Great news Been a great acquisition for St Kilda and deserves to be our next captain. Tough, skilful and durable. More improvement left in him too. Sorry Josh but how does he deserve to be our captain? He was not even voted to be in our leadership team!!! Ooookaaaaay...hmmmmmm Let me think :idea: W...

Great news

Been a great acquisition for St Kilda and deserves to be our next captain.

Tough, skilful and durable. More improvement left in him too.

Is he a mate of Hannas and Buddy?

in hindsight more ‘could’ of been done in reality the timing is now not then He copped a lot (too much) and didn't handle it very well . His partner is life-converting. Your are correct. That is the crux of the matter. The timing is now. We all added a few bob to the go-fund-me page and that will h...

Defenders Coff and Long rated amongst our most improved in 2020 according to Champion Data...also Jack Steele continuing his upward trajectory Player 2019 2020 Diff Jack Steele 95.1 119.5 24.4 Nick Coffield 57.0 78.8 21.8 Ben Long 51.9 68.9 17.0 He’s the Saints’ midfield man of Steele. Jack Steele i...

I think Clark, Douggie and Coff have been very good for us and our backline is part of the reason we are a finals contender I reckon Howard should be in consideration but maybe Andrews is the standout full back. Plus you can only have 1 spot for a FB in the team. Would love to see how many goals How...

The only Saint player that gets a mention in the link posted below is Hunter Clark Should Dougal Howard, Callum Wilkie or Nick Coffield be in consideration? What are their stats like compared to their peers and have they beaten their opponent in most games this year? Is Jake Carlisle the best interc...

Ratts would have appreciated Ross game shutting down Neale more than Fagan

Most likely

Butler has been brilliant this year but he had a poor game against Brisbane. King looked drained and tired. These 2 and a few others could be mentally exhausted and perhaps it’s time to put a bit of fear into the playing list. I reckon if Butler is dropped or managed it will be a wake up call for th...

It is the correct decision, but what a f***** waste of time it was getting him in the first place. Instead of focussing on developing players and completing the rebuild properly they made list management errors which have delayed the inevitable We got the guy in because the incompetent coach and lea...

It's not about whether he has the talent. He sets a poor example.

Any coach worth his salt needs to set standards and must make the senior players accountable

He’s been full training for 12 weeks, and playing for 8 He’s not 100% but not as if it’s his first game back All we are doing is making excuses for him, because we want him to be a good player He’s massively overrated, always has been He was good when he played as a plus one, but as an actual defen...

I think I recall a poster on here who was pretty spot on with his early calls about 2 years ago. He predicted that we needed a cleanout of all departments after we played our JLT matches in 2018. It was a culmination of observations from our poor performances at the back end of 2017, to list managem...

So you are now making up stuff. When did Ben Long start having 'aspirations' to be captain?

Do you think one of the posters in this thread is claiming that Ben himself wants to be captain?

There's plenty of master plans to follow. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. The Hawks 2003-2006 plan is pretty good. The Doggies 2011-2014 plan is pretty good too

Recruiting and coaching are probably the key to building a list that is capable of winning a flag, but you can't sustain that success if your footy department and development of youth is crap. Clarko is the bloke who led that young squad to achieve 4 flags. The other important thing to note is that ...

Stop with the tunnel vision. As Ghost Like said there is more to a football club than just the recruiting department. Around 2009/2010 our mastermind CEO and administrators had overpaid a handful of our stars exorbitant amounts where there was zero salary cap space to recruit any 'established top en...

Ok, so you've hung shyte at a few of our players and now you want to remind us of your opinion on another player you think is shyte. I suppose it's DMac's fault we lost yesterday too

I still think we should be selling, not buying. If we add Hill, we're probably still on the wrong side of mediocre. I feel like, five years down the road, we're probably going to wish we'd kept the top-10 pick. I don't see what guys like Constable, Jones and Tomlinson add to the list either. Consta...

If St Kilda keep going down this track of bringing in players older than 26 we are doomed. Forget about Hill, Tomlinson and Zak Jones ffs. If we were a top 4 team then by all means go for it. But we are nowhere near a top 4 team. We have to keep building from the bottom up. Not the other way around...

And what’s Clarkson going to do with this list He ain’t doing much with a better team What were you saying about Clarkson? He's masterminded another opportunity for Hawthorn to play finals. Away game too. Great for their young players. Great for their fans. Great for their sponsors. Great for their...

Between his ears yes People forget the fu he showed to us at the start of his career at the Saints So If his attitude is not right he should not be playing if his body is not right he should not be playing If his love for footy is waning then he should be on the trade list Yeah but he loves earning...

Dixon is a di&*head and a total waste of space and money.....get rid of him No. I think Matt Finnis should give him a contract extension. Stability is good for the club and we don't want to risk any other clubs pinching him :roll: :shock: :roll: I could tell that Dixon wasn't getting results af...
