I see nothing wrong with the Saints giving Paddy some love. He certainly didn’t get any from Carlton. This argument might have some merit if Paddy had given up trying. I’m fact the opposite is true. Dow kept trying to get senior selection and when he did took his opportunity and had a great end to t...

This thread is wallowing in the past. The guy plays for another team. It is utterly pointless to endlessly debate about him or what the club got for him or didn’t get. Move on.

So this place is never happy with what St Kilda does. If St Kilda goes left then everyone says it should go right and if they go right then everyone says it should have gone left. Mmmm. Seems like it can never get anything right or left! Well, you're right of course but if everyone was happy, this ...

This thread is much ado about nothing. He desperately wanted to go. Now he’s gone. The end.

I get it that Kane Cornes, trade radio breakfast host, doesn't like the STKFC. Has never liked the Saints. Not sure why, but that's his problem. He's made his dislike abundantly clear and he's entitled to say whatever he wants. Except when it gets it wrong. And he got it very wrong when he said the ...

Watch this space re Dylan Shiel. Not sure the idea of getting him is as dead as everyone seems to think it is.

This is a great idea.

And it makes a lot of sense.

But wouldn't if we are still making a play for Dylan Shiel.

Thank heavens we didn't pick him up. Happy. I wouldn't rule him out or in. There is a bit to go before the close of business tomorrow. No one from the club has, at any time, said officially we are not interested in Dylan Shiel. The Bombers have said they have no plans to trade him. It might have be...

Are we still interested in Shiel? That is the question. Not sure of the answer. When RTB was asked, this is what he said: “Well as a club, we don't sort of conduct our business in the media. “There's a lot of noise around it. “I know he missed the last 10 rounds with quite a few injuries. “It (the n...

Anyone know much about him? Is he a def starter in the top 22? Strengths, weaknesses, areas of improvement etc Super quick. Very good footy smarts. Good disposal. We recruited him for a specific reason. Someone who isn't going to just bomb it and hope for the best. Henry's modelled his game on Brad...

Last time we let go someone for pick 21 It was the underperforming whipping boy Rhys Stanley And we got drat slider bargain and 10 year key defender Hugh Goddard We were doing cartwheels in the street at the time!!!! Fast forward Rhys is still going and a premiership ruckman Not even sure if Hugh s...

Of all the players who might fall into the category of moving on or being moved on, Dan Mackenzie is the toughest for me to reconcile. When he's fit and firing, DMac is outstanding. He's everything you might want in a St Kilda player. Courageous, selfless, tough and uncompromising. But he's played s...

Jack Billing’s clearly wants out. However the problem for him is he’s got nowhere to go. One club expressed interest but it was lukewarm at best. Contrary to the views of many in this place,who really rate Billings, if he does manage to find another club to take him, he’s no great loss.

I certainly rate Nick Coffield. Always have but his career’s been blighted by a horrendous run of injury.

I’m not surprised he reached the view that he needs a re set at another footy club. It’s also perfectly understandable.

If he manages to have a good career with the Dogs good luck to him.

I love optimism, but I’m a little intrigued as to how Dow is so highly rated on this site. Reading this forum Dow is now a clearance machine, has breakaway pace and is primed to become a very good player. This is a guy who can’t get a game at Carlton, will arrive for a future 4th rounder or somethi...

I’m going to make some observations about trade week and our footy club. Now, I don’t want to sound too critical because most of us are not privy to what is happening behind the scenes. But I will make these observations: 1. none of our trades are ever quick or smooth. Other AFL clubs seem to never ...

If cheap then ok but anything above round three we have overpaid. He is not the player we need and we have enough mids who can go in and get the ball and then kick it to the wrong person or place. Not saying he doesn’t have skills he just doesn’t seem to bring anything new to our list, just an upgr...

We’ll see won’t we. I hope I’m right and you’re wrong.

No. He isn’t.

Highlights VFL https://youtu.be/2N7u4ZQe4lo?si=EgwE8l8yVGudx4s9 A Carlton fan's circumspect view.. The guy has never averaged over 14.3 disposals in 4 years and is currently playing 2's. Lipinski had 1 year under his best and dominated VFL consistently, we didn't get a poor return for him at all he...

According to Kane "i know everything" Cornes adding Dow to our midfield gives us another player with poor kicking skills, he doesn't add a point of difference. Proof will be there for all to see next season, if we get him. Dow has great hand and foot skills plus he's really good at exitin...

Dow has been good at clearance work and has a better clearance average per game than any of our midfielders this year. Initially, I wasn't sure this was such a good move, but I have warmed to it. Any help we can get at the stoppages is greatly welcomed at this stage. We were destroyed there in 2023...

Dylan Hannebery, welcome to the Saints, our latest superannuant. Well, at least he doesn’t come with a penchant for the nose beers, like old mate Hanners did lol Shiel is an outstanding citizen, and if I remember correctly is engaged to the daughter of Choco Williams. If surgery is keyhole meniscus...

... at season's end, when the losers ribbons are taken off the Premiership cup for another year. When the mighty Melbourne Cricket Ground cleans away the empty beer cups and chip paper. When the pundits and "experts" take season 2023 apart and dissect it...... I'm thinking of Tim Membrey....
