I can't see Allen going...as we need a third " forward" as just about our main area to improve in.

He will be givena chance to strut his stuff..so IMO he will be playing in 2010.
Not having really seen that much of Allen, can anyone tell me how he is at ground level? Would we be looking at putting him into Gwilt's role or place?

Yep, reckon Gwilt has his spot at the moment.


I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

Firstly Cahill will not be going. He will not even have played a full year due to injury so we arent going to get rid of him. LJ should stay as he was an underaged player and will have only played about 20 games for the club at the end off the year. But who knows he may have to go. Fisher is in the most trouble at the moment along with Begley. Miles would have to be one looked at as going as well but there is still 15 weeks left in the season. Obviously Max will probably go and there must be question marks over X. Allen has a year to run on his contract so unless his hip is no good he will stay. Armo probably has a year to go on his contract so he probably would stay as well.

Rookies. Khan is in trouble, already mentioned Miles, Howard is probably gone, McGarry hasnt even been allowed to train at the club so he must be in trouble and Gaertner is probably in trouble. The rest should be ok. All this must be stressed is with 15 weeks to go in the year so anything could happen.

Colm Begley - Behind many others. Hasn't done much wrong at Casey, but hasn't shown the kind of improvement required to hold an AFL spot.
Ah! so he has been playing for Casey, no wonder he hasn't been considered for senior selection.
He doesn't know which team he should be playing for.
He wouldn't happen to be Irish would he?

Why is everyone saying he is going to the Coast. It is a long way away. There another 12 games in the season FFS. Unless an actual offer was drawn up and offered to him, he would not and is not even considering playing for anyone except St Kilda. He is next in line when an onballer( should it eventuate) go down with injury. Ross is happy with his performances in Casey and I am happy with that. Hard team to crack but there is alot of speculation of things that might happen. Get some proof before rumour Mungering.

What did McGarry do wrong to be excluded.
Does he have swine flu.

Sorry posters the Saint Kilda players not currently playing in the senior team play for Sandringham and not Casey. Them playing for Casey last year and old habits dying hard seem to upset some princesses like ace. Is this OK with you dunce.
