"As part of St Kilda’s existing affiliation with Sandringham, non-selected players are eligible to play from the Zebras in the VFL competition." I thought we already did this. "from" should be "with"? We do, it is stating the existing arrangement. Pretty clumsily worde...

I think it is a good move that could help all parties. Juniors overlooked in the draft have an incentive to choose Sandy as a VFL club, Sandy get more talent in the door, Saints get a closer look at potential talent and how they may blossom or struggle in the club environment.

I wouldn’t do a deal detrimental to the StK FC Melbourne only gives us chicken feed for him - they pay his salary If the overpay with DP then I’d be happy to pay part of his salary - it’d be like pick purchasing As it was we were bent over SOS was more worried about getting to the airport to catch ...

No, I would have liked to keep him, as I am a fan of his skills. Once the decision was made on both sides I don’t know what other options there was though.

Again, what would you have done?

So Marto, what was your solution? Don’t trade him? Or trade him for a deal that didn’t exist seeing you can’t trade someone against their will?

Strengthens our draft hand next year … haha 😂 Melbourne will finish top 4 Academy picks It will end up being a pick in the 50s Laughable Agree 100% s*** f****** trade. Still paying a significant part of his wage. Only StKilda. Not only St Kilda, pretty sure the premiers were paying a couple of play...

Dogs need salary cap relief We need A grade mids Yes macrae is 29 but he is durable and will play well beyond 30 Why not pick 35 plus coffield for macrae Dogs get another pick for their father son and much needed salary cap relief Macrae slipped out of the midfield onto a wing or half forward for t...

If we are pinning our improvement on a C Grade midfielder We are in strife He’s nowhere near as good as Billings or Jones Still no suggestions on who to trade for then Marto? Every year it’s the same story, you say everyone we are linked to is no good but have no actual suggestions on who should be...

As long as they are Private Schooled they will be excellent. There is a new strategy, the recruiters are going to head out to 5th rate butt f#ck leagues in the sticks in the hope of finding a hidden gem 😂😂😂 Now there is a strategy that will pay off! Don’t look at the concentration of scholarship ta...

As long as they are Private Schooled they will be excellent. I would love to add some grunt and toughness anywhere on the field for us like a Maynard. So many times when there is a opposition player bullying someone on our team. Very few go to their aid. If you look at Collingwood any time someone ...

Curly, I don’t doubt that you may have inside info, but it is incredibly annoying to just post things like “selfish” and “won’t play again for the saints”, then not elaborating at all! If you know what has happened, either post it (don’t if it is sensitive or involves other parties) or keep it to yo...

Haha Liam Henry The new Brad Hill Non contributors today Some of or young ‘stars’ Another off season of this Marto? not happy with who we are recruiting, but not offering any alternatives, then when someone goes to another club asks “why didn’t we go after them?”. Say up front who we should be goin...

Is this thread about the team or the standard petty squabbles that constantly take over? riveting reading. Anyway, surprised no billings in the emergencies, I suppose you need Campbell listed for cover if anything were to happen to Marshall, but thought Jack would possibly be there instead of Dougal...

A home final at an away venue. Only the AFL could justify that. Really?????? We were only 2 goals from having to book flights to Sydney - take the win Righto so we have to pay homage even though we earn't a home final. Again, going by your logic, if it was Geelong versus st Kilda in the first week ...

Fox just said Saturday twilight? And venue still TBC? Not sure Marvel or the G will make too much difference. Toby Greene looms as the difference, how can we stop him? Has to be suspended round arm punch to the groin. 😭😭😭 Love the input - really contributes ....... If there was a punch to the groin...

It’s amazing how poorly a thread can age in a matter of hours. I am tipping no self reflection at all from the OP as well, just more conspiracy BS

David King is a moron Never had a job at a footy club after playing No fkn idea I don’t really rate him either, relies on stats too much to shape his opinions, then will change that opinion very quickly when it suits something else. He was briefly an assistant at Richmond after retiring though.

I thought they review every goal So did I. Obviously they were lying to us. Wasn’t called a goal though, hence no automatic review. It’s supposed to stop the bigger mistakes being made, such as tomahawks “goal” in the 09 grand final, doesn’t account for the opposite scenario such as this case.

There was about 5 minutes in the 2nd quarter last night where Hill looked very proppy after a big collision, but came good. Not sure if it was just a bit of an impact that needed to be run off or was an aggravation of his knee issue, but was very worried. He came good pretty quickly, so might be tha...

I’ll go through EVERY draft pick from the draft era when Bevo was recruiting 86-2007 - when I have time But I’ll tell you what it’s the choices at the top end of the draft that are key - one fkd decision and the team after you get a champion!!! Ball 2- Judd 3 McEvoy 9 - Danger 10 Billing 3 - Bont 4...

Trade Steele to Norf or GC. He's never shown a glimpse of game-changing brilliance like Bont, Cripps, Danger, none of them. Plodder who goes missing when the heat's on. 3 qtr time huddle broke up, he walked away looking like he was totally lost. And it showed in the last qtr 2 time All-Australian, ...

I think we could make very quick strides with a good off-season. Imagine adding. 2 x Free Agent midfielder (Parish and M Crouch) 1 x uncontracted midfielder (Dow) 1 x key defender (Redmond) 3 x draft picks And possibly losing Gresham Bytel Highmore McKenzie Campbell Connolly Adams Gives a best 22 o...

I was pretty certain that Brett Knowles was going to take over from Harvs as our elite midfielder and win a brownlow at some point.

I also thought that G-Train was a poor recruit and then, thought he should stay in the backline and was not happy he was moved to full forward.
