Who is using 4th round picks anyway? St Kilda's 4th round pick this year is in the hands of Gold Coast It is presently pick 74, the first pick to be valued at ZERO points. It can't even be used to queue jump for Northern Academy or Father-Son selections. Exchanging 4th round picks is like the recru...

I cheered for Luke Ball when he played for St Kilda especially when he kicked a rare goal. I cheered for Jade Gresham when he played for St Kilda especially when he kicked a more frequent goal. Then I booed Luke Ball when he played for Collingwood. But am I allowed to boo Jade Gresham when he plays ...

FWIW I have no issue with any player chasing money. They have a limited time in the game and the opportunity to earn reasonable cash when at the top of their powers. Most AFL players don't make exorbitant money after they retire. But we studied ASX listed company Johns Lyng Group Ltd (JLG) in the l...

As I have contributed previously, I am aware that after a season in which Coffield finished in the Top 10, he lost influence the following season with the Coach "calling him in" to advise that more run and carry was required ("use your legs"). To his credit, Coffield improved th...

Pick 21 but that will slide out a few to mid 20s as there will be the odd father son but there are expected to be a number of Northern Zone academy picks that CAN be matched inside the top 20 (Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sydney & GWS). The rules are different for other club academies. Gold Coast poten...

At present compensation for Gresham would be Mid 1st round = pick14 End 1st round = pick21 Mid 2nd round = pick 35 End 2nd round = pick 41 Mid 3rd round = pick 56 End 3rd round = pick 62 Mid 4th round = pick 74 Saints have picks 13, 34, 55 not much currency without using future 2024 picks. But Coffi...

Make the Dogs coff up.
Late first round or their future 2024 first rounder.

Plenty of trade discussion going elsewhere - Threads on Gresham, Shiel, etc. but no general trade discussion thread. Currently we hold: Picks 12, 32, 51 The media has thrown the idea out there for a Clayton Oliver trade, and has stated "no clubs have shown interest, Oliver hasn't shown interes...

Ratten loved him, but Ratten has left North and maybe is giving away coaching.
If Ratten goes elsewhere that is where JB may go because Lyon does not want him.

Had the talent but not the application and dedication of a Bontempelli.

We were linked to him but has picked Sydney. Is FA so therefore Gresham compensation isn't compromised Oh yes it would be. Only a delisted free agent does not compromise compensation that is because the former club no longer owns the player having delisted him. If St kilda wants a compensation pick...

I would much prefer to see St Kilda keep whatever compensation the league offers for Gresham Then swap picks 12 and 31 for Essendons first round pick 8 and Shiel Values Shiel around pick 47 mid 3rd round. He doesn't have many years left and he is beyond his best. Then see if St Kilda can grab Gold C...

Ben Horsley says he's joining our club.

Working with Alex Sakadjian.

I know a guy on twitter who's a very keen sprinter and competes at a decent level.
I asked him if he's heard of Horsey

Does he run like a Horse.

Ths is the craziest trade proposal ive ever heard.. No way on earth would we give up Gresh AND pick 13 for Shiel. Surely they give us an extra pick if anything. Andwhay do we care what compo pick we get if we just giving it back anyway, as if Essendon complain whatever pick it was.. And then we als...

Just need to make videos of St Kilda players and opposition players then screen them in quick random order. Then require the mid fielders to identify friend or foe. After a few months they might get most of them right. Then you can try speeding it up. Those incapable of identifying friend or foe by ...

I just read on Cal Toomey post that we are doing exactly that giving Essendon Gresham his compensation pick and we get shiel and pay his wages what a bloody stupid deal. Why are we so intent on getting a lot of older past there prime players and either delisting or trading ones who are younger. Tha...

St Kilda needs to ensure Gresham only goes (or stays) as a free agent. That way St Kilda get a draft compensation pick. If Shiel is also given as free agent that draft compensation is lost. So St Kilda must trade for Shiel but trading away a good pick for Shiel is stupid. I thought trading a first r...

Didn't work for us before, and there won't be preferential treatment like we got in the early 00s anymore. almost did,and don't kid yourself, we wouldn't have ever got into those GFs without the preferential treatment. And don't kid your self Geelong would have made it to those Grand Finals if they...

This compensation is a disgrace for a self inflicted wound. If anything they should be made to trade them because they need an immediate injection of talent not a speculative selction so they can get a player that would potentially walk out after two years. The two end of first round draft future p...

I think I'm asking the broader philosophical question in relation to much of the modern capitalist life we are born into, even if we want our children to take the simpler life is it really possible, and is the life one choses going to need the support of many other humans such as mental health expe...

I'm really not interested in Dow, not the player we need Well it sounds like he is coming anyway. Dow is so much like Billings. Both taken at number 3 in the draft based on skills but never became the stars they should. Billings has played comfortably to be in the best 22 but never said to himself ...
