Email from the club confirming

Saints re-sign Sam Fisher and Justin Koschitzke

As expected St Kilda Football Club has today announced the re-signings of Sam Fisher and Justin Koschitzke each for a further three years.

Sam Fisher had one more year to run on his current contract, which has now been extended for an additional two years. Justin Koschitzke will continue his career at the Saints for three more seasons, which will see both players at the Saints to 2010.

St Kilda Football Club CEO, Archie Fraser said, "On behalf of the St Kilda Football Club, I'm delighted to announce the re-signings of both Sam Fisher and Justin Koschitzke. This is a fantastic result for the Club and indicates the players' commitment to the Club, our members and supporters."

Fisher has gone from strength to strength this year and is in contention for selection for the 2007 Coca Cola All Australian Team. A strong-marking defender who wins plenty of the ball, the young South Australian is a vital unit of the St Kilda backline.

Koschitzke has had a solid 2007 season, with the versatile player displaying stand out performances against West Coast and Richmond in the second half of this season.

great news re Kosi

he has given up an open cheque book offer from Carlscum

the last ditch effort Friday (apparently ratified by the Carlton board in a phone around) was that he could name his own price!

this was after that Carlton were informed that kosi had put forward what he wanted from the saints and if they agreed he would sign

obviously we agreed

this is huge that he has signed with the Saints

i just hope that it wasnt for way too much BUT in my opinion Kosi is the difference between a final side and a premiership or 2

True Blue Sainter · Sat 08 Sep 2007 3:28pm

Terrific news. Both are vital cogs of our machine at both ends of the ground. Kosi is our one method of beating the flood... how many times have we seen him outmark 2-3 opposition defenders?

I think this shows that the players are all extremely committed to the club (and as with Roo & Dal) I'm sure Kosi & Chips are both resisting the lures of more money elsewhere.... I'm genuinely excited!

i_luv_nick_riewoldt · Sat 08 Sep 2007 3:48pm

wow thats great news!!

seems like we have secured the bulk of our players til 2010 which is fantastic news!

SaintWodonga · Sat 08 Sep 2007 3:49pm

Best news for ages... Well done to Saints. Great to get both players for 3 more years.

stinger · Post: # 452058Post **stinger** » Sat 08 Sep 2007 6:19pm

got an sms message on my mobile from the club....both on board for another three years.......the club gets some things right....sometimes...good of them to let me know in a professional manner though......

saint66au · Post: # 452064Post **saint66au** » Sat 08 Sep 2007 6:29pm

Awesome news. GOd with a full-preseason under his belt...well..Im excited

I think the text message announcements are (understandably) limited to those with Vodaphone accounts

Otiman · Post: # 452068Post **Otiman** » Sat 08 Sep 2007 6:33pm

We get the text messages with 3 as well as Telstra.

i don't have a vodaphone account.......we have been through this before.....

I didn't really think that we would lose Kosi or Chips as the last couple of years we haven't really lost any good players. These days they seem to stay unlike years gone by, which is why I reckon we are ultimately a great club which is getting closer to winning the big one. 2008 here we come....

I again remind myself to ensure I put my Mobile number on my membership and also tick the ALLOW club sms contact if there is such a box.

But I did get the e-mail sent at 12.07 pm

Carlscum back to their old tricks again. Buy up anybody they can? How soon before they breach their salary cap again?

Maybe it's time for some payback with them.
WHy not make a play for every one of their talented youngsters when they come up for contract renewal? I know we'll never get them but it would be pleasing to know we 'cost' Carlscum extra money to retain them - just like they have been doing to us over the years!
