Good to see ol' Rossco trying some of the new kids....Fair Dinkum, Geary, McQualter, Blake etc, etc.

Another Nuthin' year for the Saints I'm afraid.

For a bloke who stands almost 2 metres tall, he doesn't seem to take many pack marks. If he is so good, why was he overlooked in last years draft? Even as a rookie selection?

If Matt Burgatron's Phantom Draft works out to be on the mark for the St.KFC, I for one will be gutted. Other than Sam Blease all of our other choices will be speculative at best. I still can't believe we gave up our second round choice for Farren Ray. Given he was going to walk anyway, we should ha...

I can confirm this information was on the Herald-Sun website.

Interstingly, it has since been taken down...whether that was a slip up by one of their staff, I'm not really sure.

We will have to wait until 11.00am for confirmation.

By Comparison, here's how Collingwood fared:

Only play 2 of this years Top 8 twice: Swans & Bulldogs

14 games at the MCG

Only 4 interstate trips: GABBA x1, Subiaco x1, Sydney x1, Adelaide x1

And then the AFL has the audacity to say that the fixture is fair and equitable.

The 2009 draw has been released: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,24543685-11088,00.html Here's how we fared: We play 4 of this years top 8 sides twice (Sydney, Adelaide, Bulldogs & North Melbourne) Telstra Dome: 15 games Interstate: 6 Adelaide x 2, Carrara x1, Subiaco x 1, SCG x1,...

Aaron Fiora must mow the coaching staff's lawns like a demon...how else could you justify his retainment on the playing list!!!!!

If Mark Jamar is at St.Kilda in 2009........I WON'T BE!!!!!

Yeah, Let's recruit him because he has the saints emblem tatooed on his chest. What a great idea.

A good, solid player, but.......

if he was 24 y.o I'd say most definately, let's chase him hard, BUT he is 28y.o and we need to be adding young midfielders to our list.

There's a kid called Casey Sibosado who is being talked up big time at the moment over at Big Footy. One guy has compared him to Buddy Franklin. I don't know much about him other than he is 193cm and about 80kg's. Anyone else heard of him?
Couyld be a good second or third round selection.

1. Hodge
2. Judd
3. DAYLIGHT
4. Ball

Roger, I too am statrting to loose the faith. Will I ever get to see another Grand Final in my lifetime? Sitting here today, I can honestly say that I have ABSOLUTELY no faith in our administration to deliver a flag. Ross Lyon can only work with what he is given. What is the plan going forward from ...

Is it April Fools Day??

Geez, our list is really starting to take shape....

First Barry Hall, and now Brodie Holland. All we need now is to secure the services of Scott West and Peter Street and we will be a force in '09.

My two cents worth...... Trade OUT players for draft choices ONLY. Retain all of our picks for youth. Hawthorn have proven that this is the only strategy that works. It is time to re-build, not temporarily patch up our list that has some obvious gaps. Patience will be required. ....just my opinion. ...

.....makes about as much sense as this thread.

Croad came back as a 23 year old.

Barry Hall is 31/32.

No Thanks!!

Hey Castro, Great analysis overall, but I would have liked one additional category in your assessment. That is PLAYERS THAT ARE MENTALLY FRAGILE. In this group I would include: Dal Santo Gram Montagna Kosi None of these guys stood up in 3 weeks of hard and tough finals football. If Ross Lyon is true...

Is this a serious thread????

Trade

A Fiora for pick 80+ (similar to King and C Gardiner last year)

The only thing we will get for Fiora, is some second hand witches hats.

Say what you will, Brereton is CORRECT. We have one one premiership in our pathetic 130 year history. We ARE a laughing stock, and efforts like Saturday nights, will not help gaining respect. The next 10 weeks will be the most important period for the St.Kilda F.C in terms of securing its future. So...

Let's hope they can drill a couple of specials at the 'G' on saturday night.

Even talking about McQualter in the same breath as Robert Harvey is disrespectful.

Harvey will go down in history as one of the greatest players ever. Somehow, I don't think McQualter will be remebered for anything.
