alot of rumblings, then it went much better. did he quit?

Apparently so, my Dad goes to the same gym as one of his mates - apparently the role comes with so much pressure, (at any footy club) and obviously he was put under the spotlight earlier in the year. I would imagine that kind of role is not easy. Look at the turnover of fitness staff at clubs in general, not to mention assistant coaches. Must be tough....

1:09 into the video, Jack Steven is once again referred to as Jack Stevens, get it right please what a disgraceful effort.

 

[BRUUUUCE]

Doesn't deny the jetta rumour in that interview

 

[Ekomaira]

Jason Holmes will be on AFL 360 tomorrow night

 

[AuntieBarrels]

Guys head over to the saints side right now, great insight into Holmes' debut. Great footage.

 

[hayes]

I don't really know where to put this but according to the saints snapchat they had a little gathering for the 40+ year members. Anyone that went got some juicy info for us?

yep...it's been posted on Facebook...

Richo, Finnis, Summers and Neil Roberts talked.

Here is Richo:

Dan McKenzie - concussion...still yet to get the all-clear
Hugh has gone past Del as a KPD
Sinclair & Lonie seem to be faves
Schnides will probably move on
Tom Lee has gone back and playing good footy
Spence - had differing problems with his body, might end up being a player that is unlucky
Clubs direction is going well, could even be fast-tracked
Markworth is going ok after setbacks...won't be gifted a game
Eli - hasn't been as good, but will bounce back
Plan for the draft is to keep stockpiling talent
Billings endurance is not yet elite, but will get there
Lewie Pierce was very promising on the weekend
players were really disappointed after the Nth game
Tim Membrey - will be strong for us as a Fwd when he hits 23-24
Holmes - great debut, won clearances by 10
Paddy - very physical. had to develop from U18s player to senior player while managing Diabetes

Finnis tomorrow

was posted on the SAINTS (StKilda Football Club) Strength Through Loyalty Facebook Page by the lovely Neroli Walker. She is a gem.

She also posted a great report on the Launceston Saints Supporters Group function...

I think we all knew Billings' endurance wasn't elite yet, but wow imagine the sort of player he is going to turn out to be. He averaged 20 touches, 5 marks and a goal per game this year.... omg the things that he will do when his endurance becomes elite... going to be very very scary for other teams.

Apparently Neroli's an ‎Authorised Marriage and Civil Celebrant. I imagine she'd be able to put some choice words together and get all warm and fuzzy.

You ol' softy.

Gary Lyon and Damo give our season a big tick: http://www.afl.com.au/video/2015-09-03/chase-some-midfielders-saints

 

[hayes]

That's big coming from Damo. Usually if you're not in the top 4 you have no hope according to him!

 

[The Jack Pack]

McCartin, Goddard, McKenzie, Lonie and Sinclair in that video... our 2014 draft was pretty decent.

pretty good assessment: http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-09-03/season-review-st-kilda

 

[Moorabbin Ghost]

With all due respect Dopey, that is a pretty disrespectful comment to both Peta and our footy club. Have you heard Peta speak about footy? She would know more about how the game is played than all of us put together. She's a terrific footy person.

Yeah I have heard all that, I guess we will know for sure when Hammil, Kingsley, Welsh or Sexton move on who gets promoted.

if she was token, she would not have had a contract extension.
