The question to be asked is, Hill has nominated St Kilda where (apparently) he will be the ONLY A Grade player we will have, the rest C and D Grade and worse as we are constantly reminded by a serial, recalcitrant contributor on here - and, to boot, our administration is not up to standard So Hill ...

For the price we are getting a player who played in the 2017 flag, Dan Butler could be the trade of 2019. Well my post was on talls. But yes this thread is on Butler and so back on track. Butler needs to plays like he did in 2017 and not like he did in 2019. Opposition coaches put time into players...

And just to add, we field 22 players each week So, as St Kilda’s history attests, you need more than an elite player or some elite players I maintain that Hill is A grade, not elite. You are, of course, correct that we need some elite players. My concern is that if we pay an elite price for Hill we...

There seems ro be a clear reshuffling of the size balance of the list though. In terms of list : TALL OUTS Well as it stands it would seem the talls of Longer, Pierce and Bruce will be gone. Brown could well be gone, but may be kept as a back up player. Paddy I would doubt would actually play. So t...

I don’t think Hill is worth 2 first rounders But if he’s worth 900k he’s worth a bit. Just because they asked for 2 first rounders initially, do you really think they expected that? Of course they went high with demands as they want as much as possible for their contracted player. Give them 48 hour...

click bait

would Melbourne be willing to match or better the deal the Dogs are offering Josh? Not sure too many clubs would offer Josh a 4 year deal so it doesn't allow really for too much ar·gy-bar·gy. Got a feeling Simon and Ameet will get a deal done.

The club has really been steadily growing and improving since Peter Summers took over and the final pieces are coming together now. I will give Summers getting us back to Moorabbin, but apart from that the stamp of his Presidency was treading water. Progress was glacial. Way too cautious and Richo ...

Gee I wish I had the confidence others have about the difference ratten's brilliant coaching is going to make. It stems from the same place Western Bulldog supporters drew confidence from when Beveridge took over from McCartney. Fingers crossed with similar results. Don't get me wrong, my fingers a...

Acres has been deployed in the F50 (including having to contest in the ruck) Plus has been used lining up on the edge of the centre square, so as a wing player for lack of a better description noting Melbourne’s comment that they tried 15 thru that position without success last season and have now ...

Butler is ok; he’s a good finisher and is very efficient but he plays in a very good team and is usually on the end of some good play further up the ground. But, I’m confused and a bit worried about our strategy in recruiting more small forwards (it's been reported that we're after Sam Gray as well...

Fantastic article in terms of promoting our club and generating some buz, Simon Lethlean is going to be the best recruit of our clubs history and who said adultery doesn't pay. We have real gravitas in our admin now and it shows. I've thought for long time now that this years and possibly next years...

hmmmmmm ok.

were you licking an icecream when you typed that or did you have a point?

Jack has upside and most have forgotten how most people viewed him say before 2016 -17 where you would probably say 2016 was his best year for the club. He's 186cm and a great overhead mark but has had limited opportunity to showcase that side of himself, when he has played forward he's shown he can...

Gee I hope Paddy's health is good irrespective if he plays again or not. His parents must lay awake at night worrying themselves sick.

Been reading this site a long time and decided to join in on the discussion and excitement because it's clear we are the winner of the trade period in 2019. I'd like to see another midfielder or two added, they don't have to be elite or A grade but I think we just need a bit more depth in that depar...
