St Kilda will not make the finals.

St Kilda must build for the future.

St Kilda has beaten 1 top 8 team.

2 wins against 18th
1 win against 16th
1 win against 14th
1 win against 10th
1 win against 2nd (Lenny's 250th) could've been a factor.

Correct. Lets start working on our next premiership team.
Watters should make the tough calls on Blake, Milne, Clarke and Gram.
Also Joey and BJ should be trade bait.

that surprised me also....I mean FFS this side is going nowhere with the same old faces...sure, dont rid them all.....so maybe hes kept the "cheaper" Joey option with a view to off loading the dearer Goddard...

he could still trade players that he re-signs.

however, if we get joey on the cheap for another 1 year deal then i have no problem with it. reality is we need another couple of ledger, ross, cripps to step up and play regular senior football (I.e. dont miss matches), before we can let montagna go.

Thats why Ive been bitching bout Ledger not getting a run - FFS sure, he can turn it over but he is quick, wins his own ball and showed more at tfhis level than all the kids we'd seen thus far IMO - time to find out.

IF we are going to go anywhere then we need a deep midfield - Ledger HAS to be part of those rotations soon.

It would kill the spirit of the club to do what you huys are proposing. Hang in there for gods sakes

Poor Lenny as hard as he tries he cannot win a game on his own.

Nor can he rely on his teamates to help out when they go missing eg JASON GRAM I'm talking to you.

Our so called name players are the main ones letting us down-Dal, Goddard, Rooey in no particular order.

And in terms of "don't come to me with your problem, come to me with your solution" I'm stumped as to our future direction.

I predicted a bottom 4 finish for us at the start of the season and up until the last few weeks I was starting to think I was wrong and that we will finish a little higher maybe even as high as 8th. Thoses stats suggest I'm right. If they beat the Dons, I'll go back to thinking 8th or 9th is still possible.

What a load of crap, Dal almost single handedly carried our midfield last year in Lenny's absence and has continued the good form this year, Roo has given every drop of blood and sweat he has for this club, and BJ works his arse off in every single game. Against Nth, we were down to 2 rotations from the 15 minute mark in the 3rd quarter so we were always going to run out of legs, plus we lack 2 tall defenders and a second ruckman.

We can only beat who we are up against.

We have won 2 out of 5 when playing against sides that were in the top 8 when we played them (Carlton were premiership favorite or close to it when we beat them).

Having said that, it's not looking good. :(


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
