Spot on, I would still rate him as the best player available.

Yep, that's what I've been hearing as well.....inconsistent effort.....I'm sure he'll get the support he needs to make sure he gives his all 100% of the time for the mighty red white and black.

Not sure which players have been earmarked by Tony Elshaug and Ameet Bains for picks 21/22 but I've had a look at a couple of highlight reels for Tom Lamb and seriously this guy could be anything :lol: Who said there's no room for sentiment in footy? His grandfather Ian Cooper was a Saints champ and...

I picked this.......just call me Nostradamus!

I see him as more of an option up forward, we've got more than enough ruckmen - looking forward to seeing how Lewie Pierce comes on next year - think he'll be a good 'un.

Hi Guys, Not sure if this has been raised already but how about the prospect of bringing in Shaun McKernan from Adelaide with a view to possibly having a ready made replacement for Rhys Stanley. Not sure that he's as good as Rhys is (on a good day) but might be worth considering if we can get him fo...

This conjecture about who we should be picking up as the number one draft pick is making me very nervous. I haven't seen many of these top 10 hopefuls play but people that are in the know are saying that Petracca is the best player in the draft by a fair margin and so given that and also given the f...

Sandy is definitely red, white & black. Eddie was it again though.......at one stage he said something along the lines of 'how can these guys expect to get a priority pick when they're going to knock off the second placed team'. Eddie, please leave your Collingwood Prez hat at home when you're c...

Love the Sav........the Hawthorn trade looks better and better every week....we must be in front on that one right now without a doubt.

Really annoying little t**d, too much ego for mine and has not proven himself at this level yet. You'd have to have rocks in your head to offer him $2.5M over 5 years. Can't believe he got a rising star nomination this week off a game where he racked up the grand tally of 9 disposals (his average fo...

Not a good sign. Really think it's the nail on his career.

see how he pulls up after surgery and a full preseason... not giving up on him just yet.

+1

While on the subject of Terry Milera, can we please give him some decent game time and stop dropping him every couple of weeks? We are crying out for guys that have decent foot skills and he is one of the few; thought he'd been pretty good since he came back into the side.

Yep, looks like time's up...

Was happy with the appointment of AR at the start of the year and despite the many losses we've endured this year, I've been patient because we're rebuilding and I know it's going to be a long way back. I'm not saying sack the coach but I am getting a bit concerned at the way we are losing games. A ...

I wish some of you guys would cut him some slack; he's played some really good games for Sandy this year and probably would have been in the team earlier if he hadn't been injured. He doesn't get a lot of possies but is a real opportunist who find the goals on a regular basis normally kicking his 2 ...

None......he's with the filth....they are VERY well looked after.

Sammy Loewe could definitely make it on what I've seen so far - seen him play for his school a couple of times this year and he is a real goer. At this stage, he's short compared to Stewie (although he's still only 15 so he could put on a few cms later on) but he's a real in and under midfielder typ...

I think it's called the bird....

I'm rapt in what I've seen of Tom Hickey in the first couple of games, will be the best ruckman we've had since Spider in my opinion. To be brutally honest, I don't like Darren Jolly and was a bit disappointed that the club brought him on board but you have to start to think that with Tom Hickey's d...

I don't care what player it is, so please don't come on in reply sticking it Beau again, that is not the point. The act of bronx cheering one of our own is completely unacceptable. What are we? Richmond! No we are St Kilda, we know the bad times and we know the good times and we stick it tough and ...

I don't care how bad a guy is going, I HATE hearing Bronx cheers from a St Kilda crowd. The guys a battler, and struggled on one of the best full backs in the comp... Kept trying though. +1 No matter what you think of him, he's still a St.Kilda player and we shouldn't be turning on our own.......I ...

Just labelling him a great player is under rating him... Opposition, and even some Saints supporters don't realise what he has done better for longer than many other CHFs ..... Like Harves as a mid... Fact he wasn't an AA last year was hilarious IMO +1 Travesty of justice the fact that he didn't ge...

Agreed....definitely has all of the attributes but just lacks the intensity required at this level. I really hope Rhys makes it but he and Sipposs need to adopt Rooey's work ethic if they're going to take the next step.

Loved Tom Hickey's game last night......his tap work and mobility is really impressive. For all those that thought that we gave up too much to get him across from GCS, think again. He's potentially a far better ruckman than Ben McEvoy is and will be around for a long long time with the mighty Sainte...
