The way some people go on it's as if they're personally affronted. It's seriously pathetic. Take the drivel somewhere else rather than ruining it for everyone else. It's a st kilda fan forum, not the bloody illuminati. If the poster has left I guess I don't blame them but as someone who has been on the forum for a while, although doesn't post much, it would be a serious shame as their info at this time of year is generally excellent and at the very least fun to discuss.
What he said!! - the silent majority firing up :wink:

Thanks for the info. Good to see saints actively doing something to address what cost us a number of games this year and ultimately a slot in the finals.

Jaxons, anything in this? Would Brisbane be interested in swapping pick 1 for 7 and 8?

Trade radio saying we're "in the mix" along with many other clubs for Devon Smith.

2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

Herald Sun article came out at 10.56am this morning regarding Dixon.

Then the author has to actually write the article and have it uploaded on the HS website after getting the details. How long does that take? Around 1-2 hours possibly.

Makes me nervous quite frankly

Last time we got cute with presuming who might go where we got out manouvered by West Coast - ended up losing out on Chris Judd. For all we know Rayner (or our target) may well get picked before our pick.prefer to Use one of Pick 7 & 8 on best available, and hang the other one out for trade bait with GWS and lure 1 or 2 of their young Vic guns home.

I know that he has strong ties to Langwarrin, but why would he be coming to Seaford, when he has nominated Geelong?
