Fair Point. He is a one trick pony, but its a very important trick if you can quell elite small forwards 100%, those that rate possessions out of the back half, only need to understand the importance of a lock down, defensive minded defender. Starcevich was lit up the week before, but they won. Thi...

is why St Kilda need to hold on to Paton.

Makes our recruiting judgement call on Hayden McLean, in our own backyard, look sillier and sillier. Definitely a moneyball call, little risked for a, fingers crossed, big gain but 25 seems to be pushing the envelope.

Operation get Blighty Mini should be firing on all cylinders right now. Need to get him to the Saints, in some capacity. How do we do that and who needs to move to make it happen? Why? I agree. Why? Because he took a premiership player ridden team to a position outside the 8. I don't get the logic....

Thanks TRITH for the reply and the organisation of it.

Congrats Gershwin. It's a great night.

Did the Saintsational Sponsorship 2023 receive tickets to the B&F? If so, was a raffle run?

My apologies if there's been a thread that I've missed.

Only take him if he brings his brother. The brother is a gun, Xavier is average IMO. Xavier is the Tony Brown in the Smith, Jones, Brown trilogy to Roozee, Butters, Duursma. The other two are very good and he is well below them. Yes! A.K.A. The Cloke Phenomenon Great comparison to Smith, Jones &...

Rest in Peace great man. A true St Kilda legend.

Dud, I would have thought in St Kilda's celebrated history there are coaches with worse records, so why highlight Ratten? Very true. He’s only there now as the last person to hold the title, once someone else worthy comes along I can switch it over. To be honest I don’t get the issue. There are ple...

well done saints on a great year! start of a special era.

+ ONE in votes & sentiment!

Cheers Sainters!!!

Who really cares now? It's only going to be another example / scenario that's ignored or adhered to, given the player or club involved.

Dud,

Mr Perspective.

A fair journey to go through to get to a final on the G.

Thanks for posting the link.

As Kid Caminiti wasn't named in the emergencies, is that a fine for the Club?

I know the fine is irrelevant as this is a final and about structure whilst also paling into insignificance in relation to Membrey's health.

Simply interested as to why name emergencies at all?

Hoping he fights through whatever is ailing him. Strength to his recovery.

That's a very suspect team to take into a final. Got a bad feeling about this now. Why so? It is probably our fullest list for the year. Byrnes or Stocker as sub Clark and Ross in the 22 will be important for contesting the midfield. Don't ask. Please! He's transparent & boring & horribly w...

I agree that he's a dog but does not deserve any time off for that, regardless of how much time I wish he could get.

The head is not truly sacrosanct and most players who are in line for Mark of the Year or the atrempted ones, are testament to those. I feel for Clark and his injuries but I am yet to be convinced it was anything other than a football action that caused them. Someone who protected themselves better ...

Bedford is no Baker. We know that now.

Does this alter selection, is Paton a chance?

Possession (apparently) is 9 tenths of the selection policy. Until it isn't. Lyon’s selection policy has always been that if a player does what he asks then to do, and gives 100%, they keep their spot. In general it’s a good policy, but it can be criticised for sometimes favouring hard workers over...
