I found this article very interesting. A $1.45 million debt in the early 1980s was a huge sum of money. No wonder we couldn't win a game back then. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/finally-saints-look-to-recognise-the-men-who-saved-the-club-20170310-guvfl8.html Without doubt the darkest time in...

Cheers. Thanks for that.
That is disappointing.

Is Brandon White injured?
Thought he would be pushing senior selection again.

As much as I love Dal Santo, we have Webster, White and Rice who should be played in front of him.
Can't have Dempster, Fisher, Montagna and Dal Santo down back as all over 30.

What Plugger being undisciplined and overweight was a positive Come on If he understood that work rate was the only way he could ever reach his potential .... If he was taught that by a great mentor He would have achieved the ultimate success, because with that belief comes an inner calm and a perf...

Fox put more money into Carlton than he did St Kilda.
Be very interested to see if he is there on Saturday night.

We need some big midfielders.
Game is like rugby now as holding the ball rule has gone.
Therefore need big midfielders who just keep breaking tackles.
Wonder what Stephen Dank is doing over the offseason.

Do the umpires come from WA or are they from around the country.
I don't think the umpires cheat but clearly they are getting carried away with the crowd.

Was impressed with Lee yesterday. Good user of the ball and played more of a Dempster role than a key position which were held by Delany and Brown. Not big enough to be a key back but could make it taking the oppositions 2nd or 3rd tall. Given Dempsters age, Lee might be a good replacement for him. ...

The other poster is me and he has no official role at the saints and he is involved with Saints players the same as he is involved with WB players. I have no idea if you know him or not but what I have said is fact and it is straight from Lenny.[/quote]


No disagreement from me.

He won the Ron Evans Scholarship which is a 12 month role encompassing all levels within of the AFL. Great opportunity for him as includes everything from player development and welfare to commercial operations. Not sure which way he will go at the end of the year but would be very surprised if he d...

He works at the AFL and is very highly regarded.
In his role he regularly works with players from all clubs including St Kilda.

No change.

Membrey for Roo if he isn't right.

Don't be surprised if Billings is out for a while.
Have been told it is a stress fracture so depends on severity of it.

Last week Hawthorn had Ceglar and Hale.
Week before Brisbane had Martin and Leuenberger.
Tonight Geeling have Blicavs and Stanley.
Port usually have Lobbe and Ryder.

The physicality of Longer has been what has impressed me. For a guy who has just turned 22 he has been ultra impressive. Can see him developing into a Mumford type which is exactly what our midfield will need in a few years time when we are ready to challenge. Rucking against guys years older and mu...

Amazed that people want to see Longer dropped.
To me, he has been the biggest positive of the season so far.
He looks like he will be our number 1 ruck for many years to come.

apparently Tom Bell trained at Carlton yesterday.

Thanks Stinger.
Appreciate it.
Before my time but seems amazing our "greatest ever" player was swapped for a guy that lasted 2 weeks.

I have been trying to find info on the Stewart Barrott swap.
Why did Barrott only play two games at St kilda?
Kicked 3 in his first game and was gone 2 weeks later.
Could have been handy in the 71 grand final.

Meanwhile Stewart went on the win another flag and Brownlow.

What is the status of Jack Steven? Is he still a free agent next year?
If so do we look at trading him now rather than risk losing him next year as a free agent?
Free agency is a huge risk to clubs now and any player who doesn't extend contract early must be considered a risk.

WOW - thats a massive wrap Plugger!! Do you know if the club is seriously looking into going after him? It sounds like he wont come cheap, but you reckon might be worth our 1st pick? I know nothing at all but i do know this guy can play. We wont get him but i would trade pick one in a heartbeat. Th...
