Glad to have this guy on board.

Twomey has us taking Battle or SPP and he is usually fairly accurate. Ridley could also suit us. Local lad. Dempster and Gilbo won't be around forever. I noticed today that Sheehan has rated Sam McLarty @ 23 -Tall, mobile defender who can take a good pack park ! his Rating for #22 is Andrew McGrath...

I like Armo.

Personally I'm swapping melbournex2 for
Carlton & Collingwood and then Melbx2 as a bonus.

Ah well thinking with my heart but it can be easily done
just go along to see St. Kilda in Preliminary Final 1

I think it's a good sign to see Jack S. taking it on himself to be fit enough to win the time trail.
Coming into 2017 Jack could be of the mind that he'll be as prepared as he can be to take opportunities when they present.
Keep at it Jack, it's great to see you out there really going for it.

& then 6, 9, 13, 18, 20, 22.
Winning all the above would make 9 very pleasing wins but another 5 is needed to get to that respectable number 14!
fingers crossed.

Consultants, designers, lawyers fees, advertising and incidentals: $275 million Works: $25 million Outcome: A coat of paint and more food outlets. My suggestions: Install escalators and remove loud speakers. Seconded. Escalators would be a good inclusive addition. There's unfortunately too many old...

Witherton & P.P. mentioned on a couple of phantom drafts (around #23). They both seem like likely picks for us with our focus on mid-field depth. I wonder how Witherton is rated by those @ the Geelong Falcons given the large number of players picked from there over recent years by AFL clubs ? On...

Goose is king I tend to agree, AR has an impressive history of getting the best out of players exiting other clubs for us Sainters. O'Shea could well go onto greater & better things with AR in his corner. Coming back to Victoria could also help Cam successfully settle into the red, black & w...

Sam has been one of my favourite players to watch in recent times. I will miss Sam's defensive skill set including his awareness, intercept marking and safe delivery out of defence.
All the best for the future Sam and thank-you for your very valuable contribution to St. Kilda Football Club.

I can recall back in the Plugger/Harvey/Loewe era an Irish player called Dermot McNicholl getting a run with the Saints @ Moorabbin. Only registered a couple of games but better was to follow. Next arrivals were Jim Stynes (Brownlow Medalist 1991) & Sean Wight who were both valuable players for ...

[quote="Impatient Sainter"]Yes Ameet and his team should be knighted 'Sir Ameet Bains esq' If we do well with our two picks in the twenties & thirties I'll be prepared to view our recruitment team as real Jedi. The footy gods had a soft spot for the Bulldogs just recently and maybe it'...

Saints vs Demons with a view of the sky and 40,000 fans to signal a new era of bigger crowds @ The Dome. I expect the Dees to keep improving like us/ could be a classic encounter. It would of coarse be sweet indeed to get those 4 points. Also looking fwd. to Dunstan, McCartin & Hickey being fit ...

I stated a fair bit that Luke has sacrificed his own game to play the defensive midfield. He had a body beyond his years that enabled us to play him in that role rather than recruit an older hard bodied mid that did not fit our age demographic .. Now with this years recruits Luke will be able to de...

Why have all the so-called ITK's disappeared at such an important time????? Makes me wonder????? Patience, grasshopper. Even if Ameet and trout themselves were posting on here, they'd get more calls wrong, than right. IIRC, Bevo used to have a list of 60 or more names of players from other clubs on...

Seconded.

Have a great day Roo

I'm just feeling very appreciative of all the times Roo has been fantastic for St.Kilda Football Club.
Simply an inspiration.

I'm Wondering if we will still be looking for another mid over a tall defender - be it via GWS or this years' draft ?
I found today's trading intriguing to say the least.

Looking fwd. 2 seeing Jack have a great preseason first of all
. . . and then really keen to see Jack out on the field.


G O S A I N T S !

Would want a top 15 pick or equivalent for Hickey. Armo around a pick 20. Webster around a pick 25. For all three - would want pick 2 Hickey to me seems to be on an upward spiral of improvement and is an incredibly valuable big man in our overall team strategy. I'm picking on Luke Ball in this examp...

Just wondering how the stack of Sandy players are being rated (including these 3 below) ? ? Tim Taranto Mid 186cm, Wt 82kg Sandringham Dragons Oliver Florent Mid 183 cm, Wt 84 kg Sandringham Dragons Jack Scrimshaw Def 193 cm, Wt 80 kg Sandringham Dragons FP Suggested that JS might be well suited to ...

Sean Dempster - The consumate professional. this sounds like something KB would say about our Sean, I agree. I've heard Dempster is famous around the place for his attention to detail & professional approach. Like Rooey & Monty he is a great influence on the younguns I would of thought. Wish...

Seconded Moods! I Good point below. "What? Did they put out a press release that I missed? Because they have some flog supporters that are/were jealous of us, that means we have to be the same? THere will always be certain elements that are bitter. This very thread proves that". If the dog...

With the big day of the preliminary final now just a few hours away I couldn't help thinking back to 2010/ Sep 5. and to the last time I witnessed St.Kilda in a finals game. My memory of that night @ the MCG lives on in epic proportions. It must be massively exciting for Bulldogs fans sensing the ve...

What I noticed of Dustin Martin this year was his ability to operate very well indeed as an inside mid for Richmond. D.M. really looked the goods - whether these goods are what what our brains trust would prefer who knows although The Age I think reported that the Saints were not actually interested...

Just heard one of KB's commentator buddies suggest that Tom Rockliff wants out of Brisbane and could be on his way to St. Kilda, seemed to think that a lower draft pick would seal the deal.
