I'm really bullish on Narkle. I think he's got all the tools to be a really good player; just hasn't quite put it all together at Geelong but his talent was undeniable.
Definite yes from me - even happy to offer a three year deal.

Re: What's with all the punching down in the media?
At St Kilda, we definitely don't have the best players. And with our current coach, we certainly don't have the best game plan. And with our wider football department, we definitely don't have the best culture. I'd be interested to know, with our current playing list, what our game plan should be? ...

Re: What's with all the punching down in the media?
If this forum is a sample size of all members, then clearly we don’t care about winning and it isn’t the number 1 priority. Then filters through and this is what we have, a sub-par professional sports club. Couldn't agree more. St Kilda just doesn't seem very focused on winning premierships and tra...

Re: Michito
Shows glimpses of being a prospect. He'll make it, but what kind of player he develops into is really hard to tell. He's got lots of x-factor. Nice pair of hands, well-balanced. Hope he learns to find the footy. 18 touches in his last game of the year was much more like it and I hope he goes on with...

Re: Delistings
Lienert has stepped in and been competent but I think he was just brought in to take Coffield's spot on the field for this year. He's no world beater and at 28 he isn't getting any better. A little harsh perhaps but I wouldn't give him another contract I forgot Lienert. I'd wait until very late in ...

Re: Cheerio Matt Finnis - St Kilda CEO since 2014.
Gets a tick for Moorabbin, and for handling some of the sensitive issues (especially Rod Owen and Robert Muir) but that's it. The absolute failure to instil a high performance culture is how I'll remember him. Hitched his wagon to two failed coaches; backed in a dreadful recruiting and development t...

Re: Oliver Lowe
Allison was not considered in the top 125 prospects by most clubs; only a handful had him in their top 75.
Only we had him in our top 30. Why we didn't trade the pick is beyond me. Why we gave him a contract extension - with no explanation - is downright bizarre.

Re: Pyss off Lloyd ya flog
Haven't read this thread but imagine it will be full of people defending the club and attacking Lloyd. Well, I just watched Lloyd's assessment and it was spot on. Literally, behind Lockett, Lloyd was the best kick for goal I ever saw. And Lloyd had to work at building a perfect technique in order to...

Not many positives, but he’s #1.
Will he be a superstar? Unlikely, but he could be an A-grader if he keeps this up.

Re: Are we so used to failure…
I believe we have institutionalised mediocrity and that is reinforced by the current group of players, coaches and administration.

I used to love the trip to Geelong more than anything in footy but boy am I so happy I stayed home tonight. We look absolutely atrocious. Their ball movement is embarrassing us.
