Re: Caldwell and Durham
No A grader will come to St Kilda unless we are willing to over pay drastically. That list proves it, the only player on that list that you could say was an A grader when he came was Hill and we paid exorbitantly for him. When we have chased top line talent we almost always lose out to more desirabl...

Re: Phillipou
He has just signed a new deal so I find it hard to believe this is true.
However, if it is we should be saying top 5 pick minimum or top 10 with a second round pick as well.
We don't need to trade him so we should be asking for well over the odds.

Re: Mark Robinson interviews Andrew Bassat
Well I object to the word irrelevant in that context. If St Kilda is irrelevant then so are we the supporters and members. You cannot separate the two. You may well object but it doesn't make it wrong. In the eyes of the AFL and the majority of football followers we are irrelevant and will remain s...

Re: Matchday Thread-Saints v Power
Suggesting Max was told to let Zerk-Thatcher humiliate him is a bit much for even you two ideologues, isn't it? Yes, because of course he plays differently every other week doesn't he. Every other game he dominates his opponent by leading into space constantly and never tries to play like a stay at...

Re: Matchday Thread-Saints v Power
The issue I have is I wonder if he is playing how he is being told to? Is he being told to stay within the 50 m arc and be there to contest. He is doing that constantly and is ineffective at it as he just physically not the gorilla forward type. I find it hard to believe that he is being instructed ...

Re: Rowan Marshall is unhappy?
Term used was "unsettled ". 124 games. AA Leadership Group. Undisputed first ruck and best player in the Club. Performing very well. Multi year contract. Sure, that would be unsettling. Lot of tosh? Club sliding down the ladder. Looking very unlikely that we will be challenging within the...

We will be truly unwatchable this weekend.
In fact, I would go as far as to say I think we will be lucky to even bother the scorers.

Re: Will Phillips anyone??
It is hard to take the game on when you are coping an absolute flogging week in week out.
I have no idea if he is any good or not having not seen enough of him to comment.
However, Mason Wood was a player North didn't really want to keep and sometimes a change is all that is needed to flourish.

We are discussing the coaching masterclass of falling over the line against a side whose last win away from home was over 12 months ago. The masterclass was dragging a side who can't win away down to our level. The cult moves in mysterious ways. When we win it is all the coach yet when we lose it is...

Re: 3 veterans are done
You cannot just have a clear out and go to the draft needing 6 or 7 players. Then you end up with picks in the 70s and 80s who you have to give 2 year contracts to and whose chance of ever being good enough to become a regular AFL player is about 1 in 20. You can bring in a bunch of 26/27 year old c...

Re: Is it us?
I doubt it is us as by Ross's own admission we train less than other clubs. We pay full-time wages for part-time footballers. Given the players only need to be at the club 16 hours a week they are allowed plenty of time for their own endeavours outside football, so why wouldn't they be happy.

Let's forget about trying to trade in a star midfielder, it will cost too much and we are just not desirable enough of a destination. We need to go to the d...
