Puff piece, essentially Hill backing us to make finals “We took a lot of confidence in how we finished off the year,” Hill said. “You have to remember we have only been together for two years under (coach) Ross (Lyon).” and talking up the young fellas “As an older player, I love seeing the...

In case anyone hasn't seen

Clearly the use of the word align is from the journo - based on that rambling twaddle I'm not sure Kelly could even spell the word.

I'll start with the usual four. I'm happy with Windy, or if we want to switch jumping on Garcia, Dodson, Boxshall or Big Moose. To help out with that conversation, this is the list of "emerging" players: Interesting to note that we now only have emerging and core sponsorships - there used...

Wandering onto an opposition forum and claiming you won't take a bunch of players, including Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera whose name you obviously missed, over one of your own?

It's not that bad a read, he's doing the PR spin that his new club wants. The family club crap sounds a lot better than them offering a deal he felt like he should take. We came late and hard but we left ourselves open to poaching with the previous offer leaving him as an unrestricted free...

We've all got our own delusions. Sounds like theirs is the idea that players want to return to Adelaide.

Bytel was broken in general but had stress fractures first, then a bulging disc.

Another name that sprang to my mind, not quoted in the article mentioned (for obvious reasons, surprised he said Hotton)

Back stress fractures are an injury type that really worries me. Misson cited Olli Hotton and Angus McLennan as examples of players who arrived with them which are names that do not inspire a huge amount of confidence.

He's a lazy hack and we're an easy target. See also my Idiocracy post from a few days back.

And a good enough footy brain to become a senior coach

Basically gave up towards the end, was probably told by his editor that a list of 10 reads better than a list of 5

All their efforts to trade down to get Tauru and they end up with Matt Whitlock to show for it. How long until he does a McKay?

We also traded our future 4th for the Patrick Said pick, added it to your list. Sign of confidence we sent ours and not Essendon's

That decision is such a joke - if academies are about "keep[ing] the best talent in Queensland", then they need to have the resources to develop the talent there. If a kid decides to go to another state, then it's open season.

Depends how much your house is in order (weight and spread of existing long-term contracts, how much needs to be paid to retain the players you want to keep, are Carlton chasing any big fish of their own) and the kind of contract that gets offered to De Koning. Hawthorn could have theoretically...

True to form the media have focused on all the wrong elements of Bassat's speech. No-one disagreed with him. No-one has said he's wrong because it's that bleeding obvious. But because he spoke out against the (dodgy af) status quo, there was an article the other day trying to call him and us...

They should've dished out a lot more vitriol earlier in their own direction for not placing an Ashcroft bid - shame on North, Adelaide and Carlton for helping the reigning premiers

Or it might be if they hadn't flung away their first rounder like a monkey at the zoo.

More sense than a lot of the pundits who failed to recognise there wasn't a top tier mid available at our picks and we simply drafted best available rather than reaching.

He's done a lot of work with Port but proximity would be the greatest factor there. For what it's worth First things first he has to be draftable because both us and Port made tough calls this year - Port didn't even nominate their two father-sons (the Burgoyne cousins, Rome and Ky) while we...

St Kilda last used pick 53 in 1998. Some coincidence. The 1998 selection The 2024 selection

So just to clarify - we haven't taken a Sandy rookie? Proposal didn't even make it to one draft? (Not saying we should, but we were all looking at Cole as the loophole and that hasn't happened)

Not just a different ruckman, one from the same club. Both played for Sturt U18

Which will just make Adelaide fans heads spin

Phew, I thought we'd traded our second and fourth for 45
