Re: Roma

Hit outs are some what overrated. That said how many complete ruckmen are there in the league- centre square , around the ground and possessions. Considering there are on average maybe 25-30 centre sq ball ups it is a trade off to some extent and he wins some of these, so say it is 10 v 20 but Roma ...

Re: Worst possible start to the season we were all fearing...

One thing at the end of Round 1was that most likely 9 teams were going to have lost. Really don't understand the negativity though. Geelong are a side in the same bracket of teams as Stkilda 5-10 IMO Geelong have Superstars in Cameron and Stewart and the new protected species of the league in Danger...

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?

No . Serial offender who IMO has foregone all his 3rd and 4th chances.

Does the name Lovett ring any bells for people.

after 40 + years of membership would be enough to see that streak end.

Re: Let's talk about Jason Heatley

Met Heatley at a mutual friends party a few years ago now. Cracking bloke happy to talk about footy and time at the saints. Best kick for goal I have seen.

DFC

Reading both the Melbourne papers it appears that once again the off field St.Kilda has found a way to turn a positive thing such as the DFC into a poor PR position. While the details are sketchy it appears that the club is now charging for services and rent to the charity. Surely if this is require...

Re: The recent shift in age demographic

Really like what we have done this off season and the overall change in the demographic and clearing out of some stale players, however to me the greatest rubbish to come from fans mouths is the comment "Play the kids" . Its the catch cry of all who support the teams at the bottom like the...

Re: Arie Schoenmaker

That makes 37 senior players plus 2 rookie B and 4 rookie A for a total of 43 players. The club is now limited to 1 more rookie A I suspect they decided to grab Schoenmaker in the main draft than let him go into the rookie draft where St Kilda would miss him. That probably means they will not take ...

Love the positivity here, some already having jumping on a plane and heading home before he leaves the state based on the fact he is from WA, and a bit shy on TV.

I see the club is reaching out again with the launch of this program to boost funds to put directly into the football program. My initial reaction I must say as a long term member of over 40 years was "Again?". Granted details haven't yet been provided to what the levels of donation will p...
