Recruitment strategy
Recruitment has been for young players - exceptionally quick and highly skilled. Also good kids with strong character.
It seems we were seen as slow and workman like rather than a classy team. Exciting forward line players have been recruited. We need to kick goals - it seems we are after blokes who can do that.

I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

maybe our strategy will go from defence being the best form of attack to attack being the best form of defence.
Our recruitment of skillful and speedy hff and wingman will go a long way to do this. Always keeping the opposition guessing, on the back foot and reactive.
It will also be more exciting to watch a team of Nicky Winmars as opposed to a team of Robert Eddys.

They also took Broc McCauleyJunction Oval wrote:They all sound good, but I am concerned about our back-up ruck situation. Rhys Stanley is certainly not what you would call a known performing ruckman.
I notice that Hawthorn picked up St Kilda/Richmond reject ruckman, Adam Pattison - bears some thought.

Well at least that we now have some kind of recruiting strategy, we can debate the merits of the players recruited under the strategy.skeptic wrote:my concern is that we generally don't have luck with medium sized players
we've got a lot of them this season
Although I supported Lyon and understood his drafting strategy was geared towards stronger body "role" playing recycled players, our young player had no rhyme or reason in theire selections, except for one.
They were all the one pedestrian pace. Young or old, large or small, all slow (except for maybe Peake and Jones).
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Interesting that actually a good chunk are not kids.yipper wrote:Recruitment has been for young players - exceptionally quick and highly skilled. Also good kids with strong character.

Wilkes, and Milera are mid twenties....and Saad 22.
Markworth is a year older than the kids.
Two more rookies who are 21 and potentially can play this season.
Recruitment strategy has diffirent tiers to it:
* Enough "mature" players to address current holes and to give us a real crack at being Top 4 in 2012.
* Plenty of young and youngish players to address the age imbalance of the list and to provide a solid platform of emerging talent to steadily transform the team over the next several seasons.
You can for example see the basis of a "next gen" midfield to take us forwards complete with Big Ben just hitting his straps.

St Kilda got the leftovers midfield.
