Here's how I rate our chances. Of course who knows what the form will be like of any two teams at anyone time? I think I have been maybe a little optimistic. others may disagree.
The Games:
Round 1 Saturday, March 24 at 3.35pm St Kilda v Brisbane at Etihad Stadium. 80%
Round 2 Friday, March 30 at 4.20pm North Melbourne v St Kilda at Etihad Stadium 60%
Round 3 Saturday, April 7 at 7.25pm St Kilda v Adelaide at Etihad Stadium 25%
Round 4 Sunday, April 15 at 4.40pm Geelong v St Kilda at GMHBA 30%
Round 5 Saturday, April 21 at 1.45pm St Kilda v Greater Western Sydney at Etihad Stadium 50%
Round 6 Saturday, April 28 at 7.25pm Hawthorn v St Kilda at University of Tasmania Stadium 45%
Round 7 Sunday, May 6 at 3.20pm St Kilda v Melbourne at Etihad Stadium 40%
Round 8 Saturday, May 12 at 8.10pm Fremantle v St Kilda at Perth Stadium 50%
Round 9 Saturday, May 19 St Kilda v Collingwood at Etihad Stadium 50%
Round 10 Saturday, May 26 at 1.45pm Richmond v St Kilda at the MCG 40%
Round 11 Saturday, June 2 at 8.10pm West Coast v St Kilda at Perth Stadium 40%
Round 12 Saturday, June 9 at 7.25pm St Kilda v Sydney at Etihad Stadium 30%
Round 13 Saturday, June 16 at 4.35pm Gold Coast v St Kilda at Metricon Stadium 60%. = 6.0 wins
Round 14 BYE
Round 15 Sunday, July 1 at 1.10pm Melbourne v St Kilda at the MCG 40%
Round 16 Saturday, July 7 at 4.35pm Port Adelaide v St Kilda at Adelaide Oval 40%
Round 17 Friday, July 13 at 7.50pm St Kilda v Carlton at Etihad Stadium 65%
Round 18 Friday, July 20 at 7.50pm St Kilda v Richmond at Etihad Stadium 45%
Round 19 Saturday, July 28 at 4.35pm Greater Western Sydney v St Kilda at Spotless Stadium 25%
Round 20 Saturday, August 4 at 7.25pm St Kilda v Western Bulldogs at Etihad Stadium 40%
Round 21 Friday, August 10 at 7.50pm Essendon v St Kilda at Etihad Stadium 40%
Round 22 Saturday, August 18 at 7.25pm St Kilda v Hawthorn at Etihad Stadium 50%
Round 23 TBC St Kilda v North Melbourne 60% = 11 wins
So 11 wins for the season on percentage chances.
Start favourite in only five games though. Equal favourite in another four.

Does anyone know what the dimensions of the new ground will be ?
IMO they should make it the same as the MCG . So when they play finals in Melbourne , it wont be that different for them .

Re: St Kilda Fixture 2018
4 Friday and 8 Saturday games is excellent...
With no obvious recruit coming in to make a huge impact it's going to have to come from within.
Mc cartin and maybe Freeman the ' new recruits' that could make an impact.
Many of the boys reaching the stage they should start finding better consistency..

Re: St Kilda Fixture 2018
Your percentages are completely made up and only based on your opinion of the teams this year.
You don't know which teams will go up and down, and that will happen, the ladder never stays the same the next year...
Injuries, game plans, team chemistry... It isn't just about what players you have, as we saw through richmond winning the premiership.

Re: St Kilda Fixture 2018
no, those percentages are the result of very complex mathematical algorithms learned over years of study in a tibetan monastry frequented by world renowned mathematicians and physicists burnt out by the corporate takeover of science in the west and in earnest quest of self discovery. A genius by the name of Bourbaki took me under his wing as an philosophical acolyte, and schooled me in the theories of Aristaeus the Elder. His theories borrow heavily from the geometric concept of euclidean space and are likely divine in their origin, and as such my percentages posted above are grounded in an absolute truth.Raph Goat Clarke wrote:Your percentages are completely made up and only based on your opinion of the teams this year.

BTW I agree with your assessment at this stage. We can only go on what we know.
Who would have thought that the Swans would lose the first 6 this year.

Re: St Kilda Fixture 2018
Pretty good fixture really. Only have to travel to Adelaide once for our regular away game against Port Adelaide. How many times have we played the Power in Melbourne since '97.. 4 or 5 times?

Re: St Kilda Fixture 2018
Rounds one to ten should produce 5 wins.
Rounds eleven to Sixteen are a worry, 2 wins at best.
Rounds seventeen to twenty three (five home home games out of seven) should produce another 5 wins.
I'll predict 12 wins next year!

Re: St Kilda Fixture 2018
So hard to predict so many players at the level where you are asking," will he take that next step?"
I count about 12 in that 3-5 year, 40-80 game bracket...
No one on the slide like last year in the over 30 bracket so really with some more accurate kicking and overall improvement we hope for some better results.
I firmly believe there will be quite a few games decided by mall margins.
We could finish 6th to 13th its that tight.

As ex-president Peter Summers said:

St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!
