Anyone heard anything? Are we into anyone? I really hope we go hard at a big name player at the end of the year.

Daisy Thomas? Dustin Martin?? Who's out there!

Lets start spending that cash!

Eddie Betts


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

We dont need pissy fwds, we need a gun mid or a big key back.

Betts and Nahas would be good with Milney retiring and saad in trouble. Excellent pickups.

I'd take Betts for 300k if we could train him to work in the midfield and Nahas on minimum wage which I think is 80k...not sure what I'd train Nahas to do.

I'd like to hear that ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has been leaked by our club prior to any deals being done during Trade Week. I say; Let Pelchen & Bains give us all a few pleasant surprises !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

That's a good point. We'll need a new one if Kosi retires

If we don't explore this avenue of improving the list.... Absolutely negligent!

I wouldnt waste our time getting a FA this season. There is only about 4 players worth getting and they are all over 26 years of age. They will be well over thirty when we are ready to challenge for the 8. I suggest we wait until the next year or two. I see us being bottom or second bottom in the next 2 years which will give is great draft picks, a top pre season pick and then we can attack the FA. 3 or 4 good players in one or two years can make a huge difference. Thats what happened in 2000 and 2001.

sounds like a plan to me


I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.

How about we get rid of 3 small forwards and Clint Jones… get ourselves 2 full backs for the sake of structure, we have none… That would at least give our medium defenders a chance to play on a guy less than 10cm taller…

We need a mature back next year, not in 3 years or we will be slaughtered X4 that we are seeing this year… we have the cap space, so we need to do the best we can.

I didnt say we cant get a FB. I said it isnt owrth getting a FA and I dont think there are any FB available as FA anyway. Surely there are mature FB who are only 22 or 23 years of age.

If the rumours are true then he could keep the other players' wives pretty happy.

Makes a lot of sense when you put it like that actually.
