If the club feels the need for speed, surely Maverick is the man?

Not sure about Holmes TBH, but I imagine he can go back to being a rookie. I think they might be reviewing the rookie process. This was posted an hour ago. Looks like the club is going to look at re-signing Longer: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/afl-season-2016-st-kilda-in-talks-about-new-con...

I have always despised them and always will. Long may they languish in the land of mediocrity.

There was a huge queue filled with their bandwagon jumping fans when I arrived at the ground. As others have said, thanks for the dosh.

I don't think we need all of them on the list, so one of them should probably move on at the end of the year. Holmes may be in danger for the reasons you listed. Longer was our number 1 ruckman in the second half of last year, so I wouldn't want to get rid of him unless we replaced him in the squad ...

I really liked it. The sun seemed to affect players a couple of times, but the open roof made for a great feeling. It's nice getting a win on a sunny day. I reckon it should be our call as the home team to have what we want as a home ground advantage. If we want it open, stuff what the AFL says. The...

A single senior game from him this year would be a huge win. I'm not expecting it, but if it happens then fantastic. The main thing is he gets his body right this year, so if it's still ok after pre-season he can get a lot of game time next year.

I'm not sold on him yet. However, I look forward to looking back on this comment down the track and realising how wrong I was!

No, Port Arthur happened on the day of our next game after Trev died. v Footscray at Waverley? I remember hearing about it in the car park. I met Barks with my little brother after training at Moorabbin. He was very nice. Also went to his last game in 1989 v Hawthorn at Waverley (if my memory is ac...

Wasn't going to say anything, but it's driving me crazy - the guy who went to Carlton is Craig Devonport, not Davenport.

Hah yes I thought that after I posted.

It was a vicious, vicious headbutt. I'm not sure if Plugger ever forgave Caven for that.

Brilliant comeback in that game. I was playing soccer at the time, so unfortunately didn't get to see it live.

Looks like I joined in 2004, but I post infrequently so chances are nobody recognises my username anyway.

BJ is too old now as well.

Hahaha if I didn't watch The Wire I'd have no idea what you were on about!

I've got a St Kilda poster up here and Ross is standing next to Acres, who is slightly taller than him. The St Kilda site has Acres at 190cm. Billings is on the other side of him and is a bit smaller. He's listed at 184cm.

How many years has he been on the list again? Four or five? He's had awful luck. I hope he manages to snag a first team spot one day.

We played two quarters and they played three, yet we could potentially have won it if not for some terrible turnovers. Their fans won't have gone home beaming either.

I got there at quarter time and saw Wright leave with a bandage over one of his eyes. Did he cop an elbow or something?

It was a tight contest all the way through, so was a good win, especially given it was away. Richo was there watching.

I was at: R22, 2005: 139 points over Brisbane at Docklands - I was there as part of a mate's bucks. He was a Fitzroy fan, so not too happy. Milne was on fire and could not miss. Darryl White played his last game. R7, 1991: 131 points over Adelaide at Moorabbin - this is in my top 5 games. Winmar ret...

Schneids definitely. The young guys usually drop off, and smaller players like Lonie will learn a lot about being an intelligent footballer by being on the field with him.

It was interesting to see Delaney give him a spray against the Bulldogs in the third quarter after allowing his opponent to take a mark on the line. We've been doing pretty well in the hitouts this year compared to some other years, but I haven't looked at who's winning them. Hickey? Can't hurt to g...

I always looked upon Williams as a true centreman. Harves was more of the ruck rover/rover type. I have never worked out the difference. Certainly not in the last 20 years. When I was growing up there would be a ruck rover, rover and centre. Now they're all just midfielders. Who are the "utili...

It'd be interesting for a key defender to go so high. Doesn't sound like he's your average key defender though. Will keep an eye out for his name through the year. Intresting also re Aish. Prior to that draft (2012?) people were saying that he'd be a risky pick, because there would be a reasonable c...

I thought it was 50/50 at the time, but once we got Goddard I didn't look back. Given we have other ruckmen (albeit none with quite the same forward potential) and really needed to draft a key backman, it seems at this stage to have worked out really well.
