I reckon we would stand a better chance this year. Next year it could be quite expensive. Or he could be cheaper after second year blues. If he only becomes Oscar Mc Donald or even if he's Joe Daniher or Jesse Hogan what have we gained. We have sold Bruce and Billings/ Gresham to end up with a KP d...

Lots of players are Octoberfest usually, just see which is drunkest and drag them home in you suitcase. AFL lucky dip. Should be long enough for Stockholm syndrome to kick in.

So BM, what side would St Kilda have had on the park for the final Round of 2019 if it had accepted your selections? And, given you are such an all knowing Guru, how come you are on this site and not in the gainful employment of an AFL Club heading up their recruitment department? The process to Dr...

Back to Bruce Who takes his place as a 6’5” 100kg Forward with massive work rate in 2020? Probably Marshall or Battle or someone else, I'll let you know after the trade period. Let's face it, this time last year we had no idea Marshall could actually ruck. He's a terrific ball winning ruck, who can...

I think it’s pretty unlikely we’ll snare Ben King to Moorabbin in the coming trade period. The bigger concern is that the Suns might try to lure Max up north. Let Ben see out his second and final year of his contract (as per his mother’s wishes) and then launch an all-out attack to get Ben to Linto...

Let's consider a glass half full situation scenario: Bruce going creates a situation that wouldn't have happened otherwise. Marshall plays mostly in the forward line and kills it. Plausible? Or glass half empty, Marshall gets a year ending injury and a 32 year old Ryder has to carry ruck and forwar...

Me, I will use my own judgement and have an opinion about football. At some point though, you need to ask yourself why you're a failed sportsman and a hack coach at suburban level. You need to face reality that you yourself, have no clue and no ability. And that in reality many, many people know fa...

Are we St.Kilda or the St.Vinmies of football recycling anyone that is available. Apart from Hill thats if we get him the others being Ryder and Jones are totally short term options and are not players for the future. Our football department and ZIG and ZAG are slowly but surely destroying our club...

Sam Gray... he’s a GOP at best... no different to Kent. He can play some midfield which is what I image he's being looked at for. Considering we need mids not forwards it still seems weird though. Perhaps they got him mixed up with Robbie Grey. Jones is the other weird one. He's best off a HBF but ...

Personally I think the biggest factor in the priority pick was the Tom Lynch & Steven May decisions to depart. I wonder if it isn't also, at least in part, because King and Lukosius - effectively their replacements - haven't signed. The league may be hoping to convince them to stay or at least ...

We'd be s*** anywhere ATM but possibly richer. Not sure what they get for Tassie but it was significant. So what's the difference between China and Tassie then? Travel, food poisoning, climactic adjustment, huge logistical difference, distance, costs. China gets us better sponsorship opportunity th...

WTF difference would Tassie make to where we're at now? A million a year for playing a couple of games? No China, no debt? We weren't getting $1m per year were we? North aren't getting that are they? And besides, what has being in Tassie done for North? f*** all. Personnally, I couldn't care less w...

Didn’t hear much whinging in here when we were the beneficiary of priority picks in 2001 that gifted us Kossi along with Roo and in the 2001 super draft that netted us Clarke. Yes they were the rules at the time, rules that encouraged tanking. If we were given a priority pick fir being crap for the...

Well my view, as put, is that the rebuild started from zilch with the taking of Billings, Dunstan and Acres as First Round Picks Post that Draft we have had some bad luck with McCartin, King and Bytel but hopefully that bad luck will correct starting from 2020 Bytel and King were known injury affec...

I don’t trust a damn thing the club does, haven’t done since they walked out on the Tassie deal ( which every person on SS thought was the correct decision ) Making up stuff again I see. Not everyone who was on Saintsational back then was in favour of Thomas pulling the Saints out of Tassie. The ma...

Mikka on Bigfooty is running with Gresham traded for King.

The AFL just hit our list management team with a folding chair.

Plastic Bertrand would have been cool. At least his one hit was a banger.

add to my OP Under the assistance deal, aimed at lifting GC, the AFL will also allow the Suns to simply list their academy players without bidding. In effect, they can simply list the players from their academy zone without going through the draft. As part of the package that zone now includes Darw...

So, contending by 2018 and premiership by 2020 with a sure fire blueprint. That was the garbage we were sold back in 2013. New coach, new list manager, new players it was going to be a journey towards success... what rot! I don’t trust a damn thing the club does, haven’t done since they walked out ...
