The question mark (for me) is not so much with the younger or new players, it is whether the older players retain their form. Was Riewoldts year an aberration, or is that his new standard? Will Kosi, Milne, Hayes form be affected by being a year older? If they don't drop off significantly in form th...

Add Tim Lane and Steve Quarterbrain to the list.

It's not so what Maher says, it's how long he takes to say it.

As long as he can get the ball, hit a target, and doesn't break in half when tackled, I'll be happy.

If Harv goes, Ling as midfield coach.

Good to see you're posting again Parrot. You went missing for a while there.

I assume your medication is now working.

If Rob Harvey wants to be the next coach of St.Kilda, what would be the better path? 1) to stay at the Saints as an assistant, or 2) to go to another successful club, expand his repertoire and reputation, then return as the prodigal son. IMHO option 2 would make him much more likely to eventually co...

Symptoms of malaria include fever, shivering, joint pain, vomiting, and convulsions.

Lets hope he has that effect on the opposition.

Very very light = 68 kg Some dudes do mature late - and weight is a factor. Has 6 months to bulk up now. If he commits to a weights program and a diet and takes it seriously - he can make it. interest will be how much weight he puts on apparently same height as Dal Santo but 16 kg lighter that is a...

It's great to get back to pairs of double consonants like under dear old Rod. Rod Butterss - what a great pair of doubles! Now Scott Watters. Shame it wasn't Watterss. Ross Lyon had double consonants so did Graham Gellie and Enrico Misso :!: Edit: Just read more closely. We need pairs of double con...

So we'd have Nic Haynes and Nick Heyne.

I think we should go for more Toms.

Meaning what? Lack of effort? Not hard enough at the ball? Loses concentration?

To all the posters suggesting we delist Dawson, I'm just wondering who then plays at fullback? Tommy Walsh?

I love the way this place works......Tommy has gone, the king is dead, we need a new messiah, so "All hail King Paul".

Don't get me wrong, I'm on board, but I really hope he is the King, not just a naughty boy.

And here’s my nomination for today’s silliest comment. The loss of Tommy Walsh may, just may, provide a lifeline to the almost universally panned Paul Cahill. He’s been in the system a few years and just like Walsh, he has kicked 6 goals in a VFL game for Sandy. A sudden dearth of height may ...

I think Gamble and Polo, then maybe Smith & Archer.

Does anyone know when the cut-off point for delistings is?

He's not even a stick. He's a twig.

I'm hoping he has a MASSIVE preseason.......

Paul Cahill will be the surprise packet of 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Unless he gets delisted, then I might change my pick).

I'd rather have Mark Jackson back before Fev.

Time will tell if this is good or bad, if we get two good kids in the draft for the selections we got for Walsh then it may be "Tommy who?"

There may also be an AFL rule we are unaware of, we may have been over our allocations of Toms - hence we had to cut two (Walsh & Lynch).

When is the deadline for delistings?

I imagine Gamble & Polo might be nervous.

Watters on SEN: Very busy already, meeting players, other club people, etc. He wants to be across everything, to ensure they're all on the same page - can then give people space to grow. Not going to micro manage. Thinks previous coaching experience (WAFL) will stand him in good stead. Interviewing ...

Yes, but it ends AFTER the season's finished. So there's time to double our premiership tally.

I would like "Never say die."

or "Bugger the bubble - just head for goal".

He's never coached us to a win.

Must be under pressure.

As others have mentioned he spoke about "WE" as if he'd been a Saints man all his life. Also said that Robert Harvey will always have a place at St.Kilda and will sit down and talk with him. Interested also that he mentioned the development of the list not only with the young guys, but sai...

After reading the Robbo interview it seems that at least his head is back on straight. That's just as important as his knees.
