Entirely predictable that the footy media will jump on this insignificant story and link it to disharmony between the senior coach and CEO. What would they, or for that matter St Kilda supporters, know about the real facts. A lot of this stems from the way people perceive Ross Lyon, it's been that w...

Stop telling me what it does - that’s obvious But tell me how it directly relates us to winning a second premiership I’m not interested in community benefits - we are not a community club - we are an elite sporting organisation Why does it have to relate to St Kilda winning another premiership, I c...

No one has ever suggested that establishing a welfare centre at Moorabbin in memory of a club great who suffered severe depression from serious head traumas while playing for St Kilda was ever intended to contribute to the Saints winning a second premiership. The DFC is a club resource used by the ...

It's unlkely that reserves games will ever be played again before the seniors like they did in the old days, for a variety of reasons, and that's not a problem. If St Kilda ditch their current association with Sandringham, which is my preference, then the Dragons will have the option to remain in a ...

I just don’t see how the DFC contributes to StK winning a premiership? I mean, from a club point of view what’s the point of it?! No one has ever suggested that establishing a welfare centre at Moorabbin in memory of a club great who suffered severe depression from serious head traumas while playin...

In our latest weekly lunch with my Saints mates in Brisbane we discussed the pros and cons of St Kilda's reserves team competing in the VFL in it's own right and sporting the club's iconic jumpers. Media reports indicate that both SA teams plus WC Eagles are open to having their reserves team play i...

End of story!!

"What would be the odds??"

Astronomical

Riley Bonner may well be selected ahead of Jimmy Webster and Liam Stocker for the spare HB spot, has runs on the board from his PA days too. Likewise Lance Collard could give Jack Higgins and Dan Butler a run for their money at HF or in the pocket. Ross Lyon will be licking his lips at the prospect ...

I can't believe it, David King, who normally goes out of his way to bag St Kilda, has actually predicted on SEN that they will improve in 2024, quite extraordinary!! His rationale is the same as mine, St Kilda finished 6th last year and have in the view of most commentators added considerable talent...

A fine tribute to a little known physiotherapist in Melbourne successfully pioneering new treatments for what were once considered career ending injuries for professional ballet dancers, as well as elite athletes in all sports codes.

If Tim Membrey gets back to playing in best form it might be difficult for Cooper Sharman to get a game as third tall, a role that Michito Owens excelled in last year; Mattaes Phillipou is another one in contention for that spot. While I like Sharman, I'm not sure he is in my best 23, much will depe...

Champion Data stats the way they are related in this article are pretty meaningless as it is based on individual players rather than the performance of the team in 2023. St Kilda having achieved the comp's best defensive system in 2023 is a far more important guide to how our team will perfom in 202...

So Lyon is hiring and firing? Interesting Not normally the role of the senior coach Lyon would not be hiring and firing, that is not the role of the SC, but he would have significant input on who he wants or the type of person he wants. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a senior coach building ...

From today's Hun, not to be read by anyone who disparages the Murdoch press :lol: " ST KILDA TO KICK ON by Jay Clark They have already been dubbed likely sliders in 2024. The popular theory is St Kilda caught the opposition off guard in 2023 by making finals but are set to come back to the pack...

Bassett and Lyon cleaning house leaving no stone unturned Dalrymple probably wants his own people too and that’s ok I never ever felt listening to Roughead that his heart was in it …always looked like a bit of work experience till he could get back to Hawks (probably got a gig already sewn up) Anyw...

Having left Melbourne forever in 1958 and now living in Brisbane I feel really grateful to be part of this online supporters group to quench my insatiable appetite for all things St Kilda. Thanks skeptic, you are doing a very good job moderating this forum (almost seamlessly) and I can't think of an...

It's interesting to look deeper into the stats, following are the comparisons of goal kicking accuracy between Jack Higgins and Dan Butler in 2023: Higgins averaged 2.3 shots at goal per game with accuracy at 43.4% Butler averaged 3.8 shots at goal per game with accuracy of 61.1% Butler clearly is w...

Most of the foregoing banter is way off the topic

Although the stats say that Higgins had a better season in 2023, there were times when I felt he was underperforming with wastefulness in front of goals his major weakness. There has also been criticism that he is below par in defensive pressure, with his partner in crime Dan Butler rating much high...

I wouldn't be taking much notice of remarks by Ross Lyon such as this one about Windhager. As Vortex has perceptively pointed out, today's game is not really about individual running players such as Windhager being locked down in just one position. Windhager is on the cusp of establishing himself in...

Of course, they should kick it to King, but that misses the point of the discussion. It's a problem when they constantly look for him when he has three opposition defenders hanging off him instead of other players who are in a better position. It's a double-edged sword. Perhaps it's time for King t...
