No more talls.

We need mids mids mids mids.

Wrong, wrong and wrong.

Mids coming through include Bytel, Byrnes, Owens, Windhager. That's enough for now. This offseason we need another 198+cm key back. Harris Andrews or Ben McKay would be perfect for us. The $64Mill question is though, will they be available?

We are dictated by who is on the market, hence I think you will find this year it will be mids given the amount of free agents & OOC midfielders eg Amon & Taranto. Perhaps like last year we can look at another key position defender later in the draft? I doubt very much Andrews leaves Brisbane & McKay if he was to leave it would be to play with his twin brother.

Plus at some stage we are going to have to look at bringing in another AFL ready ruckman?

Taranto
Amon
McKay
Big forward
Ruckman

Make it happen.

To be successful in this league you need multiple A-grade mids, and we only have one at the moment, and IMO Bytel and Byrnes aren't looking like they'll reach that level, Owens and Windhager have shown flashes but who knows.

We need to bring in a player/s who's already proved how good they are.

A gun midfield makes the talls at either end look much better. To improve our backline we need to get a better midfield.

I'm not being cheeky.... actually really keen to know who is this A GRADE mid field player we have? Are you referring to Steele? Then yes, he's brilliant.

Crouch is also pretty damn good.

[SunnyErnie]

All of us supporters knew that we had to wait until the end of the year to make an informed decision on our next coach. Except of course the brains trust at St Kilda. I will say it again.........

Andrew Basset and the whole board need to be removed immediately. They have destroyed our club due to their lack of professionalism. They are rank amateurs.

Please GT, on Monday I want you to come in and blow them all up!!!

c*** shut the f*** up for a change. Keyboard tough guy with all your bs opinions, f*** off.

Go and support some other team

Everyone is sick of your stupid posts, get lost for a while will you.

You can swear as much as you like Saintly66, but the fact of the matter is Ratts took over when we were in the bottom half of the ladder and 3 years later we are still in the bottom half of the ladder. Lo and behold, what does St Kilda do, they give Ratts a 2 year extension. Tell me how that does not make us a laughingstock?

As I said, the board need to be held accountable for this debacle and be immediately removed from their position. All of them!!!

Go and support some other team

I have supported St Kilda since 1971 and have been a member for over 35 years

Then you should know better. You are proof that you don’t have to have a long neck to be a goose.

Ernie is right ...we are cooked ..

Ernie is right ...we are cooked ..

We are worse than cooked. We have repeated the same mistake we made with Richo.

The board needs to be held accountable for this and resign.

Satan does a s*** job but gets promoted from COO to CEO.

Ratts does a s*** job but gets a 2 year extension.

Is it jobs for the boys or is it just St Kilda doing a St Kilda?

I actually think it's both.

The only chance we have of ever winning a premiership in our lifetime is to start a rebuild from scratch. Any player over 27 that has value trade them out. Any player over 27 that does not have value delist.

Use all picks at the draft. No trading for players and no FA's. We need to be aiming at challenging for a flag when King is 27. In other words, build a flag winning team around King.

[bangaulegend]

As much as Enrie should go back to Essendon & actually support his own team & most of his posts are just crap for once (& I hate to admit it) he is actually close to being almost ,nearly ,somehow right

[Sainter_Dad]

Laughing Stock - Not at all - you have to be relevant for anyone to worry about laughing

[Wayne42]

I think it's the list quality that's the biggest issue, not the coaching group.

Unfortunately the brains trust at St Kilda will not admit that we need a full rebuild any time soon. As a result we will continue to be a mid table team for a few years and by the time we crash to the bottom and rebuild and start challenging, King will be retired.

[SunnyErnie]

Just like that post on Bigfooty, "Saints are in no man's land".

And to make matters worse, we have given Ratts a 2 year extension.

It truly is laughable.....

Or a Coleman medalist at another club for 2 first round draft picks that we use on ‘nice’ boys

Yes we are poorly ran and coached at the moment. But we are perennial underdogs (given funding, prestidge ect..). As fans we should take pride in knowing we support a team no matter what and that one day when we eventually win a flag will be the greatest day of our lives.

[skeptic]

c*** shut the f*** up for a change. Keyboard tough guy with all your bs opinions, f*** off.

Now now Saintly66, we’ll never get anywhere if you keep holding back like this

Just for once, tell us how you really feel

There is a negative correlation between high draft picks and delayed success. There is not one example in the history of the AFL of a side clearing house for drafts picks and the rebuild working. The great sides (hawthorn, Richmond, Geelong ect..) had a small amount of high draft picks (1-5) then built through recruiting other club players or got lucky with father sons. If we clear house where done as a football club and potentially get put in the relocation conversation with north.

Don’t fool yourself - we are already in the conversation - the AFL will only have to ask their b*T he’s and we will happily go there

So you prefer to keep finishing in no man's land? Well good for you!!!

I would rather clear the decks and finish in the bottom 4 for the next 4 years and drink deep at the draft while you can keep finishing between 6th and 10th for the next 4 years and get crappy picks
