Any video up…
I feel like usually there’s tons of write ups and videos everyone. Haven’t seen it this time round.

Can someone help this old fella's memory out. Did Jason Blake ruck under Ross Lyon or GT ? I recall GT did not rate ruckman. Blake may have been retired before Ross was on board. Jason was far from a big strong ruckman but had a great leap and was ultra-competitive with great endurance. He rucked a...

Bet that was $10k + well spent I think you seriously underestimate how much this would have cost. Try adding 1 or 2 zeroes on the end of that number. You know I thought that but didn’t want to appear too foolish by going way over. Now I’ve been too foolish for going way under. Seems to me to be a c...

I might be in the minority but what was the point of any of that. If you’re going to change it… damn well change it to something new/exciting/out there. This is like the exact same logo. Don’t get me wrong… I’m all for not having changed it to begin with as it didn’t need it… but it sure as heck did...

Some years I get really into the draft… other years not so much. Unfortunately this is a not so much year.

I think I like Similie and Lalor but the senses is Lalor will be long gone

I like Adelaide’s logo and agree with most that the Sun’s emblem is good but a peculiar colour choice

I don't think we'd pick him after delisting Campbell.
Club maybe hoping our other young rucks develop

That’s a good point

Does that mean we have secure access to one?

Sounds promising

Good idea ‘skeptic’. There was Noddy from South Australia ( I think he was noddy04) . He used to regularly come over from South Australia and sit with the cheer squad, plus he looked after S/s members when they went to SA. Noddy was a regular contributor to this site. He kept telling us how good Ca...

Like Chris Connolly would have done better than Thomo. At least the players loved him. I recall reading somewhere words to the effect that GT tried to poach Lyon in the lead up to 04/05… somewhere in that time. Pbly the best version of how this could have played out was GT as caretaker for a year o...

Hi everyone, You may recall sometime back that the idea of a Saintsational Honour Roll / Memorial Thread surfaced following the passing the late/great ASIU/Gazrat. I hope that this isn’t the first you’re hearing of this… apologies if so, here’s the thread https://www.saintsational.net/viewtopic.php?...

Am also feeling hopeful RE Byrnes. He’s not my favourite as he fades in and out of games too much and didn’t really improve in 2024 until the end of the year. Someone here posted that his logical trajectory was to take more time and really come on in leaps and bounds with another preseason. Here’s h...

Max King to win the Coleman Windy to cement his place in the 22 Liam Henry and Darcy Wilson top 10 in the best and fairest Liam Stocker to stick his knee (legally) into Dangerfield, breaking several of Patrick's ribs RE Stocker… you forgot to add in the Grandfinal, with the dastardly move widely ac...

I’m going to mentally book mark it and bragging rights/ego and vanity is on the line, which is going to seriously step it up in 2025 and elevate his game? Which player whether it be someone firmly inside the top 22 going from ok to great or fringe to sign him up for 5 years. Contenders - Byrnes Cami...

I heard similar stories when Pagan was at Carlton. Being a hard arse over ridiculous stuff. All it did was turn the entire playing group against him and surprise, surprise, Carlton were shite under him. It's weird. Guys like Watters, Neeld, Bolton, as first time senior coaches came in swinging like...

Sounds like Watty Scotters. Highly rated assistant who tried to be the high end tough guy as coach and it back fired. Similar story with David Noble. And Mark Neeld The absolute worst. I knew Melbourne were sunk in that first preseason when someone asked Neeld whose surprised/impressed you the most...

Arie has lost 7kgs in the last couple of months and is working on his speed. Will take Bonners spot That will be a good development position for him, hopefully at some point he has the game to fill a key defender role. His defensive game cant be any worse than Bonners thats for sure. I havent seen ...

Just my opinion, but I doubt a guy who I assume has never played in a final is going to change clubs to another bottom dweller or mid range floater. I think we would need to play finals in 2025 and show we are on the up. That makes sense DB, as there'll be a lot of the top teams lining up for his s...

Can we please leave the 'politics' for the General Forum? This Forum is supposed to be about St Kilda and not a place to air our political thoughts. I’ve let this go because it’s the off-season and things are a bit slow… But the complaints and reports are building now so if there’s politic talk I’l...

First game of the year, comes in cold, 44 touches, Norm Smith Medal, Saints trounce Hawthorn… Battle has 5 kicked on him.

Let me dream

Saving him for the Grandfinal

No surprise? Never really understood why Ollie was recruited; almost no one recovers from a broken leg, brave try though Ben, tragic; Hayes was always too good to be true, great ability but body found AFL rigors too much, wish we got him young. I thought Hotton looked great in his draft vids. He wa...

If someone would like to PM Magnifisaint about this that’s up to them but please nobody get into the rumours/stories of the time on the main board
