Saints are gone for this year, but not necessarily 2012. It can turn around quickly. They don't need to get rid of a gun, that's silly, they need to clear out a lot though - Baker, Peake, Gamble, Polo, Clarke, and have a really good look at McQualter, Blake, Schneider and Kosi. These players need to be replaced with youth - they are hardly going to be worse. St Kilda's bottom 6-7 may as well be young and enthusiastic rather than aging and slow. Steven, Cripps, Winmar, Smith, Heyne and Lynch should be playing most weeks along with Stanley and Armitage. You can still have your old firm - Goddard, Roo, Hayes, Montagna, Milne, Dal Santo, Gram, Fisher, your mid-rangers - Gilbert, Dawson, Gwilt, McEvoy, and make up the rest of the team with decent youth. I reckon it's the only thing left for St Kilda to do if they want to have one more crack with this core group, and it can be done.
