We tried the draft and it didn’t work? Surely that’s because we took the wrong players, not because it doesn’t work?? And yes, we gave up a lot for Hill A First, Second and Third Round pick and Acres Head out of Arse here That is a massive price Except we also got Howard and Ryder for the original ...

Easy to see how we got into the situation with tall defenders if you think about it for a second. HBFs and Small forwards is the one that gets me, we have even done the oddity of recuiting HBFs and playing them forward (Long/Hind). Some more pure mids would be nice, why I'm happy with the Byrnes sel...

Focus should not be on wiping out debt. I hope we are paying the minimum off and investing everything we can into the club. Members, sponsors, bums on seats- we need positive operating cash flows to grow. Then the debt will take care of itself. To do this we need to give everyone involved every oppo...

Paddy will be remembered as the worst outcome for a No 1 pick this century. Not his fault. St Kilda's recruitment department mostly to blame. Yeah we could have recruited Petracca, a guy who when he did his knee thought that the "silver lining" was that he could play playstation and would...

I am very positive, when I hear something worth being positive about? Hill is a positive... he is what we NEED. Who do I want the club to recruit? Well, to become a quality team, you need quality players or players you NEED to get better... not just players because they are available or willing to ...

Geez, we really squibbed it in 1997. That was the one that was served to us on a platter and we **** our pants. My dad was there and reckons it was the worst he felt ever after that 97 GF loss. Could not believe how stale they were in such a huge game for the club. Then he had to witness Jarman des...

Will nothing to suggest today that we have missed out in any way by not gaining Tomlinson. Yep, agreed...was thinking the same thing. Other observations:- - Why did we end up taking Parker instead of his mentor Pickett? - Didn't realise Ben King was that bloody fast - MUST GET - Richmond was like u...

Ordinary disposal by foot. A couple of direct turnovers when not under much pressure managed to pick out tiger players.

He did it this year, as did Goldstein, Gawn, Grundy, O’Brien, Martin, McEvoy, English He’s not a kid, he’ll be 24 next year and fitter, stronger, smarter. Yes, a back up is needed, in case of injury... but unless he gets injured, Marshall should play 80% Ruck, where he finished second in the b&...

After it turns out a mistake, it’ll be ok to bag out those responsible. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Challenge the decision now, and you get abused. I would be surprised if Ryder turns out to even be effective, but would gladly eat humble pie. Don’t see it happening though, he is not even a good...

Barry, Did you really ask if I was talking to you, even though I used your name in the post? Maybe I was referring to Barry Hall... well maybe not, he’s not a part of this thread... so I guess I was referring to you... hence, using your name. Seriously Barry, you need to do better if you want to be...

It was an example spinner, not an experiment. The jury has been out forever about the value of hit outs and the correlation they have with clearances. Marshall is a capable ruckman. and even more capable midfielder which is where the logic evolution of the game is heading, ruck contests are one of ...

Sounds like a good get for us. Like the kicking skills and analytical references. Rath will have a very busy offseason with our players... no shortage of poor kucks to work with!

12 – Seb Ross 11 – Jack Billings 7 – Rowan Marshall 5 – Jade Gresham 4 – Josh Bruce Total votes - 53 (=14th overall). We finished 14th on the ladder as well. The encouraging thing is we had 13 players poll. That’s equal 2nd behind Hawthorn, equal with Richmond and more than Giants, Pies or Cats. A ...

It's very simple.

what would we even pay for Ryder? Could well be a token pick 70 for all anyone knows. Given we have Marshall and the ex bballer to ruck now Pierce and Longer have gone might not that dumb to have another ruckman that can actually play.

If the descriptions now in the media are correct this is a tragedy beyond description To find yourself in those circumstances leading to the outcome we have seen with Danny defies any commentary because no commentary is in any way adequate There are no words Danny had the profile he had - and what ...

Not this years Jack Steven.

I think the fact that we will be losing more than we’ll be gaining, will mean we will drop down further in 2020 Least we’ll have a pick to try and trade for King in 2020. Side note At cricket training last night, we were talking a bit of finals footy and trades when a mate who barracks for North as...

I remember a lot of positivity around both the AR and SW appointments. You would have found that rather annoying I’d imagine? Given he/she asked the question and then answered it you feel there is a profound hindsight point still to come. If only she/be quoted, we could have seen he/she answer her/...

Spinner Bruce was coming back from a major injury last year... much like Carlisle who played VFL this season. I watched the one game Juice played in the VFL in 2018 He monstered the opposition and dominated, even though he was underdone and hampered by a bad back. The fact you’ve stated this a few ...

St Kilda list management met with Tom Petroro and placed a contract offer of 9 years @ $800k/year plus bonuses for Marcus Bontempelli during the week. The Bont is said to be seriously considering the offer. All parties will deny it. So the bont is seriously considering an offer to leave his club an...
