Replies: 238

Always worried about Lynch, especially when he was continually played out of position when he made the seniors. And I will never forget Fletcher turning him inside out in his first game. That was terrible. Lyon crucified him that night. He was terrible against Sydney this year too. I will take the d...

This has got a whole Dermott McNichol feel to it. A lot of hype but we never get to see the guy play at the top level for us. Always an excuse, with McNichol it was a mysterious stomach muscle strain, with Walsh it has been an issue of structures. The reality of it all is that the guy is an athlete....

Jones finished top ten in our B&F. No way will he be traded to Freo now - or anywhere else for that matter. In a way I'm gald that he did so well. He usually gets the jobs no-one else, with the exception of Bakes, would want. Congrats CJ! As for Freo and trade deals, I think they will probably b...

Spot on! Frankston city signage all acknowledges that St. Kilda are a part of that community/locality. Frankston, for all it's social ills, is at least appreciative of the opportunities and mutual benefits a top class sporting outfit can bring, not to mention the prestige. I supported the move whole...

I am probably being a tad touchy but here goes: there was a segment about our major sponsor, which was hardly positive. Despite the fact that our major sponsor deals with several other teams, the St Kilda commercial was the one that came under mild scrutiny. At the end of the segment as a kind of (v...

Very ordinary from Kingston -nee Moorabbin Council - on this one. St Kilda should point to Windy Hill and Kardinia Park as examples of what pro-active and progressive councillors do when they are fortunate enough to have a team from the best sporting body in the country representing their locality. ...

I'd keep Peake and Jones - obviously we'd probably like to see both of them replaced by youngsters steeping up, particularly in light of dodgy kicking skills, but they are certainly well worth keeping on the list. Jones is the new Jack Daniels, foot skills are ordinary and will probably never improv...

And Nick Gruen from The Gruen Transfer should go on that list as well for some comments he made a few weeks ago too.

I don't have a problem with the joke per se, except that there does seem to be a double standard at play here. Case in point: that Rita lady on SEN who went on and on about how morally corrupt St Kilda is and how she retracted her comments about Lyon's treachery due to our misogynistic culture. Now,...

The next one we win, I would like it to be by six goals at least. At least that way I can actually enjoy the win, not pray that we can hold on. FWIW I still think back to those bittersweet minutes after BJ's goal with an odd mixture of nostalgia and regret. The moments I thought that I would see us ...

BJ will end up captaining the club, if not next year then probably the year after that. A true leader in the mould of Lenny with the mongrel of Robbie Mace thrown in.

Rosebury is a good umpire I think. He may have made a couple of blues today, but generally he is one of the more consistent umps going 'round. Good to see the Maggies go down convincingly, even if it was hard to support Geelong after 2009. I just don't think I could have dealt with another summer of...

Grand Final Parade

Apparently they did, I wasn't there, but I heard on SEN that the ferals were trying to drown him out with their chanting.
Unsure if they were as loud as last year though.

why not an experienced senior coach?

I am a little concerned that names like Watters are in the mix. Sure, sometimes these gambles pay off, but often they don't (Watson), or take years to bear fruit (Alves). I appreciate that these guys have done their so-called apprenticeships but I would much rather have Eade or Williams at the helm,...

I'm tipping that players recruited from the country, or interstate (WA for instance) couldn't give a rat's tossbag where we train, as long as the ammenities are up to scratch, which they are at Seaford. There was bound to be relocation issues, but personally, I reckon the move is the club acknowledg...

williams for mine - but Eade would be okay too

No doubt in my mind who I would prefer to see at the helm next year - Mark Williams. He knows how to get a team to the top - and keep them there until the luck you need to win a Flag falls your way (and luck is a major factor, let's face it). He also has the passion I like to see in a St Kilda coach...

Seaford can be even better than Seaford

Players from the Peninsula, especially the area between Mordialloc and Rosebud to the south, and Berwick to the east, certainly didn't hurt Hawthorn for 25 odd years... Based down there, our recruiters will be able to dig up a lot of local knowledge which will help us to use our late draft picks we ...
