Typical St.Kilda? Now that made me laugh. Hard to remember another player that has gone on to be a star after we got rid of them.

Acres probably the best so far. We were so bad at drafting that we couldn't even put a best 22 together let alone off load quality.

Ball was out of bounds by 1m in the eagles game with a boundary ump 5m away, play on - goal.

Absolutely laughable the current standard of umpiring.

They should follow crickets example and be all "oh, we screwed this and next kick goaled, I'll just remove 6pts from this...", but as that'd rebuild some integrity, we continue to have things like this, where an ump might be blindsighted a score might happen and "oh well" is the response.

 

[Barrels]

Of course typical St Kilda .... we can't fix him ... he goes to another club and he plays a very good game in round one.

FIFY.

Tom Lynch comes to mind, Ben McEvoy another and of course Blacres. My mind goes back to the Lappin and Smith era too. Cripps has had a good career but he dogged us.

Others like Hall and Lockett were also great at other clubs.

I agree with you that it's not a typical St Kilda move though, most clubs lose a decent player or two over the years and we are not immune to that.

We move on about a dozen players a year so yeah the percentage of players that go and play well at other clubs is almost non existent.

Yes, what an extensive list that is of the last 60 years lmao. How many have we delisted or traded in that time? Who in that list went on to be actual stars instead of just okay players? Would love to see the numbers on that to properly compare. It's not typical St.Kilda at all - just hysteria to make a ridiculous point.

'Smashing into other posters' lmao...give me a break.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Plugger played in GF made me piss

 

[XhazzafootyX]

If Billings was still at st kilda he would’ve had 11 disposals and 0.1 with 0 tackles last night and we would’ve wanted him dropped. He needed a new start somewhere wlse

Other than the GF I struggle to watch any other games apart from ours these days. Just hanging around for a Saints flag. State of the game is an absolute laugh.

Mate you bagged me out and I just stated facts proving my point .... just admit you got it wrong this time .... BTW there are more players back prior to the ones I stated

Bagged you out? I said I laughed at your post and then provided reasons. Admit I got it wrong, lmao. I could name the same amount of players in the last 6 years that we've moved on compared to the last 60 years that you dug up. Sticking your fingers in your ears to ignore any other viewpoint is bizarre.

Am I not allowed to disagree with you?

Just admit I have a point and that you have overlooked plenty of good players St Kilda have let go that have gone on to have a better career/success elsewhere

Just admit it and we move on

 

[Miha]

A bit of Billings revisionism for a Sunday arvo

It's a discussion forum. I disagree with you and explained why. Are you alright?

I'm fine thanks for asking

Your explanation doesn't dismiss the list of players I posted ...... strange you can't acknowledge this

Yes and to your point I said that I could name the same amount of players in 6 years as opposed to 60. You then stuck your fingers in your ears and just wanted me to say oh yes you're right instead of disagreeing with you and explaining why. This is all so boring lol

 

[Joffaboy]

We got rid of Acres and Billings and they are doing well.
We pick up Boner and Wood and they are doing well.
Some players just go better with a fresh start.

In other news;

Port v Eagles
Port: Describes the play and how well it was to win the moments.
Eagles: Harley Reid watch (insert furious fapping noise here).

It's been a shocker this round.

If Brions go 0 - 2 and we beat Pies on Thursday

The following week will be Brions (0 -2) v Pies (0 -3)

Would be good to see but big ask for us this Thursday coming off a 5 day break with a decimated mid field and Pies coming off 2 drubbings with something to prove

Pies coming off successive six day breaks. It will be interesting to see how they are. Must win game for them.
