I agree Max should be a not negotiable But Nick was a CHF with a Coleman Medallist in front of him at that age (and he played a bit of CHB in his second season Measuring Nick in goals alone is not a reasonable comparison In his 4th season 22yo Nick was. Dual B&F winner AFLPA MVP He took a leagu...

I was chatting with a couple of Lions supporters after golf this morning, they said they would offer a first round pick, plus gift-wrapped Hipwood and Daniher in the deal to get hold of Max King. :lol: :lol: I'm sure if you ask suporters from pretty well all other teams they would love to have King ...

This isn't going to be popular but I wonder if trading Max King to bring in midfield recruits is the answer and put the development into Caminiti as out number one banana. Sometimes you have to be ruthless, Clarko did it when he first got to Hawthorn and it looks like Mitchell is doing it again at ...

The problem with Ross Lyon is that he doesn't listen to his own rhetoric. He wants to micro manage and he wants control over areas that aren't his domain E.g. player development Took him a while to listen to what people were telling him about Phillipou Let's hope he listens to the advice from DC, L...

We are also keen on a late first. Think Hotton could fall into that range.

I assume it's Taj Hotton shrodes:

Bit better in the second half thanks mainly to Windy. I would still sack the coach/coaches. Just out of interest, if Lyon was to clear out his desk at Linton Street, who would be your #1 replacement? Good question and a simple answer, Enright. Love your passion for the Saints saynta, but unfortunat...

If this bloke on Big Farty is such a reliable source, then why is he saying that Battle is in poor form ? Battle has been one of our most consistent players so far this year so that’s BS. I’m prepared to believe that he’s been offered a contract and is holding out for more. And that his management ...

I agree Don’t buy Vorts nonsense We don’t need to trade King - we need to use him better and support him I also agree Membrey is a poor support act - not big enough to demand attention, to inconsistent to be a credible threat…so all opposition attention goes to King ….sll iur players coming forward...

Two clear examples that Lyin is tanking, IMFHO . Wouldn't be surprised if that's correct and been the plan for quite a while, it is crucial for St Kilda to land the best available midfield talent available in this year's draft. And that's not just the senior coach acting independently, it will be t...

Well said skeptic! Commitment to St Kilda FC requires an enormous amount of stoicism, the ability to withstand extended periods with little or no success. I've often said to family, friends and supporters of other teams that Saints supporters are unique because unlike any other fans we have been awa...

Majority of draft picks are "pigs in a poke", even more so those taken in the mid year draft. Just look at the numerous players selected in the rookie drafts that go on to have illustrious careers in the AFL, as against early draft picks that turn out to be duds. If reports about Max Hall ...

They know what they're doing. It's all part of the development plan ...anyone questioning the club or the head coach is a Lyon hater. Only some Scollop, only some.... It really depends on the issue that arouses critical discussion. Likewise there are those like myself who support the choice the clu...

Someone should convince Lyon to try Max King in defence. Maybe at FB? Starting with a few simulations during training, maybe? Open up the forward line ... and the possibilities. No more bombing it into the F50 as the go-to plan. We need to concentrate on recruiting quality midfielders ... Max King ...

I didn't find much wrong with that comment tbh, it is a reasonable proposition because St Kilda did over-achieve last year and got many us super excited about the prospects for this year, I tipped them to achieve top 6. In retrospect if we had examined the quality of the list thoroughly and dispassi...

Do we suspect it might be the Chinese Communist Sate? "Sate" originates in Malaysia and Indonesia, best bought from street vendors who carry small charcoal burners plus ingredients - grilled while you wait, on bamboo skewers, with a choice of pork, chicken, lamb, goat or beef and served w...

North must be kicking themselves for not tanking and getting hold of Harley Reid when they had the chance, he looks to me like the best draftee this century, and that includes Chris Judd. Such incredible strength and pace, an absolute game breaker! Great challenge and opportunity for Darcy Wilson fr...

Gone by 2026 - Crouch, Ross, Webster, Campbell, membrey, Wood, You can add Zak Jones to that list "os", maybe Dougal Howard who I expect will be surpassed by Arie Schoenmaker. Question marks also about Matthew Allison, Ryan Byrnes, Brad Hill (same age as Wood) and possibly Jack Hayes, Dan...

You're blinded by your love

Can't the same be said about Ross Lyon haters??

You're blinded by your hate

Lack of talent, youth and experience = skill errors. It's what a hard rebuild looks like. Why is that so hard to understand leading supporters to want a villain to hate? We are well short of the talent and experience required to compete, that is all. It's a rarity for me to be on the same page as m...

Apart from Ned Moyle there is also Nick Bryan from Essendon who is languishing in the seconds and racking up some impressive stats. Both are just 22 and only a year older than Max Heath who in Campbell's absence was reported to have had a very good game in Sandringham's close loss to Box Hill. Hard ...

The cynic in me suggests that this is another classic case of a player manager whispering to gullible media that his gun player is slated to go to another team, done entirely to jack up his new salary when his contract is up for renewal. Like the supposed Battle/Windhager BS rumour, meaningless nons...

Rumours, unless their sources are revealed, are nothing more than mischievous speculation to suck in the innocents, absolute nonsense, especially at this time of the year.

Why anyone would post this sort of garbage is beyond my comprehension!

Whilst the buck stops with the senior coach in modern football coaching players and teams involves input from a number of other coaches at the club. I share the view that it's surprising that Robert Harvey is responsible for the forwards as that was not his speciality when he played, in contrast to ...

Very good discussion. I felt really flat after watching the telecast of our team losing by 5 points to bottom 4 placed Hawks at Aspley Hornets AFL club with a good mate. It was yet another game where St Kilda never really got going, playing a poor brand of football which was in total contrast to 202...
