Re: Cold Hard Facts

A bit of a myth that our draw was easy at the start of last year ... in the first 7 games we played 3 teams that were in the Finals from 2022 and played 3 teams that ended up playing Finals alongside us in 2023 ... including the Premier 6 of first 7 games were against sides that finished in the Top...

Re: Cold Hard Facts

Got more chance of winning 1st division in the lotto than us making they 8 this season. Those are the facts. We are well short on talent and way off the pace. We over achieved last season.

Re: Philipou’s Manager

What a bizarre rant. All Tom Morris did was pick up on a tweet from a player’s manager, and that manager was very critical of his players coach. That is extremely relevant on a whole heap of levels and worth discussing. But because it’s St Kilda, we dismiss it because we don’t like it. If that was ...

Re: Are we going full tilt in 2024????

The point is Jones is far better at this stage to both Hastie and Garcia at this stage. I'm sure he is worth 5 points. Agree Curly that Jones could be a better option but based on his AFL games this season, especially his game against Richmond it is clear something is not right with him. He looked ...

Re: Philipou’s Manager

Was what he said incorrect?! Not at all, very entitled to have an opinion but to express it by throwing other players under the bus so publicly is just mind blowingly loose and amateurish for a player manager. King and Owens will be filthy and this is the type of thing that causes friction amongst ...

Re: Philipou’s Manager

Take what we can get for him. Just signed him so at least have an upper hand. His manager tweeted (now deleted) that Lyon is a dud Where there is smoke….. Really? Where's the screenshot? f****** tool if true. Pou's manager has just ended his own career you'd think.... If I was Pou I'd be sacking hi...

Re: Philipou’s Manager

From what I understand Pou's manager has probably just started the beginning of the end of his career as a player manager. More or less told the AFL world that Pou has gotten worse via a Tweet, not to mention throwing King and Owens under the bus at the same time which they will be filthy about towa...

Re: wallpaper fallen off - cracks exposed

Good thread I thought last year the difference was exposed by GWS in that final I walked away knowing we were a long way off it and knowing we’d had a decent draw I thought this year (like when Lyon took over last time) could be a step back k to go forward- especially playing kids The club have bee...

The injuries haven't helped combined with a very young and inexperienced team.

It's a rebuild and patience will be needed.

Re: RTB's Presser

And for what it's worth, we have a midfielder, albeit a champion, coaching the forward line and a midfield coach with no experience. Is this the norm among the top teams? Yes men perhaps? Yesmen tend to keep their jobs at St Kilda Let’s hope there’s someone who can challenge Ross during the week an...

Re: Thank you St Kilda

That’s not what Basset thinks, Beg to differ. Listen to the press conference held by Bassett to announce Ross had been signed as coach. Also Read his letter to members from a few weeks ago. Ross was given a mandate to rebuild. It's just been sold to us as a restumping, or rewiring, or restoration o...
