I think we will finish above the Eagles.
So I think we should go hard for Gaff.

If the Saints got either of Gaff, McGovern or Sloane I would be happy.

Even Libba and Dalhouse wouldn't be bad pickups but whispers tell me those blokes are somewhat party boys.

If Libya or Dalhous are interested in coming to the club, hopefully they’ve settled down a bit and gotten that early 20’s ‘party hard’ mentality out of their system.

Partied all the way to a premiership too! It's not that they wouldn't like to be in a successful crossword group or anything, and I'm certainly not suggesting there's anything wrong with that

Just get the best people to get it done...premiership history is littered with party boys


St. Kilda Football Club. Going strong, since 1960 :wink:

No. I live in Melbourne.

Just passing on what I hear Big Con G. I will start using scuttlebutt from now on as a synonym for whispers.

Both players didn’t get contracts renewed because they are on watch.

Think it might have to do with accusations of bullying against player who took some time off last year for mental health issues.

The poor boy! :roll:

I'd happily take $1 million a year to be 'bullied' by a bloke a fraction of my size.







(Though maybe Libba' is a nasty Dinsdale Piranha type? Knows all the tricks? Uses sarcasm...? )

That went well.

Also shows i was wildly optimistic about us in March (who isnt?) - we hadnt played a game at that stage...
And I was wildly pessimistic about the Eagles (long way away over there)....

To be honest I thought we would finish about 10th and the Eagles 12th.

So I was bloody way off with the Eagles. They are the surprise side of the year. Amazingly they have had 7 debutants this season. What an incredible performance. Hats off to them.

We will go back to being in front of Melbourne this year too. A bit of luck and we could do anything this next couple of years :D
Just need GT back as coach!

Pretty much. He is highly regarded in AFL circles just like your mates in Finnis, Lethlean and Bains.

Sloane would be a great 2nd Ruck and as for poor old McGovern, well Richo would f*** his career up as well.
