2021

[Kilda]

Some of the most unheralded recruits to the club have been off-field. Not just bringing in coaching talent in the form of Ratts & Roughy but our list recruitment and administrative sides. I can’t recall the last time the club was so stable, focused and driven for excellence

And, oh what a surprise, see the difference on the field.

Looking forward to 2021 but expectation has always been a downer for me , get my hopes up & reality brings me back to earth pretty quick but yeah I'm up beat

been around too long to harbour false expectations ..hell I used to think we would do well each season in the 80's .. the naivety was replaced with glass half empty mindset. My Glass is now realistically half full.
Nup.. this is something else.. the club is being run in an aggressive and clever manner .. Skeptic touched on bad management and loading up with list cloggers...the club is now ruthless with it's culling.
We now have some young superstars who can only improve and seasoned top grade players who want to wear our guernsey.

so yep...happy days.

Yeah mate starting to become a destination club which is great , that's why the Caldwell situation amazes me . I know his family are Saint supporters & we were offering similar deals but he chose those drug f-----g cheating a---holes over us . I just don't get it . Oh well if we can snag Higgins it will make up for it . Go Sainters

Don't stress about Caldwell, good judges believe Bytel's a better prospect...anyway, would have likely lost our first round pick altogether had Caldwell chosen us.

Very true Firey. 2021 is exciting for a number of reasons. No less a simple build on 2020. I want to see Crouch & Higgins fit in and add to our mix.
I want to marvel at the ruck work of Ryder and how he works in tandem with Marshall.
I want to watch Bytel, Clavarino, King develop and announce themselves.
I look forward to Clark, Coffield & Paton take further steps to All Australians.
I look forward to watching our young defence lock down, support each other and attack whether that is through the middle or through the wings using Hill, Jones, Battle and Billings.
I have enormous faith in Ratten & Roughead building belief, standards and expectation within the club.
My fingers are crossed for the 20's to be the most successful era in St Kilda's history.

Clavarino and Lonie don't have contracts for next year, so their places on the list arw shaky at best. Clavarino more so if Chips signs on.

I really hope we trust our development of Clav. Find it amazing Chips is even being discussed. There's a reason he "retired". Literally cooked before retirement.

Especially entering a season with a reduced list.

Agree with you. Sometimes you need to take a chance on the kids. The tosser never did, to his ultimate detriment.
