Re: THE eternal stkilda problem of poor disposals

This post is 100% spot on. Even Billings had an off day today, but we must part ways with players like Geary. The sooner the better. A good team simply needs good users of the ball. It's all well and good when Geary can stop dangerous smalls, but it's obviously pointless if he hands it straight bac...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Pies @ MCG

Billings is an incredibly clean player. Every time it's in his hands you know something is about to go down.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Pies @ MCG

Dunstan best game in a long while. He can still miss targets by foot, but he was clean by hand today.

Re: Members

Just the digital membership this year. Good deal to get all the games live (Foxtel can die). I'll try to go to 1 or 2 games this year as well as all our Adelaide games. Kind of not looking forward to R1 though, Port always beat us here.

Re: What Happened to the Dot in "St.Kilda"?

There's actually a very cool history behind that name. It was named after a boat called "Lady of St Kilda", which was named in honor of Lady Grange, who was imprisoned on the island of Hirta, the largest island in the St Kilda archipelago in Scotland. And the origin of the name of that pla...

Rookie upgrade via Carlisle ban

So who should we upgrade for the year?

If Holmes has a big preseason and/or one of Hickey, Longer struggles I wouldn't mind seeing him have a few games.

Re: Carlisle ban?

My hatred for Essendon will likely never end. I even wrote to the club (just for laughs) before the trade saying that we shouldn't give up 5 for Carlisle. I didn't really know that much about him. I had heard good things about him, but never saw him play a great game.

Re: How will our key backs structure up?

Got no problem with Delaney back in the side myself. Not sure why everyone is so concerned about his lack of an offensive game - he's a full back. A very good one from what I've seen.

Re: who is the surpise this year

We have good ruck stocks in Hickey and Longer (who are both young). I don't think we should mess with that.

Ross would have pretty good value, but I do think he'd have more at the end of next year.

One of Ray/Geary/Gilbert as mentioned I'd be ok with.

Favourite 3 games this year?

For me I'd say:

1. Round 6 v Dogs (clearly)
2. Round 19 v Cats (great contest, highly entertaining game that felt as good as a win, plus it reminded me of the rivalry we used to share with them)
3. Round 11 v Demons (just for the finish)

Re: Holmes to debut?

The beginning of the Holmes era of AFL. Three premierships, one brownlow, six AAs! Retires at 34 a future HOF! Begins a trend of American college stars coming over - none ever as good, but three later earn medals amongst st kilda's 17 premierships between now and 2050. A must watch game! http://i.i...
