He’s one concussion away from being finished, do not touch

Speaking to a former Saints great

Stephen Milne?

Such a great of St Kilda that he literally became everything St Kilda represents in the closing stages of the 2010 Grand Final.

 

[goreds]

Other than Sinclair, the others are just role players aren’t they?

Lots of mixed messages, I’d be surprised if they went scorched earth, I could see a few of their fringe players moved on and SOS trying to get a few extra picks in.

Who knows

List is rubbish!
They tried to lure a big name but none are interested as they know the list is rubbish. There is nothing wrong with a full rebuild now as it will get terribly compromised with the ‘Tassie’ affect in a couple of years…

We lived it and suffered for 10 years because of it. Thank his we are in a position that players want to come and we have a young list of stars…

 

[Aphrodite]

He put 3k on tab at the Espy for the 9 of us. That's a great in my eyes!

We'll get a better version in Ben Campo.

Sounds like a legend

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Outside of the Saints surely Melbourne and the Crows would have to be on the verge of an exodus after their years wouldn't they? The Saints is slim pickings even if they do indeed go down the rebuild route with SOS, but I reckon you could pick the eyeballs out of the Crom and Dees if players were wanting out. Some real quality amongst them imo.

Agree - my lowest point a Blues supporter was when Aker was leaving Brisbane and said he would go to any club except Carlton.

We have them lining up now.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Starting to wonder if "rebuild" is a career strategy for SOS. Almost guarantees a medium-long term position because it divorces the LM team from the on-field results.

If he's good at it, then why not?

Could bounce around every 5-6 years to help a club kickstarting a rebuild.

A freelance list rebuilder, if you will.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Not groundbreaking, and has been mentioned before.

But have it on fairly good authority that we've been in a brutal training load since the week of the GWS game - hence the blitzing 1st quarter then fade, with this week being the final week.

Seems a little bit risky to me, given there were no guarantees for top 4 three weeks ago (and still isn't), meaning they can't afford to drop many games, but anyway - clearly backing themselves which is good to see.

I think someone reliable said that we weren't after another poster had said the same.

 

[Accidental genius]

First I’m hearing that a club in serious contention would be doing brutal training during the season….particularly this close to end of season.

Melbourne definitely did it in 2021 around this time. Apparently magpies were the same last year

 

[myblueroan]

Guys, someone already knocked this rumour on the head last week.

If true, another brainless high performance team decision after the debacle of the early season training block and fallout

And if false, as many ITK have stated?

Both Soapy V and xDQ82x said there was no truth to the heavy training load rumour.

 

[blues4flag]

We're definitely not in the final week of a brutal training phase with a 5 day break and half the team battered.

Clubs have been doing it for well over a decade - think Geelong invented it in their dynasty. Is usually for teams that have notched up a top 4 position though.

Yeah no way they are doing it this week. I was told it was meant to be a 4 week block starting from the week before the GWS game, which doesn't seem outrageous.

Anyways just thought I'd pass it on, source was a consultant for the club.

I hope it's true as it'd help explain the drop off. But seems very unlikely.

Goes back to the Adelaide premiership teams of 97/98

I thought it was common for teams contending to do a heavy training block before finals.
