Geez I hope we do'nt pick up Clarke! Seriously! We have 3 players on our list who can play ruck! Surely thats enough! If We go with Billy or Lewis as no.1 ruck, so be it, but do we really need another fringe recycle player? if so, why didn't we go hard at Preuss who is younger bigger and more aggres...

If picking up Hannebery and Kent and going to the draft was our idea of ‘getting really aggressive’ I’ll be buggered!

Sadly it is our predicament that with the current clowns calling the shots, it’s going to be a slow burn...

I just don’t get everyone being so ‘relieved’ we can hang on to pick 4...like that player is going to have a massive impact on our season next year...no chance! We need ‘proven’ players! Our development is crap, our current team is poor making it very very hard for young players to have any meaningf...

I like the fact Carlton do there ‘mafia’ style wine and dine! It’s fun to read about, it’s part of their culture, their style! At least they have something to talk about! They are going to land McGovern if knowing else, a ‘young key oisition’ Player...right now, what do we stand for, what is our ‘st...

Wingard hasn't finished Top Ten in Ports Best and Fairest for the last three years no way would you give up pick 4 and a player for him. Not interested in B and F’s...he’s s gun, his best is AA. He’s a goal kicker and brings people thru the gate. I’m over the draft, I don’t think it’s our answer in...

Yep! Absolutely! As previously stated, for us to remain relevant, generate interest/excitement/news stories people want to read, we have to throw the kitchen sink at A grade guns! If we can’t land any, we are a joke that knowone really cares about! C’mon lethers, make something big and exciting happ...

I’m convinced we must land the big fish! Test of the whole clubs credibility on the line! We will not climb up the ladder quickly unless we bring in guns. Crossing fingers and toes we can nab Shiel! No more b and c graders please lethers!

Pretty solid AFL ready player - not sure if he's going be elite, but he's pretty good from the 4-5 games i've seen him play. He's pretty well built and has a decent physical presence, doesn't seem to shirk the niggle. Couldn't say with any confidence how good his skills are, and he does have a bit o...

Interesting that in an article last year talking about our 'core of younger players' wanting to make a statement and win interstate against port adelaide, Dunstan was right in the thick of our young core. His lack of development/poor management would be one of the biggest indictments on our current ...

After watching how important Jeremy MCGovern was on the weekend I couldn't help but wonder whether Paddy would suit a similar role down back? They are both similar in their physical make-up and share similar traits in that Paddy reads the play better than most (it's just that no one kicks it to his...

Why? • He's actually close to if not the most in-form small forward in the comp. • He just turned 22 and clicked over 50 games. • We have at least 8 spots free on the main list and one decent pick (Freeman, Gilbert, Goddard, Minchington, Stevens, Wright, Weller, Longer ) • He wouldn't cost much in ...

We need picks. Is Hick gonna win us a flag? No. Pierce showed as much as any ruck on our list in his extremely limited game time. I tend to agree with This. I've always rated Hickey more than Longer (that;'s just my opinion) but always tried to stay very open minded in who would take the no.1 mantl...

Great news!

This is an excellent point and I agree 101% you’ve really hit the nail on the head re: goal kicking, 1st half’s, I would beg to add that the whole team couldn’t cope with expectation for this season full stop. Just a massive season long choke.

If I was trying to fold our club, I would: • Keep Richo coaching. • Spend big coin on a very average ruckman. • Spend even bigger coin on a midfielder who hasn't played well in years, has battled chronic injuries and was never a very good kick. • Chase a forward who has had 3-4 knee recos and doesn...

Is it just me or is it a bit unclear how Kingsley left...did he walk or was he sacked? I read it as he left of his own volition to join the premiers. Certainly better for his cv if it looks like he walked but did he get a tap on the shoulder? He’s always referred to as “highly regarded assistant” in...

Beams is way better than Steven! Stevens disposal has never been any good. I’d rather keep Steven because he is a saints man and we have so few we just have to keep some character about the place but as an overall player I’d take beams over Steven in a heartbeat

This 100%

Im glad we didn’t land Seedsman, he’s not much better if at all than savage! We don’t need more b graders, only A grade talent please!! Shiel, Gaff, beams etc...

Lonie has enough to say he could also pinch hit thru the middle as well. He’s definitely one we should be keeping. Clearly a popular team man and has the sort of hard edge/niggle we should be targeting! I for one would be very dissapointed if we let him go!

Must admit, I had him as papers stamped, but at worst tradebait with value or a new 1 year deal!!!!! He deserves a one year deal. If he continues his improvement in 2019, then maybe offer him a 2 year deal. I hope the club don’t get sucked in and offer him 2 years like they did with A. Fiona at the...

What a PR piece of absolute garbage! Richardson is fast approaching the now infamous S Watters in terms of talking out of place, stating our club is much more stable than all would seem...Rubbish! There is a huge rumbling going onand finally, finally the heat has been fairly and squarly placed on us...

Whichever way you look at it, it’s pretty damning stuff and just adds more momentum to this snowballing feeling that all hell will break loose come seasons end!

I’d second that, I’d love a priority pick...we need all the help we can get in this different afl landscape. Last time we had one we got the twin towers!

"While football boss Simon Lethlean has backed Richardson to keep his job, heavy losses against Hawthorn and North Melbourne in the final two games could yet force St Kilda’s hand." So - given not much gets printed in these matters without the AFL's imprimatur - hold on to your hats. The ...
