Menzel, Paddy and two Jacks.
https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/ ... 48021d8ca7
DAN MENZEL
Now virtually certain to stay at Geelong on a new deal after St Kilda withdrew its pursuit of the Cats forward. The Saints need more quality in their front half, but have thrown out the Menzel plans.
PATTY MCCARTIN AND JACK BILLINGS
St Kilda has made clear through Alan Richardson it won’t be trading McCartin, contracted until the end of 2020, while Billings made clear on Monday he wasn’t interested in moving clubs despite a disappointing year.
JACK STEVEN
Steven asked the hard questions of coach Alan Richardson at his exit meeting — ie. Are we in a rebuild phase again?
He was told in no uncertain terms there was no rebuild, and so won’t leave.
After Geelong’s interest was knocked on the head another club also inquired but was also told he wasn’t going anywhere.
His manager Peter Lenton told the Herald Sun Steven would stay at St Kilda next year and honour his contract.
Great news all round.

Re: Menzel, Paddy and two Jacks.
Interesting.
What does the fact that JS thinks that we might be rebuilding really say about the state of our list?

Re: Menzel, Paddy and two Jacks.
Well it probably indicates that the club hasn’t thrown the baby out with the bath water just yet. Things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem. Biggest loss for the season was only 54 points. There is a bit to work with. The way the team move the ball forward and finish off is the obvious problem. Never cashing in on long periods of dominance during matches and then getting done at the other end. Hopefully the penny drops for some of the younger guys and the off field shake up changes some our structures dramatically.
The Melbourne match at the MCG is a game they should be looking at. St Kilda played with dash and flair that day. It was great to watch. Bottle that type of footy.

Things at the club are turning in the right direction.

I still want to look forward to the 2019 season.

Re: Menzel, Paddy and two Jacks.
I think it tells us that he feels the list is fine.
He wanted assurance that they were NOT rebuilding again.

Re: Menzel, Paddy and two Jacks.
if we aren't rebuilding it means the club needs to nail a few very good trades.

Not suggesting I was right but I certainly didn't interpret it that way either, Foxy Trot.
