Considering Bonner played 19 games last year, I think we could play Shoey in that role and still play another taller intercept defender - there's lots of decent players to fit into the back 6 this year! If we have a decent bill of health, there's no excuse for Sandy this season, there will be a...

So Crouch is the Sandy Rookie, right?

It would have been torches-and-pitchforks-time if we'd traded back into the first round, only to pick a SMALL FORWARD :mad:

This clubs ability to let us down is ****ing second to none.

2009 Prelim on Fox Footy before the draft starts.....might be the highlight of the night....

Is it too late for the G-Train to adopt FoS and we take him as a father-son??

I don't understand this "we're not gonna bid on the best player in the draft" stuff....every team that passes on Ashcroft is handing the reigning premiers an advantage for no good reason. Make them pay up.

It's up on the socials now. I like it - considering what it could have been....

Let be honest.....we're a football business. A franchise. Clubs are long gone in the AFL....

Over the weekend I had a dream about the logo. It was the same crest shape, St Kilda written in the top section instead of St.KFC, with 6 red white and black vertical stripes in the bottom section, ala the 1996 centenary jumper, instead of the cross. No ribbon. Along the lines of Stoke City...

I'm super weary of putting much value on any future picks. Next year's draft is so compromised that the whole system is going to be tested - clubs with academy kids will be offloading top picks for points, and the available talent will be diluted anyway, so there's massive risk there. Trading...

Geez, how bad are things if Robbo's going in to bat for you...... https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/st-kilda/mark-robinson-theres-a-smell-in-the-air-about-the-saints-disgraceful-2025-fixture/news-story/12c9ca56f7fc3d16ef8b14b1beb938ce

Seriously, f*** the AFL.....sanctimonious bastards. "Sorry Ken, you can't yell at an opposition player, that will be $20k...." but also "You know who will get eyeballs on TV.....Port and the Hawks, lets put them in Prime Time in Gather Round"

Kangas would be scrambling a bit with Stephenson pulling the plug, prob means anything that was discussed or agreed previously is out the window, NM will be wanting another good selection this year to fill that spot. I'd consider putting 7 & 8 together for 2 and a F2, then use that F2 and 32 to...

I doubt the club is pre-announcing a release date, organising an event, offering passes as a "prize" etc. if it's just thickening an outline and having a bolder font. This is gonna be a whole new look, and I'm trying to keep an open mind..... but there's a pretty high chance some marketing guru...

It's sad neither Oscar Adams or Van Es turned into players, we've drafted for that KPD depth to cover a loss from the defensive unit but they didn't work out.

It's all well and good for the Prez to have a crack at the AFL re: father sons and compo etc, but what happens when they hand down Band 2 in a few days?? We go "thank you, sir" and go sit back in our dunce corner, that's what. There is no right of reply here, we're picking a fight that...

Does it feel any better to look at it as Battle and a future first, rather than 2x1sts? I reckon it does - if that was a standalone deal, I think we'd take it.

I think there's a third option where Merrett has gone full Petracca and wants out. His people have looked around at which clubs could actually pay the contract, and have the collateral to get a deal done, and have come to us to make an offer. We would have been keen when he was an RFA at the...

I'm probably in the minority, but I reckon 43 for Macrae is too much, especially if we're taking on his full salary. 43 probably drops into the late 30's by the time f/s and academy bids etc come in, and we keep hearing how deep this draft runs. I'd rather take 43 to draft night and offer a...

The money is irrelevant - you know the AFL has probably tipped in whatever marketing/ ambassador/ representative/ promotional/ merchandising/ advertising subsidy it feels like. Good on Mac for cashing in on it.

I wonder if Michito could play the Battle role? Similar physical traits, certainly has the hunger for the contest, would just need to develop the defensive smarts. Might leave a forward spot open for Membrey if Owens is down back. There'd be some 3rd forwards around the league dreading that...

Their senior coach openly had Josh on speed dial mid-season - they don't give a shit about keeping anyone onside.

Soldo's missus is unhappy in Adelaide (who wouldn't be?), they want to come back to Melb.

Port would ask for Nas or Pou to be involved in a trade for Houston. No thank you.

Sadly this is probably incorrect. More likely the AFL sees this as justification of their attitude, another big profile player being involved in "blockbuster" games means more viewers, more clicks, more $$$

There's nothing naive about my comment, and it has nothing to do with him staying or going. Obviously business is business and Josh can make whatever decision he wants regarding his playing future. But asking for a bit of "me time", like we should be celebrating his last game as if it was a...

We don't get any say, he's unrestricted. Josh might sign for $150k a year and we get SFA compo. He clearly wants to go to his childhood club, we're just relying on the AFL to come to the party with this.

If I was Ross Lyon, I'd drop him for that request. Rather get another game into Ari / McLennan etc than a guy who's checked out. "Hey Josh, wanna run thru the Saints banner with your kid - then sign the deal and do it for your 150th, 200th & 250th."

....to go with his brother, a Number 2 pick who went to Prelim finalists for a can of coke.... Some clubs are kissed on the dick, while others are kicked.
