Is he the one you were referring to a few weeks back when you said we'd pick up a delisted mid?

I went to Caulfield Grammar and Haileybury. I worked at Lauriston Girls School for several years. Hated them both too. My parents thought they were doing the right thing bless them.

Re: The Ride

Yes, amazing. Did you watch the presser? Look, i liked brett, but listening to Ross it is chalk and cheese i am afraid. Sure he had a few cliches in the mix but boy oh boy does he speak with clarity, authority and knowledge. Absolute gun. Also his references to the broader operating structure and t...

Re: “DELUSIONAL ST KILDA AND ROSS LYON DESERVE EACH OTHER”

Get that stool pushing seat sniffer out of here. Sounds a bit anti PC to me. And a tad disgusting to say the least. Its only anti PC on here when it suits the mods. Have a crack at someone’s ethnicity and they let it go unnoticed apparently. Doubt it mate. Try it and see. Happened to me a couple of...

Re: Let’s get fair dinkum

I am now looking forward to next year Couple of weeks ago I could not have given a rats arse Now be honest who else feels the same way Yeah very optimistic now. Was so deflated when Ratten was extended. Now things are looking so much more exciting. Has re-kindled my enthusiasm for the Saints. Forum...

Re: Our next coach

Although I'm not a fan, I think RL can give us an advantage if he can manage to keep our injuries at bay, as he did when he took over from GT. It was one of his objectives when he took over ... and credit where it's due, we did get over the injuries that plagued us under GT. Remember, we were an 8-...

Get on your bike clause the real reason for the delay?
Yeah but Ross looks to me to be much more comfortable in his own skin. Ratts looked like a scruffy bloke drowning in self doubt.

Re: Ross Lyon a huge get

Love this bit “I don’t like the narrative around St Kilda. Maybe it's deserved, but I think sometimes it’s a bit disrespectful. Hopefully it can get to a point where I can roll up the sleeves and help change that, hopefully.” Ross Lyon Chabge it up Rossy let’s stick the narrative right up a few cla...

Yep also excited for first time in months. Re-appointing Ratten for two years smashed my enthusiasm, but now I’m really hopeful and optimistic.

Re: Devil in the detail...

Well said. Board to be applauded in my view for making a stand. After nearly a decade of beige on field performance and spin driven, deluded, fluffy admin, we have a massive clean out - McGlynn, Lade, Ratten, Sexton, Finnis - and a board actually making a hard nosed decision. Rather than the "...

Re: Ratten sacked

Is this for real? Didn’t we just re-sign him Now we’ve got to pay him out?! We are truly incompetent… a laughing stock Well, it is the first ballsy kind of decision we've made in a while.
