Does anyone think there's the slightest chance we'll ever see some value from the Rookie Draft?

Four players elevated from the rookie list played in the preliminary for us this year. Milne, Eddy, Jones and McQualter.

Its ok, it basically seems to be all the stkilda matches off foxtel's review show. Highlights of both teams, followed by the score, then Ross Lyon's press conference. The games we lost it shows about three highlights. I expected better. It's certainly no 'That Was The Season That Was' hosted by Sand...

Dont expect Dempster to be out as long as first thought, his recovery is going very well...

Obviously the club knows best and there are reasons for this decision.
However getting the hopes of the supporters up and then disappointing the majority of them is poor form.

How can this Barrett rabbit have any idea about St.Kilda's salary cap and player payment situation when there are currently only 33 players on the senior list and 3 rookies??!!

If St.Kilda couldn't afford Ben Cousins, they wouldn't go after him. Simple as that.

hardness is being able to run through a double-brick wall. Hardness is knowing you're gonna be second to the ball but making sure the player who's first knows you're there and thinks twice next time. Toughness is being that first player to the ball and putting your head over it knowing you're gonna...

I know I'm going right back to the start of this post, but I can't get over the fact that this bloke thinks he can run through Steven King, Steven Baker, Sam Gilbert, Sam Fisher, Michael Gardiner, Lenny Hayes, Nick Riewoldt, Matt Maguire & Jason Blake. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! I'm...

Aussie is playing at Gembrook, but he's not senior coach.

I think the fixture is great. Geelong once. Hawthorn once. Collingwood once. No trip to the Gabba. One trip to Perth (and a game we should win) Melbourne, West Coast and Essendon twice. Two games in Adelaide within 3 weeks is good. You'd rather play at the same venue in quick succession than say Bri...

1) Which players on our list would get a spot in the hawks 22 at the moment. 2) Which players have the potential to get a spot. My thoughts are below but I don't have enough knowledge of the Hawthorn team to have a firm opinion on the matter let alone give consideration to the old chestnut "te...

I reckon Mark Ricciuto would be good. But we'd have to lure him away from playing local footy in Waikerie first.

Can we read anything into the fact he is announcing his preferred club on Channel 7 tomorrow? Surely if he was going to the Pies he would be announcing it on channel 9.

Adelaide used the pick to draft Darren Pfeiffer who never played a senior game and was delisted at the end of 2007

He has since been picked up by Carlton and played 7 games this year.

Including finals and the pre-season comp, the AFL season runs for 30 rounds. St.Kilda featured in 29 of them. The one missing? The one that matters.

The same thing happened in 2004.

So close, but in reality, so far.

Highlights. 1. The Semi Final vs Collingwood. 2. The comeback vs Hawthorn. 3. The brave moves made by Lyon prior to the Freo match in R13. 4. Smashing Adelaide on Harvey's day. 5. Keeping our run against Carlton going. Lowlights. 1. R3 vs the Bulldogs. 2. Goose's Injury. 3. 1st Quarter vs North. 4. ...

Apparently Croad and Bateman both trained this morning.

Hawthorn had 4 at York Park so I reckon they are doing Ok.

True. However I'm sure the 12 games at the MCG makes up for that. They only played 4 games away from the MCG, TD or Aurora.

Some clown rang up SEN and suggested that a certain hawthorn player missed training due to a third strike.

Fourth.

St.Kilda's achievement of 1 million fans through the gates is far greater than that of the other four clubs to achieve this, as despite us having played 25 games after Saturday night, none of Hawthorn, Collingwood, Essendon or Carlton have had to play at Carrara or the capacity reduced SCG. Further ...

Although it seems likely that Ball will miss, keep in mind that not once this year has a Saints player coming back from injury failed to take his spot in the side when named.

It appears as though our fitness and finishing has been better this year than any other in the recent past. The extra funding allocated to this area seems to be worth it, particularly in the latter half of the year. If indeed it has improved then it will really show through this week. Despite a brui...
