And spare me "we've been shyte before......so we can handle that" rubbish - this side has spent the last decade DEMANDING respect from the football world.......are we now going to slink back to "pathetic old St Kilda?" We're already back there unfortunately. I think you'll find ...

Milne is a champion so if Saad tries to emulate Milne, fantastic.

There is no way on earth we will finish bottom four! Which teams do you think are below us? It may only be Melbourne and Greater Western Sydney; having said that I think that if our stars come good then we will snare the odd win (like the Carlton game), so if we do finish higher than 15th then it's...

Either way, McEvoy is the best we've got. Let's just hope that in a few years time when the current dominant rucks have retired, McEvoy by default becomes one of the premier rucks in the league.

Disagree on Milne. Who is our next 10 year forward pocket? Saad? If so then it's important that Saad plays alongside Milne for as long as possible and learn from him. I don't agree that Milne isn't doing enough to hold his place either. The delivery into our forward line is atrocious; how often do y...

I'm over discussing it. Heaps of saints adore him, never questioned his effort, but we'd of been better with Geary with a hard tag He isn't the future IMO I agree. I like Jones and he played some fantastic games for St Kilda, but his best was around 2009-10. In that team, with that style of game pl...

Surely not, but then again!!

Knowing the way we love to trade our high picks away for rejects from other clubs, don't joke about it...

I think this is a ruck problem to be honest. McEvoy has always been poor with hitouts to advantage, so right away the midfielders have an uphill task. If their job is to rove off the opposition ruckman, why bother having a ruckman at all. It's an area where McEvoy needs to improve. Just one area tha...

We've done a good job of playing teams into form this year, let's wait until we play Melbourne before making bold calls!

We're a team on the decline unfortunately. It started in earnest when we lost to Port Adelaide last year, but only now when we're losing games to Gold Coast and a poor Bulldogs outfit are people starting to wake up to it. Watters hasn't done anything to convince me he'll be the next man to take St K...

I liked it, I'd buy that jumper if it was available.

Noted someone asked saints locker about buying a long sleeve, they replied only small number made abd their still trying to peel it off Milney It makes no sense to me. They try and gouge supporters by hoping we'll buy all of the different clash strips, away strips, home strips, training strips yet ...

Come on, this is St Kilda. We won't snag a big fish!
But guaranteed we will use high draft picks selecting (or trading for) decidedly average players with very normal sounding names. Expect guys like Tim Roberts, John Black and Peter Murray to be clogging our list next year!

Fox got shafted by Ch7 in the 1st deal. Fox fought for (and got) a much better deal this time. Lets take it as a compliment that Fox wanted to do our ANZAC Day game !! I wouldn't take it as that much of a compliment, seeing under the current arrangement Foxtel are obligated to cover any game that C...

That is up there with the worst umpired quarters I have ever seen. Every marginal one going Essendon's way, all of the bleedingly obvious ones are play on. The Saad tackle? The Throw?

Where would the line be drawn?
A loss to GWS? A wooden spoon this year?

We get excited about Steven and Armo coming along....And our young mids coming through, Ledger, Ross, Wright and Newnes... GWS have Ward and Scully and then Shiel, Treloar, Whitfield, Coniglio, Tyson, Greene and O'Rourke.... GCS have Swallow, O'Meara, Bennell, Lonergan and Jack Martin who is likely...

dragit wrote:Usually guys with immense talent show something early...

I agree.

When was the last time St Kilda had a player like this?

And don't say Newnes, I just can't believe the hype surrounding him after a handful of average performances. "Not far off A Grade" someone said

I think Elliots game is a little overplayed (ducks for cover) I think it more has to do with throwing a spanner into the works of the opposition coach, who probably hasn't prepared for that particular guy. It's entirely possible that a kid not particularly starring in the VFL for us, could come in ...

We haven't even seen Kosi play this year.
If he comes back in and kicks 5 then everyone will be calling for Watters head for persevering with Beau Maister instead of playing Kosi.

Is being annihilated by Sydney really the sort of impression we want to set for any locals that do actually turn up? Hard to see how this experiment is going to work in-so-far as attracting new members. But then again, I said a few weeks ago to solidify any local support we were mad for not playing ...

Don't have an IQ box. The gripe I have is that Foxtel's own TV listing said the post game would go from 7:30 - 8. Yet a couple of minutes past 8, when surely the repeat would have started, Eddie and co. are still banging on about the result. If Foxtel just updated their TV listings (the logical thin...

From 2004 to 2010 we were a contender and gave it a good shake. It's gone. We've got to accept that it will take a while to build towards our next tilt. That's one of the reasons Pelchen was brought in. But it's going to take more than a couple of weeks. You can't build a list in a year or even two...

I'm not talking about the game, I can only imagine how much fun that was to watch :roll: I couldn't catch it live, so I thought I'd watch the replay on Fox Footy at 8pm. So I wait until a couple of minutes past 8 (using Foxtel's clock), just to be safe from any spoilers... and what do I see, Eddie a...
