St Kilda

The Hill deal went too far. The draft picks should have been enough. Acres skewed that deal too far away from us.

Since then, it seems like we are chasing our bets and trading instead of drafting.

I don't love umpires, but do they deserve this level of abuse?

I'm ashamed of my club! Ashamed is harsh I'm going with very disappointed & its not the first time & yeah I think you know the story :( I'm ashamed because they (Ryder excluded) didn't try tonight. They were not worthy to wear the jumper. They were not worthy of our support. If ever an effo...

We robbed Peter to pay Paul to rob Peter.

Might be nonsensicle but makes sense to me.

We traded like a premiership threat. So maybe we have gone forward too fast. So fast, in fact, that we broke the space-time continuum and skipped our premiership and came out at another rebuild. We got great service out of Frawley and McKernan in those premiership years though :lol: f****** gold.

I just want you to know that it's not you, it's me. It's my fault I believed you could change. My fault that I continue to allow myself to be seduced by your false hope. This relationship has been too one sided for too long. You ask, I give. So many of us give. Our time, our money... Our hearts. Whe...

I think I have to break up with St Kilda.

If they don't come with an apology and flowers next week we are done.

An absolute beauty!!

We could do with a new Jason Blake.

Battle maybe??

We DON'T NEED another mid. Need a ruck back-up quick smart. Roma is having plantar fascia issues, and it's not good to push him too hard until it's resolved. Remember Luke Ball and osteitis pubis? Ryder isn't young, we don't know how long he has left. The Paul Hunter/Shaun McKernan experiment hasn'...

We have great unsung backman who have played consistently well for a log, long time without creating headlines.... Justin Peckett Tim Pekin Wayne Judson Jeff Dunne Great list! Can I add David Grant to it? Was always a favourite of mine. My mates you to look at me like I was an idiot when I sang his...

I loved him when he was at Essendon and wished we’d been able to draft him Was very unenthused when we got him... What a fool I was Same boat. Always thought he was a gun, but believed we picked up a player topping up his super. I was flabbergasted by his passion to play last year. Paddy showed mor...

Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is ri...

Paddy got 5 weeks, blood sugar level out of whack and so he was agitated and went whack. Love when ignorance thinks it's funny. Classy. What are you on about ? I thought it was obvious. But if you need explaining, you took the blood sugar defense and decided to make fun of it. But good on you for r...

Classy.

Paddy wasn't some rank outsider in the draft. It is easy to say now that Petracca was the clear standout but McCartin was not just in the conversation, he was a genuine top level draft pick. The Age had an article that had Heeny number 1, but he was always going to be a Swan. https://www.theage.com....

It's hard to buy into a teams ethos if part of the team is allowed to ignore it.

Personally think the criticism is overblown because of salary Hill was all over the ground and works hard. He’s not a tough player and is found wanting too often in contests but that’s to be expected If we shovel the ball out to him, he’s a killer Not just salary, we invested in Hill by selling a s...

He's a pretty clever footballer and he could add a couple of years to his career if he develops his ruck craft. He doesn't have a big leap but uses his body so well. I can see him being more than a relief ruckman if he wants to put the work into it. Naitanui is athletic as a ruckman can get and Carl...

5 Steele - Legend building season 4 Billings - I thought he was too deep early, but I am a moron 3 - King - Menacing, dynamic, exciting. First 5, definitely not the last. 1 - Crouch - Welcome to St Kilda 1 - Marshall - Our most important player in my opinion. So happy to have him back. 1 - Carlisle ...

Butler redeemed himself today, and Lonie clearly fallen behind both Higgins and Butler on current form. Fitness is fixable.

Lonie is no yard stick

Other than being the same length

We lost the hitouts 36 to 19 (by 17), but won the clearances 35 to 24 (by 11). So much for Natanui and his giant leap and laser-precision tap outs. Marshall back is such a massive positive but have to mention Carlisle's game. He's not much of a ruckman but knows how to use his body and really made ...
