Sloane would be the wrong fit for us. Yes he would improve us but not enough for finals and then he is gone. Plus he wont be coming back for money reason so why play for us? The only thing we have going for us is our bank account.

Moot thread for mine. He isn't coming here so it doesn't matter how good he would be. De Gooey would be a better fit as we could lock him in for the best part of his career, not the tail end

What do most players want? Premierships
We wont win one is his time left so he wont come to us.
I would imagine a lot of players would look at how Ablett went , big money wasn't enough.

No good at all.

Seriously who the f*** is pulling the reigns.
Agree. Will be 30 years old and banged up like Hamill when he came across. Zero point.
Gaff however or DeGoey....no problem paying overs.


Nee!

Id be throwing the kitchen sink at he McG bros. They would give us plenty. JMc and Carlise combo would be formidable and MMc has plenty to offer up forward. They would straighten us right up.

Sweet Jesus.
parkeysaint claims we are 'front runners' for pretty much everyone.

Weren't we frontrunner for McGovern a few weeks back? Seriously dude. Just give it a rest. No more 'whispers'. They all turn out wrong.

Good call. We are into both now.

sadly have to admit if i were given a choice of victorian clubs to go to and i wasn't a mad saints fan, st kilda would be near the bottom of my list - just ahead of north and the doggies. maybe below them under the current coaching staff.

How did we get all those players back in 2000 when we were bottom of the ladder? Was it just that the players like Hamill, Gehrig, et al wanted to be coached by Blight?

Back in those days Blight was considered a guru.

Sounds similar to a course run by some dubious mob called Landmark, who were a front for the Church of Scientology. Gee, we worry about our Leaders, what an act of dickheadry by the Adelaide FC. Looks like they've lost Betts (spiritually) and McGovern.

98% of what you have read about that camp is inaccurate. Nothing at all like Landmark. Amazing how inaccuracy and sensationalising compounds on itself without bearing any resemblance to actual facts. McGovern’s desire to change has nothing to do with their preseason training ....

The only players we would be able to poach are the blokes chasing the money.

So the McGovern's ARE a possibility. Just pay massive overs and they may close their eyes and sign on.

We wont be front runners for anyone. We are a dead set rabble.

To be honest we are lucky that there is a draft so we can hold a few kids captive.

It's like we've got a fake Tinder profile picture.

We're front runners for everyone, until they actually meet us.

Problem with Sloane if we got him and I cant see it, is that he would be tagged heavily from day 1 and it is well known he cant get kicks while being tagged. Be hanging him out to dry.

Yep. We were definitely the frontrunners at one point around that time and then Hawthorn took over. Sloane was coming to Melbourne but did a U turn. Even Caroline Wilson thought he was done at Adelaide.

Pretty normal stuff.

I think Adelaide were always the front runners.
We just get used to maximise the players contract.

Don't like info I hear and get told then don't read my posts or block me. I couldn't care less. Again, its pretty simple for a grown adult to adhere to.

It’s funny. We’re always frontrunners at some point...


Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

Not always. Lynch isn't a chance of going to the Saints for example. Same as Gaff.
