Even so, they will be lucky to get the draft picks right. The've blown several already.

Naughton is a hell of a lot better player than Caminiti, Membery and Sharman combined.

For the last 10 damn years we've been crying out for midfield development and every year it's still our achilles heel. What do you expect from a stupidly run club that goes out to recruit a cooked Hannebery on a huge 5 year contract, instead of identifying and bringing on new talent. What successful...

Incredibly embarrassing to watch this.
Many look flat footed and way too reactive.
Sorry to say but Membrey has had his time and Jones should be playing for Sandringham if this team is fair dinkum about improving for the future.

Seriously we are such a ridiculously frustrating team to watch! Go on and win the damn game now!!

What the hell do you see in Bonner Lyon?? He's a dud. Stop giving major roles to cooked recycled players ffs!

I know it's early days but Lyon's selection table decisions are making me think more and more that he's all talk and not much substance.
Mind boggling team structure out there today.

Game lost in part at the selection table by Lyon and the match ups. Can't play Sharman, Membrey and Caminiti in the same team. All 3 are slow, one-dimensional players, two of them far too slow for the modern game and their second efforts are non-existent. If a Port Adelaide reject in Bonner can get ...

Fantastic news!!
Lethlean should NEVER have been appointed as CEO, let alone General Manager of Football or COO.
Successful clubs/organizations do not have people of his calibre running the show.
Good riddance!!

Not overpaid at Melbourne They get a 155 game player who averages 20ppg for 250k We get to pay 250k for zero - in fact for Jack to play against us It’ll be fkn hilarious if he kicks a few goals against us - and we are paying him!!! Mismanaged list Lol as long as it’s not 25 out straight in front I’...

All that's needed to be asked is why Lyon was so keen to let him go, regardless of having 2 years left on his contract. The reality is Billings showed very little upside to his game for a number of years now. Lyon and his new coaching staff didn't take long to see through him. A very overrated playe...

He knows how to acknowledge his mates.

Nice one Sincs.

He sure did. Sincs is all class and humble too.

No takers for Billings according to an SEN report. Is anyone truly surprised by that? With the big $$ he's fortunate to have been paid by St Kilda to date, relative to his unremarkable on-field return, Billings should be taking a leaf out of his mate Jack Sinclair's book, working his backside off a...

Collingwood is the club we love to hate but unfortunately we're so far behind them, in terms of professionalism and list management. Look at how many finals games they've played in since winning the 2010 GF against us and now, another GF win to add to their collection. St Kilda, on the other hand, h...

He is but will also be 31 years old at the start of the 2024 season.

RIP Kevin 'Cowboy' Neale. A sad day for the club.
My clan said he was a tremendous footballer and a complete gentleman.

Frustrating in the fact that he never wanted to leave We axed him He is playing in a preliminary final We absolutely did not need to include him in an already exorbitant price for Brad Hill It was a shocking trade This sure was a shocking trade. Add the incomprehensible Hannebery deal also by the m...

Who can tell maybe he’s uncoachable and runs his own race. This was the point I was going to make. He appears to have licence to roam with Carlton which he'd never get under Ross. If you go back to our threads on him when he played for us, I'm sure his tackle count would have come up. I could sum u...

Well it’s pretty clear he has deficiencies as two clubs have been happy for him to go. Who can tell maybe he’s uncoachable and runs his own race. Is Max Gawn without faults. Is Brad Hill without faults. Plays out of his skin in both finals. Critical with defensive actions last week... Blake saved C...

Billings wants out The club was so much better to Billings than what he was to the club. Managed to get paid very handsomely and way over what he was worth. His manager couldn't find another club to pay anywhere near the big $$ former contract he was given, which was based on expectation rather tha...

Pedestrian midfields get found out always in finals.

One thing's for sure, whatever transpires in this last quarter, nothing will make me feel as crap as the 2009 and 2010 GF losses....

Oh well. We had a chance, failed to capitalise. Way too many passengers today, get rid of some dead weight over the off-season, and with some natural improvement from the youngsters, we should be better next year 👍 No Dud. The ball use and skill set between the 2 sides has been poles apart so far.

OMG that effort from Cordy. True ability and class gets shown up in a final. We are a farce!

You need to be better than that Hill!
