Re: HS article 3/11 The List Manager - StK
The idea that Jon Ralph, or any other media commentator for that matter, is not entitled to express his opinion on teams is absolute rubbish, that's a legitimate part of their job and love or loathe him, Ralph has vast experience in the industry. Whether or not supporters agree with his views is nei...

Re: Geoff Walsh
Nothing to see here, fact is that Geoff Walsh is one of the highest regarded AFL officials in the business. He did what he was required to do in the massive overhaul of St Kilda football operations last October which resulted in the termination of Brett Ratten and return of Ross Lyon to the love of ...

Re: Campbell extended for one year
Definitely a prudent move to give another year to Tom Campbell, he's dedicated to the club and as someone else pointed out, he is a cheap ruck coach. All will be revealed whether or not Max Heath is AFL standard round about February next year when the squad is full steam into pre-season training an...

Chats with players from other clubs
Following article comes from SEN website, written by Andrew Slevison. I wonder if it accords with AFL rules because I had a feeling that this practice was prohibited. It's a double-edged sword, especially in regard to players who move interstate when drafted. I guess that it would be nigh impossible...

Re: Geary leadership gone to the dogs.
One thing I think some might agree about , is that infield leadership was bad after Geary left. That's true Shane and reflects adversely on Jack Steele who succeeded Geary as skipper. It goes to prove that even one of the team's best players does not necessarily possess the attributes to be a stron...

Re: Geary leadership gone to the dogs.
I'm being unfairly harsh on Geary, I take it back. He gave his all, never backed down and gave outstanding service under incredibly difficult and perhaps unlucky times in terms of draft, trading, medical decisions and career ending injuries. All of that may be true CQS but so are the comments you p...

I'm sure that he would have had to do a lot of persuading to get the other directors behind him.

Re: Draft prediction - player types
I'm surprised to see a young ruck prospect being suggested in the forthcoming draft. Max Heath was recruited in the mid-season draft in 2021, he's 21 today and has shown good form in the seconds. It's more than likely he will debut in 2024. On the subject of ruckmen, it's noteworthy that Tom Campbel...

Very grateful for starting this thread Tony74, hope that you're able to give us a weekly report of what's happening at Moorabbin during the off-season, it'll help to deal with withdrawal symptoms when it all ends on the last Saturday in September. Maybe there are other supporters who attend training...

Re: Saints draft rated
Don't agree with the negative opinion about Jack Billings being traded to Melbourne. For a start, JB is entering the twilight zone of his career, one that has never achieved his #3 draft pick promise while playing for St Kilda. His form in the 11 games he was selected since 2021 were nothing to writ...

Re: Coffield for macrae plus a pick
As much as this appeals, I can't imagine Footscray parting ways with a key and elite playmaker like Jackson Macrae who still has 3 years left on his contract.

Re: Our Gawn conundrum
Max Heath turns 21 next week so he's still only what Ross Lyon termed "a baby" in the AFL. Ross Lyon's teams have always featured strong ruck combinations and I think he will give Heath plenty of opportuties when the young bloke is ready to play on the big stage. When that happens St Kilda...

Re: Welcome to the club Liam Henry
If Liam Henry can perform much like Melbourne's Kysaiah Pickett or Collingwood's Bobby Hill both of who are not as tall as Henry (180cm), which seems to me is quite likely, than he will be a decisive improvement on Gresham. On another note I was interested to read today that commentators are raving ...

Re: Welcome to the club Liam Henry
Good deal but I fear that future second might be a decent pick. That very much depends on where St Kilda finish in 2024. Assuming Fremantle continue to slip down the ladder future 4th could well favour the Saints. Considering Henry's potential this was definitely a very good deal by the club. Gain ...
