yes @MickThomas but a young talented player wont be a FREE agent. Motlop we may be able to get for zip. He would add an X factor to the Saints something we sadly lack.

Weak management always frame their objectives in open language with very little numerical language so that they cannot be measured and so gives them wiggle room. The reason why people find visions, missions and objectives so pointless is that they are usually framed in vague platitudes that are impo...

I cant see us getting anyone. we have the most money and good picks WTH!!! Pick 7 Stephenson, Pick 8 Coffield. Would be STOKED with those two. Both could be guns. Tall, Athletic, fast. NO: Motlop, Trengove, Menzel YES: ROCKYbut going to carlton, KELLY staying, LEVER to melbounre (WTH WHY?), STRINGE...

Always been a Cinderella Club and we are still an amateur Club compared to several other members.

Another one is Matthew Kennedy from GWS. Big bodied first round midfielder. Quick and can kick a goal and would not be on much now or in the future with the likes of Kelly, Whitfield, Shield, Cameron etc hogging the cap. What I am saying is there are many players out there that would be of benefit t...

One from left field to fill a key back position is SAM COLLINS from Freemantle. Aged 23 height 194 cms weight 97 kgs. Oakleigh Chargers, Box Hill, Freemantle. First season in 2016 was good with solid 14 games down back. Fell out of favour with Lyons because he kept playing Zac Dawson instead of the ...

Gaff might be available, gettable and suitable!

how good would that be having Schache and Mc Cartin together on the forward line, I pay double to go watch that circus.

Whose position would he take?

any of the slow hacks we have, Lonie, Weller, Minchinton, Armitish, Geary,

tony74 wrote:Connellan

Agreed if they play him

We are the Charlie Brown's of the competition, ps. Those outrageous bits of good fortune seem to favour others, not us. Think about it. I've seen my saints in five GFs for zero wins. First there was Keddie's last quarter 4 goal blitz, after nearly being taken off before 3/4 time in 1971. In 1997, w...

Quickest way to build a list of cloggers is to draft other clubs has beens. We have trouble developing our own young players let alone fixing up a slow injury prone 26 year old from Melbourne.

if Mav goes does that mean we dont have to trade for his Freo brother. Many Saints supporters seem to want to build an incestous club where the coaches are all ex St Kilda players and all our draft selections have some family connection. Strange stuff although it is probably just a good a reason to ...

Dont think we will get Whitfield and personally would not be upset. Now Kelly is a different cat and would make a big difference. Would like to see the three rookie elevations play a lot of the pre season comp and get early games if they perform. Not sold on Stephenson. Brander and Fogerty wont have...

Here is my official wish list: 6 ON Pick 7 = Brander or Fogarty Pick 8 = Whitfield Pick 47 = Best available in draft Promote = Connellan, Marshall, O'Kearney 6 OFF Joey, Roo, Dempster, Wright, Lonie, Holmes Nice wishlist. Agree with the rookie elevations. Brander and Fogarty (if you mean Darcy) are...

That trick with the Red Sea has already been done. The other tricks you ask for are much harder to achieve. But Footscray and Richmond has/are showing the way. I bet any St Kilda supporter who watched the Richmond game would have said to themselves I wish we could have got Martin. Yes he wont win a ...

we all know it takes 22 but Martins class shone out in the last quarter and won the game for them. We could do with someone like him instead of what we dish up some weeks.

Agreed, Jiggster. We have a long history of relying on "messiahs". We do need him and he would be a crucial acquisition, but what we need more is rapid improvement and development of the talent we have. We have talent on the list in White, McCartin, Goddard, Pierce, Freeman and McKenzie, ...

Need to get game time into guys like McKenzie and Long. The quicker we can them to 50 games the better.

and how do we do that if we constantly play players who are lacking. There is only 22 players!

Its not the end of the world if we use our two top picks in the draft. It could be much worse for us and we have nothing at all. There is a high chance that whoever we take in the draft that both kids will turn into good and regular senior players in 2-4 years given they're top 10. The recruiting s...

McCartin, Battle and H.Goddard. Unfortunetly we have yet to see these players. But all 3 are future elite players. Relax give it time. 2019/2020 youll be loving all 3. McCartin is training the house down. ALL these BS rumors about him fair dinkum such crap. Hopper to carton was it? Fyfe to Saints? ...

we could beat GWS on tonights effort but no way we could beat Adelaide

Lobbe = Longer

Jacobs = no one we have on our team

Here's is my go at our Rnd 1 team 2018 as the list stands prior to trades and draft picks assuming everyone fit and available and natural improvement of another pre season; B: Geary, Brown, Webster HB: White, Carlisle, Roberton C: Newness, Ross, Sinclair HF: Billings, Bruce, Acres F: Membrey, McCar...
