Thanks Simon for your service to the club
Leading the saints is not a simple task
Over the years (not just last 12 months) I found your tenure at the club provided stability & left me feeling the club was in a safe hands
Best wishes for your future career.

Don't believe anything that is written by shock jock Rupert Murdoch press - as normal there are no facts & full of hate about a progressive project/servive that the saints are providing.

The club statement provides facts & sums up the situation

Happy new year to all sainters From a list perspective, what are the biggest questions/issues for Ross (and coaches) to deal with in 2024. For me 1 - how will RTB play/mentor both Owens & Phillipou in 2024 with a focus of course for the next 15 years Throw in the deep end in 2024 or allow furthe...

Great day at the footy on Saturday - the last qtr into the wind was saints footy at its best The sainter sitting next to me said it was the best saints win for the year including AFL/AFLW - it was exciting It wasn't looking great at 0-3, however agree that this years recruits have made a significant...

A friend attended a Saints business briefing seminar mid year where Gubby Allen spoke to his experiences as a recruiter & also drafting plans for the Saints Most enlightening i was told Gubby's words did reflect getting the best young talent through the doors, however there was significant empha...

In think you have nailed this Otiman

Midfield first.....I think a young ruckman is becoming more important & could/should be looked at with 21 or 40

Hopefully Van Es can develop as a key back & Keeler as a key forward.

Positive news of the administration of our club
Having a stable, experienced administration is so important - you just have to look at our history for a reason for lack of success

25 years involved in elite sport
Has worked with Ross before
9 months learning the caper
I thing a great appointment

So given a few recent departures…..so who will be allocated some of the most iconic saints numbers 1, 2, 4 Are some of the young brigade ready Owens - already 10 NAS - already 7 Windhsger - already 17 Phillipou - already 25 Would Marshall drop to a low number - yes from me Sharman? Caminiti - not yet

It does not matter who wares the saints strip of red black and white
Tears from me!!
Followed the game on net - watched the last qtr

What a goal from molly McDonald

Oh yes shanegrambeau - the 1978 season, remember it well & i was also 14 (big birthday this year) The South game earlier in the year at Lake Oval was after we beat Essendon in a brutal encounter at Moorabbin. The Dons president came out in the week following & said "we played like anima...

The 2nd year player that Ross "cuddled" would have to have been either Oscar Adams - young SA country boy. Does he have the dedication & drive to succeed? Jack Hayes - no doubt difficult at a footy club with a serious injury after a serious injury Other second year players Nasiah Wanga...

RTB "We are here....we are not going anywhere....we are still hungry to win one" "If i am connected anywhere...it is St Kilda" We have the right person to lead our club (or he is a wonderful actor & should head to Hollywood). He is saying all of the right things. I think he s...

Talking about rumour & "what he said" I work next door to a guy who has know RTB for many years & does talk often - no reason not to believe him Confirming that RTB is confident for the Freo match & believes "Freo are getting ahead of themselves" i am happy to support...

Puff piece - however all good news & he appears to be in a good place. It will be interesting to see how & where he is played - whether more through the middle. Operating table to trade table to fresh start: The Saint due for a change of fortune Michael Gleeson ByMichael Gleeson March 5, 202...

Note the young talls on our list that are yet to play a game Potential key position fillers either forward or down back My language 196 is just over 6 ft 4 - a good size for key position Oscar Adams - 197cm Matt Allison - 195cm James Van Es - 197cm Isaac Keeler - 198cm Anthony Caminiti - 196cm Lets ...

Went walking this morning & noted the ground surface is not up to scratch for VFL footy Surface was bumpy, missing grass in lots of places, patchy with some new turf laid, goal square surface appalling, rock hard & dusty Matches will begin in March? Simply not good enough for VFL players, le...

Josh Eyer - 195cm = 6ft 5

Matt Allison - 195cm = 6ft 4

Hopefully one or both can improve & contribute

So 4 players taken in the draft
1 player as CatB rookie

So are there any further spots on the list for other players to be taken prior to start of season?
There was talk of Liam Stocker training with saints to earn a spot

Sorry but who is RCD?

Actions this week
- give Goddard a call
- give Misson a call
