oh i hope its not true!
we want more than just depth in the backline and a useless pick 62!
disgrace if true!

so n.brown and maguire will be our key backs at sandy then?

I cant believe this rumour until its official..

Lets get the ball rolling!!

Raph for 2010!!

raph is a gun. he's not, but he could be if he can get the weaknesses out of his game. i like him better on or in front of the ball than in defence. Agreed. However with Max gone and reports Colm Begley is to get the flick - Raph seems destined for the backline. Mabye with Goose and Dempster steppi...

Good stuff!! that last quarter against the Dogs in the Prelim even the commentators were saying that Raph was our only player providing run out of defense! Ive had enough of the Raph bashing too! People look at the negatives and over look the positives. He makes the odd mistake but so does every pla...

yuk!

whatever why you look at it its yuk. surely even a slightly better pick couldve been gained!?

I dont want to lose X... sounds like he wants to lose us though. fair enough then.. although he is better than a 4th rd pick, he's missed so much footy lately that its the best we can get for him. those great goals and high marks were so exciting in his first few years, seemed to change the way he ...

Salary Cap would be the only reason.

You would think so but if he only had his contract extended recently he'd be on low wage anyway..

we wouldn't go near Fraser..he's nearly had it.. but yeah, getting him involved in a 3 way deal would be good. a good young guy in McKinley or Everitt for Ball would be great and then maybe look at Tuck in the pre season. This would mean we get a good young 3rd tall. heaps of pace, depth and goal ki...

At first i wasnt against the idea of getting Brown if our medical crew find him in good health, however, whilst we still have lots of youngsters coming up im concerned about getting too many older guys in the one year. Lovett, Peake, Brown.. yes we want to win now but.... Brown is a low risk option ...

In 3-4 years St.Kilda will have one of the premier ruck combo's in the AFL with Big Mac and Stanley. I haven't seen McGrath so i can't comment but Stanley has all the ingredients to make a big impact. He can obviously run fast but he also has a pretty good tank, good below his knees for a big guy, c...

I agree Walked out, ex club captain, gave up pick 2 in a good draft... now wont be compensated He will be booed and if i see him in the street, he will be punched Lucky i dont live in Melb! yeah right... says the man too gutless to meet my mum on GF day. Good one Batknob. :roll: That's where you ar...

Its funny reading people say that Luke Ball is a big boy and should be mature enough to cop the booing etc.... well what kind of mature grown man would 'boo' someone like Ball.. plugger, hall, everitt yeah ok, coz they screwed the club and left in their prime but Ball has been a class act his whole...

Absolutely. We've waited 43 years and then 69 years before that. Win it now. Win it NOW. Great pick up. I like this pick-up too.. Whilst I dont think Lovett will end up like the following list its important to not over do it in regards to winning it now mentality; remember Brian Wilson, Tony Antrob...

Well, on that logic, then he's a bargain. Played off half back allows us to release either Raph, Fisher, BJ or Gilbert to play half forward. So we effectively got 2 for the price of one. Killed to birds with the one stone, so to speak. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 8-) I dont think Fisher...

Only disappointing aspect for me is I had hoped we could use pick 16 to get a bigger fish like Fev or Burgoyne thats my only concern aswell! He fills some needs that we have, it just wouldve been nice to have gotten abit extra for it. Pick 16 is worth as much in this draft either so i suppose it lo...

um....whilst im happy to get Lovett I think giving up a 1st rd pick for a inconsistant 27yo is way over the odds, i would've also liked to have at least swapped our 2nd rd picks or something! You should get an absolute star or a potential 10 year player with your 1st pick. :? What we get for Ball is...

Players like Fev don't don't become available everyday so we have a duty of care to at least look into it. I'd say he'd only come to us if carlton paid part of his salary. He is a bigger fwd than we need however we were comfortable having allen in our team so not much different. It would mean Roo ca...

sorry guys i dont rate raph and i didnt rate his game today , he puts on good tackle pressure but thats all , his ball use and decision making is very poor and lets him down two often imo , i wasnt impressed with zacs game today , hes been down for 4 weeks imo some people are funny. No idea at all....

Whilst watching (only 5min mind you) the reaply of the 97 GF i rememered how we wore our clash strip that day.. it was a disgrace! :evil: we finished higher that year too so why did we wear that jumper instead of our traitional one like we should've!? Firstly i want to make the GF but once in it the...

seriously I am sick to death of the IDIOTS who jump on radio shows and make us saints supporters look stupid TO THE IDIOT on the radio right now saying "why wasn't maguire selected when raph clarke, the worst player in the AFL is playing yadda yadda" think before you speak, then shut up a...

Interesting isn't it!!? We have so many options leading into this finals series, unlike 04-06 when we could hardly field a team. Ok, so we're playing 3 rucks..i guess easing Gardiner back thru the fwd line with Big Mac. Nice to see Steven get rewarded with a run after pushing for a game all season. ...

They were there on sat night!

Didn't see them after the game tho..

Great to see and it adds an extra special feeling to the atmosphere!

Its amazing that in this day and age of security measures at almost every public event, the security at the dome manage to miss something as deadly as a flare being brought into the stadium. Its not the first time I've seen this sort of crap at the dome, it has happened at the soccer games held the...
