There is a lot happening but nothing I can report yet. Will give it to you as soon as I can. I can confirm that there were further picks in the McEvoy deal that is even stronger for us but that will not come to light until compensation for Buddy is announced by AFL. Thank you for checking back in, ...

Finances aren't great, but that's no surprise. Players are happy. The ones that are on the trade bait aren't over the moon but that's footy. Chill pill everyone. We're ok. Coach ok. Board ok. Do you get the drift ? Did drizzle a bit at the club today. But all cleared up. Thanks for the weather upda...

Supposedly the club sussed out Choco last week. Not sure for what, though. As a replacement for Laidley? & possibly take over some of Hutchinson's role? That would be fine by me. The source of today's Choco for Watters rumour (seemingly this BrianSpeaking chap plastered all over big footy and t...

Cut throat is better than nostalgic nice guys. Cut throat is fine if you have the cash. Right now we need to pay for, amongst other things, a top CEO (and some half decent players and a seconds team and ....) We can't seriously afford to recruit a new coach and pay out the current coach. I don't bu...

Something is cooking...just depends on whether they follow through. But rumours in this thread are certainly pointing the right sort of direction.. Any other clues? You'd be in a good position to know a few things. I'd like a clue as to which of the many rumours on this thread are "pointing in...

Change is never easy but change is constant and inevidable. How we deal with the change is what defines us.

Feel the same.

Ditto. Sob. Ditto.

heard him on trade radio no way am i tuning into that peanut station thats full of peanuts lets us know what he says :) AGREED! Here's the Trade Radio summary. I'm sure he'll say the same thing twice. No need to add to Bartlett's ratings ... "10.50am: St Kilda list manager Ameet Bains on Gille...

Interesting.

Sorry, I left out the "3". 3 first round picks. 2 down, I to go?

Chocko? I think I just fainted.

Please make all this noise stop.

Bains says Joey "categorically" is "off the table". Good.

Bains just said on radio strategy coming into trade period was to get first round picks.

Interesting.

Chris Pelchen told about 80 Platinum Members on 19 August that it was the club's intention to make a few difficult and unpopular decisions in order to get extra 1st Round picks over the next 2 years. I guess he is true to his word with this promise. How much further he goes this year and next year ...

I wonder what Watters thinks of Jolly? They would have overlapped 1 season, I think. Premiership player. How much?

The Radio Station? Or the Saintsational Poster?

I'd never diss a Saintsational poster (my own skin is WAY too thin ...)

Then again, never say never.

Kudos to jaxons.

Don't know what it is, and don't blame me if it's not big.

Hopefully it's a new CEO. With clout. And a list of people who want to give us money. Lots of it.

That would be Big News.

Emma Quayle tonight reporting some (highly qualified) interest in Everitt (Andrejs, that is). "Three clubs have inquired after out-of-contract Swan Andrejs Everitt, who is also likely to be forced out of the club after it finalised its mega-deal with Lance Franklin this week. St Kilda is unders...

Go Dal!


I mean, Stay Dal!

Given what I regard as a poor offer for Dal tonight, BUMP again!

I though this interesting too; I think it is the first time I've seen it expressly stated that Watters is in the pro-Dal camp (although admittedly the somewhat mixed messages on this issue were starting to look that way). "As it stands there appears to be disagreement within the St Kilda camp o...

Nice how they lead out with Dal.

I was trying to find out whether ASADA had moved forward on a hearing for Saady; I can't work out why there has been such a delay. A twitter search gives a clue, and for Saints fans starved on anything approaching a happy event at the club, here you go. https://twitter.com/ahmedsaad23 Looks like Saa...

Con, I don't think we're in disagreement. To use Niall's rhetoric, Rooey is part of the foundation on which the club now stands. "Among the rocks". Clearly so is Lenny. I would have put Dal there too but I don't want to start another argument about this. Then comes a proud recent history i...
