Geelong have on their List:- Stanley, 31 years of age Touhy 32 Higgins 34 (from North Melbourne) Cameron 29 (from GWS) Smith 33 (from Hawthorn) Selwood 33 Ceglar 31 (from Hawthorn) Duncan 30 Rohan 30 Hawkins 33 Menegola 30 Guthrie 29 Dangerfield 32 (from Adelaide) Danilhaus 29 (from WB) Stewart 29 B...

Vortex, really? I would suggest you go and get vaccinated And stay off internet sites (when you are not polluting our suburbs on your "freedom" crusade) And that is not "apparently" You do not rank Coffield, Gresham, Crouch, Hill, Steele, Clark, King, Billings, Marshall, Howard, ...

Well, if anyone considering St Kilda were to browse this forum they would run a mile - in record time No Administration No Coach No Coaching Panel No players The 18th ranked Club in an 18 side competition and easily so - just not competitive And in regard media? Well, St Kilda do not rank - they do ...

0.5 to 4.1 in the last quarter to lose by 15 points to Brisbane just a couple of weeks back King kicked 0.5, remember? And other easy shots were missed And we were missing players whilst Brisbane had players missing from their line up this evening Brisbane have tonight beaten Melbourne to earn a Pre...

Move on players such as Hill and Long

Players with pace and skill plus disposal skills

We have a relatively young List with only Hill, Ross, Webster and Campbell at 30 years of age in 2023

And of those 4 only Hill is class

Yes, the likes of Wanganeen-Milera, Windhager and Owens (plus the likes of Gresham, Billings and Coffield returning - and a fit Steele, Paton and Marshall) HAVE to push well past the likes of Ross, Webster, McKenzie, Butler and Wood and put pressure on Jones to perform consistently at his best, whic...

See my contribution on the Trading and Drafting thread.

Because that is how far off we are.

Not far at all, but the resolution is easier spoken to than achieved.

In terms of where our List is and what is required from the avenues open to St Kilda to improve the List, it is interesting to note that from the 2020 side which won a final v the WB, we are now missing Carlisle, Ryder and Hannebery. So we had Carlisle as support for Howard (noting Carlisle was in t...

Actually, we add MORE talent Hopefully addressing our deficiencies being support for King, Howard and Marshall And adding class to our centre square Plus moving on the List cloggers - which includes 2 of our 3 most experienced players We need players who can run with the ball in hand then use it plu...

The comment at 12.17AM on 3 September on this thread was the catalyst for the response

This nonsense needs to be called out wherever it appears

Again contributions by certain who have no conception Firstly, Frawley and then McKernan were short duration (one season) insurance policies as a key defender and as back up for Ryder given Ryder’s Achilles problems They filled holes in the List, holes which continue absent the likes of Adams and He...

In calling out some of the absolute rubbish put on this site, the question was put that, if that was my view, why do I contribute to this site periodically I note the contribution calling St Kilda as not knowing what a football club is - by the same contributor the subject of the first paragraph Int...

The dimwits are those who do not acknowledge the skill set of McCartin, and the reason he was a Number 1 Draft Pick

Two players universally rubbished on this site without exception Shows exactly why those putting opinion on players on this site have no idea Absolutely no idea Hickey compared to Longer and McEvoy? No comparison McCartin compared to the Melbourne mid fielder? Number 1 Draft Pick for very obvious re...

Long is very strong overhead, pulling in some spectacular marks.

So you want him where he can maximize this skill also

Easier in defence than in attack.

The loss of Everitt, who pushed forward kicking goals AND Vidovic who complemented Everitt by hanging around half back was costly

Then came Rehn

The ruck domination in the absence of Everitt and Vidovich was a significant factor in the result - including structurally

Deliberately hand balling over the goal line

What is the history?

IIRC, Clarkson flew to the USA to try to convince Carlisle to go to Hawthorn not St Kilda Rattan knows Clarkson well, obviously Not all can stand Clarkson’s Langer like approach With Long, Rattan was the catalyst behind St Kilda embracing Long’s culture and cultural home a couple of years back, Long...

In the final VFL game of the season, as 1 of 6 AFL Listed players in the side which beat Williamstown, Allison had 18 disposal,, took 4 marks and kicked 1.2

The kid, coming from the background he has come from, is 20 years of age, 195cm and 79kg.

So give him time.

If BM says he has packed up all his belongings and returned to Adelaide on a permanent basis, then that is the fact. BM also informs that he shared his removal truck with James Gallagher, who is also back in Adelaide on a permanent basis. BM also informs that, as St Kilda does not have a credible AF...

Apart from the exceptional, so very rare, you are not going to get a KPP player transitioning from Under 18 football to "tearing up" the AFL the next season (or for a number of years). The likes of King are the exception. There is currently a dearth of KPP players at the level. Sydney, to ...

The reason for the absence of a core of 200 game class players in my view is that Lyon supported our clas players with rejects from other Clubs He did not promote a youth policy, giving Drafted youth the opportunity to play alongside Stars of the competition This takes a generation or more to correc...

In reviewing the List, the most obvious deficiencies are (once again) the lack of KPP players to support King and Howard, the absence of Ruck support for Marshall AND We will have 4 (yes, just 4) 30 year olds on our List in 2023, being Hill, Ross, Webster and Campbell. Then 29 year olds in Couch, Me...

Yes But the Pandemic has added a further dimension Media rights attract what they attract in terms of money into the AFL coffers The AFL is not a public company but the Media Companies are (so we know what they pay for their rights to coverage) The EPL and other completions do not have a finals seri...

Howard’s reasons for departing Alberton have not been made known - but are (or were) the subject of supporter rumour at Alberton, mostly incorrect He left Port Adelaide for personal reasons - and Port Adelaide did not want to lose him but accepted his reasons after a period of failing to address the...
