We’re going to win the premiership in 2024!!!
Put a pin in it and remember when it happens that I called it here first.
I am super excited for next year.
We were pretty decent in 2023… we were close to the form team for the first 8 or so rounds even with an injury ravaged line up.
Collingwood just got by us
Port too
Brisbane (our bogey team in recent years) beat us but didn’t dominate
GWS we beat once and whilst they won the final… again they didn’t really put us away and we were out of sorts on the day.
It looks to me like we’ve drafted well and recruited pretty exciting prospects in Dow and Henry who both look set to go up a gear.
Reports coming out of Moorabbin is that we look lean and fit with a bunch of players like Clark looking on the beat shape we’ve seen them…
Then you have the Windy, Caminati, Owen and Pou group burning the track up…
We’ve got a committed group of coaches…
We’re injury free (for the most part) and all our departures from 2023 are players that either didn’t play or barely ever played.
People think of us as likely sliders… IMO we’re going to burn it up.
Steele and Marshall are going to lead the way
King will kick 50
Owens, Windy, NWM and Pou will all go up a gear
The defence will do its thing
Dow and Henry will be incredible recruits
Wilson to win the rising star
Gear up

Your analogy is pretty well on the money for mine and I'm it's super that you've made the call, but I'm holding back on a time frame, anything can happen and every other team is patching up their list as well.

A big call but anything’s possible.
I think finals for sure not a slide.
But a lot has to go right, especially injuries !

I hope we go deep into finals. Knock off Melbourne, get a win over Port and Brisbane as we are due for one and take it to Collingwood. I hope we win that “special cup” as RTB has put it.

Re: We’re going to win the premiership in 2024!!!
I feel like the club will not be the same if we win another flag. It's almost a core part of our culture.

Heck i only follow this club because of the whole romance around the one flag. I'd lose all interest and probably go follow freo. eww.

Re: We’re going to win the premiership in 2024!!!
Just assume a reliable, functioning forward line; a mid field that can't go 0-14 last quarter clearances again against the big boys; smallish CHB doesn't matter against Carlton and BNE, all the newbies gel immediately (impossible); a second ruck is about to emerge and Collingwood's nerve cracks. Then your talking. How about we make the top four first, or don't lose three in a row, maybe win a final.....

Re: We’re going to win the premiership in 2024!!!
I've concluded for some time that St Kilda will make top 4 in 2024 and if that turns out to be true there's good reason to argue the team can go all the way to the GF and win that elusive 2nd flag.
Even the media pundits who think St Kilda will slide out of the eight have admitted that St Kilda has improved it's list via trades and draft, which makes you wonder why they are so negative about our team.
Lyon mentioned in his press conference that he expects Henry, Dow, Wilson, Collard and Schoenmaker to play senior footy next year.
Riley Bonner has the experience, commitment and immense determination to play regularly which will put pressure on Webster and Stocker for the halfback spot.
The only proviso is injuries to key players like Max King and Rowan Marshall which would make that objective difficult to achieve.

I weirdly had the same thought, which I have never had before,put it down as desperation, but maybe it's intuition?

I think you had a typo, you meant 2025!
Pou will be flying, Max really settled, Van Ess may have emerged.
Wilson will have a body to match his running ability.
Keeler will at last be an AFL Regular.
Caminiti will improved.
Hooton and other s of our youngsters will all be ready to play if required.
Plus we will at last have lured a gun from another club
But yes in 2024, our team will be better. Though some of the other clubs look like they may be better too.
We are certainly going to be exciting to watch in 2024!

Re: We’re going to win the premiership in 2024!!!
I can’t see Max leaving St Kilda. He’ll be loyal in a similar way to his brother who has remained loyal to the club that picked him in the National draft in 2018… but
What about the heartbreaking and fateful tragedy if the bloke that went at draft pick number 5 in 2018, ends up lifting the cup at the end of 2024? Surely not! Port can’t can they?!
Saints fans aren’t going to see a repeat of what we saw with Bont in 2016 are we? That’s not just misfortune. That’s when I’ll know we’re damned.
