“I think it is talked about a lot with the boys, having a good first year in the system and then struggling a bit in the second and third,” he said.

“I have chatted to people about that and I think the big one is just the mental side of the game, backing yourself in. I work closely with our psychologist Sean Richardson and just work on having a good mindset going into the year and having a strong focus on my role and how I am going to play that.

“There will be that expectation that I hold on myself and the outside people kind of perceive on me but as long as I work with the psych and work with the coaches to have clear focuses each week, even if I do have a poor game I can bounce back.”

DARCY WILSON ON …​

His contract status after given his draftee deal ends in 2026: “I will just go out and play footy next year. It is kind of in the back of my mind at the moment, I am sure my manager will have a chat to me maybe next year and see what happens.”

Having Saints legends and midfield champions Robert Harvey and Lenny Hayes as coaches:“First walking in to the club I definitely had stars in my eyes. They are the type of people that make you feel welcome and don’t really make you feel like they are better than you.”

Being the man to catch in 2km time trials:“I don’t really feel like it’s put a target on my back. At the end of the day you are there to play footy. It was obviously good to run OK but I just bring it back to training hard and working hard.”

Missing the top eight in 2024: “We are looking to play finals every year and win a premiership every year. I think every team is looking to do that. But for us, it is just continuing to build a really successful team and overall be the best Saints ever. That is kind of our motto at the moment.”

The HS article is a great read - we have a future super star on our hands with Darcy Wilson. A level headed driven young man its just a pleasure to read his comments and so exciting he believes we are building something special.

ChatGPT is bad at such things.

Machine learning allows it to predict the next keystroke that it needs to pop in. Amazingly useful for certain things. Yet, sport predictions are not one of them.

Even AI can see how bad the midfield is.

There would've been no shortage of writing potting us fed into it - it believes what it's told

I asked St Kilda supporters to send in their hot takes for the 2025 season

Looks like there was a story in the Adelaide Advertiser today that went spouting off about how Port should chase NAS. Couldn’t read it because locked out, but anyway, Port do seem to have a record for getting players back to the SA nest. Dearest Lord up in heaven - do not let it be. Keep a Saint in heaven, where a Saint belongs, captive to the romantic and charming environs of Linton st.

Nothing revolutionary:

NASIAH WANGANEEN-MILERA (ST KILDA) ​

The silky smooth half-back had plenty of fans at Alberton but the Glenelg product was selected by the Saints just one pick ahead of what the Power were able to trade up to – Port took Josh Sinn – in the 2021 draft. Since then the Power have remained interested in the nephew of club legend Gavin Wanganeen and with Dan Houston going to Collingwood in the off-season it is expected Port will make a big move for the out of contract Wanganeen-Milera who had a career best year in 2024 and is primed to take the next step towards stardom in 2025.
