Perhaps Higgins and Gresham could rotate through the middle and rest up forward.

Back in the day the 2nd rover usually played in the forward pocket and swapped with the 1st rover when he needed a rest. Gresham has demonstrated impact in the middle and also in front of goal, but for whatever reason his body or fitness doesn't suit a full time midfield role. When we recruited Higg...

Not so sure we're bad at recruiting rucks, we got rid of both of this years GF rucks in Stanley and Hickey as well as the Hawthorn captain and premership ruckman McEvoy.

Perhaps we're just bad at recognizing a capable ruckman.

Wow Saynta, you really know how to hold a grudge Yep, never forget and never forgive. Maybe if he gets us our second flag before I depart this world I might relent. Just a tad. Anyway , he owes us one. I'm with you Santya, hopefully Lyon will prove me wrong. I'd be delighted to have Banger back at ...

Prefer not

If Nick Riewoldt put his hand up to coach I'd be willing to give him a crack, especially if we could some good assistants.

He wouldn't be worse than our last few coaches, and likely better for our culture than many of the candidates being discussed.

Is he off meth?

Nah, lets get Wayne Carey

Well this St Kilda fan doesn't love Ross Lyon

Good post Scallop, I'm definitely not a Lyon fan either. It was my understanding that Ratten's contract was to the end of 2022, but some genius decided to extend it by another 2 years around the mid season break. Personally I was happy to allow the original contract to expire at the end of 2022 and ...

There were plenty of ordinary players changing clubs, and I'm glad we kept Hunter Clark. Of the ordinary players, I would've been happy to pick up Acres and Weideman assuming the price was right. Grundy would have been interesting, but 5 years at $1m, even with Collingwood paying $300k, humm...borde...

Is this the same Walsh that was chased out of Collingwood for the monumental screw-up of player contracts that have resulted in the loss of Grundy, Trelour and Stevenson?

I would've been pleased to get Weideman.

Jason Blake has been traded to Carlton. Does anyone think we should tried to get him back? For a future 3rd round pick, I would have said yes. Sorry, brain fade, Blake Acres. Adding Blake to the Blues midfield is a massive leg up for them especially if he can consistently deliver some of his best f...

....and how much should the CEO of the AFL get paid, plus the other 1,400 paid staff of the AFL?

Perhaps I'm a sick puppy, but I was hoping they'd appoint Hird. Not because I think he'd be any good, rather so I could belly-laugh at their stupidity.

The First Nations families who have made allegations against ex-Hawthorn coaches have serious reservations about being interviewed as part of an independent investigation into the claims. An independent investigation or an AFL investigation? The only investigation I will trust is in a court of law....

From what I've read, the allegations are a very serious case of work place bullying. This must be illegal and should be tried in the court. In a court of law those involved will be required to provide sworn (or un-sworn) evidence. It will probably be ugly. But the facts will most likely be exposed. ...

The AFLW teams would probably struggle against the Oakleigh Chargers.

But simply by having the AFLW the AFL were able to negotiate impressive broadcast deal.

Gee, I'm pretty disappointed if this is the highlight of our off season. He's not good enough to play for Geelong.

NFI and IDGAF

I'd probably watch our under 19 team if they were on TV

The girls are doing well.

Commentators suck though, they're definitely barracking for Sydney.

Selection integrity is important for culture at a football club, and sadly I believe St Kilda has compromised it's integrity quite frequently this year.

.....that was underwhelming...a couple a mediocre teams...
