Good point Joffa5! I watch most the Saints games on TV (living in Brisbane) and it has long been apparent that with few exceptions most players show signs of fatigue throughout the game. Just look at Jack Billings, Luke Dunstan and Blake Acres who regularly stand gasping for breath after a brief run...

So Sexton survives? :evil: I gather as director of coaching, the same rules re Aug 1 don't apply? Will he stay or go? I have argued long and hard that Danny Sexton most definitely has to go if the club is serious about changing the downward direction of the Saints. Just to reiterate: Sexton was dra...

St Kilda has been struggling in the PR field for years now. It is most evident in the club's inability to attract a big name sponsor, and whilst we have to respect the commitment of the current club sponsors, not one of them is exactly a "household name". I don't know what RSEA are paying ...

Blake Caracella would make an excellent Director of Coaching at St Kilda, to replace Danny Sexton who surely will not survive "Lethlean's Cull". In fact he is exactly what St Kilda need to improve in 2019. DoC represents a step up for Caracella and puts him in a prime position to succeed R...

So - the club half-went down this path in late 2016. I think I posted about it at the time. Out of contract, BJ was pretty keen to explore the possibility come back. Asked his management to check it out. He missed the club; still loves the place and wanted to finish his career alongside his mates, ...

The club is on record to be in the market for suitable free agents that may be available at the end of this season. Following is a full list of players eligible to change clubs, with some already recommitting to their existing clubs: Restricted Rory Sloane (Adelaide); Cam Guthrie (Geelong); Tom Lync...

No way should St Kilda trade Jack billings - over my dead body!! I've expressed my views on the post about Paddy McCartin - clean out the assistant coaches who have been proven failures, namely Sexton and McPhee, replace them with successful assistant coaches who have actually played at the elite AF...

Granted that Paddy is not playing to the standard we expected, and the same goes for Billings, you can probably include Acres and Dunstan as well. Fact is that St Kilda don't have the talent in the coaching ranks to develop young players, especially early draft picks, to reach their potential as qui...

Looking up this song on Youtube led to the following clip from the Coodabeen Champions, it's a timeless classic featuring an interview with Saints supporter Sandy Roberts:



Enjoy!!!

Whatever way you want to spin it, if we don’t make finals this year coach gets sacked. That should be a known entity from the start of this season. No excuses. IF the assistants are rubbish for so long now, if Richo was worth his salt he would’ve jumped up and down and asked for replacements by now...

[/quote] Understand if a new ticket comes in it will be a completely different story. My opinion... Richo will remain, turtle will move on. Danny is an interesting one. Really well thought of in AFL circles and has had offers from other clubs. I really am unsure of that one. [/quote] I am in no doub...

In these grim times, we can do with some light relief...God knows we could do with a laugh to distract us away from the dark space the Saints are in right now.

Last night's appalling effort against the Sydney Swans was a clear sign that St Kilda is a basket case, devoid of effort, devoid of ideas, devoid of spirit, and especially, devoid of character. In fact, lacking in every facet of the game. Well may we laud the 2 goals by Josh Battle, but I think it w...

Let's get this thread back on track...I'm delighted to read that Elshaug and Kingsley are reported to be gone at the end of this year. But I'm going to get back on my hobby horse and point out once more that the same focus, if not greater, should be on Danny Sexton. For those of you who missed my ea...

I take a different approach to St Kilda's coaching issues - I do not believe that Richo is the problem. The real focus must be on our Director of Coaching, Danny Sexton, the one who wields most influence over every aspect of coaching, including senior coach Richardson. Sexton sits alongside Richards...

It was all that long ago that St Kilda and Melbourne were considered to be line ball to progress up the ladder. In fact, St Kilda even boasted that their list was good enough to challenge for a top four spot, if not a premiership, in 2018. Close to the half-way mark of the 2018 season, we now know t...

Danny Sexton has been at the club since 2006 - that is 12 years and for much of that time he has had a key role in player development, he is currently Director of Coaching. According to Google Sexton was drafted by North Melbourne in 1990 but never actually got to play senior footy. Irrespective of...

I like the theme of this post, and certainly feel utterly heart broken to see the season slip away with barely a whimper, in the same manner as the team has been doing in most games this year. I would like to think that there is somehow an easy fix, as the Bombers did knocking off Geelong after sack...

Thanks Teflon - how about it Moderators, can you set this up, I'm sure this will get a lot of support!

For the record, I have been a financial member of St Kilda FC for more than 30 years, even though I have lived away from Victoria since 1958. As to the point about "only members" being entitled to support a Saintsational petition, it should be noted that this forum states in its masthead: ...

With a season record of 1.5 wins after 8 rounds, and Collingwood, Richmond, West Coast Eagles (away), Sydney, Gold Coast Suns (away) to come before the mid-year bye, there is every likelihood that St Kilda will be 1.5 wins from 13 games, and be a certain cellar dweller at season's end. So much for t...

There were moments in the game where he looked distinctly like Nicky Winmar - physically he is only 1 cm shorter than "Elvis" and at age 20 is only in his infancy in the AFL. Reckon he will become a star, has the footy smarts and just needs to get more games under his belt to develop his p...

The team has hit rock bottom so you'd like to think that things can only get better
