Our drafting has been horrible I don't need to go into detail I think everyone knows the story.

Not a great advertisement for our ability to harness talent.

Acres been given the boot Stanley is the worst number 1 ruck in the AFL and McCartin we had little choice.

Arces has a way better offer from Carlton that's hardly getting the boot IMO

Stanley V Paddy & Hickey I wish all of them well I don't care who wins I hate the Swan's & the Cat's equally

Crouch had an excellent year As did Membrey, again Steele surprised me… missed 6 and I thought he was just ok… compared to the previous 2 years I thought Steele was particularly average especially after he returned from injury. He looked incredibly slow. I'm pretty sure he came back too quick. Prob...

His body shape was pathetic and he looked like a local suburban footballer

I wish Benny all the best & I would have loved him to stay but he has to think about his future & if the rumours are true make hay while the sun shines . AFL careers are pretty short in the big picture so players need to make the most of what they have to offer while they are still relevant....

Still contracted & Bell is similar to Dildo from Essendon so I doubt we would get him cheap . They would want our first & second rounder

I think the original post has been hijacked by posters airing there own opinion's on issues that have nothing to do with our AFLW team.

So Hill is 7th Not many had him top 10 Seems to be a disconnect between the fans opinion of Brad Hill and the coaches… I had him 7th. Ghost Like and older saint had him in their top ten. Not many value Skunk either. In the Saintsational Eastern Memorial votes he’s not even top ten I think Other obs...

I live in a Suburb in Perth they call "Little Britain" most of my neighbours are pom's & they often have a dig at me about the AFL system & how the rules are rewarding mediocrity . I try & tell them that is to even up the competition & give everyone a chance to succeed . I ...

Looks like we might loose hunter to a trade which would be terrible as he is right age and experience to take the young group through to next level. well I was hoping with long going as well he is in the same age bracket as well. He's contracted so would need to be strongly in favour of the Saints ...

I like Benny & I hope we hang on to him but not at 600K (if that figure is actually correct )400K maybe

0.5 to 4.1 in the last quarter to lose by 15 points to Brisbane just a couple of weeks back King kicked 0.5, remember? And other easy shots were missed And we were missing players whilst Brisbane had players missing from their line up this evening Brisbane have tonight beaten Melbourne to earn a Pr...

IMO had a pretty good game tonight & has been consistent all year . I was disappointed when we moved him on & pretty much for nothing but we are St.Kilda & 1 flag in over a hundred years of our club's existence say's a lot .

If he is cheap why not . Not a super star by any means but nothing ventured nothing gained IMO

Because that is how far off we are.

Not far at all, but the resolution is easier spoken to than achieved.

I'd say "ya dreamin"

Clark and Ben Long to GC for Ben King. I’d take that deal before the ink dried on the contract No chance I'm with you but yeah no chance GC would not accept that offer & even if we threw in Hill as sweetener they still wouldn't accept it so nice thought but it aint happening :wink:

Interesting that Paddy & Hill don't feature much in the tips. No forwards other than 50+ goals Max. (Were there any?) Reckon Brad will feature - if for no other reason than he might leave if he doesn't. I was going to put Hill at 10 but I just loved what DMac did this year so I went with the he...

IMO it is unlikely we would be looking to recruit Hartigan but we are St.Kilda so anything is possible.

Actually, we add MORE talent Hopefully addressing our deficiencies being support for King, Howard and Marshall And adding class to our centre square Plus moving on the List cloggers - which includes 2 of our 3 most experienced players We need players who can run with the ball in hand then use it pl...

Nice thought but for that to happen we need to get busy & get the cheque book out

Yeah probably the right move but there will be a lot of pain in the next few years before we see results IMO

As opposed to all our recent success?

I suppose 17th to 15th is no different to 12th to 9th so you have a point
