I'll be voting if (when) the time comes. Making my judgements on the quality of the individuals involved, their interest in making the St. Kilda FC successful in both off and on field situations. Right now, the only real thing of consequence that i have against the current administration is it's ben...

The only people who get their bags checked are the ones who voulinteer it themselves.

Paid for by the Baker tribunal appeals fee.

Trade Milne for 2nd round pick or a young small forward. yep lets get another small forward who averages a shade under 2 goals a game and 2 goal assists a game or 20% of the teams goals for the past 5 or 6 seasons. Milne won't be around much longer, I'd much rather develop a new forward line withou...

Agreed, and should stay a glamour event imo. The arrangements last year would have been okay if more people were interested in it, but we have found that the regular fan isn't really interested in it.

What would we get for him?

Yep the G train money will be used to sign Kosi, no doubt.

If harves is on less than 350k then he's being underpaid.

The proposed training facility that was shut down by the kingston council was about the only expenditure outside of regular football expenses.

Correct Stinger, but only Harvey was eligible for Veterans listing in 2007.

By putting both of them on the veterans list it will allow us a pretty large salary cap reduction, so we don't feel the squeeze from hamill's contract.

McGregor has oodles of talent, i've no idea why he has gone backwards these past few years. I originally thought he was going to be a gun, almost as good as Riewoldt.

Having harvs and max on the vets list will allow us to only have 4 rookies.

In addition.

Max and Harvs to Veterans List
Leaves us with 1 Rookie in the draft. Unless we promote or delist more rookies.

Keep: Van Rheenen, Wall, Eddy
Promote: Attard (+ put on LTI list), Geary
Delist: Jones.

With the price of paper and ink these days, I would want to do a large blanket coverage of as many kids as I could.

Surely it's not difficult to write a questionaire and send it to potential draftees?

Anyone with a "Diploma of Google Searching" could find one that's relevant. The best ones are licenced to universities and such though, but wouldn't be all that expensive for the Saints to licence.

Playing Riewoldt at FF is a waste of his biggest talent, his ability to run and create. I'd like to see Goddard play the first half of the season across Half Forward, with Riewoldt pushing up a little further. The biggest problem with having Riewoldt on a wing is that he's got no-one to kick to unle...

between plugger and bono, we generally have a good idea of any team changes during the week. There have been a few times when they were off the mark, but track record says to believe more often than not. Plugger in particular offers his own thoughts on quite a few things. Beyond some trivial team ch...

Gwilt is contracted to the end of 2008, for all those calling to Axe him.

Develop him as a marking forward! He is still not a defenders arsehole.

When is the scorps B&F? If there is an event for it, i wouldn't mind going down there. Beyond that It will be great to see how our young sainters do. Stefan Garrubba would have to be hot favourite for it though.

That's amazing. Perhaps our two best performing Rookies were the last two selected.

I don't think that we'll cripple ourselves too much by choosing not to pick Wing/Medium Defenders, or CHF/CHB's. Beyond that it's best available player. I like the idea of developing some quick mids through the rookie system though.

As for Jones, most people seem to be sold on him already, so i'm preaching to the choir. According to finalsiren.com stats on "rising stars", To be eligible players must have played in no more than 50 games before the start of the selected season and must have played in at least 5 games ov...

All I know was what I was told earlier in the year. That Armo was getting a bit ahead of himself and that the club was holding him back until he understood what it took to be an AFL footballer. That sounds about right to me, as to what was being said earlier in the year. Perhaps he was getting caug...

I have a question: Spinner asked a question above - which no one has really talked about. Spinner said "When as the last time the team finishing Last wont recieve the number 1 pick?" What's up with this? I've not heard anything about it. How is the No.1 draft pick being allocated this yea...
