The topic of Goose being delisted was always going to split supporters, as does the real possibility that Luke Ball won't be in a Saints jumper next year. There are a lot of people who are disgusted that the club has shown disloyalty to a great player who was injured in the line of battle. And ther...

Zac was always going to be promoted and rightfully so. Should only get better next year now he has the confidence of knowing he's a genuine senior player and without the constant fan & media speculation about Maxy. In regards to Luke it's a big tick from the club given he's 23 years old (tomorro...

Very sad for Goose but there is no doubt that his injuries have been his downfall and not the St Kilda Football Club. Nathan Brown's and Egan's retirements would not have helped his push back in to the Seniors. I had hoped that with a full pre-season and working with the existing defensive group, t...

Not dynamic or aggressive enough. Rooke/Hamill are ferocious at the man and the ball. Blake is a solid reliable 6'4 player who is not dynamically quick, ie has great closing speed or lays bone crunching tackles. Would just clog up our fwd line I reckon. Well yes you may have to whack some tabasco o...

I post this as an alternative to all the Trade Week, Luke, X, Raph, Goose etc posts that have occupied our minds over the last week. Shortly after the GF I suggested this idea to my best mate. He immediately suggested I seek medical attention for a mental illness! So I thought it would be a chance t...

I'm new to this forum however have been a Saints member for about 37 years. For the record I'm an unabashed Raph supporter who has been unsuccessfully trying to convince the facebook morons of their ignorance and stupidity. However, with a few exceptions, they are beyond saving. No doubt most of th...

From the club's point of view I can't help but feel it's more about freeing up space in the cap and on the list (noting we've already picked up 2 players with possibly 1 more to come). And given X's history it would be a bit hard to demand more than we got from Brisbane. And from X's point of view i...

That almost brought a tear to the eye. I know he has decided to move on to further develop his career, but it is sad all the same. Good luck Xavier!!! I hope you can resurrect your career and the St Kilda faithful with be the first to applaud you and get behind you, even if you are wearing another ...

Add me to that list.

Not sure that Luke can or will get back to the Saints after what has transpired (him asking to be traded and us picking up Lovett & Peake etc). May well have reached the point of no return and if the Pies stuff us around we may just have to look at other clubs that may want him.
