Hi all

The 1-4 year players are back on deck tomorrow, scheduled to be 9.30am for those that can make it down.
For those that can’t, I’ll put up a training report!

I watched a 19 minute highlights package of Garcia playing for Assumption college…he reminds me of a quicker Tom Liberatore with his tackle aggression, hard running & quick hands.
Very efficient around goals too!

(StMike, Monday research?)

He’s one of many I’ve earmarked to keep an eye on…I’ll be like a kid in a lollie shop watching all our draftees from this year and last!

Who replaces Gresham doing what? He kicks a goal a game average, bang on 1 a game. I think we can pick that up in a forward line with King, Caminiti, Owens, (hopefully) Membrey, Phillipou, Butler and Higgins plus a midfield and wings that like to actually work and run. He slaps the ball on to his f...

Was having a look at where our players might sit across both clubs come round 1. We have a good range of depth but as we all know our absolute top end isn't as strong as some of the contending clubs. Do we have any delayed preseasons or injuries as far as anyone here is aware? Saints FB Webster How...

Is it just me that gets annoyed at incorrect player stats?
Collard is 185cm, not 180 & Hastie is 190cm.
That’s my whinge for the day!!

Time will tell on the depth front but it certainly helps having 3 goods drafts in a row! No one seems to have Liam O’Connell in their Sandy team…strange! Hey Mike how is Ross travelling, I hope all is well with him. Also Members is a notable omission and would be a massive bonus if he can get it to...

Training starts on Monday morning…I’ll do a training report for those of you that can’t make it!

Do you know what time it starts Mike ?

Not at this stage but should find out over the weekend..will post when I find out.

With all the academy stuff, the first round went for 29 ( or so ) picks. If that is replicated next year, and if we finish mid table, our 3rd rounder is mid 50s. We thus have not given up much.. a bird in the hand… I seriously wish that they used a decimal point convention for father/son and academ...

I think he's saying that we have one 1st round pick, one 2nd round pick, and two 3rd round picks in next year's draft. The 2nd rounder is not ours, but Adelaides. And if we finish higher than the Crows, then it's a better pick. We also have Melbourne's 3rd round in addition to our own. Pretty sure ...

Were a complete cluster fk Now the stench of the 2013/14 drafts is finally gone Pick 3 - Billings traded Pick 18 - Dunstan delisted Pick 19 - Acres traded Pick 1 - McCartin delisted Pick 21 - H Goddard delisted Pick 22 - McKenzie delisted Pick 41 - Lonie delisted It fkd us for 10 years!!!! Yep…the ...

I’d love us to use Windhager in a permanent tagging role, with Steele and Dow joining him in the middle. Crouch on the bench giving Steele a chop out..Jones (if fit) also on the bench giving Dow a chop out. Sinclair getting more midfield time would also help! Owens & Phillipou getting their minu...

I can’t think of who he reminds me of but it’s def not Sam Gilbert… Gilbert was more tall/aerial that could run ala Voss. This kid is a runner that can go up. He reminds me a little bit of a younger Brendan Goddard before he had that versatility and size about him. His movement through traffic and ...

Monday morning at RSEA park

Can’t wait for training to start watching Bonner and Shoenmaker launching from 60!!

Bonner can run and can kick, there is beyond a doubt an undeniable pattern forming. I’m guessing RTB wants either NWM up on a wing or Sinclair more on ball, therefore looking at some options for run and delivery out of the back half. Time to get super fit Hunter Clark! Seems the boss has learned so...

He could be handy playing on the nippy small forwards

Good names

No bloody Jacks for once!

Liam’s the new Jack!!

We gave up a future 3rd to get Garcia…Arie fell into our lap, pretty sure we’d have passed but he was too tempting!!

We thought the same with Nas…Collard’s got 5 other indigenous boys plus Katrina Amon at the club!

Pretty timid in his interviews, so will definitely get the homesickness.

Move him in with NWM and Woody

Nas has moved out apparently..Phillipou has moved in with Mason Wood.

Nice looking small forward...sure we've got a few but you never know... His 11 games At Subby this year yielded 32 goals...last 2 games 5 goals back to back...handy. Welcome to St Kilda! Some highlights... https://youtu.be/BE1N3CpmE0E?si=VHo70WeD1lzuHrlK https://youtu.be/T7Lso462OzE?si=1Up6MqdUpRwz...
