Quite true that St Kilda faces a very tough two opening games, Geelong at the Cattery followed 5 days later with a game at the G against the reigning premiers, and a likely (on paper) 0-2 start to the 2024 season. It will be an early reality check for the team but it's hardly a foregone conclusion a...

No excuses from here on in, Max was picked to be our franchise/marquee player. Has to kick 60+ next season to announce himself as such otherwise it will become very concerning with regards to wasting another FRDP. Needs to improve his mindset and not spit the dummy when he loses contest or misses o...

The childish, condescending tone of responses by some individuals on this forum makes ones skin crawl

Adult???? Juvenile more appropriate.......

DeMattia will be gone well before our second pick Not necessarily, Foxsports ranks DeMattia at 29 in the pecking order, St Kilda's 2nd pick currently 21 will drift out but not as far as 29.... https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/draft/fox-footy-afl-draft-2023-rankings-top-50-afl-draft-news-2023-prospe...

Board members work behind the scenes, there's no way anyone will ever find out what Jason Blake's input has been but suffice to say that as a very experienced past player (219 games, 14 years) he qualifies as a competent football person. He graduated at RMIT wirh a double degree in Bachelor of Civil...

Gauged on some of the comments you would think St Kilda either stalled or went backward in 2023, that the wheels on the Saints bus are likely to fall off. I agree that the jury is still out on giving a vedict on Ross Lyon Mk III, but let's wait and see how 2024 pans out before making any judgments o...

Following is the review of St Kilda's performance in 2023 on AFL.com: " STRENGTHS: Ross Lyon's arrival has turned the Saints into the best defensive team this season, conceding just 71.6 points a game (No.1) and ranking top four for points conceded both from turnover and clearance. Conceding a ...

Dan McKenzie will only ever be a depth player. Hopefully gets to play 100 games in RWB. That's probably true, and as such it would seem highly unlikely that any other club will make a play for him simply on the basis that he puts in a strong pre-season. He's no certainty to force his way into the t...

A damned sight better!

His first mistake was to actually answer the media question. His job was to sell the club in the media, not reinforce the negative image that’s already out there. Everyone apart from Geoff Walsh knows that when you're asked in a job interview about a weakness, you use it to spin how you've turned a...

My good mate Silvio keeps assuring doubtful me that Max King has been tracking Charlie Curnow's career so far in terms of number of goals scored. The latter didn't hit his straps until he was 25 two seasons ago when he kicked 64.42, this year at age 26 he kicked 81.44 from 26 games..... If Silvio's ...

If Geoff Walsh's thoughtless and insensitive comments about the club when he first started are any indication, he comes across as an overrated administrator with a big ego and someone who has poor media and communication skills. His comments, although potentially true, showed a lack of humility and...

Nothing to see here, fact is that Geoff Walsh is one of the highest regarded AFL officials in the business. He did what he was required to do in the massive overhaul of St Kilda football operations last October which resulted in the termination of Brett Ratten and return of Ross Lyon to the love of...

The idea that Jon Ralph, or any other media commentator for that matter, is not entitled to express his opinion on teams is absolute rubbish, that's a legitimate part of their job and love or loathe him, Ralph has vast experience in the industry. Whether or not supporters agree with his views is nei...

Definitely a prudent move to give another year to Tom Campbell, he's dedicated to the club and as someone else pointed out, he is a cheap ruck coach. All will be revealed whether or not Max Heath is AFL standard round about February next year when the squad is full steam into pre-season training an...

Following article comes from SEN website, written by Andrew Slevison. I wonder if it accords with AFL rules because I had a feeling that this practice was prohibited. It's a double-edged sword, especially in regard to players who move interstate when drafted. I guess that it would be nigh impossible...

One thing I think some might agree about , is that infield leadership was bad after Geary left. That's true Shane and reflects adversely on Jack Steele who succeeded Geary as skipper. It goes to prove that even one of the team's best players does not necessarily possess the attributes to be a stron...

I'm being unfairly harsh on Geary, I take it back. He gave his all, never backed down and gave outstanding service under incredibly difficult and perhaps unlucky times in terms of draft, trading, medical decisions and career ending injuries. All of that may be true CQS but so are the comments you p...

I'm sure that he would have had to do a lot of persuading to get the other directors behind him. You are still making it sound like Bassett started concocting his cunning plan when he first walked into the joint and all that he needed to do was to convince other board members, how long had he been ...

Kicking someone who's down is a mongrel act....bloody disgusting and shameful!

Reading an article on The Roar about Jack Billings' move to Melbourne, Finn Arrowsmith noted a very interesting fact about St Kilda during the Alan Richardson era: " Player development was non-existent under new coach Alan Richardson; from the four drafts after Ross Lyon left in 2011, exactly ...
