Definitely not.... 2001Nick waltzes into Harvard - Gehrig, Everitt, Loewe, Hall...with Hamill, Hayes, Harvey, Milne in the mid and small forwards....SUPPORT. ALL DAY EVERY GAME...for years.

Teflon would have been a star under the roof at Marvel. I've heard he hated it when it was windy or it rained. He preferred to sit on the bench and wait for ideal conditions

That's how he gained most of his footy iq. Observing his team mates winning the footy and getting cold and wet

Jack Sinclair was no good in his first few years. You're right... I've done a comparison of Sinclair in 2016 with Pou for this year. He was very skinny and lacked strength in his first 2 years, but he attacked every contest. I think he suffered severe concussion and it set him back for a short peri...

Re: win banked and move on

We also need to be seen as an attractive option for free agents on the move. Draft picks are not the only option. Are we aiming for top 4 in 2025? Are we flag contenders in 2026? I don't think we're either...so let the development occur organically with a core group of youth aided by the experience...

Re: win banked and move on

I'm not suggesting the club and coaches deliberately tank. I just think the long term is more important than banking wins in the short term

Get as many games as possible into our youth and continue to provide decent opportunities to them.

Nice cliche heading. Congratulations I know it helps our sanity having more wins and it makes for happier fans in the short term...but I'd rather we bank a pick 5 in the National Draft rather than a pick 8 or 9 or 10. Here's some of the quality that has gone at pick 5 in the last 20 years. Connor Ro...

Re: No Pressure

All our tackles are too weak. 95% of the time the player just gets hands away, or breaks the tackle.

Yeah nah...

Whatever you do, please don't tell us he's a ripper 😭

I like Pou. I think he's got the talent and the right attitude to make it as an AFL player, but I'm nervous about the way St Kilda develop some of our so called 'star' young players.
