Essendon don’t have a cap issue tho Perhaps Essendon take gresh as reported we get first round But we get Shiel for 0 salary cap impact in 24 but have to give the pick back Essentially Shiel for $0 impact allowing us to hit the FA elsewhere Either that or we keep Shiel and his salary and give back ...

Over riding image in the media is that St KIlda are open to trade Gresham. How true is this? Because, if it is true, wouldn't Gresh be like, 'Well, they don't really love me too much"?? And then what? Trains his arse off over summer? Hires a sports psych? Doubt it. THoughts? It's gone well pas...

What is in it for Essendon? They get like for like on the salary front. They get rid of a VFL list clogger. They do get Gresham for free. Gresham is a big winner - salary wise Offsiding the AFL on the technicalities of the rules is a downside. Essendon have their eye on that first round pick What's...

Someone mentioned Hugo Ralphsmith. Is he worthy? Pretty sure his old man played for the Saints not that it's of any significance. I read the same op. The thinking is someone like Ralphsmith's run and carry would free Sinclair to move into the midfield. Maybe that is what the club is thinking. I'm s...

Is what I’m hearing The word is Gresham - gone Clark - gone Billings- gone Coffield - gone Jones - gone Howard - maybe gone? About 4 kids gone too Adams, Allison, Connolly, Bytel In Dow, J Silvagni, and a buck of 3rd and 4th rounders I am at a loss as to why you’ve been so strongly criticised for v...

Steely is STILL a few weeks away.

RTB says Steele will definitely play against the Blues.

Mason Wood is in superlative form. I can understand he’s regarded as an essential part of our best 22. He was a good contributor on Saturday night but it’s readily apparent his shoulder injury is troubling him. I was watching him closely and he frequently grimaced with pain. He and the coaches have ...

Anderson yes, but Rowell was beaten. Yes, that's how it looked to me too. And it's also how it looked on the stats sheet: which is an overrated indicator, but surely matters with in-and-under guys like Rowell. He had 12 disposals, compared to Anderson's 38 and Miller's 31. He did lay 7 tackles, but...

I predicted something like this (although not 4 wins in a row) after watching our pre-season outing against the Bombers. Our backline - which we already knew was bloody good - looked even better with NWM in a key role: notwithstanding his tendency to make quite a few fumbles and misdirected kicks (...

Ok. So next week will be a real litmus test but seriously, where the hell has this come from? Ok so I understand we have better coaches, better system etc but half the team in looking AA ATM. Was the list just not as bad as we thought it was? Most folks had us bottom 6-4. We look Top 4 easy at this...

Cannot stress enough how bad the suns are. They will go close to last this year, they were pitiful. They aren’t bad. Inconsistent is better. Last night they didn’t stop trying. The tall kid in the ruck was good as was Anderson, Rowell and Miller. If they’d maintained their first Q effort for four q...

I was at the game. Here is my take. This was a good old fashioned walloping. We put them to the sword. From the opening bounce it was clear the Suns were never going to win. The Saints were slow to begin, and the Suns managed to stay with us for the first quarter. But this team needs space to operat...

Oh man, that pre-match entertainment was fantastic, really good introduction, paying respects to past players, heroes and ordinary, the diehard supporters who are the heartbeat of St Kilda FC, and then the build up to Dan Sultan and Alex lahey performing 'Owen', followed by a whole lot more musicia...

A lot of column space in this place has, quite rightly, been devoted to the footballers who run on and present each week. Posters have drawn attention to the mighty contributions from the up and comers and from some unlikely sources like Mason Wood. Clearly some of the young guys such as Owens, Wind...

I thought he was poor. Wow In what regard, because that is a pretty big statement I watched him closely all night and he was the only reason I wanted Lions to win. Very disappointing game from him. Played to loose on his man for my liking and too slow. getting caught a few times with the ball in ha...

No footy team is an infinite resource. The Saints have been magnificent in carrying the injury load inflicted on the club, almost exclusively because of bad luck. But when does that luck run out? Has it already? I can’t help feeling the injury to our Captain, our best player and all round work horse...

Just goes to show how we poor, miserable, desperate, success-deprived Saints supporters will hail as an answer to our prayers the recruitment of a player that no-one has ever heard of..... :lol: :roll: Guess time will tell if Caminiti is going to make the grade, great if he does. I think you were s...

A lot is being made of how RTB will approach the job second time around. Understandable. He coached us before. Left in unfortunate circumstances. Now he is back. Maybe he’s changed. Maybe he hasn’t. Maybe it will be for a short honeymoon and back to the old Ross we know and didn’t much care for. My ...

I predict there'll be some on here extracting their tongues out of his bumhole soon enough when reality bites Could be some knives wanting to be inserted in his back next year rather than any extracting going on I don't see it that way at all (even though I'm still sceptical as to whether RL can re...

A question. You mentioned a couple of the newbies. Wondering how the rest of them are doing? Mattaes P for example?

Has anyone looked at this kid's highlight reel?

I know a highlight reel can be a bit misleading in defining worth, but this kid looks like a jet.

Fast, evasive, good mark and kicks goals. Exciting.
