Its all academic now anyway, the money is spent so lets get behind the new guys

Apologies guys, just a typo. More importantly I am looking forward to about July of next year. We should hopefully be firing by then and we will know who were good pick ups and who weren't.

King will have a few games in him by then, maybe bytel and who knows maybe we are in the hunt for finals at that stage

Not the first time a punter on here has confused Jones' name.

Reminds me of when we recruited, Smith, Jones and Brown all in the one draft. :wink:

A nice change from all of the Jacks we've recruited.

Mind you one of those Jacks has jacked off.

Apologies if anyone is offended.

We really are a beneficiary of the salary cap system this time. We've partly paid for it with sh#tty fixturing and terrible stadium deals over the years - that's how I justify it, but if we can't make something happen now..geez., I guess we'll still be good old St Kilda.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Saynta,

when referring to those guys (Smith, Jones and Brown) back in the day, I used to call them collectively

The Accountants.
