Typical St.Kilda we recruit him at pick 22 put 5 years of hard yards into him & just as we start to see some reward we trade him out at pick 32 + a fourth round pick

That and he would tease, do some great stuff and then follow it up with some shocking stuff. Did that in the second half of the year with Freo as well after good first half.

In their 2 finals appearances this year Acres was very good IMO

He is better than Cordy but both are desperation picks if we end up with both IMO

Wow we got someone who actually wanted to come to us .Well all I can say is thank god we got him for free

We have lucked out with the academy players & NWM will request a trade next year . We have 3 or 4 genuine keepers the rest of the list is negotiable IMO so pretty hard to be too up beat about next year . I'm a glass half empty bloke when it comes to St.Kilda & IMO we will struggle to do any ...

He was happy at St.Kilda we moved him on & I know for a fact he wanted to stay we told him his prospects of playing senior football at St.Kilda were remote so you might want to explore your options . Pretty much threw him in as a sweetner for the Hill trade when we didn't have to .Typical St.Kil...

Our list is far from perfect but with some smart trading/drafting and a reasonable run with injuries we could sneak into the finals. Lenny will make a big difference to our midfield and get them playing with an edge. If we can snag a decent forwards coach who can sort our goal kicking accuracy we a...

As much as I think the Tird is a drug cheating f-ck it would have be gratifying to see him fail again & get sacked for the second time .

Exactly. Nothing to do with relevance. Everything to do with the size of the offer.

Lots of uninformed whining on this site lately.

So with your informed judgement what do you expect next year ?

NWM will be a target next year hopefully we can show enough to make him want to stay

I'm not looking forward to the blue sky brigade pumping out the same bullsh-t that we need to be patient our list is not that bad & we aren't that far away . I wish we were but reality is there for all to see we aint & unless we bring in some serious talent we will fall even further IMO Agr...

Yeah you have to wonder why ? A massive saints fan growing up apparently & has connections at St.Kilda but chose Hawks over us not a good sign for us to entice real talent

See nothing we are bringing in that makes sense to trade

Well said Teffers our first round pick 5 years in the system with some serious talent & still contracted for a late second or 3rd rounder WTF

If I was fortunate enough to get a gig I would want to be between the Fireman & Loris & Aeon Flux & DBC across the table . No disrespect to any other Sainsationalists I'm sure I would enjoy your company as well just a personal choice

Really !! Who is surprised ? Not me the system favours successful clubs & has done since free agency started & it will only get worse . Good players at struggling clubs wanting success before retirement will want a shot at glory & who could blame them

Back on us v Geelong, we are a pretty good football team with a couple of pieces missing from the puzzle. Good decisions made this year and next will see us being contenders. Bad ones could see us stagnate in that 7th to 13th zone on the ladder You'd swear were worse than North Melbourne judging by...

I stand to be corrected but the last team to beat Geelong was......us? On field talent is one thing but the major difference between Geelong and St Kilda is Geelong supporters don't talk there club down. IMO that is not true I know lot's of Geelong supporters that were very unhappy with the the clu...

As pointed out by someone else, Finnis inherited an awful Docklands stadium deal, a second rate rate training facility away from our heartland and an already hefty level of debt. He pulled the levers with the Kingston council, the AFL, and the state government to get us back to Moorabbin in an outs...

Very hard to compete with a destination club . Hat's off to Geelong for creating that culture & environment that has players wanting to go there . They have been there about's for 20years we can only wish to be that resilient
