Re: The current St Kilda ITK leaks on Big Fish
We need a class key forward to replace Nick, most other spots are well covered, as long as there is a full back in late development stage (Hugh, Lewis). Kelly kicks to a couple of ace forwards in GWS and roves to good rucks. He is of course very good but not worth the farm and GWS will keep him any ...

Player Agents & Incestuous Doings
Found myself watching player agent Paul Connors (Conner Sports) on Open Mike. Besides being impressed with how he has built his business I was struck by the admissions that Agents, Players' Association and AFL Administration are able to orchestrate so much, implying that the level playing field rule...

Re: and moving onto 2018 _ Fixture news
About time for a season where we don't go to Adelaide. Under normal circumstances that would be enough to be able to make the 8.

Re: Successful Season?
Set the bar low and it reduces disappointment 10th or 11th - dussun matter, be bootiful in cupla seasons. Newnes could not have been serious. Attacking system (sic) is woeful and side can't even compete in crunch games - where's the fortius to go with our fidelius. I would be surprised if the Presid...

Re: Out of the Kelly race?
The tea leaves here say Kelly and Martin will stay with current clubs, however Saints will pick up one or more of Harrison Himmelburg, the Adams Kennedy & Tomlinson or less likely Matt Buntine. The mid gun of guns remains unnamed in the draft, but he is there all right.

Re: Theoretically Possible
I am willing to throw in the flying pigs that just settled in the back yard. Still researching the grandmaster frog tennis achievement probability. As a fall back I am hoping the sides going for the eight have taken the odds about the Saints - everyone has a price don't they. Except Kelly. Don't wor...

Re: AFL should suspend Ross Lyon this week
Is it odd that the talk in WA is for the Eagles coach to be sacked, not Freo's. I suspect Ross the Boss will not last long into 2018, he has developed nothing and used up Sandilands and Fyfe and Freo play crap footy. I am guessing he will resign to spend more time with his family rather than wait to...

Stuck in the middle with u - but without Roo
Possibly just maudlin watching Nick today: In 2017, 3 sides passed us on the way up and two on their way down. The upsides have v. good forwards: Daniher, Hogan, Dixon (well he's just ok, but Gray crumbs and mostly he gets the ball delivered.) Saint Kilda does not have a class key forward any more, ...

Re: Is our Match Committee f#%king drunk???
I hope this in line with the thread, more than less, and it draws heavily on hindsight . Last night it struck me that Tom Lynch the red head was a Saints player. I think Membrey is better - but by how much. We (Ross Lyon) let TL leave some time ago rather than develop him. Forgive the sacrilege, but...

Re: Squad v Roos In Roo, Hickey Lonie
Does a selection committee actually convene or is there a set algorithm with fixed forward line and "interchange from" values. Personally I can't wait to find which of Hickey or Lonie won't play. Shirley not both culled, what a shock. Oh, injury concerns, keep the opposition guessing .. cu...

Re: Op Keep Mav Weller
Interesting that Moorabbin town houses have baths, very spacious. Anyway, generally it seems a disadvantage to play one short (# not height) but possibly worse to have a warm body on the field as a net negative contributor particularly if poor kicks, poor handballs and ineffective tackles interspers...

Re: Ok, Serious Coaching Thread

Low hanging fruit: - Alan R will not be on AFL360, will spend more time on individual player coaching and delegate less. - Paddy will be a contender for the Coleman medal (i.e. top 5) - Saints will beat Sydney. (conditional on Billings re-signing) Multi odds are $1.10 x $26 x $6. (I made them up, bu...

Re: The "Meltdown Phenomenon"
I suspect the majority of clubs' supporters react the same way when their team fails as badly as ours has done in 2017 and GPsHeadband's assessment of Sainters/the Saints in general is hard or me to deny. The marketing slogan on the website is building something special that no other club has (no pr...

Re: Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist
All this thread is pretty good stuff from knowledgeable supporters and is demonstrable - what I don't get is why the people employed to coach and prepare appear so unaware (incapable?).

Re: At what point do you cease supporting, and start resenti
On reflection I think the resentment starts about now and morphs to supporting about the time of the 2018 preseason trials. And the cycle more or less repeats.
