74 points IS a big turn around BUT we did it last year. Round 4 we were beaten by Adelaide by 86 points (who didn't make finals in '14) and followed it up in Round 5 with a win against Essendon (who did make finals in '14) by 16 points. We just need to rest up and prepare well. We looked buggered la...

Just pointing out that Boyd had 4 disposals, 1 mark, 0 goals last week in a winning team (and perfect conditions at the MCG). That's 11 games in. Tall forwards are a work in progress. I remember back in 2005 when St Kilda played Hawthorn in Round 12 and it was Lance Franklin's first year (he was 12 ...

Probably not going to factor into the ins and outs but interesting to note that Jen Phelan from the AFL is at the Saints' final training run this afternoon and is reporting on Twitter that Riewoldt has his calf heavily strapped. Take that for what it's worth. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CCsQb2MUsAEn...

I think for the sake of our rebuild (which is about long-term reward, NOT short-term relief) we can't eclipse 5 wins this season. 5 wins or less will give us a priority pick. I want us to be competitive, but not at the sake of our future. We still need a few more elite midfielders to round out our l...

Do we know if it will be broadcast on radio at least?

Well chances are high that we'll end up with Pick 1 in 2015 and get to go through all this again next year

GWS trading effectively over, means wont trade any combination of of top picks for @stkildafc #1 #AFLTrades

Are we even talking to GWS? Or are we still waiting for them to approach us?

Looks like GWS are still negotiating with the Dees re Frost. Once that deals done hopefully we see some moves. Hey!, why are WE not negotiating re Frost? Nominated the Dees Geez, players aren't exactly clambering to get to us are they :( If Doggies and the Dees are more attractive clubs, then we ha...

If that's the case, I doubt if anything will get done for us. There's only an hour and 15 minutes left...

SEN is saying GWS are likely to pursue McCartin with Pick 1 because of Boyd leaving. It's coming from Scott Lucas, who is McCartin's manager.

What about 1, Montagna and 40 for 4, 6, 7? I wouldn't be unhappy with that.

Would love to see us trade 1, 21, 22 for GWS' 4, 6, 7 and 24. I realise it probably won't happen but that would be ideal

I would love to see us trade Pick 1 and 22 to GWS for 4 and 7 (after the Griffen trade). Having 4, 7 and 21 would definitely fast track our rebuild.

At first I thought pick 21 wouldn't be enough for Stanley but if Essendon are only going to get picks 17 & 37 for Ryder then 21 wouldn't be bad for Rhys. Difference is that Ryder walked. Stanley was happy at the Club. Do you know for a fact that he is happy at the club do you? He wants to stay ...

Phew. Time to catch a few breaths before SEN starts another rumour about us.

SEN now reporting Dal more likely to stay than go. I hate this time of year- just this morning SEN were reporting he was already gone.

Damian Barrett reported it on the Footy Show tonight. Though he is now officially contracted for next year (due to the amount of games he played this year), the club is entertaining the idea of a trade. Apparently both the club and Dal think it'd be the best thing for both parties, if the trade cond...

Poor guy is "struggling to cope" according to Herald Sun headline online... Unreal. Cope with what exactly? One minute he has no injuries, the next he has "minor burns". One minute he's a "little shaken up", the next he's "struggling to cope". One minute all ...

Ch7 News just said he has "minor injuries".

The fact that he doesn't want to press charges and is only asking for his damaged clothes to be replaced tells me it might be a bit of a beat up. It's an act of utter stupidity, yes, but before we start calling for the player in question to be sacked we might want to find out exactly what happened. ...

Just watched the replay and none of the magic was lost. Definitely, regardless of the team Freo fielded, one of the best wins I've ever been to. The prelim final wins were great but they were followed by such intense disappointment in the weeks that followed. This was just pure joy. Couldn't have as...

Just saw this photo posted on Twitter. Interesting to see him supporting our boys today on an Essendon match day!
