Excellent.

Just about every phantom draft has us taking Phillipou at pick 10. I say don't be surprised if we end up taking Elijah Hewitt with that pick. He is the kind of explosive, gold kicking versatile mid that we are looking for. The kid has the right attitude and likes to work hard. The gospel according ...

Both Owens and Windhager love the contested stuff, especially Owens. He is the strongest 18 year old I've seen in my time watching the Saints ( a long time ). He is a beast and will be our version of Patrick Cripps. I know that's a massive call at this stage but from what I've seen he will be a pla...

He's been described as an explosive inside midfielder who is a good kick on both sides ... he won the Morrish medal. Didn't have much luck with injury early on. Could flourish in the right environment? Stocker could play as a mid-sized forward pocket even, early on? He is a good tackler and has som...

I think the timing is right. We've lost Ryder, but we always knew that was going to be very short term, so that's a bit of a negative. Let's look at what he's go to work with, and how can we be better in 2023? 1. He knows how to get the best value out of Brad Hill 2. He has Windhager, Owens, and Mi...

It’s a fair enough question to ask. I expect him to do many things and all of them very different from the way Brett Ratten went about it. And it needs to be. Otherwise, there was no point in getting RL back. He’s already done different and good. Inheriting Lenny and recruiting Harvey and BJ, plus a...

What's great about all these appointments is that these guys are motivated by what's best for St Kilda, not what's best for themselves. They will be fully invested in the short and long term future of the club they love, rather than a temporary gig that looks good on their CV and keeps them in the ...

The worst kept secret in football has finally been revealed. Everything old is new again. Not exactly but there is a small sense of deja vu. RL is coach of our footy club. Again. But this time he's got his work cut out. For sure. He hasn't been an AFL coach for three years. A long time when you talk...

If we can land Lyon it will be a huge win. Ross was heavily chased by Collingwood Carlton Essendon amongst others. Let’s remember he turned them down not the other way around. He clearly is rated incredibly high in the football industry. The media will try there best to make it negative but make no...

The first sensible suggestion.

I remember what people said about Ross Lyon when he departed the Saints to go to Freo. To say it was not complimentary, and rightly so, would be an understatement. What I find slightly hypocritical and a little bemusing, is the very people who had the worst things to say about Ross Lyon, then, are n...

GT and Lyon had one thing in common: they got the players believing they could win. Doesn't matter how good you are if you don't believe you can win. And if you do believe, anything's possible - look at the doggies' flag. GT got them believing in themselves, Lyon got them to believe in his game pla...

Word is on social media that Bassat let it slip that we already have a new coach and then Lethelen corrected him and said no we don’t. Seems to me that the Lyon train is gathering steam I am struggling to understand why anyone would think/contemplate that Ross Lyon is the answer to our current pred...

The CEO in July asks the Football boss: What do you think? should we sign Ratts on for an extra 2 years Lethlean says to Finnis; Yeah sure…. Then he states in the presser just now ( when he is officially the new CEO) that he was integral in the decision to sack him? How the fk does that make any se...

Glad you're not making the decision on who our next coach should be.

From that discussion, it's clear Thomas has been in conversations with people at the club in recent months. When asked about a new coach he said coaching selection processes were for "people who don't know what they're doing" . He said you should identify the best and go out and get them....

I am super glad the St Kilda Football Club erased any doubts about where, how and why the team ended up out of the eight in season 2022. Never fear. We remain very much in the premiership window despite not playing finals footy nor even looking like we’d be good enough. I mean, what other inference...

We didn't have a player of Dunkley's quality walk out. Nor the quality of Horne-Francis, Hopper, Taranto, Jackson, Grundy, Hunter, Rankine. We didn't give away a top 10 draft pick for nothing like Gold Coast. Nor did we lose talented youngsters like Bruhn and Henry, or a key position player like Lo...

Oh, the hand wringing and moaning. Most of those players were never going to come to us for a host of reasons. get over it. Should we just trade for players for the sake of it? Now we just wait for the next round of kicking the club and everyone in it from the usual naysayers With good reason. Happ...

I know Hunter had his fair share of injuries but would be interested to know what has gone wrong behind the scenes for him to want to leave?

Let's be clear about this.

St Kilda is not a sleeping giant.

Far from it.

We're a very unsuccessful football club and have been for some considerable time.

I'm sure your intentions were good but it is still way off the mark.

According to social media, Ben Long has requested a trade to the Gold Coast Suns.

Not surprised but disappointed.

What are we likely to get as a return?
