Pre-season so far.....
St Kilda continues to build strong links with New Zealand, holding its December pre-season training camp in Queenstown. Players were put through a strenuous program of hiking, mountain bike riding, hill sprints and lengthy football sessions, with an early focus on game style. The club's new recruits have settled in well, with the promise from coach Alan Richardson that there will be opportunities for them in 2015. Team bonding was also a focus for the young group, with activities including white water rafting. Jarryn Geary and David Armitage have shone so far.
Training return: January 7.
Community Camp: Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland, December 1-3, Tyabb, December 1
NAB Challenge games: Game one v Brisbane Lions, Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex, Burpengary, Saturday, February 28, 3.10pm
Game two v Essendon, Morwell Recreation Reserve, Saturday, March 7, 4.40pm
Game three, v Hawthorn, Etihad Stadium, Thursday March 19, 7.10pm
Round one: v Greater Western Sydney, Etihad Stadium, Sunday, April 5, 1.10pm

Hope we play 7 home games at Wellington and 4 in Aucland even though it would have to be 10 a side.

Hey <edited by mods>West, has it ever occurred to you all this NZ stuff we are doing is prob part of the agreement to get 500K for our one game?
If they offered us a mill for 2 games then sure let's do it, but that may never happen.
It's all about how much we are bribed to be there.
Capiche?

Probably depends on whether the $$ is coming from the NZ Govt or the City of Wellington.saintspremiers wrote:Hey <edited by mods>West, has it ever occurred to you all this NZ stuff we are doing is prob part of the agreement to get 500K for our one game?

If the dollars are coming from Wellington then they'd have no impact on a decision to do a training camp in Queenstown.
I reckon we might have a sponsorship lined up with NZ Tourism (the camp footage was a fantastic advertisement of NZ, especially the South Island).

Yes was an interesting show. Jed Bartlet's daughter and Diver Dan with the sheila from the Paino.

Didn't see any St.Kilda footballers in it, but the tenuous connection is underage sex I suppose.
