Re: Dunstan

Sorrry but no: all relevant stats, shepherds, pressure acts etc are tabulated obssessively. You won't get too much support for your Dunstan plug until, at the very least, he learns how to kick. His endeavour is first class but his skills are well behind.

Re: Why do people want to trade Longer?

He was poor for most of last year. He has a poor leap, average technique and didn't give us first use. Round the ground at the drop he was even worse. He can't find the ball on the ground and when he does his disposal is average at best. He couldn't take a mark forward or back and is too slow. His o...

Re: JACK STEELE!!

Delusional. Think you'll find that other clubs in the bottom half of the 8 have indicated their preparedness to trade their first pick for him and a pick between 30 and 40. I'd be happy with this year's first round pick and next year's first round pick for Steele and Marchbank and a single 18-22 pic...

Re: Billy Longer and Lewis Pierce two year extensions

Winmar wrote:Is there no restriction on trading someone within 12 months of signing a contract? I thought there was, but maybe I'm thinking of clubs selling players in the EPL. Or I could just be wrong entirely.
Given the player has to agree to the trade if they're contracted, there is no restriction.

Re: Any interest in Will Hoskin-Elliott?

He is quick and he's great overhead but not really a midfielder. He's played all his best footy, to some degree, in front of the ball. Unfortunately we will not secure him with a third round pick alone and therefore it would have to involve one of the usual scenarios... exchange of picks, multi-club...

Re: Best game from a St Kilda ruckman for decades

We're not good enough to afford the luxury of playing two ruckmen. I can see Pierce turning out once or twice again this season but he has a long long way to go to get any sort of spot. His only real asset is his aggression, although he is getting much better at positioning himself. After 4 seasons ...

Completes a great quinella for the week with shelving our stand-alone VFL team.

In the meantime, like every other St Kilda supporter, I'll just have to find anot...

Re: Saints v Blues match thread

Extraordinary effort by the boys. They looked done at the end of that half. So tough when 8 or 10, if they get the ball in space cannot find a team mate by foot.
If only either of Ross or Duncan could kick.

Re: Changes v Blues Rd 12

Not sure whether it's been raised here but you'd think that there would be some chance that Holmes would come in and allow Hickey to rest up forward. Equally I wouldn't be surprised to see Bruce go back for two or three games until our KPD's return. If that happens I'd expect that we would set up sm...

Re: Changes v Blues Rd 12

Agree 100% with that. What I can't work out is why theg sent him back when he can't and doesn't defend and he's slow. He only comes in if Roberton is out.

Well, I just reckon Richo hasn't got a clue, can't think out of the box and seems welded to whatever wobbly game plan he may have.

Whatever happens we have to add some pace. We are rivalling Collingwood as the slowest side in the comp at the moment. Lonie should come back in and so should Templeton who has the added advantage of playing midfield. We can't keep playing Armitage, Dunstan and Ross in the middle together. Being phy...

Re: Blues, Saints target key Giants defender

Unlike others I was happy with trading down our pick last year. Again this year there are many academy players we cant't get in the top 20. I'd be v happy to get Marchbank and slip a place or 5. Carlton will not be trading pick 3,4 or 5 for him.
