Menzel, Paddy and two Jacks.

DAN MENZEL

Now virtually certain to stay at Geelong on a new deal after St Kilda withdrew its pursuit of the Cats forward. The Saints need more quality in their front half, but have thrown out the Menzel plans.

PATTY MCCARTIN AND JACK BILLINGS

St Kilda has made clear through Alan Richardson it won’t be trading McCartin, contracted until the end of 2020, while Billings made clear on Monday he wasn’t interested in moving clubs despite a disappointing year.

JACK STEVEN

Steven asked the hard questions of coach Alan Richardson at his exit meeting — ie. Are we in a rebuild phase again?

He was told in no uncertain terms there was no rebuild, and so won’t leave.

After Geelong’s interest was knocked on the head another club also inquired but was also told he wasn’t going anywhere.

His manager Peter Lenton told the Herald Sun Steven would stay at St Kilda next year and honour his contract.




Great news all round.

Interesting.

What does the fact that JS thinks that we might be rebuilding really say about the state of our list?

Well it probably indicates that the club hasn’t thrown the baby out with the bath water just yet. Things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem. Biggest loss for the season was only 54 points. There is a bit to work with. The way the team move the ball forward and finish off is the obvious problem. Never cashing in on long periods of dominance during matches and then getting done at the other end. Hopefully the penny drops for some of the younger guys and the off field shake up changes some our structures dramatically.

The Melbourne match at the MCG is a game they should be looking at. St Kilda played with dash and flair that day. It was great to watch. Bottle that type of footy.

Things at the club are turning in the right direction.

Add Shiel or Wingard plus a couple more coaches...

We just need to find 4 first rounders.

Sounds legit.

I still want to look forward to the 2019 season. We’ll know pretty early next year which way it’s going to go.

[skeptic]

Surely that means a no to King correct?

[skeptic]

And what kind of journalist goes to print with Patty McCartin

Me too and and we can only hope for the best Wilko, because that is all we can do.

I will do my best not to intentionally rain on anyone’s parade, but no promises..

I think it tells us that he feels the list is fine.

He wanted assurance that they were NOT rebuilding again.

[desertsaint]

if we aren't rebuilding it means the club needs to nail a few very good trades.

Not suggesting I was right but I certainly didn't interpret it that way either, Foxy Trot.

I’m confused

Isn’t Billings to Essendon a done deal?

Thank God. Menzel is NOT that good a player.
