Definately need the grunt factor in our forward line and midfield, though I thought Bakes didn't have his best year in 2007, we still need to recruit some tough bodies.

Agree about injuries..never underestimate the effect one or two injuries to key players can cause. If you have a forward, back or onballer in and out of the team, that little bit of unbalance can mean the difference in many games. Geelong were so lucky to have reasonably inury-free year -luck plays ...

I'm sure RL won't look at any more players with chronic injuries or fringe players.

Yep, if we don't stuff anything up, especially off field we will have a good 2008.. just think if we would have won the flag this season, all of Butters' media blabbing and supposed ego issues would have been OK..what you think??

Very good thoughts.. the club is in good shape regardless of what some are saying, deficiencies will be sorted as time goes on I expect..I'm still very optimistic about 2008.

Gdanski sounds to me like a trouble-maker and I would be worried if he was on any new St.Kilda board.

I'm glad people are at least reading what I say..I'm after all only after one thing at OUR club -success and lots of it and long-term survival. If it looks like I'm on Butters side, then so be it, frankly I dont care about Butters as such and care even less about Westaway. There is current board in ...

Of course want our club to be united, but the challenging board and them alone, have now caused significant destabilisation of this club. At the end of our season I spoke to a few passionate Sainters here and there was barely a mention of the board or Butters, it was discussion about what we needed ...

Agree about good coaches win flags. RL needs a couple of years before we can judge him, he inherited an injury-riddled underdeveloped list, so give him time. Chocco Williams is clearly a top coach and develops players to their max. Roos is obviously a good communicator with his players and gets the ...

Bugger it then, lets just get Judd...he'll do for the time being.

Mmm.. Fev and Robbo in the forward line = possible 5-10 goals extra per game = more wins than 2007= final 8.

We need bolstering up across all positions -If Fev is availalbe they might as well go after him -ready made FF. Pagan really coached better when he had players who didn't have issues, not so good with the people side of things -I think RL would get the best from Fev. We also need a big body down bac...

I'm tempted to comment on that final in 2004, but let's put it to rest and look forward to a great 2008 - I see we have a new fitness guru, ex Swans just signed up, we've re-signed players, we have new recruiting personnel, and the board has just approved $500K spending..it's a pity some want to dri...

SFF? should really be SFA as that's all they are offering

Looks like my little hook in the water with some Butters bait got some nibbles.. pity most of it is carp. I see Collingwood spent a lot on recruiting, have great training facilities and a loudmouth President, but in the end didn't win a premiership..Brisbane, Adelaide and WCE have fantastic training...

I had a flat tyre the other day driving down South Rd. Moorabbin - it was Butters fault apparently like everything people can possibly think of even remotely to do with St.Kilda F.C. Butters should have written to me and told me to put more air in my tyre, but no, he was too busy with other things d...

Looking forward to a premiership every year if Westaway gets in power eh??

I presume you mean the Saints vs Crows in '97..Drove to a mate's place to watch the GF on TV, a bit depressing after half time

Westaway will tell you what you want to hear..lots of feel-good stuff which won't really change anything.

Sorry guys, a couple of board members who have been out-egoed and want to step down, don't make a destabilised club...Sacking a failed coach who couldn't win a flag with a champion team doesn't destabilise a club. Major destabilisation is created by challenging the existing board and president and f...

Judging by what the challenging board are saying, lets spend up ..I prefer things as they are now.

I'm really looking for stability over everything else, as the club will go backwards if we destabilise. The club is in good financial shape, which has taken a while and was only done with prudent financial practices. This is financial stability the club has never had and should now see the club spen...

Pretty much what I think too Breeny

Another guy with a lot of potential, but is risky to sign up due to his injury record, we just can't build a strong team with players who can't stay on the track for the best part of a season.

Yeah bloody Sheldon and Butters..what's the big idea..resigning one of our young stars, you blokes have no idea about footy..sack 'em
