Not sure where that's got us.
Pelchen said McEvoy, BJ and Nick dal had to go in order to improve the list.
We have to turn over the list each year to find the right dynamic

Re: Richo looks to get aggresive at 2017 trade table

Richo being aggressive.? Ha.
The man's a weird bugger.

A lot of selections are puzzling.
Mav. Big ??? there.
Bringing in Long twice.
Not giving White a decent go.
Not letting Battle have another game.

Don't believe his spin.
He's a weird cat.

Re: List cloggers.....who are they?

If you're worried about Koby, I think he's more than made up for Armo. He gets the ball a lot, competes well, tries to kick or hb to advantage, and we are lucky he's in the middle. I think he stays and he's valuable, not just as depth. Surround him with skill like Martin or Kelly, and watch him get ...

Re: Farewell Lonie

Wow, this is very negative. Sure, he hasn't had a great season and has been on the fringe the whole time. But to bag him out like this, right at the end of the season is very harsh. Every footy coach in the damn world knows that you give players several chances and "turn the list over" by...

What an absolute spud of a player. Useless yet again. Not that I'm surprised. Should be delisted tomorrow, but instead will be contracted until 2019.

Re: 3 Points Worth 82 Points

If St Kilda had scored only 3 more points we would have finished 10th on the ladder instead of 11th. That would have cost us draft pick 8 (1551 draft points) down to draft pick 9 (1469 draft points) Those draft points being before AFL adjustments due to free agency compensations and the impact of q...

Re: Team for Round 23 V Tigers

i have doubts on Lonie, but he's definitely worth perservering with. Age and proper training will give him a more solid build. Way too early to write him off.

I am not sure of the time when our final team needs to be lodged but Essendon start at 13:10 and we at 15:20. If Fremantle does NOT beat Essendon we are just playing a practice match. We should know by half time if Fremantle is trying or tanking. If so then Rice and White play. Not tanking, just no...
