Long is 25, Stack still only 22.

He's an arsehole for trying to drag Saad down. His sporting authority tried to do him a favour and only penalised him half of what Saad got. This was way short of ASADA's benchmark, so they had little choice but to appeal. I suspect that the AFL will have wisened up to this, and hit Saad with the mi...

I agree, we should piss ASADA off, but AFL wants the government funding, so we play the rules. Seriously, if the AFL needs funding, then we are all screwed. THe AFL will not want to stand out and say, we are better than every other code and we don't need the WADA/ASADA system. It would label them a...

It appeared to me like Westaway was reluctant in the CEO role and was happy as a successful business man and club supporter to do the role..this is purely my opinion. At the end of the day we are a club in turmoil after all that, no further premierships, looking for a coach and CEO, finances in tro...

The blokes gettin half a mill next year to go on holidays - he ll be right . Yeah its hard for guys like Watters to come back from something like this ( Its hard to think what his next job will be ). That's the reason for contracts though, it lets them make financial commitments without risk of the...

Obviously a lot of people in this world think that people are all either Adolf Hitler or Mother Therisa.

As for power struggles in organisations, I'd back the guy higher up in the organisational chart to win in most cases.

I'm happy with our draft. I'd rather lose some close ones against Adelaide and West Coast, than thump GWS twice and get a worse draft pick for the effort.

OK the club should send a rep down to the bookie, and put a million on one of the 12:1 coaches, then appoint them.

If the bookies want to be stupid enough to place bets on this sort of stuff.

Arrr cmon over here Jack m'lad.

I wasn't a massive Raph fan, but if you have a look at the available talent for the 2003 draft , you'd have to be a fortune teller to find the diamands in the rough there. Raph was better than many there. The trouble is it just took so long before he wasn't clearly best 22 anymore ( so more an issue...

fingers wrote:I'm not sure why everyone is suggesting Dunnell and Ferguson. I thought they showed enough. Can we delist Saad with a view to re-listing him in 2 years?

Ferg requires a spot on the list (from the Rookie list ) so for him to be in, someone else ( maybe Dunnell ) is out.

Players like Jesse White and Shaun Hampson have had decent AFL career,s and at worst Stanley will be similar.

What would the BEST St Kilda round 1 line up be, given the inclusions thus far? (to be revised post draft) If it looked somewhat like this I would be happy: B: NEWNES DELANEY DEMPSTER HB: FISHER BRUCE WRIGHT C: HAYES ARMITAGE SAUNDERS HF: SCHNEIDER RIEWOLDT SAVAGE F: STANLEY LEE MONTAGNA R: HICKEY ...

Fine would appear to have been more destructive towards the club than anyone he is talking about. He is trying to make the impression that StKilda is in turmoil. If it is, or is not the case, publicising this does not help the team I love and support. In publicising it he has joined sides with a sid...

Much as I love to know what's going on during trade period, its only sensible to keep all the cards close to the chest.
Last thing the club needs is , in the middle of a game of bluff, some idiot tweeting, " If Collingwood stick to their guns we'll us our first round pick "

Saad's work is pretty "interesting" the way he dribbles the ball with his hands, keeping it alive to try and get a clear possession and shot at goal.
It doesn't always work but if he starts pulling off what hes trying to achieve then... wow.

Holmes seems interesting too.

We have so many tall half back players its hard to fit them in, simpkin , roberton, dempster , fisher , Gilbert, gwilt. Some are going to have to find new roles I really rate Simpkin, but I think he's depth for now. ( or maybe in front of Bruce ). Dempster can play as a general "tagger" i...

Thanks for above Tis from afl website under heading losers St Kilda IN: Shane Savage, Luke Delaney, Billy Longer, Josh Bruce OUT: Nick Dal Santo (FA), Ben McEvoy PICKS: 3, 18, 19, 95 The Saints were very active in the trade period but it's hard to get excited about any of the business they did. The...

NAB cup I reckon we play a forward line with Stanley, Lee and Longer
Best of Stanley or Longer play round 1 with Riewoldt coming in.
No room for Bruce in the forward line.

Footy clubs don't need to make profit. Breaking even is good. The AFL is aware of the Etihad stadium situation ( which doesn't affect the Lions ) More people watch TV than go to the game. There are people all over Australia who cannot practically go to a game. It makes sense to keep all the clubs go...

The stuff about Senior players is absolute baloney. DalSanto , while willing is clearly emotional about it. Fisher refused to go to GWS ( probably for more money ). Joey is an incredible spokesman for the Saints. Riewoldt , is Riewoldt ' Does it all boil down to Tom Ledger being disgruntled in some ...

We all realise Bruce kicks like Tom Hickey.....while he will be great we need to get used to very average disposal from this guy........what will be will be fellas...and ladies That's OK , Hickey kicks way better than Max Hudghton, and I still have a man crush on Max. ( We just need our other backs...

If it happened someone would have spilt their guts by now.
Whats funny is that Dank and his cohorts managed to convince the ( allegedly ) intelligent Hird that Collingwood were on the gear and all the winners were.
So Hird being ( in reality ) a dumb f*** ate it up.

What position does he even play

He's not good enough in any position

Isn't he a poor man's GIlbert, Roberton, Dempster etc etc.

Hamil practically lived on the set when he had that 2 week setback.
