Bloody Podsiadly an Judd have created thus impression that the best players tae to it right away.

I bet half of you guys would have delisted Goddard, Monty etc after 2 years

For a first year player in a team that finished outside the 8, I think he did ok as a forward and I would like to see more of what he has to offer next season

I aint going to knock him but he is far from a first year player. He has played about 5 years in the AFL.

The only way he'd work in defense is if he's the extra man with no no accountable opponent - goddard


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

I can see Wilkes kicking 40 to 50 goals if given a second string forward role every week. He probably won't ever win a coleman but is pretty decent as an extra tall. Lee probably won't play a full year as he's been out of the system awhile and will probably struggle for the first year because of the fitness base he's coming off. Rhys needs to be handled carefully too and Kosi might get his mojo back now he won't be expected to ruck but you would expect him to be pushed out more and more. I can see us rolling quite a few combos into the forward line next year with Roo probably better off not being the go to guy every week. So Beau may benefit from the changes more than most.

Agree. Wilkes has some work to do in the off season.
