poor lyon,

I think people need to get it out of their minds that Walsh WANTS to go to Sydney.
Only the Herald Sun has said this (they have made it up).
Pelchen has not said he WANTS to leave, he said there has been interest in him from other clubs.
I am confident he will stay

Interesting that a player that doesn't want to go to Sydney would go there anyway for a medical......strange things happen in the AFL

"ST KILDA'S Irish project player Tommy Walsh wants to join Sydney but the Saints have told him and Sydney they are not willing to negotiate a trade for the Gaelic convert."

Yep, money talks allright.

From day one, some months ago, Clarks management kept mentioning 600k a season, and by reports, thats exactly what Melbourne have paid him over 4 years.

l've seen a fair bit of Clark play over the last 3-4 seasons, and he's a good player with a fair bit of upside in him, but IMO is extremely inconsistent.

Will be interesting to see if he can play consistent footy at Demons.

[RW&B]

If Clark has ended up at Melb then they have 4 ruckman so we could pinch one. They have stef martin, max gawn, jamar and now clark

Martin is apparently one to watch and was expected to be their main man in the future. He would be feeling pretty put out right about now. Smart guy too apparently.

Stewie Lowe repeatedly tried to convince St Kilda to draft Martin around 2004 when he was playing for his local club. Would have been good if they listened. But I imagine he might be looking elsewhere soon, because he's not gonna get a gig with three giants already in the team in Jamar, Clark and Watts.

Melbourne have been desperate for a big forward for a while. Watts and Clark forward, Jamar and Martin to ruck.

[Con Gorozidis]

If neeld is even half decent melbourne are going to be a serious powerhouse.
Sure they lost scully but they got decent compo for him.
Flag in 2 years.

[Big John]

A few months ago, Ross had ideas of getting Mitch Clark to StKilda. Would have been interesting to see how they could have worked that into the salary cap.

[mad saint guy]

Melbourne have been desperate for a big forward for a while. Watts and Clark forward, Jamar and Martin to ruck.

The days of two monster forwards and two rucks are long gone. And Clark is a ruckman who can play forward, not the other way around. A full season in the ruck could mean AA selection, whereas a full season at FF might mean 50 goals. Expect him spend a fair bit of time in both roles

Hahahahaha... Yeh, ok.. Would wanna make the 8 first.

Worst performed Vic based club (again) in '11.. Midfield going forward of Trengove and noone else.. Gysberts? McKenzie? Don't mention Jones or Big Bad Brent Ballony..

They have no hope, and overpaying an inconstant ruckman to be their FF adds to that..

All the experts will pick them as their big improvers (again, as with '09 & '10 & '11), and they'll fall in a heap, guaranteed.

Yep, their midfield is terrible. No chance of a flag in 2 years. Richmond are far closer than they are.

Ross Lyon...you all saw him as the Saviour.

He hated St kilda as a player and he he achieved what he set out to do.

Destroy it!!

[mohannair]

he tried to do what collingwood did to us with ball and he got f***ed over big time.

melbourne played the whole thing beautifully. the presser on freo's site is gold!!!

Its payback time from Melb to Freo as Melb CEO Cam Schawb used to work for Freo. Looks like they shafted Freo.

Karma

[Dr Spaceman]

What does it mean for us? Probably nothing.

who says that?

[samoht]

He's proudly exporting Saints Footy (no F50 tackles) ... with our blessing.

[ace]

poor Lyon, can't get any thing right at the moment!!!! mitch clark has gone to the demons

sorry, i am being a little vindictive here,

Why would any ruckman want to go to Fremantle.
You know you will be always be playing in the WAFL unless Sandilands is injured.

[Spud]

I always felt that Lyon never fully embraced the club, he never even sang the club song in his 5 year tenure. Watters gives every indication that he will wholeheartedly embrace the club.
