Roast St Kilda in no mans land

[docko911]

A lot of teams are in no man’s land because the talent pool is spread too thin and half of it is being ruined by being sent in mass to a few clubs. AFL really needs a genuine reserves/2nd division competition to help develop more quality players.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Too many mediocre and spuds in their team and many of them mid aged:

Mediocre:

• Steele
• Wood
• Higgins
• Dow
• Bonner
• Webster
• Hill

Spuds

• Ross
• Stocker

Even Windhager that the fans seem to love is just an average player

Harsh on Steele

Harsh on Steele

Slow and can't kick

 

[hawkman]

At least they are no longer in no man's land

 

[MickG88]

Most irrelevant club in the league, at least North have something of a history.

Although we have 283 pages discussing Saints, really irrelevant.

 

[Red Bull]

Like all clubs, they’ve got to spend their salary cap each year.
But who do they spend it on?
Nearly impossible to believe they’ll be able to attract any genuine AFL quality players wanting to play in this system.
They’ll have a top 10 draft pick that’ll get pushed back to try and find a single talented 18yo kid.
Very tough sell to an already disillusioned supporter base …

it's like watching a car crash video - entertaining and you can't look away.

Very kind to Dow.

St Kilda kicked 60 points?

Wow, revolutionary.

Does that mean the thread get archived?

 

[hawkman]

Nah our tanking thread is still going

 

[Randomizor]

Go Yroke, go broke

 

[hawkman]

Go Yroke, go broke

They have been broke a long time before that

 

[MickG88]

Nah our tanking thread is still going

Had to have a go, can we change the name to St Kilda are tanking at least?

 

[WillHayward]

Same way people love to come and gawk at a car accident

 

[WillHayward]

St Kilda kicked 60 points?

Wow, revolutionary.

Pretty normal to be around 62.

7/10 games this season they have scored under 70.

Draft seems to be the only way any talent is coming in the door.

Millions in salary cap and no decent free agent wants any of it.

Offered Weitering $15 million and he told them he’d rather be broke than play for St Kilda.

 

[janty]

Best score in 3 games today. Perhaps we are being too harsh?

 

[Dangerousfield]

Saints rapidly starting to smell like North. Both clubs have zero attractiveness. No player of note will up stumps and move to either club.

Henry like Taranto and Hopper suddenly realises he's made a wrong move

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Harsh on Steele

what kaiser knows about anything could fit on a postage stamp.

Unless its #VICBIAS or Bayern eliminated melting.
Expert on both topics.

 

[Plugger35]

All the old vultures are out in force again, make the most of it as we will be bouncing back into finals contention again next year.

 

[Rich01]

Called their dead cat bounce with RTB last year.
When you have sacked everyone around you who challenges you and employ a gang of yes men, there’s only one person responsible for their success or failure.

 

[WillHayward]

Trust you to keep this thread warm and fuzzy I think Saints and the club have a pretty good hold where the issues lie, sadly 10 rounds of defensive or attacking footy isn’t going to fix it.

You can only have so many recruitment mares over a 10-15 year period before it starts to show, with our midfield being the worst hit.

This is worth a read if you want to objectively dissect some of the issues at present (you seem quite invested, lol!) - https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/te...s/news-story/57576f572f04edca5038a53f9389f950

Under what game plan and new recruits can we associate this jump in form to?

What I find poor is a Sydney supporter that’s list is continually propped up with AFL assistance potting a clubs that isn’t.
