Re: No.1
Apologies guys, just a typo. More importantly I am looking forward to about July of next year. We should hopefully be firing by then and we will know who were good pick ups and who weren't.
King will have a few games in him by then, maybe bytel and who knows maybe we are in the hunt for finals at that stage

Re: No.1
We really are a beneficiary of the salary cap system this time. We've partly paid for it with sh#tty fixturing and terrible stadium deals over the years - that's how I justify it, but if we can't make something happen now..geez., I guess we'll still be good old St Kilda.
You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!
