Re: St Kilda have only 7 players aged 29 or over
A couple of years back, on the back of not being overly successful in attracting high quality players from other Clubs and the realisation that the age demographic of the List was deficient historically, we went about recruiting players with experience at State League level Post Ratten, our younger ...

Re: Mason Wood
Callow, from North Launceston and mentioned by some on here, has, I am told, signed with a SANFL Club for season 2021
By extension therefore no AFL Club has been in discussion with him

Re: How far can the saints go?
If Marshall is a “gun” ruckman what does that make Ryder, who is a “gun” ruckman Marshall with his all round attributes is a potential “gun” forward with licence - and a handy back up ruckman We are very fortunate in having King and Marshall, both able to impact games due to their mobility and skill...

Re: Mason Wood
Given the general agreement on our "best 22", with the debate being between Ross and Sinclair to fill out that 22, what are the realistic prospects of anyone invited to join our List at this stage pushing aside any of the generally agreed 22? Yes, we need depth. But we are talking about de...

Re: The Seb Ross discussions
Expectations are put on all players by the Coach and his support team Within the Club, votes are awarded including on the basis of the expectation/s set They do not correlate to what Umpires, media and supporters see IIRC Ross made his mark as a “lock down” mid where he had an ability to position to...

Missing from these contributions is that it is now 2021 Speculation is on which players will be running into the park in a couple of months time - for the 2021 season Everything else is past tense and irrelevant IF the players we now have on our List were all available in (say 2017), would we have w...

Interesting To throw a spanner into the works, in assessing the performances of Australian players I look to Ashes performances because of the consistency of the competition home and away and the regularity of that competition both of which provides more meaningful appraisal tools Look at those aver...

Re: The Seb Ross discussions

Re: Was this our worst ever trade?
Playing in a back pocket on the likes of Lade, and was found out
Brooks had never played as a defender
That was at the time the Opposition would push their rucks forward and inflict great pain on us

Re: Was this our worst ever trade?
Missing from comment is that Brooks was Drafted by Port Adelaide at 15, but due to the rucking depth of Port Adelaide did not play a game He was however regarded very highly as a forward/ruck at 198cm and 95kg - very athletic with a decent jump So Port Adelaide were nurturing him and sorry to lose h...

Re: The Seb Ross discussions
My concerns with Ross are that, despite his size he is not an inside mid, mostly with the ball in space which presents another problem Whilst in warm ups he appears to have straight line speed, he does not use that speed, frequently static when receiving the ball, being closed down accordingly and f...

The debate should be about the players who can go to another level
And win games of footy for St Kilda off their own boots
And, in the process consolidate St Kilda such that finals footy is a given because to win Premierships you have to be a Finals side first
