Stay loyal

There hasn't been a more loyal servant of our club than this bloke.

 

[The Jack]

Is there anything this bloke cant't do?

What a great advertisement for our great club.

Lots of rumours floating around at the moment.

The butcher’s nephew carving a new path at the Saints

Just a fortnight ago, Anthony Caminiti was working two hospitality jobs between his uncle's steakhouse and his local café. Then, the Saints came calling.

Anyone got this? Apparently we are already talking about Matteas going home to SA...

Rubbish story based on a few SA players going back home (eg Rankine, Horne-Francis) and how maybe things maybe starting to turn after years of Vics (eg Lever, Dangerfield) being lured back home.

Nothing specifically about any of our boys going; they are simply naming players with links to SA who may become targets.

No need to lose any sleep.

Context is also so important, Gold Coast has haemorrhaged players since day dot and Horne-Francis's difficulties at North are public knowledge. For both it was a matter of which SA club won their signature. Lazy journalism that's hearing hoof beats and thinking unicorns instead of horses

Putting it out there, I feel like it’ll take extraordinary circumstances for him to want to leave.
Can’t recall a kid we’ve drafted in the last 5 years who seems to love being at the club more than Phillipou.

He seems more the type to go to a big club in challenge mode than run home to his folks.

Didn't he have his heart set on Essendon? Then he came out and said he wants to be a one club player.
I wouldn't be worried about him, he seemed set to leave SA from day 1.

He implied to Essendon, that Essendon were foolish not to draft him.
I think he'll be happy to prove his point with StKilda.

is ready to go in round 1. Picture: Michael Klein
“The reports are all good,” St Kilda forwards coach Robert Harvey said of Membrey’s surgery.
“He’s had a full summer. He’s barely missed a session. We’re really happy with where he’s at. It’s a minor setback but we’re totally expecting that he’ll be back for Round 1.”
Membrey, 28, finished as St Kilda’s second-highest goalkicker behind King last season with 34 majors from 22 games.
He has kicked 34 or more goals in six of the past seven seasons.
While Harvey said King was “right on track” with his recovery from shoulder surgery and was “looking forward to getting back”, his absence for the start of the season will force the Saints to play a smaller forward line.

of the Saints speaks with Ross Lyon. Picture: Darrian Traynor/Getty Images
Senior coach Ross Lyon said on Thursday that with the growing list of injured talls, St Kilda would have to look to the Richmond 2017 model of trying to bring the ball to ground in attack to “manufacture some goals” through their smalls.

The Saints signed 19-year-old key forward Anthony Caminiti through the AFL’s Supplemental Selection Period on Monday, but Harvey warned that he was unlikely to start the season in the senior side.
“Talls can take time,” Harvey said.
“He’s coming from a long way back. What I will say is he’s attacking it so well, he’s got great attributes, he’s athletic, he’s a good size at 198cm, he launches at the footy really well. So we’re excited but we won’t get too ahead of ourselves with Round 1.”
HOW DO THE CATS FILL A HAWKINS-SIZED HOLE?
