I'd guess 7-9th on the ladder. Tough draw, injuries, new coach...we did very well in 2023. But...we were VERY lucky. We stayed in the 8 because other teams losing not us winning. We can make the finals if we build a better midfield, maybe move some player in? Maybe a trade or ??? We need some inside...

End of second round already been mooted He is not worth anymore He’s a small forward, who’s had a dreadful year - why would he get a first round Compo? And we will NOT match the offer - as he wants out! On what information do you state Gresham wants out? Is this actual information or is it just ano...

After this spanking people are going to smash everyone and the Rantometer will explode!! Rant Rater: 1. RTB is a @#!% & we hate him ( although we ALL know coaches make NO difference to outcomes) 2. [PLAYER] is also a @#!% & we hate him/them....they must be replaced 3. [MEMBER] is also a @#!%...

I'm not hoping or wishing it...but I'll gladly speculate when the club throws out vague messages during finals at the last minute. Me AFP pyschologist mate bought me a coffee & cake...note: A double shot soy latte at 65 will cause chemical warefare in ye nether land. Anyway, we get to finals cha...

I reckon if a guy has his skull cut open and cancer removed...fights back into a team and they cut him loose...then goes to another team and is elite in contested possessions, goal involvements, and more...plus is our leading goal kicker 2 years in a row and he doesn't factor as a great player....w...

this seems relevant https://i.ibb.co/fSwQKdS/373582622-641607397950119-1824024186088418805-n.jpg I was WRONG. I looked at AFL stats for 2022 alone as 2023 were only finalised Tuesday. I missed that. I'm aware my math % is weak, I just guessed, lol. To state correctly: average home game attendance w...

Light reading for the saddists or is it masochists?

TRIBUNAL - AFL https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/docume ... elines.pdf

Relax its over...Brayshank has tearfully confessed to his wrongdoing, begged forgiveness & will accept a lifetime ban from all ball sports ( note: a variance requested by Brayshanks will allow him to keep a foosball table... after attending a 86 week intensive re-education camp).

Well, I've read every post on this thread. Most of them are swayed by anti-Magpie bias, which erases all traces of rationality. None of the posts, however, have picked-up on Brayshaw's lack of awareness of his surroundings prior to kicking the ball. He was Gresham-like, his eyes firmly focused on t...

Maynard is clearly the victim.
Pies are already having him bronzed for a MCG statue.
Soooo brave & inspirational.
May all players receive his contact to the face with exuberant joy knowing they've been touched by an angel.

Who do we think will take his place as the scapegoats if we lose?

I like Ross as he's got heavy scarring and seems to enjoy the flogging.

Brayshaw: 8 weeks suspension & attend co-worker anti-violence seminar.

Maynard: Awarded AFL Bravery Medal & 52 weeks of intensive counselling support, 25 years of Therapy Dog access & free dental ( his teeth cant stop chattering & will be worn done in weeks)

Theres no exact numbers released just yet, unless there is lol.... GWS avgs about 10k at home...not to flash. But if 33k is member base and 20% is whats known as "pump" ( memberships sold to increase overall numbers e.g. pets, 3 games, out of state, supporter only, etc) Then they get close...

The grass is always greener...unless it isn't. Thank God GWS saw Steele as surplus & he wanted out...but it often doesn't work out. If players aren't regularly in the 22 I reckon it's fair enough they ask to go, it's their career flying by in the 2's. If they can get a chance elsewhere and we do...

Henry would be a potentially tidy small forward that might augment our forward line nicely. He has better speed than Butler or Higgins. Butler has a specific role he plays well, Higgins could have higher regard by many if his disposal & goal kicking accuracy improved. Still great value regardles...

Going to the draft With pick 11 Pick 31 Pick 39 (Compo for Gresham) Pick 41 (Clark) 2 x Picks in 50s (one for Billings) That’s 6 picks But not exactly a strong draft hand You might get some good players from that, but not sure you’ll get many stars Others that will be looked at to get some capital ...

In 2023: We had equal Saturday arvo & late Sunday games with Kangaroos...that hurts broadcast money, ticket sales revenue and club gear sales! But...we ended up with the 3rd easiest fixture in the AFL. So hard to complain...and a bit sad we couldnt have grabbed a top 4 spot with such a rare 'eas...

He's 18. OK game. Surely we can accept that billings ain't going to win us anything and accept that bont was probably the better choice WOW, I'm surprised you didn't add the link to the draft thread where you were screaming / pleading for St Kilda to recruit Bontempelli. Oh, wait, there is no such ...

Thanks for a helluva ride in 2023 St Kilda!!

Due to injuries & new coaches I pegged us at 9-12th this year.

ALL YEAR IN THE 8!!

Sure other teams were piss poor and we benefitted...but we stayed there!

Pretty damn proud!!!

SHOULD NOT BE DROPPED. He puts more stats up than the likes of Gresham or Byrnes. Remains in the side. Get him finals experience. Develop that hunger and that experience of finals. Billings can f*** off. Wasted pick. He was lazy when I played football with him in juniors and he’s still now. Im no f...

Fantasy...Straight swap:
Dougal & Gresh for........

Big Ben Mackay...

Best of luck in the future.
He had a helluva go in 2015! It was exciting to see him crash packs.

22 we finished 10th. 23 We may finish 8th or 6th We are up 2 or 4 spots. 24 I'll take 2-4 spots up the ladder from this year! In 23, plenty of people have pointed to the ongoing youth positive development...the fact we have a great coach with amazing new assistants. A fresh vibe, new training standa...
