Current guy nick Walsh expected to stay

1st November 2022 I believe it is the first day on the job for both Ross the Boss (RTB) & also Geoff Walsh - thus it will be tomorrow. What is the first action for each on the first day (knowing that both worked last week) RTB - dial the number of SOS or Riewoldt to offer roles in a capacity goi...

Clarke was at the club during the week & was at the press conference.

He was in pictures & videos talking to Ross the Boss

Hopefully Hunter will be one of the players to get the best out of skills under RTB

Yes what was the "final hurdle"

Could be reporting lines?
Who does Ross report to?.
Footy manager Walsh or CEO Simon?
Of course Ross would like todo things his own way - but he must report to someone

march on sainter girls !!!

should have / could have won by alot more

I have yet to move on with emotions of Luke ball leaving

But yes to Ross the boss from me

Really happy that Jack has resigned albeit for 1 year Injury plagued to date If he has a good run at it (injury wise) he has a lot to offer in my view. However possibly fallen in ranking behind Marcus W Form with Sandy towards the end of the year was very solid as the ball winning in inside mid. Sho...

Can you believe that!! Sorry - meant to add to previous thread - recent Age article https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/he-loves-st-kilda-ross-lyon-waiting-for-call-from-st-kilda-saints-20221015-p5bq0w.html St Kilda want to appoint their new senior coach within a fortnight, with Ross Lyon’s long-tim...

Glass half full for me Last 3 games - lost to 3 of top 4 teams Geelong, Brisbane & Sydney - got close to Lions & Swans We could have played the bottom 3 teams & made finals I would rather be in the position of knowing that we are currently not good enough to match the top 4 teams (rather...

As a life long and generational saints supporter, an element of the club that has matched our lack of onfield success has been the poor and unstable administration.

Matt has provided stability, integrity and respect to the club off field.

Thanks matt

Just have the feeling that the saints (the old dog) have a few more bites in us in 2022. Not expected to win any games - do we prefer the underdog status (i think so) Is the pressure off a little to play more expansively with a nothing to loose mindset? (we have plenty to lose however do our opponen...

Great decision
Congrats to Ratts, Board & all involved.

"Stability is Gold"
(Great decision from our club who for a lot of its 150 year history has been unstable)

Some better news

Southern saints (AFLW) have knocked over the demons by 20 points today.
To play bombers next week (i think)

March on Saint girls!!

So we move into the bye - 8 & 3 Saints are 4th.......Sandringham 3rd Would have taken this outcome in March in a heart beat There have been many positives - just to name a few Record membership Exciting footy Two of our better young players (Coffield & Clarke) have not played Gresham back an...

I thought Sebs 3rd term deserved his own thread Watching the 20 minutes of the 3rd again (as we all have a number of times), Seb was instrumental His speed to motor away from centre clearance & his disposal (yes..... a big tick to both) We do take what he does foe granted & he has led the re...

went for a walk with the dog this afternoon & ended up at Beach Road

Oscar Adams is a HUGE unit - he took a few marks & assisted Highmore & Lienert

He is raw & will take time ....Let's hope he can make it

Current outs
Coffield - season
Hayes - season
Hannebery - 6
Clarke - 2

Probably 3 possibly in best 22 (apart from Hayes)

Given Billings & Jones both return this week via VFL, ...we cannot complain about injuries compared to other clubs
What a massive change from this time last year

casual bike ride along the foreshore at Sandringham this morning ended up at beach road oval - saints were training Only saw the ending 30 minutes - would have been 30 degrees at that point without going into individual players (hard to pickout given number of changes over last few years) there was ...

“so, when i was in negotiations i knew exactly that this was the place i wanted to be for the rest of my career.

As a late 50"s year old emotional Saints tragic, the above comments brings tears to my eyes
He is one of us
Thanks Jack

Love number 15 - however also would have been great to see Jack Billings in the top 10 (he appeared to have completed the run)
Lets hope that he has at least improved over last year - running ability is an area of his game where improvement could elevate his performance into the elite category

After the draft last week
Main list = 36
Cat A rookie = 4
Cat B rookie = 2
Total = 42

All too confusing to me, however is there any further spots on the list that we can add via inviting players to train or mid season draft?
