Aggressive trading to get up in draft - North have no big defenders Howard to north with pick swap in first round ( an example of what we need to do) So we then they have a big defender and we don’t? (I don’t think Cordy really counts: he is a utility player and is a bit shorter than Dougal) I assu...

I look at it like this following Stkilda is like running a marathon, suffering the pain as the kms get harder and harder, thinking will it ever end, imagining the joy and exhilaration that will be felt when your finish and with 500 metres left... snapping an Achilles collapsing unable to move and f...

How many players currently aged 25 and under do you see being regulars making a solid contribution in 2026 and which positions do weed need to fill when considering that group? 25 and under Regulars: Windy Nas Clark higgins Owens King Battle Poo Henry Too early to tell Wilson Hastie Garcia Collard ...

I think the forwards cop a lot for the appalling delivery they get provided with . King I thought was so much better this week, Membrey is our hit up forward and does the grunt work ( which many ignore) up and back. Hayes was way off , again a victim of the game style perhaps. Hastie looked a step o...

I actually think yesterday is a representation of where the list currently sits. It is in a progression stage and progression isn't linear. If you look at the list: 1 -50 games - these guys will be inconsistent and will excite fans with promise. The earlier they show a bit the higher the expectation...

Consideration to team balance is important. Especially with Sandy I feel it is more about doing what RL wants to see than being in the best players - e.g. Shoenmaker - heaps of stats but also read needs to improve defending , which if true will be the mark to debut. In : Henry, Dow Out : Hastie (nee...

I think we all agree Saturday was an odd feeling - got a win , which is a new thing of recent times, however the expectation based more on North's poor performances rather than St Kilda's expected a bigger more dominant win. North have a good midfield and solid ruck, Larky can be good and Sheezel is...

As the Dullbogs game was a weird time for some I made an executive decision to leave the tix and do the Freo Game. The St Kilda Football Club is delighted to host you at The Lounge for our Round 10 Sir Doug Nicholls match against Fremantle in the Horizon Room. Soak in the Saints game day in style w...

i would hope he comes back through the 2s as not match fit, and you can train as much as you like it isn't the same

Saints have said they wont appeal and accepted the decision. What gets me is the person in charge of the tribunal ruled that Higgins had a responsibility to let go of the tackle in the split second the ball is kicked. THE MRO is appalling and the tribunal this year have followed suit with some baffl...

According to this article on the AFL website, our pressure over the last 2 weeks is the 8th worst recorded since this started being measured in 2010 https://www.afl.com.au/news/1119457/the-heat-is-off-st-kilda-saints-pressure-plummets-as-worrying-trend-emerges I can accept losing when the players l...

Xerri is a good player but any doubt i think Marshall gets a week rest and bring in Campbell. Assuming King comes in for Sharman, then perhaps make a call between Cama and Hayes playing as a forward and back up ruck Why would you drop Camaniti he has been good up forward there is no good reason not...

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, if we manage to fluke it and not get any more serious injuries. Potentially available over the next month : King Wood Clark Dow Webster Paton Hayes Of the above list King and Wood are the only automatic selections in the 1's Clark and Dow will push hard...

Perhaps Cordy or sharman as the sub. Seem very tall

FFS he was the youngest player in his draft year, and isn't the first player to struggle in their second year. Its not his fault he has been picked at times when performance wasn't great. His form is down and could do with a few weeks in the seconds , and perhaps we may have enough players available...

Having responded in another (strangely) titled thread in the last half hour can I just add to this thread that Older Saint is the most sensible contributor to this site Appreciate the love. Best thing i did was ban myself from posting for a minimum of 12 hours after a loss, otherwise might not soun...

I tend to this the former that last night was an outlier. Never before in this Lyon era have we been so bad, lacked effort and desire. 3 games in 11 days and 2 interstate trips, absolutely contributed, but we were appalling. I won't go as far as the Goose they had hosting on SEN after the game last ...

So Cameron gets a Good Bloke discount - now I have heard it all. Surely the AFL should, but won't appeal. yes he did it, yes it was at the low end and the guy not hurt , but every other bloke this year has been bad luck 1 week. Does this mean if say Ross gets reported he can get a discount too, what...

Reading the release from StKilda today re injuries etc. and the short break sounds like King out this week. Interesting position then as I think due to injuries mainly we have been top heavy the last 2 weeks with King, membrey, cama and Sharman(who has played wing in Woods role but only serviceable ...
