We are probably only going to retain Shenton from the rookie list through upgrades and delistings, so I would be keen to have him on the list if we had injury problems with miss next year.

Blakey, you are the ultimate clubman. Your service on and off the field is one that has strengthened the St Kilda playing group and more importantly its culture. You will be example for new St Kilda players in years to come for work ethic and what is required to pull on the Saints jumper.

Will be interesting to see what Scotty does. With Milera out, and Saad somewhat out of action with Ramadan, will TDL get more games? Or more to the point, will we see Ledger come in, since he can kick goals, and provide midfield pressure? Shenton should also be very excited given his performance tod...

OUT: Roberton (conc), TDL, Ray IN: Geary, Ross, Ledger E: Dunell, S: Ledger Jones really needs to tag Selwood next week. If he nullifies him we may have a chance. What's up with Newnes? Might be time for him to have a break too, played 11 games in a row now. If he needs a rest, bring Dunell in. B: S...

In: Dennis Lane, Milera, Murdoch, Saunders, McEvoy Out: Curren, Ledger, Ross, Webster, Simpkin Port have only been playing one ruck, and with Westhoff out, it is a good chance for Stanley to play on Butcher and get some confidence. Bringing Simpkin in will also free him up. Wright would be good to h...

Wright we should manage, will be a player for us. Best to do some conditioning, ...

IN: Blake, Hickey, Siposs, Dunell OUT: Simpkin, TDL, Milera, Ray Gilbert on the edge, Ledger close, Curren close if we elevated him. We can't afford to continue to play 3 or 4 small forwards, we don't have enough midfielders to rotate through, and are relying on their ball handling skills and defens...

OUT: Dempster, Blake, Saad/Milera IN: Dunell (Sub), Simpkin, Wright We have had 4 and 3 players who can play as small forwards last two week,s I think we need some more run through the midfield, and Saad/Milera do not provide that to the same extent as Schneider does. More rotations through the midf...

In: Fisher, Simpkin, Montagna, Dempster, Schneider Out: Blake, Dennis-Lane, Saad, Gilbert/Jones, Ray Simpkin in if we want to release Dempster into a midfield tagging role. Gwilt to provide run with Siposs, Roberton & Geary. Close between Jones and Gilbert, Jones might be of more value this week...

Scott Watters Press Conference after NAB Rd.2 on Rhys Stanley playing back... "Yeah he will, that won't preclude him from playing at the other end of the ground either, but at this stage, we'd like to settle him in the back six. Obviously we'd like to strengthen that area from a height point of...

Yep, playing on Reid

CJ and Winmar were IMO VERY, very lucky to survive as it was. I reckon one or both will be delisted to give us a few picks in the PSD A few picks? When was the last time any club took more than one player in the PSD? 2007 - Essendon: Bellchambers and Josh Williams 2006 - Carlton: Ackland and Cam Cl...

How about... I wouldn't mind using the likes of Gilbert, Jones, and Schneider and our compensation pick in trading a big pick over. We can then use said pick for trading a fullback over to us, for example Frawley. Gilbert and Gwilt are similar really, so we can afford to lose one, with Saad and Mile...

Are we set to announce two new players?

St Kilda has updated their website. They have deleted our delistings and left them blank, but also added two new slots where #47 and #48 should go...

Funnily enough, Sam Crocker is also still there...

That needs to go on YouTube, hopefully the club will do up a video today

Was looking at the list today, what will happen with CJ? Could we be offering him and Winmar (another WA boy) up to trade to Freo? What would we want from Freo though...

Hindsight is a wonderful thing... 2001 AFL Draft Picks 2, 5, 21, 37, 49 Rookie Picks 2, 18 2. Luke Ball for Chris Judd (#3) 5. Xavier Clarke for James Bartel (#8) 13. Nick Dal Santo 21. Matt Maguire 37. Leigh Montagna 49. Josh Houlihan for Dane Swan (#58) Rookie Draft: 2. Josh Dicketts for Carrazo (...

There is no doubt Ledger is a ball magnet, averaging 24 disposals for Sandy (up to 30 June). His issue is his disposal efficiency is down at 61%. Last 3 games (up to 30 June) he was in the 50-60% region.

Ray (69%), Peake (73%) and Ross (71%) all are better than Ledger in this regard at VFL level.
