Word is on social media that Bassat let it slip that we already have a new coach and then Lethelen corrected him and said no we don’t. Seems to me that the Lyon train is gathering steam I am struggling to understand why anyone would think/contemplate that Ross Lyon is the answer to our current pred...

The CEO in July asks the Football boss: What do you think? should we sign Ratts on for an extra 2 years Lethlean says to Finnis; Yeah sure…. Then he states in the presser just now ( when he is officially the new CEO) that he was integral in the decision to sack him? How the fk does that make any se...

Glad you're not making the decision on who our next coach should be.

From that discussion, it's clear Thomas has been in conversations with people at the club in recent months. When asked about a new coach he said coaching selection processes were for "people who don't know what they're doing" . He said you should identify the best and go out and get them....

I am super glad the St Kilda Football Club erased any doubts about where, how and why the team ended up out of the eight in season 2022. Never fear. We remain very much in the premiership window despite not playing finals footy nor even looking like we’d be good enough. I mean, what other inference...

We didn't have a player of Dunkley's quality walk out. Nor the quality of Horne-Francis, Hopper, Taranto, Jackson, Grundy, Hunter, Rankine. We didn't give away a top 10 draft pick for nothing like Gold Coast. Nor did we lose talented youngsters like Bruhn and Henry, or a key position player like Lo...

Oh, the hand wringing and moaning. Most of those players were never going to come to us for a host of reasons. get over it. Should we just trade for players for the sake of it? Now we just wait for the next round of kicking the club and everyone in it from the usual naysayers With good reason. Happ...

I know Hunter had his fair share of injuries but would be interested to know what has gone wrong behind the scenes for him to want to leave?

Let's be clear about this.

St Kilda is not a sleeping giant.

Far from it.

We're a very unsuccessful football club and have been for some considerable time.

I'm sure your intentions were good but it is still way off the mark.

According to social media, Ben Long has requested a trade to the Gold Coast Suns.

Not surprised but disappointed.

What are we likely to get as a return?

If we trade or lose Hill, Billings, Gresham, Long, Bytel, Byrnes and Clark, we will be a certainty for the bottom four on the ladder in 2023.

Talk about f****** madness.

At what point did we ever have Hannebery? Asking for a friend.

With two games to go, our season is well and truly defined by one word: disappointment. What a surprise. In fact it’s the defining word for our club. The only thing we are good at and the only thing we can deliver in spades. Sure as hell ain’t a premiership. So how come when we looked like a prospec...

Often the first players we are critical of when they don’t dominate and I’m not sure everyone appreciates to difficulty of the role Let me tell you, it’s a position that is extremely difficult to be consistent in You must stay in structure and forward of the ball (can’t go kick chasing!) You rarely...

A genuine question although I suspect I know the answer already. In theory, yes. In reality, it's complicated. The way we played against Fremantle, second half, you certainly wouldn't pick us to win any of our remaining games. Assuming we improve, again based more on hope than anything, we should be...

Watch out for Hugo Hall-Kahan from Sandy Dragons…likely to be picked up by us if still available!! We are definitely interested. The Saints tried to get him under academy rules but we got knocked back by the AFL. However, the club would have to be extremely lucky to get him in the mid season draft....

Ok. This deserves to be talked about. A lot. One of the best quarters of footy I've seen us play. Seven unanswered goals is an extraordinary achievement but to do it against a side as good as Geelong, a team we have not beaten since 2016, is just sensational. I'm in two minds in determining what or ...

I don't want to sound like a harbinger of doom, but we are a better football team with Ryder in it than not. He makes a huge difference and will be sorely missed. And he is in great form at the moment. He makes a difference even if he doesn't play four full quarters of footy. It will be great to get...

saynta wrote: ↑Mon 04 Apr 2022 11:19am Was important to win. To win a Maddie's match even more so.

Sure. But it was like there were two st kilda footy teams. The one before half time and the one after. And each bears little to no resemblance to the other.

It's crazy.

It seems an absurd question to be asking in round 4 of the competition but here we are. Seriously, I do not understand our footy team. At all. We are putrid for two and half quarters and then sensational. How can this be ? It doesn't make sense. Any team that can turn a 25 point deficit into a 33 po...

What do others think??

NO.

A thousand times no. He is one of our best players. And certainly no elephant in any room.

I know I'll get shouted down for this but FFS Zak Jones, where are you? What could possibly be so wrong that you can't get on the park to play the game that so handsomely rewards you? I heard your brother on the radio this afternoon stating that while you were "tracking well" or something...

As you asked, I'd answer no. The McCartin selection was worse epitome-wise, I think. Fortunately, as a result, all of those concerned have now left the club or in Finnis' case about to leave. That debacle precipitated, at great cost, a revival of Saint Kilda from President to coach to recruiting. B...

What makes all this go away is wins and proof our list is capable of finals. The problem is I'm not hearing any optimism about this list even from our enclave of fans who wear the rosiest of coloured glasses. Can someone have a go at spinning a convincing argument regarding our finals chances in th...
