GWS and Port away will be serious tests and a win in either will genuinely announce us a team to be reckoned with.
We will beat the Bulldogs. Apart from a month in 2016, they have been the most over rated team in the competition for the last 10 years.

Re: I would like everyone's honest opinion
As we showed late last season, we are more than capable of torching this mob but it is hard to be too confident when a quarter of a century has passed since we last won there.
So my honest opinion is we can beat them but I'm not certain that we will.
Yep, a very fierce and hot take.

Re: Tarryn Thomas, anyone?
I have no doubt that the club would be investigating the possibility, given the fact that 23 year old number 8 draft picks very rarely become available for free. They'd be negligent not to. Given the nature of his particular off-field issues I personally would prefer we stay well away from him though.

Re: St Kilda reportedly eyeing midfielder Paddy Dow
Perfect delisted free agent target, assuming he is delisted by Carlton at seasons end.
At worst, will cost us a spot on the list for 12-24 months at best, shows us why he was picked number 3 in the 2017 draft.

Re: Recruit of the Year: Wilkie vs. Hind
Wilkie has been an unbelievably good pick up.
An incredibly calm head, looks to have been in the system years and years rather than 17 games.

You make a lot of sense Chico. I think they've got the building blocks of a good defensive unit with Carlisle, Brown and Roberton. I think the impact of Roberton's absence was wildly underestimated this year. I'm most definitely guilty of being in the optimists camp so I think a few tweaks could see...

End of Season Report Cards
Most of the different media outlets and fan-sites have had their say on our season, what do we think? Did they get it right? Or was there some too kind or some too harsh reviews of the horror show that was 2018? St Kilda's efforts in the forward half were a disaster, not just due to another season o...

As has been the case for much of 2018, they were their own worst enemies giving the Bombers too many lives with poor kicking for goal and too many opp...

It really isn't that difficult to understand is it? The club has decided, rightly or wrongly, that they haven't surrounded Richo with the right people nor given him the proper resources. They have said they will rectify this for next season. They have also gone to the unprecedented step of even taki...
