If our recruiters do their job properly and use pick 35 prudently, we will get a better player than Walsh in the draft. And that is not speculation or clairvoyancy - as Steven J Peake would say. I base that on this - we have the 35th pick to select any player in Australia that we like. The entire c...

gold coast pick 4 and what ever else the added for jaeger omeara was pretty good trade, essentially traded pick 4 in this years draft for pick 1 in next years draft.

As someone posted earlier "Richmond will be spewing they only got pick 79 for Morton" who is 24 and has played 50+ games of ALF and kicked 88 goals. Yes it is a shame we did not get to see Tommy play a senior game for the saints, but pick 35 and 68 for a rookie is not bad compensation for...

ok ok agreed all of the top 10 look like hits but thats a reflection of the correct decisions made in terms of recruiting rather than the talent of it. Those players arnt any more talented than the top players from just about any other year. It just might be that the top 10 of 08's draft turn out to...

Look at the positives 1 first round and 3 second round picks for a couple of guys that played 5 games between them! 25. St Kilda 35. St Kilda 37. St Kilda 42. St Kilda 60. St Kilda 68. St Kilda 78. St Kilda 96. St Kilda And Saad was ranked by many as top 30 in the draft. lynch was what? pick 12 or ...

Still cant agree with you, 2006 was worse than any year. Armitage at pick 9, brad howard 27, jarryd allen 59, mathew ferguson 74 and thats it. and in 2004 our first 3 picks got us mcqualter, ackland and mcgough. Peakes first year in 07 got us McEvoy and your avatar image jack steven the other years...

Dont see how people are arguing that the fact he hasnt debuted means he was of no value so it wasnt ross' fault. People that are in pro tommy walsh group are arguing that he should have been played, its not tommys fault he wasnt played. Those who think a mistake was made saw tommy play and believed ...

Not sure if its already been mentioned but im sure watters said this morning walsh was "absolutely" off the trade table. I know walsh was only a rookie but I would really appreciate stkilda making an effort to explain why this has occured given our new coach said he was "absoultely&q...

I blame John Peake! Our first round picks from the two years under his watch are now torched in the space of a week. Although 2009's pick 16 was already burnt, Walsh was the justification for gambling with it. Saints must be looking for draft picks after missing other deals - delistings to come. Do...

Some of you people really give me the sh1ts... Here is a guy who has played our game for less than three years who played a handful of resonable games with a bottom 4 VFL side who lost twice as many games as they won. You people act as though he were the messiah... Well let me tell you... HE IS NOT...

im hearing ken hinkley, no source or anything just rumour

If another club offers a heap of $$$$ for one of our VFL players who has never played an AFL game, then so be it. There are much more important things to worry about going on at our club ATM. As someone (plugger66?) has said on here, if Walsh wasn't Irish, who would give a stuff: including the medi...

Pelchen confirms we have issues,,, http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/124832/default.aspx having read that article i now dont think gilbert is gone either. if we have problems but they are saying we want to keep ray and dawson and all the stars, then who are we gonna trade. wou...

really couldnt see us losing goddard but i think gilbert may be on his way. i like gilbert but not too dissappointed by this as we might get some value for him. Wouldnt be surprised to see dawson or ray at freo next year either.

agree that stevens kicking isnt always super clean but he is a far better kick than jonesy regardless of efficiency stats. jonesy knows his limitations and doesnt try to spear pass's meaning he only does short chips which limits his effectiveness as a player. His most common effective kick is the sh...

just had alook on Phoebe OSullivan 3AW newsreader twitter and she says the following: StKilda Football Club confirms security at Holliava B ar in Richmond kicked out Brett Peake out last night.He leant on a tree and damaged it.COPS CALLED. did the tree call the cops? What branch were the cops from ...

I thought it was hilarious and had a good chuckle. I took it as they were taking the piss out of kim duthie and nixon not stkilda. Riewoldt said on Gameday a while ago that he thought geelongs mad mondays looked fun so when I saw the picture I hoped the saints boys had a laugh. I reckon there is a b...

can not believe walsh wasnt even an emergency last week! If he had've been he may have travelled to Sydney and not played any game at all (a la Gamble) To use your own parlance: WORST POSSIBLE RESULT I do not know for sure but I would have assumed that when kosi and dawson went down walsh would hav...

Worst Result in: dawson, kosi out: Baker, lynch and we lose (no change, no risk, no reward, not good enough) Better Result in: walsh out: who cares and we lose (walsh gets a game we get excited, dissappointed with loss but at least some change to try and improve) Better Result in: dawson, kosi out; ...
