Geary, Howard, Steven, Allen, Connors - All eligible next year. Howard? Don't you have to be on an AFL list to be eligible for the Rising Star? Howard is on StKildas list Not next year. Has just signed a contract until 2010. He has earned the right to keep improving, was always a longer term prospe...

Re: Rookies
*Mini, Geary, Eddie, Attard and Jones have all played a goodly number of games for us in that 2 year period and look like playing many many more. Yeah, none of them are world-beaters yet but looking OK. It's mainly thanks to persistence - promoting them and then picking them consistently, giving th...

Re: 2004, 2005 & 2008 compared
Perceptions are everything, some say. We finished third in 2004 and fourth in 2005 with an interstate trip week 1 of the finals in both years but this year, fourth with no travel Was I the only one who was reminded of 2005 during Sunday's game? 2005 R22 St Kilda 28.18 186 d Brisbane 7.5 47 Goals: M...

I don't think it is a useless stat, but I can't prove it at this stage... :wink: average possessions in a win: 353.64 average possessions in a loss: 333.39 We definitely have more possessions when we win, by 20. The quarters that we do well in are the ones where we have lots of touches. But that doe...

I should note, this is those who have played over 4 games. The others: Baker 10.5, Allen 7.7, Ferguson 6.0, McEvoy 6.0, Rix 4.0 All fall into the last group except Bakes, who can hopefully get fit one day and again play a role. Ferguson and Rix will be soon gone, and Allen and McEvoy have a long way...

We're the worst in the AFL at sharing the load. Here's a pretty crude measure; it's the number of players who've averaged more than 14 disposals per game for the season: Fremantle 21 Geelong 20 Adelaide 19 Essendon 19 Melbourne 19 West Coast 19 Richmond 18 Hawthorn 17 Bulldogs 16 Port Adelaide 16 Ca...

Ya gotta remember who we're playing - it's Adelaide and they've got a pretty good midfield. We need to make sure we've got enough legs. Adelaide have 18 players averaging more than 14 disposals a game; we have 11. IN: X Clarke, Birss OUT: Eddy, C Gardiner/Gwilt Of course Bally comes back in when fit...

Time to update this a little. There's a few players on their last chance in this game and the next two rounds, and then we'll know exactly who should stay and who should go. This, I reckon, is why Lyon's picking from the dregs. We're not gonna win a flag this year. May as well last-chance some medio...

Re: Retirements (Harvs, Max, King). I'd keep any of those who wanted to stay, especially the first two who can be veteran listed. But I think it's fairly likely it will be a rebuilding year, after missing or just scraping into finals. While they'd be more than handy in mentoring roles, it's unlikely...

So, to summarise. Retirements, for their own sake (4): King Hudghton Gehrig Harvey Gone, most likely (8): Fisher, L Clarke, R Fiora Blake Gardiner, C Rix McQualter Gwilt (These have the benefit of simplifying our surnames - then there's only one Fisher and Clarke and Gardiner!) Make or Break (6): Sc...

St Kilda List 2008
Well, there are obviously serious problems with the footy club at the moment - we can't win games. Partly, this can be fixed by the coach and his tactics. The second part of the equation is list management. Some players are going to have to go, and more will be brought in. So let's have a look at th...

He is going to be a wasted talent.

Everyone who's ever watched Dal knows that he could and should win a B...

5 - Hayes - Set the example through the midfield with hardness and skill. 4 - Ball - His most consistent game in some time, though a quiet first quarter detracts. 3 - Hudghton - I love you, Max. Impossible spoils all over the shop. 2 - X Clarke - Three goals, hard-running, ball winning. Slowly becom...

hey thats great news. that means the saints will only pick 3 players in the national draft, unless they delist more! would that be correct? we have until 31 October to lodge our first list lodgement before the draft.
