Salary cap doesn't work
The AFL has serious problems "on any given Sunday". The StK list was been stuffed up and abused for over a decade now.

Re: Reality Check and where we are at!!
Great OP, Vazelos ( yes, I did read it...), and I agree with cwrcyn's assessment of the list. I think the 2024 timeline is unrealistic as we are essentially rebuilding (again) and are behind others like NM and even the Hawks, particularly given our position going into this draft and the lack of trad...

Re: What a joke !
DH's recruitment was poorly executed and managed. StK now pay the price ( and history keeps repeating itself )
Doubtless, DH will be cheering for his boys to roll us over today!
We are a laughing stock ....What a joke!

If it was a "nothing trade" hows about we pay him ( Hannerbery) nothing ??? Sorry ausfatcat not persuaded by that spin. Our prospects of a premiership have been set back years by this trade....and others. The damage is broad and significant. Fans are walking away from the club and the game...

Re: Is there a St Kilda culture anymore?
The legacy of Lyon primarily shapes the club's present culture. His treatment of Ball, Hudghton and their treatment of StK in the 2010 GF.....and the way Lyon departed the club. What values remain from that legacy? No great loyalty. No bond or pact between player. What message does the current circu...

Fraser Gehrig
Glad to see Fraser Gehrig smiling and happy at the footy. One of the most entertaining players of all time. He brought out the best and worst in others. Who could forget Wanganeen's "Olympic standard backward pike". The G Train often got the rough end from attention seeking umpires. (eg &q...

Re: Tasmania. Why?
The Saints will not be relocated to Tasmania as such a move would in my opinion be inconsistent with the AFL's mission. Won't happen.

Our next Captian
I much admire Jarrad Geary. I’m not suggesting he should retire or relinquish the captaincy. I think his last two games have been magnificent. However, an eye to the future, there is one player with maturity and composure that stands out. He has the evasive skills of Robert Harvey, the composure of ...

Re: Lynch mob
Difficult to quantify Yorkeys. Notwithstanding, I am simply suggesting that as fellow Saint's supporters we would be better served being civil and polite to our coaches, players and fellow supporters and acknowledge that we are only passengers on the journey.

Appalling incident. Unforgivable. Do NOT want him at the Saints !!!! I would would rather forego seeing the Saints win a Premiership than sell our soul to Gaff. Memories of Barry Hall to Sydney.

Re: 2019
My opinion is based on the team's performance this year and the scope and prospect for list change. We continue to be unable to convert in front of the goals. A few posters have suggested if we had converted a few more opportunities we would have been in front. Unfortunately we didn't. Furthermore, ...

Looking at the current crop of cellar dwellers there upside for Brisbane, Gold Coast and Carlton. The same can't be said for the Saints. In this context there is a real risk the Saints will be heading for another wooden spoon in 2019. It is difficult to imagine even with an early draft pick that the...
