Re: Long overdue overhaul of Saint's Recruiting Department
I’m always in line for a laugh. But I am not ok with even remotely joking about white power or assholes like David Duke who hate people based on race. The St Kilda Football club would spew reading this post.

Re: AFLX does it prove anything?
Lots of interesting thoughts. I haven’t written any off but Lonie and chubs are on my stink eye list.and I reckon any competitive activity reveals a bit about the individual. This game was quick and it showed a few boys really fit and a few not yet there. But these games help add to match fitness. I...

AFLX does it prove anything?
Well I guess there are three trains of thought. One says that every practice, training session, aflx or JLT games all serve as insights into individual players conditioning, skills etc but as these formats rarely are the best 22 they don’t reveal a team effort. The opposing view says all team play r...

Re: Paddy Extends contract
Nobody knew at recruitment he would be severely injury prone. We all hoped he would succeed greatly. The club believes he had more character than Petracca. It doesn’t matter really what we think the club does what it does. Signing a 4th year player for cheap hoping he comes good is ok. But I do wish...

Re: Lethlean on Radio
Back to the post...my opinion working with people and building teams (not sport teams -corporate). Has led me to firmly believe that character is essential. This man certainly failed the character test, he acted reprehensibly in deceiving his wife and then brought shame to himself and the family. Pe...

Re: Hugh update
He may not be slow on a track but one glaring issue that many people noted ( maybe a reason why people falsely think he is a slug) from fans to media was the fact he seemed to be lagging behind consistently & chasing to far back players on the lead. Whether he was distracted or still learning ho...

Re: 2018 Predictions. Saints. AFL. Anything else. Put em her
I dont think it is negative to have any opinion. My hope is that we finish top of the ladder and win the grand final. Realistic opinion is that we have the thinnest chance - like 10%, to finish 8th. I bet mostly based on reality. We have plenty of decent talent and potential for 2 maybe 3 players to...

Re: Gilbo, Armo, Geary, Brown.
Gilbo will get 1 more into 2019 unless he falters and Brown's last year 2018 unless Logan is a bust. I don't even consider Goddard in factoring as at present he cant even get a starting spot in VFL. But that could change because players evolve and rise to heights not thought possible. Geary will be ...

Re: Our best Tall Back Pocket in the past 50 years
Hudgton was good but compares almost identical to Dempster at 191cm just heavier. He was good at coming in late and fisting the ball but his stats on most things are below Dempster. So basically I like Dempster for best small and tall pocket player

Re: Our best Small Back Pocket in the past 50 years
In my era of 1994 onward it is hard to believe Dempster isnt the standout check out the stats on Peckett vs Dempster. They both get over on different stats but overall Dempster wins. Bit stiff though when Dempster is hardly a small at 9cm more...but he played mean on smalls and talls thats what I li...

Imo no one knows. We think we guess we hope. I do believe at least one of the 4 based on normal odds will come good and hopefully all of them... I do think we missed it in the rookie draft by not selecting Tom Lamb. He has a elite enderance and outside speed. He appears to have a few issues at his f...

Re: Live draft thread
I think these draftees are great. But supposedly we dont need back man yet basically draft 2 average speed mids who play back and 2 defenders. Proves what? Still no outside midfielder with speed. The biggest need on field and we left it gapping wide open. Why we didnt trade up our picks ....no free ...

Re: Paddy smashes his PB in 3km time trial
I will not get excited until Paddy plays more than 5 games without concussion AND if he can string a season of games together with even average play he could be our guy for the future...so I dont think he will make it but I am 100% cheering him on to succeed!
