Did we even try and get him. He is a superstar. Im sure we could have offered more than the Hawks to him and Sydney.

Even if we did, we still wouldn't have got him, as Hawthorn always has it over us :(

If I remember correctly he was all sewn up by the Hawks very early in the piece, one of the first trades of the period.

I don't know about Tom, but Barry openly stated he'd never play for St.Kilda when we made a big play for him in the early 90's. Same as Greg Williams.


"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."

Let's be honest if you are an A grader would you come to StKilda. Anymore performances like last Friday will more likely see an exodus of the few decent players we have.

That's how I remember it...we jostled for OMeara with the rest of 'em initially and settled on swapping picks (including our #10) with the Hawks late instead.

At the end of 2016 we were coming off a better than expected year and missed the 8 on percentage.

Every club plays some crap games. Richmond and Hawthorn last year come to mind. It’s not the end of the world.
