What critical mistake did he make game day? I remember the crap personal issues in the week leading up to the GF, but can't remember the critical mistake. I do remember sitting there glum faced whilst Jarman went mental in the last QTR and the funereal walk down Brunton Ave afterwards. Alves made s...

Not sure they want to double the amount of games on grounds I reckon they want to protect the surfaces! Indeed. With 10 teams split between two venues, you’d be effectively making it 20 teams on two venues. With that said, I wish we went chips in on a standalone St Kilda team at Moorabbin. If Foots...

TBBO is no good for our seconds It’s too small, can’t play the same way, runners have no room there is no space for transition and forwards have FA room Only players who can get a kick at Sandy are inside Mids and half backs They should move VFL games to Moorabbin or the odd one as a curtain raiser...

I'm warming to Stack. I was originally against it - but I think Ross has always fancied himself to turn players around. He didn't get there with Harley Bennell, but he did with many others - Dawson, McQualter, Raph Clarke and even Stephen Milne didn't play his best footy until Ross came along. What ...

I'd be pretty happy for him to move to Essendon, to be honest.

Reminds me a bit of Goddard. Decision-making when he is “on” is potentially elite and disposal first-rate. Just needs to be “on” most of the time. Hope he gets a good run at it. Not the worst call. Goddard was a very hesitant early on. But he fixed that by his 3rd year and was a gun by his 4th year...

Yep. Just ride out the storm, if indeed you can even call it that. I think it's genuinely exciting.

Look at Collingwood - crisis to crisis, and now look like they're on track for huge success with a great list and a great coach.

Things move very fast, folks.

Stack has the talent, undoubtedly. He could be best 22 at every club at his best. I don't know him personally so can't speak to his personality but he's clearly an unreliable prospect. Someone WILL punt on him, however. He's just got too much talent to overlook and the Stengle experiment will have e...

He didn't do a lot wrong, he gave his all. His issue was that he was a midfielder trapped in a KPP's body and he couldn't work out how to bridge the gap. He could have been a decent hybrid defender. I'm glad we gave him a go. He wasn't far off at all. But he did make mistakes under pressure and didn...

The excitement around the club that would arise from Ross's return is undeniable.

We could be looking at 70,000 members next year.

Imagine if we get off to a hot start and carry it through to September. Anything is possible.

GT and Lyon had one thing in common: they got the players believing they could win. Doesn't matter how good you are if you don't believe you can win. And if you do believe, anything's possible - look at the doggies' flag. GT got them believing in themselves, Lyon got them to believe in his game pla...

I feel like 2-3 years of Lyon will prevent us from collapsing into a total and utter basketcase, which is what we're on the precipice of. I genuinely believe there's probably not a Craig McRae out there waiting to come in. Lyon is a plug-and-play option. We slot him in, he gets to work, we will inst...

As I posted on another thread, not Yze: we’ve had enough of the Clarkson tradition. I reckon Enright looks like he has the makings of a terrific coach. It would be a bold and exciting move, and I like those. He comes from the current gold standard setup at the Cats. The quality of the guy is such t...

1. Ross Lyon The optimal fit for this list. With so many players in that 22-26 range, we need to get someone who can organise the group and accelerate us towards the top end of the ladder. Would much more make us competitive, instantly. Would prevent us falling into further mediocrity. 2. Nathan Bu...

GT was really impressive. He spoke with clarity about what went wrong, how to fix it and what we need to do next.

Don’t worry about the names he’s put up, I don’t think they were anything other than just some spitballing and, if anything, a bit of a bum steer.

I can't recall ever feeling further away from a flag than I do right now.

I couldn't agree with Walsh more.

He wasn't just accurate, he was bang on. My only regret is that he didn't go harder.

Otherwise we're set for another decade of 11th, 9th, 17th, 18th, 14th, 15th and 13th.

Who wants that? Not me. Not now. Not ever.

Enough with the mediocrity.

My simple ask for 2023 is for us to be Feared and Revered This can only happen if the On Field performances are subject to a Football First mentality We need our players to Sweat RW&B and our Board to support them to the hilt - no matter the cost!!! For this to become a reality would first requ...

Some OK delisted FAs D.Roberton T.Membrey You look at all players and ALL avenues Exactly. The lack of awareness in this space is mindblowing. DFA’s often represent really good value. We’re probably paying Mason Wood about $120,000 and he’s cracked our best 22 after being delisted by the worst team...

The Weed seems like a pretty ordinary player. Has never kicked 20 goals in a season and couldn't establish himself as a starting forward in a side with a dominant midfield. Not sure he offers much more than Sharman or Hayes. He would certainly offer more than Sharman, no doubt about that. Way more ...

Narkle will - in the right environment - become a very good player. I hope it’s with us. I hope we’re right into Esava, too. No doubt he has the skills & tricks, but what is the right environment if he can't make it work at the Cats? Consistency of opportunity is the key to his development. Pla...

In his new role, Rath will oversee St Kilda's assistant coaches, development coaches and football analysts. He will also be in charge of game plan, coach education and development, training, player skill acquisition, training analytics, game analysis and IT, leadership and player development. After...

We have learnt nothing from the past- lets fill our list spots with fringe or delisted players Having advocated very strongly that we go for Jarryd Lyons and Ben Keays when they were both delisted, I'd say Narkle is in that category. They both turned out very well. When talent is there, you need to...

Bowes is in our best 22 and he offers the one thing we lack - excellent disposal. I think he's going to come out all guns blazing to show what he's worth next year. I have no dramas in us targeting Saints fans: Connor Rozee, Ben King, Jack Bowes, Max Holmes, Eric Hipwood (literally, his parents got ...
