Good write up Now rate Dunstan’s career in comparison Dunstan started fairly well and promised a bit... about three years in it became evident that he couldn’t run out games and went missing for quarters and halves at a time. Had a couple of instances where he strung 3-4 good to excellent games tog...

What do we need to make top 4 next year? 1. Trade in a competitive ruckman/forward. 2. Trade or draft outside speed and skills. (20 games from Hannebrey would be terrific) 3. A big preseason to hit the season flying. (Be much fitter than we were at the start of this year) 4. Some luck with injuries...

Whatever opinion you have about GT he is likely the of the most loyal Saints ever. I was told back on those days by some people who were more than ITK... He broke Barkers nose after finding TB in a very compromising position with GT,s then Fiancée on a bench press in St Kilda gym. GT was given his ...

Dunstan has played his last game in the red white and black.

It looks a likely scenario but I believe the club is looking for younger solutions to fill the CHB position.

Small Forwards for me in 2022 will be Higgins, Butler and Gresham relieving playing parts of the game there. Back up: Long as a year on his contract so he is an option. The 2 Uncontracted: Lonie- he is finished- is not fast & is not strong or nuggety & easily brushed off. I expect him to be ...

Again that era of 1991-92 derailed by a lack of money in key times to get what we needed to win a flag. We were 1 key backman short in 92 we were offered Tony Campbell who did quite well against Plugger but we couldnt afford him and he went to the Bulldogs. Players like Adrian Fletcher & Dale K...

Very happy with what I saw. 193 cm moves well, nice and clean hands and got a simple clean kicking style as well. I assess players for the last 2 weeks of September thats what the club promises that they work to achieve every day. a 2nd Premiership. I am on record with my opinion on Membrey, not a h...

Yes identified already in the media

Problem with Billings he thinks he is still elite due to his Pick 3 status that is long gone. Got very good mail he wanted 700 & another club that showed interest said "thanks but no thanks.' He will get a reality check on his 2021 currency and will pull his head in to 400 -500 mark where h...

Another good story Mckenzie was a terrible half back he has a few attributes: Strong for his size strong runner courageous determined & combative' Lacks class and polish , cant defend 1 v1 but more suited to midfield he has stepped up and has 1 year left on his contract. He has a year to show he...

Why is Bytel out?
I have a theory.
One of Billings Ross or Dunstan will leave.
Dunstan’s currency gone up they keep playing him to get a compensation end of year.
Bytel will play next year.
The dynamics between Dunstan/ manager and the coaching staff don’t look overly healthy.

They won’t be able to field a time the next 50 years as they are now an academic school.

Amazing how the past month can changed the past and rewrite history. Dunstan and McKenzie were both struggling footballers for several years in a time of their career where they should have been flourishing. The past month has been fantastic and every Saints supporter should be ecstatic as these 2 a...

Plugger is the awesome legendary football freak of all time. You want to rate Plugger think of 2 games- 1989 Vic game alongside Dunstall 1995 Vic game alongside Ablett Snr Both times he was the star that day he made the others look almost like a sidekick. He needed half the chances they did to score...

A credit to anyone that gets BOG in an AFL match especially against a recent power house he has not been able to perform against strong clubs in the past. I was out last night didn’t see the game but I have read his engines have improved he can run out games better than before it wasn’t just his lac...

This years draft has quality mids we need to go back to the draft with our low pick . Ben King comes out of contract end of next year and we can try and prise him away then I know he wants to come home it’s only a matter of time.

Some good points there his football performance has been very poor agreed.

Highmore is an excellent intercept mark and is courageous.
He has some ability give the boy a go.

A few long bows being drawn in the OP. Football is a job, and family is more important than work. If I went to my employer tomorrow and said I need 2 weeks off for family reasons, they'd say "no worries, is 2 weeks enough?" Also forcing someone to do something they don't want isn't the be...

Wilson is a bitch, and a known St Kilda basher. Why the f*** would you want to side with her. Any chance of you debating the subject intelligently and not being over emotional and attacking the person and calling her names? This issue has hurt our club considerably of recent times and is a highly s...

Good post as always Skeptic and a few other replies made some good points. We are so bad at the moment the real intelligent hard core posters are dissecting the situation and the cheerleaders have disappeared. The “ you are not a real supporter if you don’t blindly cheer mediocrity” types in here ev...

Agree he should play backline he played his best footy there in 2019.
