Re: Worst possible start to the season we were all fearing...
It was a poorly played game by both teams, very few Saints could walk off feeling they gave their best...but it was a decent effort by most, just not their best. But thats how it goes. Cats are almost unbeatable at home. No one needs debate what are facts. Tight, tough contests, so both teams really...

FRe: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
Focussing solely on sport there are many instances globally of athletes struggling with addictive behaviours ( substance use, gambling etc) as well as violence ( assaults, bullying, stalking). The good news is that some of them, when given opportunity to understand WHY they choose the destructive be...

Re: Training Reports
I'm proud of & grateful for Seb. Tough gig being in a soft team over the years, a hard club may have spewed him out or refined his jagged bits...we'll never know. He has been a captain, a faithful clubman. We cant & wont forget his committment. He's done now. I know he adds something but let...

Re: Will Keeler be the real deal??
Dont know where he'll end up but at ground level last year in vfl & during training this year he has always been positive, asking questions, and seems really keen to succeed. I dont think there's much hindering him..

Me suspects they did not intend to take 5 picks but when they realised that Schoenmaker was still on the board they pounced. In German the "E" immediately after the "O" indicates there should be an umlaut on the O converting the sound to "ur" as in Danke Schoen, the Sc...

Re: Arie Schoenmaker
Culture at the club is critical to our long term success. Character in players helps them stay committed & focussed... But we've lacked lads with a healthy mindset AND a bit of mongrel. Baker was brilliant, give ya the shirt off his back...but he'd rip ya tits off as well if he deemed it necessa...

Re: Lance Collard
I met him when he was 17. He was very shy but he never stopped looking me in the eyes when we chatted (a whole 3 mins lol). He was acting like a young man with a strong mind...firm handshake, looked me in eyes, respectful, even slipped in a cheeky comment. Then a few hours later he kicked 2 goals. G...

Nice looking small forward...sure we've got a few but you never know... His 11 games At Subby this year yielded 32 goals...last 2 games 5 goals back to back...handy. Welcome to St Kilda!

I think at pick 16 we will dig through the scraps and take whatever we can.
Hopefully a legend slips through undetected...can happen...not likely but it might.

Re: Erin Phillips retired!
To imply that AFL and AFLW should not be on the same website is really trite. AFLW already sits in the background and only highlighted when AFL is at it's lowest regarding news stories and indeed when AFLW is at it's peak and very few AFL players are even training. If it wasn't for Trade, Draft and...
