The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

ST KILDA concedes several of its players were too heavy in 2017 and will ensure they are much lighter next season.

The club was 9-6 after round 16 and sitting seventh, having just thumped eventual premier Richmond, before a disappointing end to the year saw the Saints win just two more games as they missed finals for a sixth straight season.

Coach Alan Richardson told AFL.com.au it was important his players didn't carry too much bulk.

"A few guys identified at the end of the year, sitting down with the coaches and the conditioning staff, (they) had perhaps muscled up a little bit too much," Richardson said.

"It was still good weight, but given the way that we want to play and they as individuals need to play for us, a few guys stripped a bit of weight."

Key forward Paddy McCartin has suffered a right foot sprain and will be in rehab for the rest of the year, but he is already noticeably leaner.

The 21-year-old is not the only one who has shed kilograms. Mav Weller and Shane Savage are also slimmer.

and Dylan Roberton is a little lighter after a small injury during cricket practice ...

Put this one in the slightly stranger pre-season injuries...

Dylan Roberton was sent to hospital needing 4-6 stitches after being hit in the testicles by a tennis ball playing indoor cricket in the @stkildafc gym yesterday. A Shane Savage wrong-un the offending delivery
Andrew McCormack‏
@_AMcCormack7

Replying to @_AMcCormack7 @stkildafc
Here's the delivery that did the damage which was remarkably innocuous

Roberton escaped without long term damage but expected to be on light duties for the next week or so

Dylan Roberton was lucky to escape with every part of his anatomy intact after a freak incident yesterday.

A harmless game of indoor cricket after training has turned to pain for Roberton with the defender copping a blow to the groin.

In a somewhat unbelievable accident, Roberton was felled by a tennis ball, requiring a trip to hospital to repair the damage.

General Manager of Football Performance Jamie Cox said he was both very lucky, yet unlucky at the same time.

“To cop such a blow in a harmless game of cricket is very unlucky, but thankfully, he’s okay and will be back on his feet in the next few days.”

“Dylan has returned to pre-season training in fantastic shape, so a short break won’t hold him back for too long.”

Actually, it looked like an off-break.

Hey DS, I know that you told Luke not to say anything, but I reckon you're being way too modest about what really turned his season (career?) around. :)


It's Dave, man. Will you open up? I got the stuff with me! -------Who?
Dave, man. Open up ------------------------------------------ -----Dave???
Yeah, Dave. ---------------------------------------------------------Dave's not here.
