Very interesting Drake. I give our management more credit than others. In fact I'm happy they're running the show and not forum fans. I'd be very happy paying Sloane that even at 29 yo. Ok he hasn't handled hard tags the best but by the time we're challenging we may have too many A graders to tag. I...

Thanks for the original info Bratty. Thanks to you we were able to get along to the Geelong part of the tour and have just arrived home. We thoroughly enjoyed it. It was the first chance to hear Nick speak in a relaxed atmosphere. He certainly wears his heart on his sleeve and is brutally honest. Hi...

I've been a member for 50+ years and get an invitation to presentations by the club. Richo and Finnis explaining where we're at and where we're going. The past few years I've received a certificate personally signed by Matt Finnis In Appreciation of my years of membership. I don't expect anything o...

Is "no finals" directly attributed to Baines ?
I'd doubt it.

He's highly regarded enough for the Dogs to seek him out as CEO.

What would the remuneration difference between what Baines was getting with us and the CEO of the dogs be ? I have no idea but I reckon Peter Summers would know. So, Baines is so highly regarded by so many and yet we don't see fit to pay him above award and keep him on ? I think to be successful as ...

Thanks for your help once again Bratty.
Our book is on the way and we have our tickets to meet Nick at the Geelong Library.
If any Saintsational members are going to be there, say g'day
Dr Spaceman ?

Has someone explained to King that we effectively got Carlisle AND Gresham for pick 5? Or does that still not register in the 4 neurons he possesses in that nest of vipers he calls a brain? He has had it explained to him ad finitum. I reckon he does get it but it doesn't suit his version of the sto...

He'll play with Geelong next year for sure. That's my opinion only but living down this way and knowing the workings there I'm certain of it. They are desperate (while appearing to be indifferent to the chances of it happening, yeah right !) to get him back. Once he's back watch his output go throug...

Sign Kim Jong Un as No.1 ticket holder.

18 holes in one in a single round has got to get people's attention

I'd never heard this guy's name, let alone watched him play. Can someone answer: - can he kick? - is he a good one-on-one player? Thanks. Watch some GWS games and you'll be impressed. He looks a player to me. Best description I can think of is another version of Roberton but probably a stronger con...

Thanks Jaxons. I'd be very happy if we could score Haynes. Most premiership sides are based around a rock solid defence. I don't see Brown as the answer in a flag winning side. The big full forward is fading fast. Dangerfield caused havoc vs Sydney. If the gorilla full forward is not the future (Haw...

Rest easy Sainter Dad. Have faith in Ameet. You can't buy what's not for sale. We gave it our best shot but in the end those targetted were never going. Trust in our judgement that we will get/trade or draft the best possible for the BIG picture. There is a plan. We are a small fish club and these t...

Ask any Swans fan what they think of us looking at Tippett.
After they stop laughing and ask if you're serious you may get the heart to heart talk.
I know some and they do not speak highly. Not hard to see the reasoning.

NO THANKS. Are we aiming for glory or mediocrity ?

Thanks for the post GPHB. It's great to get some background on draft hopefuls. I will be keeping an eye out for Nathan. Now we did have some luck with a previous draftee. Similar cricket/AFL skills. Same sport code choices. He went on to be our games record holder and dual Brownlow medalist. Maybe e...

Why not keep Armo ! I think there's just as much there in the bank as Rockliff. He's not the one to chuck a bucket of money at. Armo's body is shot. Rocky won't cost a bucket of money! If Armo's body is shot we aren't going to be able to trade him. He's contracted for next year so we may as well se...

Argee 100%

Throw cash at someone younger please.

I think Tom Lynch from GC would be a more realistic target.
Add him to our forwardline and we'd be looking good there.

Kelly and Lynch would be good trade period Ameet

My clan and I are in too. Right behind you Jiggster.
Who knows ? Maybe we can have another beer in the Victory room in 2018

He has nominated the injectors or the Cats as his preferred destination.
Injectors have pick 11.
Llyod reckons 11 is too much for him. lol

Let's hope the deal can be done! I am thinking that it is going to cost us: 2 x First Rounders (Hawks and next years) 1 x 2nd Rounder (next years) to land Josh Kelly Lachie Whitfield Would people do this? I think next year's second is already gone to GWS for Steele. I'd do anything we could to land...

I'd be disappointed if we delisted Savage. I think there's plenty enough ahead of him.
We're not flushed with running half backs.He provides that, experience and a great boot at goal from a long way out. Players look to give off to him for that reason.

We also enter 2018 with the greatest wad of cash and draft picks the club has ever had !
With Nick and possibly Monty retiring it opens up even more cash.
We could bring in half a dozen seriosly good footballers.
A very close inspection of our current list is required.
We have to get ruthless.

I'll find you Dave. You sorta stand out

Going ok for an old fellah thanks. Dave, we will be in the Victory Room after the game for sure. I'll look out for you there. It will be great to catch up and have a beer. You been a staunch supporter of our club. That goes without saying though as you are a StKFC member. They are of a particular ch...
