The size of the crest on the 150th jumper was magnificent. The way it should be. WTF would they shrink it again? Numpties.

I've let it sit for a few days and yeah, nah ... not for me. It's really tacky IMO. I'd probably have a deeper look at it had there been some planning and thought around making the Program part of the Australian Sports Foundation and hence, tax deductible. But it just feels like a 2023 version of Sa...

So if next year is a midfield rich draft this one is a big man draft so lets get 2 bigs with this draft early there are some really good bigs in the first 25 and look at a midfield later in the draft and next years draft when there are not many bigs available. My point is that we've already traded ...

That giants' game had been dropped down my St Kilda bad memory hole. Nas and Sharman were bright points on a dark day. Needless to say, players who can turn up for finals are gold. Battle was more than handy in his 100th as well I thought. In any case, I get that 'bad memory hole' thing but to be f...

Interesting talk in Cal Twomey’s phantom draft about a potential trade to move up the order: St Kilda Picks: 13, 21, 40, 77, 82, 86 (likely to use four or five selections) It will be a wait and see who gets through to St Kilda's third pick after their two early selections but they have been looking...

Capacity is 10K. Best of luck getting a ticket to that!

So I guess all that previous propaganda about getting our own St Kilda VFL Team paying out of Moorabbin is now dead and buried yeah? The biggest issue with the Sandy alliance is having to play at Beach Rd. It's a very small ground with a fair to middling surface and is almost unplayable on some of t...

Good on you Tony. Thanks for your efforts

I’d expect nothing less from you Tony Imo Anyone who thinks it’s a positive that we are paying players to play at other clubs is a delusional sycophant With all due respect (or none of it in this case) … were you dropped on the head as a child? More than once? I don’t think anyone particularly like...

If we're talking Gresham the small fwd (rarely) - then it'll be Henry; If we're talking Gresham the sometimes centre sq mid - it'll be Dow.

Hoping like hell it's Hotton - he's a super clearance player with agility and loves kicking a goal

I get it that Kane Cornes, trade radio breakfast host, doesn't like the STKFC. Has never liked the Saints. Not sure why, but that's his problem. He's made his dislike abundantly clear and he's entitled to say whatever he wants. Except when it gets it wrong. And he got it very wrong when he said the...

The Sydney chatter on Jamarra will be scaring the dogs a bit. They will definitely want to clear some cap space. The great thing is that Sydney is soooooo going to make the Dullbogs pay way overs for Jamara. They've committed a huge chunk of their cap to Naughton; will do so again for English. And ...

Good deal but I fear that future second might be a decent pick. That very much depends on where St Kilda finish in 2024. Assuming Fremantle continue to slip down the ladder future 4th could well favour the Saints. Considering Henry's potential this was definitely a very good deal by the club. Gain ...

Good deal but I fear that future second might be a decent pick. Exactly. I'd actually much rather have used this year's 2nd rounder in a weaker draft. The 2024 draft is stacked with mids and yet again - we've traded away our bargaining chip (future 2nd) in a stronger draft. Puts a lot of pressure t...

I’m going to make some observations about trade week and our footy club. Now, I don’t want to sound too critical because most of us are not privy to what is happening behind the scenes. But I will make these observations: 1. none of our trades are ever quick or smooth. Other AFL clubs seem to never...

The dogs obviously don’t rank him as they have only offered a future fourth round. I think that’s an insult for a former top ten draftee who has been injured. If he is now over the injuries he is a first 22 player. Saints should not accept a low ball over - I would rather he go to the PSD Spot on. ...

Have Essendon got an unlimited cap?! In Ben McKay - tier 1 Compo (850k) Jade Gresham - tier 1 Zane Duursma Parish just resigned- on plenty Shiel still on a monster deal Zach Merrett on big coin Mason Redman just resigned on big coin Peter Wright on good coin McGrath on good coin Slight point of ord...

Far better footballer than Byrnes who got a heap of games. They play different positions. We're recruiting Henry to play on the wing and Dow to play as a stoppage mid and centre bounce mid. Correct. Henry would be the upgrade on Byrnes. Dow would be an upgrade on Clarke. No he wouldn’t. Dow is simi...

We will still be a middle of the ladder club for a few years yet so there are many teams that could push us back to outside the 8. Our forward line will struggle again as will the midfield, it’s going to take a few years to get those areas of the ground stocked with enough talent to rise up from th...

For me, this Gresham deal will really shine a light on the footy smarts of SoS, Gubby and the off field team. They really shouldn't be accepting anything other than pick 13 as compo. If Essendon aren't paying enough to force a pick 13 compo, we absolutely should match to keep him - and/or force the...

Dow has been good at clearance work and has a better clearance average per game than any of our midfielders this year. Initially, I wasn't sure this was such a good move, but I have warmed to it. Any help we can get at the stoppages is greatly welcomed at this stage. We were destroyed there in 2023...

Chris Scott said… “The worst place to be clearly in today’s competition is the middle of the road because you get nothing.“ Ironically I actually would rather be in Norths position over the next few years than as ours as they will leap frog us now with the AFL assistance. I have felt for some time ...

King for Hayes. Ross for Stocker. Sheesh … didn’t see that coming.

Their list is way superior to ours. Arguably the best list in the AFL.

Don’t disagree. Miles ahead. They’re ready now - we’ve barely started building a proper nucleus.

But they’re coached by Captain Snooze and we’re not.
