for showing loyalty to St Kilda
LEIGH Montagna is pledging his future to St Kilda by agreeing to a contract extension after massive interest from Essendon during the trade period.

Montagna, 30 last week, joined Nick Dal Santo and Nick Riewoldt in contemplating leaving St Kilda last month.

But while Montagna was at one stage keen to join Brendon Goddard at the Dons they had little to trade for him and St Kilda would not let him go.

........................., he will join captain Riewoldt in adding another year to a contract expiring at the end of 2014.

left it too late to edit
But he was more forthcoming about the new deals for Dal Santo and Riewoldt.

"It is fair to say we are looking at extensions for both Nick and Leigh. Both are extremely important players to our club and we are looking forward to them playing out their careers at the Saints,'' he told the Herald Sun.

"Nick (Riewoldt) has been a champion of this club and his leadership both on and off the field is critical to us going forward. He had an outstanding season, and we are confident he has a significant amount of good football left in him."

Ralh getting lots of info from being friendly

but should have had an editor check the names.....

I think Jon Ralph is my new favourite journo. Some interesting info in there. Great that Nick and Leigh are recommitting.

Also the first media report confirming that both were also keen for Watters to go.

Whilst you should never believe everything you read in newspapers, especially from the HUN renowned for ignorant fascist rantings from "convicted criminals", the sentence, "But while Montagna was at one stage keen to join Brendon Goddard at the Dons they had little to trade for him and St Kilda would not let him go" does not fill me with joy about Leigh staying and being given our thanks because of it.

It makes you think Watters must have been extremely toxic. One player might get ruffled feathers but so many stalwarts wanting out is unusual.

It does sound like things were toxic with Watters at the helm and that the club was heading for oblivion if he wasn't quickly removed however Dermott Brereton reckons we stuffed up and are a joke and will never win another flag and he was a very good footballer so he must be respected because he knows a lot more about football than any of us do or for that matter ever will.

You should be educating young minds with that kind of solid logic.

Besides you should watch yourself, I'm not sure you have earned the right to use the name Dermie. He is kind of a god you know.

I'm not saying that Watters was great but you have to think that there is a bit of spin there?

How bad was this guy?

I thought Nick & Leigh wanting to leave was total BS...

They must have really loved Scotty.

Are you being flippant?

I thought it was BS but I didn't think they loved him either.

If only I had listened to Foiney.

I wonder if they were worded up around trade time, and told the Dwarf was being burnt at the stake?

You could well be right, but why let Dal go? We certainly could not afford to let all 3 go, or a membership explosion would have followed!

I find that very strange... They didn't want to give Montagna any more than a 2 year deal 18 months ago... And now he is 30 the are effectively giving him a 3 year deal?

You'd have to think Richo is true to his word and keen to extend the senior players careers. I think this is a good move from player management.


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