Re: The Stanley trade ...what we think.

What did we get? Hugh Goddard? An epic fail from our illustrious recruitment team that chose McCartin over “you know who” in that same period. Just a sh*tty football club . Why do you bother ? I wish I couldn’t. But I’m stuck with this club. Doesn’t mean I have to justify their crappy decisions, or...

Re: The Stanley trade ...what we think.

Gave up Stanley and pick 60 for pick 21 which we turned into Hugh Goddard in the 2014 draft. We delisted him in 2017 where he was picked by Carlton as the first pick in the rookie draft. Pick 60 became pick 59 and was used by Geelong on Jordan Cunico. Not sure Stanley would have helped us in the 20...

We are a middling list Ross has had elite lists and couldn’t win a flag - he sure as s*** isn’t doing much with this list! Big call to say our list was elite. At best, it was an elite...

So a list of hiring and firing over a 12 month period proves we’re well managed? I thought so, your accusations have no substance. Enjoy your white whale hunt.

Looks like another case of "The sky is falling, the sky is falling!" Seriously, taking pot shots at the club all the time is ridiculous. Emotional outbursts due to frustration don't achieve anything. Look at the facts. We all know we're a middle of the ladder team with insufficient talent...

St Kilda is just a sh*tty football club at present and until you start fostering a culture which is desperate for success, we will only ever be just another sh*tty football club.

Tonight hurt to watch. We are not good enough. But we knew that at the start of the year. That said- again at times threatened to win the game with a bit of luck. The kids will learn from the game. Other things we learned. Midfield exposed as not good enough and Sinclair is significantly better and...
