Crikey Scollop, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm starting to get the distinct impression that you don't agree with St Kilda recruiting Jack Macrae!

Crikey Scollop, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm starting to get the distinct impression that you don't agree with St Kilda recruiting Jack Macrae! Just to ease your mind, look at it this way, he is merely replacing another ageing midfielder in Brad Crouch, which should have not the slightest impact ...

Scollop has compiled a persuasive case why St Kilda should not be acquiring Jack Macrae. I have likewise argued that if Macrae at 30 is not preferred by Footscray over Tom Libaratore who is 32 doesn't that tell you that he is no longer A grade? But I acknowledge that as supporters we do not have pos...

Wtf does 'woke' have to do with it? Does 'woke' mean you disagree with people having brains? You are either aware of consequences or you're not. What Ginnivan did had the potential to fire up the opposition and it possibly gave Port the spark they needed. Those were the consequences However... Ginn...

The adverse reaction towards Hinkley's gestures to Ginnivan post game is typical of the 'woke' era we live in, political correctness gone mad! You only need to look at Hinkley's broad smile while he was having a "crack at Jack" to understand that he was poking fun at a little bloke who fan...

I normally don't get all that worked up about the other teams, but funnily enough I felt myself hoping like hell Port (who I don't particularly like either) would beat the Hawks last night. It's their arrogance, the swagger of their players and past players like Lewis and Roughead, the smugness of t...

Our current mids are not good enough Ross alludes to it constantly That may be so BM, but do you really believe Macrae will make St Kilda's midfield all that much better? It's not as though he's one of those intimidatory midfield bulls like Dustin Martin, Jordan de Goey, Patrick Dangerfield, Jason ...

Dan Hannebery had a severely banged up body when he came to Moorabbin whereas I've not seen any reports that Macrae is in the same boat. But it's the remaining 3 years on Macrae's current contract that's a huge concern. I don't think Macrae's addition to the team will necessarily mean St Kilda will ...

Would they move Harvey to Sandy as coach and get a new forwards coach into the Saints Your Honour, I present the following pieces of evidence Exhibit A Our win against Injectors Ex B Our win vs Shitney Ex C Win vs Cats Ex D Win vs Bluebaggers I present these as proof positive that Harves has improv...

If you're looking for some light entertainment check out the latest podcast by a highly frustrated Blues fan:

This topic should have been called "Culture of Success" which is fundamental to every organisation, including first grade professional sporting teams, seeking to be the best in their fields of endeavour. It has to permeate through every level, from the MD, CEO, down to the lowest individua...

Heath has reached the point where we need to start seeing that our investment is going to be worth it. Needs to show something to justify remaining on the list I don’t agree. As long as he is showing progress, we need to persevere. Heath is only 21 years of age. As long as his fitness and strength ...

One year extensions puts the onus on all of them to lift their games or they'll be gone afterwards. I find it interesting that Jack Hayes is still not decided, is he likely to remain if Tim Membrey goes to another club?? He's been injured for most of the time since he started in 2022, played just 8 ...

The Melbourne Age this week reported that St Kilda had put a deal to Membrey but that they were happy for him to look around for a better deal elsewhere. In the same article they also mentioned that St Kilda were no longer interested in Dylan Shiel, which will please a lot of supporters...

Total clearances were pretty even last night - 40/36 Geelong's way but at stoppages the Cats had 9 more than Port. Other interesting stats from the match were Port's 53 inside 50 to Geelong's 57, which translated to 20 shots (37.7%) and 39 (68.4%) respectively. But it was Geelong's uncontested posse...

No big deal, six years including four as coach of the reserves is enough, it's not as though Sandringham has achieved much success during his tenure.

It makes perfect sense for both Batchelor and the Saints for him to move on and St Kilda to get some fresh blood into the development role....

On Fox Footy the other night Jonathan Brown reviewed St Kilda's season and suggested what I and others have been saying, get Max King to play further up the ground, at CHF and 2nd ruck, to get him more involved in the game and build his confidence. You'd imagine this would take a lot of pressure off...

Agree with everything you've said. However.... First Hill and now Wood. Soft cap limitation means we essentially retain 34 and 35 years olds on the playing list for the last year of their contract. We'd be keeping them in 2026 and 2027 at the expense of bringing in 18-23 year olds. We are hoping th...

I edited the title. Posted earlier but removed it… I was a bit miffed by Mason getting 3 years. He’s already 30 and there were some signs (IMO) that he’s plateauing in terms of form though he finished the season strongly. Having thought more about though… worst case scenario, if he’s spending the l...

I know that a lot of supporters feel aggrieved by Battle's decision to play for Hawthorn, but look at it this way: is he any different to anyone else in professions, whether it be sport or business, science, academia??? In today's world people change jobs all the time, for all sorts of reasons, ofte...

Hell's Bells, can't remember the last time people have got so worked up over a player leaving to play elsewhere!! Conspiracy theories that the AFL doesn't want St Kilda to succeed are absolute rubbish. Time will tell if Hawthorn have offered enough to trigger a frdp following St Kilda's 7th, but if ...

As much as we would have liked Josh Battle to sign a new long term contract to remain at Moorabbin, it's not the end of the world, not by a long shot. He's been an integral part of St Kilda's back six, but physically Arie Schoenmaker is the same size as Battle, but a much younger version, and has al...

I agree on the point he needs to leave Melbourne, surely they cannot welcome him back after everything that has suppodsly transpired? Rumours are he wants to go to a big melbourne club with success on the horizon. This leaves really Collingwood and Carlton as the only viable options, no way colling...

Haha, I didn't read your post before starting a separate thread on this very subject Scollop, but tell me, do you think Max is going to make it as a key forward, and if not, would you redesignate his role as either 2nd ruck or key defender, which is what I've proposed (believing the club won't trad...
