Re: Rookie draft selections
I think there are a lot of positions up for grabs so it'll be pretty interesting who gets the first nod If Saad puts in a good pre-season and shows what he had in is his 1st season where do you put Templeton and Billings? Does Billings start going through the middle? If Bruce plays forward where do...

Re: We need to embrace New Zealand.
I honestly believe that New Zealand has the capacity to make the St Kilda FC a power house in the AFL. If done correctly I expect 10, 000 kiwi based members within the next 10 years and a huge flow on effect in Australia. ie, every kiwi that emigrates to Australia will automatically follow the Sain...

Re: Exciting highlights
The positive with Saad is that the work rate, skills and tackle technique are there What he needs to do is find a way to either win more ball or find a way to convert 10 touches a game into 3 goals He needs to learn to run at the ball in straight lines, drop the fancy sh*t from his game and work on...

Re: WHO WILL WE TAKE ON WEDNESDAY?
We could delist another player (Lee), which is unfortunately unlikely, so maybe it's just 4 rookies. Member was slated in as our PSD pick until we were able to pick him up as a delisted FA I think people will be pleasantly surprised by Lee in time. He can play, don't worry about that. He has good h...

Re: Good Luck Ahmed
Saad still had a lot to learn. He really needed to be developing at VFL level for the last 18 months, rather than being suspended.

Re: Trout's war room- article
Good on them to try and work out the best methods in an effort to make the best selections. I reckon Riewoldt would have had a clean room as a child but on the other hand Plugger probably had pie and chiko roll wrappers scattered around his room. Riewoldt was a leader though but Plugger was probabl...

I think its an excellent idea. Smart enough to steal a Premiership from us, we'd have rocks in our head not to consider the idea. Unless he was too expensive.

Re: Stephen Milne's lawyers to decide on rape trial abandonm
I haven't got a problem with Lenny and Roo being there. Even if a mate HAS done the wrong thing that doesn't mean he's no longer a mate. Surely in a mature world even potential sponsors can understand that. Especially as this happened 10 years ago and Milne no longer plays at the club. From what I ...

Sheer madness if we do it. Stanley has just finally emerged! The only reason you would do it, was if you knew you were getting someone like Boyd or Cameron from GWS. Otherwise its madness, a trade we may rue in the future.

I personally think we should keep him, if he wants to stay. I think that is certainly a better option than drafting Saad.
