Jones and Gwilt will stay, Lyons likes them.
I think Jones needs to be introduced to his right foot. Like Gram does with his left foot (shocker).
Wouldnt mind Jones be introduced to his left boot. Just avery ordinary footballer.
Does he not play like a park footballer?
When he gets the ball, he looks like he has forever to get rid of it. I think if he didn't rush his kicks, he wouldn't be too bad.
He came 2nd or 3rd in the WAFL B&F (whatever medal that is - morrish?), so he must have been doing something right last year. I don't know what.

you won't be dissapointed i promise and you can take that as gospel too!

I keep hearing that but Burkie is the only name I have heard. Would be great to have an ex player on the board but we wont some business knos on there too. Maybe even some one who can get the training facilities done and increase revenue, thats what I look for from a board.
We already have 3 retirements in Gehrig, Thompson and M. Clarke, with the possibility of Voss joining them.
There are some posts on here that are calling for anything up to 5 or 6 others to be sacked/de-listed.
Given that a lot of very good judges have stated that this year will be no better than an average draft, What gems are we going to pick up with our 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th Round draft picks?
Purely on statistics alone, we should be looking at making 4-5 changes to our list
How about a decent dose of reality folks? And leave it up to those who actually know !!
Id give the president an ultimatum - out of the social pages and get fair dinkum about the Club, or he;s out as well. He would have to be one of the most insipid President's going around AFL circles at the moment wouldnt he?
Off-load Kenny S as well. He was in charge of all tribunal matter this season and didnt do us any good at all. Get some strong authoritive figurehards down at the club.
It is so clear that the reason he has kept his spot is because R Lyon made the decision to keep him at the end of last year.....
....But when your wrong Ross, your wrong.....dont keep giving him a senior spot because of stubborness.
stupidity.....
Please explain how he actually contributes to the team?
setting up and scoring goals usually counts for a bit
he setup/caused/kicked 5 goals against the tigers
dud your fighting a losing battle...Milney is the scapegoat for some f-wits and even though he is erratic at times, they will never admit he is a positive contributor.
I doubt it'll happen - he's one of the four who played every game. His kicking technique bothers the hell out of me. How he used to be so accurate in front of goals I don't know. The way he plays now, he's never going to get anywhere close to 60 goals again. He's also not good with the ball and he can't tackle to save himself.

The other rookies: give them another year.
Jones is too old to stay on the rookie-list. Promote or delist.
And you can only keep three rookies. Jones can't be on the rookie-list and Geary looks very likely to be elevated, so another player has to be promoted or delisted.

A while ago Lyon stated that he rates Jones in our best 22. I don't know how he decides on whether a player is in the best 22 before they actually have an effective kick at AFL level, but I hope Lyon has been watching St Kilda PLAY as well as train. If so, there is no way that Jones will be retained.
if cj is in our best 22, i'm a fringe player thats been stiff to not debut with the club (and i drink every thursay friday and saturday night) and exercise has not been my forte since u/16's finished and i just turned 19
We're probably only going to draft three players wit picks 9, 27 and 43. If there's somebody else we like, or we trade an earlier pick for a player, we could draft somebody at 59. We might elevate Attard and put him on the LTI (just so we don't have to next year). We might elevate Jones and Geary. At absolute most, that's seven delistings, and I expect that number to be closer to five.
M. Clarke
Ferguson
Gehrig
Raymond
Sweeney
Thompson
Voss
Raymond and Sweeney are both young enough to be put on the rookie list if we think they're worth keeping.
Out this season will be G, M clarke, Voss and Thommo retired. Delistings will be Raymond, Sweeney, Brooks and Ferg is in trouble. 7-8 out 2 promoted to main list. Not sure who they will be. One preseason pick and 4-5 draft picks.
