Re: Calling Saints Mega Fans - Trivia Competition at hand

Hey Skeptic. I'd like to through up some controversy about the Alpaca paddock that has a very personal story. My dads great great Grand mother was born across the road from St.Kilda Park Primary and her dad owned a fair bit of St.Kilda prior to the St.Kilda Cricket Ground being allocated 8 acres of ...

Re: Who is the most power weilding person at a footy club and why.?

Serious hypothetical What if Donald Trump - seriously people, please consider this - what if Donald Trump offered to run St Kilda Footy club? Would you accept? Let's say his lawyers quickly got connected and keyed into the mechanics of the deal. They read the cosnstitution and know they need to for...

I think Collard is a long term prospect and will play regardless.

Re: Calling Saints Mega Fans - Trivia Competition at hand

CQ Saint and Dave McNamara, thank you both for playing. I won’t tally the scores yet but from a cursory glance, I think CQ over took Vort but in all likelihood, me thinks Dave is the likely front runner at this stage. Plenty of room for improvement. Couple of questions on the board yet to be answer...

Re: Will Olli Hotton be the real deal??

Watching the highlights and videos of that draft… if the crop that we got, Hotton was actually my early tip for top of the heap. I thought he locked fantastic and looked to have that extra it factor that comes with composure and smart decision making. Then unfortunately he got injured and despite s...

Re: DFC

I'm guessing you didn't know that it attracted more than $20m in funding including over $15m funding from state and federal government, so we can train there.

Re: Will Olli Hotton be the real deal??

From the training reports, Garcia and Wilson are already ahead of him. But that could just be first year hype, and it's only training. Played some very good VFL games last year when played in the midfield instead of half forward or half back. For some reason we are blooding our young players throug...

Re: Simon Lethlean finished at St. Kilda effective immediately?

Lethlean was in the recruiting department- list management? I did not know that?? Yeah he was told to keep his focus as CEO off the football department and his yes men were all told to seek employment elsewhere. He was an influence as General Manager of Football and COO, naive to consider otherwise.
