I'd expect us to lose multiple uncontracted players over the next fortnight...we may get Ray but lose others...Zac may be just first cab off the rank...

Precisely, Loris, precisely.

I remember when Plugger walked out on us at the end of 1994 and I thought that was the end of my short-mid term dream of seeing the Saints in a GF and yet we did it just 3 yrs later!

O I am in total agreement with this point.

That running streak of 19 to start the 2009 season is so incredibly rare...in fact no other St Kilda team has ever got close to that in the team's history.

Dream on for sure (We'd all love it of course) but don't get too cocky!

I think they need to focus on key position spine players (eg that Tommy Walsh was being groomed for). Another ruckman is also crucial.

Could we get scientists to clone BJ so he can be a half back sweeper and explosive forward target.

George Young was the WA recruitment officer for St Kilda for some time...does anyone know if he's still got that role?

Winmar has been the stand out...without peer.

"A highlight for St Kilda is the retention of the Monday night seventh round clash against Carlton at Etihad Stadium following Mothers’ Day on May 14. " This quote from the St K F C website surprised me. Since when is that game a highlight? I find Monday night is a bloody lowlight: only...

I totally agree with everyone else's comments re Xavier. Apart from his undoubted talent on the footy field, he was a great bloke and did wonderful welfare work for local Kooris. Given that, it may be worth trying to get him back to the club to be an (indigenous) development officer- to help out Ter...

as for gws - will be absolutely buggered by the penultimate round - we can rest a few in preparation for the finals.

Now isn't this being a tad cocky? Already pencilled in for a finals berth?

I'm surprised Archer was not in that list...and what of all the more mature aged players? Are we going to hold onto all of them? Seems odd to me... on several fronts.

Errrr, make that CHB!

B: Gwilt, Dawson, Dempster HB: Gilbert, Blake, Fisher C: Montagna, Hayes, Goddard HF: Schneider, Riewoldt, Siposs F: Milne, Koschitzke, Saad Foll: McEvoy, Dal Santo, Steven Int: Armitage, Ledger, Ray, Peake Blake at CHF? Mate, you've got to be joking! Blake is too slow, very ordinary disposal by fo...

I agree that the highlight of the night was the Cowboy tribute and the accompanying 60's track was great.

Why don't you ring the club and speak to someone within event management who would have all that info at their fingertips? And share the artist and song with us all!

I think you're missing the point here: it's not about Robert Harvey and whether he's having a sulk...look at the wider issue. It's about the club and the way the place operates...clearly, something is not right. Yes, assistant coaches come and go but that does not explain Ross Lyon's abrupt departur...

So the defections continue...sooner or later, the club has to accept some responsibility for these mass walk outs. Whilst I'm not saying that Harvey should have been appointed coach, I do believe he was treated shabbily...why on earth did St Kilda appoint him caretaker coach and raise his hopes? Thi...

I reckon Tommy was bloody stiff not to get a senior game this year. Wasn't he named as an emergency about 5-6 times?

He's a great bloke with an exceptional physique for footy and it's just a shame he'll strut his stuff elsewhere.

Apparently Terry's brother, Tim, also played for Port in the SANFL and then was on the Crows' list but was delisted by Adelaide as he wasn't prepared to put in the type of professionalism required for the AFL. Hopefully, Terry will be a different story.

I don't believe the post here re The Age. The Age has been a sponsor of the club for several years now and it only makes sense that they write articles about them. As far as I can tell, they are merely reporting what is...no slants or agendas...you have to get used to the fact that St Kilda - regard...

To back up what some have said earlier in this post, there have been some comments allegedly made by former Subiaco players who claim that compared to Scott Watters that Peter German was by far the better coach.

As always, time will tell whether the club has made the right choice...

Yes, I was surprised that they re-signed Winmar for 2 yrs on the basis of some pretty average senior games...

I think this is calm before the storm...wait for the delistings to start...Archer will be one of them...and maybe some higher profile guys too...

I still reckon Goddard is the go for stints at FF. I'd rotate him between there, in the midfield and as a sweeper down back.

Goddard is the undoubted standout. He's our best since Winmar. Goddard's field kicking is on par with Nathan Buckley's.

To be honest, after losing the 09 GF, I thought we had blown our chance at the flag. It was, after all, close to the perfect year. This year the club really surprised me with their resilience against adversity. Now, I feel like I did this time last year...that they have blown their chances. Perhaps,...
