Not too bad as an opinion but I'd make some changes. Personally I would prefer to group them into individual match form, potential, consistency and overall team influence, after all it is a 'team' even if it's made up of individuals.

That's an interesting comment. Seems like the press have found something to stick their boots into. Now Ross has too much power. I wonder if the same could be said of other successful coaches? Let the media stick their boots in, it's probably going to take a few generations to end it, and that's if...

Starts off with the reminder that the Saints were undervalued in 2023 and now 2024 media speculations through to substantial evaluations of Henry/Hill, King, Howard and Marshall as an entree. 3300 word count for free but you need to cough up a few dollars for more. https://themongrelpunt.com/afl-sea...

SEN just broke the news No news stories I can find yet, but some will remember this Caroline Wilson piece last july: 'Saints deny talk of ‘disharmony’ behind the scenes... but a great fears a grim reality has set in' https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/st-kilda-saints/afl-2023-st-kilda-saints-dis...

Right now Sportsbet has St Kilda at $2.50 to make the 8 (11th), and $8 for top 4 - a good time to place a few hard-earned on both options!! I haven't bet for years but with those odds it's very tempting. By the way I read this earlier today; “700+ GOALS”: MOONEY’S BOLD PREDICTION FOR ST KILDA FORWA...

Hill doesn't just get the ball given to him and slap it on his boot. He uses his agility to make time and space for those down the field. A knee injury will effect this greatly. It became obvious when he was constantly over running and getting caught or corralled. He did seem disinterested or dishe...

I doubt that RL will be tell us anything that is useful as it'll get into the media and therefore get back to the playing group and the opposition, but it's a good topic and I image what has already been stated in this thread so far are on the minds of us all, besides although there will already be...

Surely Jay Clark's assumptions are embellished regarding what the coaching staff believe. I would have thought they already would have decided what each player needs to work on, bar none.

The board has improved, much less b*tching and easier to navigate since you became moderator. Your openness, current methods and interest in ongoing improvements tells me we are in good hands. I would say good riddance to a few that have bolted to BF and hope many of the others will drift back.

I think we are drafting at the fastest speed possible with care to detail and due diligence. If it ain't broke don't fix it - I am happy to let the club quietly get on with the job.

Arguably the most Jekyll and Hyde player on the list. Higgins plays as a small forward but not in the traditional crumbing sense. Whilst he can capitalise on a loose ball or work some magic in a pack, his highly erratic finishing makes each shot feel like a 50/50 btw a goal and going out of bounds ...

A very manageable injury list that allows access to the majority of our list for the entirety of the 24 season to give the coaches an extended look at the best mix of players. I'd also like to see more debuts by the kids from the national draft to see how many are capable of reaching AFL standard a...

As time went on nothing changed……for good reason

Some of the kids who just want to play AFL know there's money in it and if their not chasing the big bucks, their manager will be.

ST KILDA has opened discussions to extend exciting youngster Mattaes Phillipou's contract with the club beyond 2024.

Well, we all hate any loss, but the beginning of next season will certainly give us (and the coaching staff) a chance to see any possible weaknesses early in the season, and whether we like it or not, there is a better chance of getting a game at the G earlier in the year with the smaller crowd we b...

This is a uniquely Australian game. It is one of the many unique things about us as a nation that I parallel in my work with young men and now young women. Success is about the journey. Take a lot look around, relax, it's not all about the prize. After you achieve success, you still have to take an...

Quite a few came out with the negative stuff - perhaps that's the reason others turned it into a social media opportunity.

At his press conference, the boss indicated Wilson, Collard & Shoenmaker will play senior footy this coming season…no mention of the second year players! Psychological warfare. Pump up the young players. Keep everyone else on edge. Yeah that, plus just the one's that he comes up with on the tro...

Great work you mob - those posts (plus the signing) made my day ... and inspiring.

It looks like a lively place at the club training these days.

Your analogy is pretty well on the money for mine and I'm it's super that you've made the call, but I'm holding back on a time frame, anything can happen and every other team is patching up their list as well.

It’s not supposed to be the 7:30 report! It’s two way banter and supposed to be entertainment, not a serious interview. The excited fan is part of the show. Exactly, the interview was a bit hyped up but allowed Mason to open up and provide stuff I would never get on a formal interview. I'm so glad ...
