Re: Ratta to shake up Saints forward half

Gary Lyon :roll: suggesting playing Paddy in defense. Paddy would get slaughtered, he does not have the running capacity, speed or athleticism to go with the modern key forwards. What would happen to Paddy matched up on Daniher, Hogan, Franklin, Kennedy, Darling, Tex Walker, Hipwood, Lynch etc? Gar...

Re: St Kilda are the laughing stock of the AFL

Buckenara’s verdict: I’ve always said it’s hard to go past talented key forwards when they’re available, especially when they’re very athletic but if I was at St Kilda I probably would have taken a midfielder at pick No.4 simply because of their urgent need for class in that area. Why isn't someone...

If we had of had even average attendances this year we probably could have taken off 1-2M more.

On field counts for a lot. Another year like 2017 and we are cactus.

Re: St Kilda are the laughing stock of the AFL

I think everyone was rather surprised by our later picks. It flies in the face of most clubs recruiting. They are not "short term" picks, but more "immediate impact" picks than anything. All those guys could eek out 5 year, 100 game careers. Will be interesting to see if one or ...

Re: No 12 maybe taken out of mothballs.

I am not convinced about the 12 number. Roo was almost our greatest player...certainly in the top 5. Maybe mothball it for a couple of years. Just my opinion. I think it should be presented after the new recruit has shown his wares.

The comment was in relation to drafting Bytel. Plus its true. The staff at Moorabbin know what they're doing in drafting Bytel and his injury. You and others don't.

He was actually listed as 77kg, played 250 games so he was certainly a very good footballer. Would mick get a game for the saints today?

Give him Russel Morris's wonky 12. Haha I had totally forgotten that until your post!

Re: St Kilda are the laughing stock of the AFL

One thing to remember is that other clubs have improved their lists as well, so it stands to reason if we finished 15th in 2018 that we would have to recruit much better than other clubs to climb up the ladder. The above players are not midfielders yet, 3 of them are forwards and the new ones are no...

I had absolutely no idea of any sexual connotation for The Cho (like 99.9999% of everyone wouldn't have) however I did think it was a slightly derogatory term from people that wanted Richardson sacked for his 33% winning record.

There's been no rule change. You need to get out in the big wide world dragit. Not an ideal world I agree.
