Was that Gazza senior? He would beautifully complement the drafting of Scott West & Barry Hall! (Maybe the Doc could make a comeback too, just to top off the list!)

Didnt we also trade our first round pick in 2002 for Barry Brooks??

I rest my case Your Honour!

Under no circumstances should the Saints use their first round pick in the draft. Look what we ended up with last few times used it... Ben McEvoy, David Armitage, Andrew McQualter, Raphael Clarke. Premiership class superstars! Are you serious? Each of them have played more games than Fergus Watts c...

Under no circumstances should the Saints trade their first round pick. Look what we ended up with last time they traded it... Fergus Watts! Our first round pick should be used to draft the best young player available, whether a forward, back, midfielder or follower. We should be sending this message...

NO

Don't take everything you read as gospel at this time of the year. There is a fair bit of journalistic licence being taken with that article. The only things I would take as written are the quoted items by Paul Roos. The rest is unconfirmed and potentially made up. ...and we know how much is made u...

Dont care about getting rid of Dal Santo for Kerr but NOT with our first draft pick, which should be sacrosanct.

..."SP will know the way"

SP = Sam Phisher???

Say the Saints strategy is to ensure they have the first pick in the preseason draft for which Cousins is cleared to be part of??? Would this be the strategy to ensure we definitely obtain his services???? St Kilda cannot have first pick in the pre-season draft. Pre-season draft picks are not trade...

He is also injury prone... Forget him.

We needed two Balls last saturday night.

Unfortunately too many players played like they have NO balls...

And you base that opinion on your detailed intimate knowledge of Dal personally, do you?

Just my opinion, thats all.

Isnt that what this forum is all about? Expressing one's opinion?

Great article. Not much said about his parents over the years. I guess they are as humble as him. One thing for sure they must be awesome people to have bought a son up to be the person he is. Having played cricket with Rob's dad Geoff, I can confidently say that Rob is a chip of the old block. Bot...

I would hate to lose Dal, but he needs to get fitter and take more risks.
I think Kosi was injured as well.

Dal will never take more risks because he is too selfish!

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. S...

Spot on Animal!

What a load of crap! St Kilda players need to get their HEADS right, not their bodies!!!

We would be far better off looking for a younger forward than going after Hall. The recruiters at the Saints should go all out to lure a Lonergan or Hawkins away from Geelong. Lets face it, one of them is bound to miss out on a regular game with the pussies...

I agree... I said at 1/2 time during the prelim that Dal should be traded and I'll not change my opinion. He consistently fails to perform in big games. Yeah, I'll concede that he might get 30 odd possessions against the likes of Melbourne and Essendon but he goes missing against quality opposition....

Wahts that got to do with this post?? you're a wanker!

You idiot Dud... Havent you been watching the game???

M Gardiner ?
F Gehrig ?
X Clarke ?

Theres 40 players on the list - take your pick!!

Unofrtunately theres too much of the "at least we made the finals" attitude amongst my fellow St Kilda supporters. We need to WIN finals, and we wont do it with t he current playing list!
