It will be interesting to see how well he goes this week on the big Freo ground.

Got an Idea why don't we try upgrading to a higher level player instead of one around the same b grade level?

Just for a change anyway

Then you've got bloody Harry O'brien who has cult status because he wears a Collingwood jumper (IMO) and I truely believe Gwilt is more reliable, Consistant, and better disposer of the ball.

Does this guy have to dye his hair purple to get true recognition for his performances? He would have to be one of the most underrated players in the AFL and certainly close to our most consistent and reliable. Whether we win or lose by 10 goals he gives the same solid game never panicking, standing...

Dead right mate well done. Can't be many others that must be close to it.

Just to balance it out, player who won premierships at other clubs and then came to St Kilda Alex Marcou Peter McConville Ken Sheldon Damian Monkhorst Tony Francis Russell Morris I'm sure there are more..... :P Dempster, Schneider, Capuano. Dean Anderson, Andy Collins, Max Crow (1981 night Premiers...

Interesting to see that so many believe a large multitude of reasons but barely anyone has off field dramas on their list.

Even If none of it was true the media have bashed us from pillar to post and surely must have damaged our Image and reputation?

Actually this is an Interesting thread. We have alway been a club that everyone generally had a sentimental soft spot for and wanted to get behind to see us succeed. I've been up in Qld for 15 years now and I have a mad keen Richmond supporter mate in Melbourne that keeps Insisting that things have ...

Wow you must really love it when we're winning then?

It's an illness

That's true I've been feeling sick all season.

Dane Swan will be out for 2-3 weeks with a hamstring. I was hoping you were going to say Kosi and Mcqualter were out for the rest of the season. I don't like wishing injury on any player, from any team... You take it to a whole new, and very ordinary level, wishing for injury to our own players. :x...

It was a reasonable debut for Nick, but certainly nothing special. I hope he can build on it and finish the season with half a dozen games. I admire the way Cripps manages to be in the right place at the right time. You can't really teach that sort of thing. Siposs hasn't had a heap of it but blime...

Needs to harden up a bit - copped two hits and both times went down in a screaming heap. bit harsh mate....had his ams pinned to his body in one and was driven head first into the turf and artificial turf.... Bloody hell the expectations of some of these guys is insane. I thought I was tough but th...

He may never have the silky skills, take graceful high flying marks, kick fluently on both sides of his body hitting players on the chest and easily bombing goals anywhere up to 60 meters out but WHO CARES ????? Just having that name running around is enough. I've missed that guy like hell and this ...

Still don't understand why from the centre of the ground it takes 15 kicks with 15 turn over opportunities when it only needs 1 kick to almost land in the goal square?

Our boys have given their heart and soul over the past 10 years (across 2 coaches)..... We weren't good enough in that time - suck it up - so be it We were in an awful position at 1/2 time tonight, with 0% confidence.... and what did we do??? Did we roll over and lose by 100 points which many other...

Is Ross Lyon overrated as a coach? I see our glass as being half empty and our team on the verge of requiring a full blown rebuild. It seems everyone else recognised this the summer but not Ross. Our game plan hasn't really changed. Our personnel hasn't really changed. We are relying on the same ha...

1. 26 years old 2. On the verge of the prime years in his footy career - ruckmen develop later than others 3. In the leadership group at St Kilda, and 4.

I haven't been on here for a while but with very little to be excited about from our kids coming up I'm amazed not much has been said about this kid apart from a post from someone bagging him. I love this kid. I was horrified when he played those few games last year and kicked a few goals then got d...

I know what you are saying jigster it's that lack of emotion and desperation like he's always going half pace and don't give a ---k.

If he is pushing himself I'd just like him to look like it occasionally.

When are sentimentalists over anyone wearing a Saints jumper going to look at the big picture and see that these strugglers are why we always fall short of a flag???? Making excuses for them every week throughout the season while our top players bust their gut trying to carry them over the line. We ...

How can we gain anything from that?
I felt like I was watching a 3rd division country football exhibition carnival.

I'm normally super hungry again when It comes to this time and enjoy NAB cup but this is crap.
