Roast St Kilda in no mans land

[jumperfan]

So the Saints have upgraded from a HG Kingswood to a HG Premier !!
SOS really smashing it out of the park there

It’s so funny how incredibly insecure Geelong fans still are despite being one of the most successful clubs of the century.

Agreed

He is a Carlton fan, but he can preach from the high moral ground because they all go 'woof' when an accountable half back flanker manages to kick it over 40 metres.

 

[Saints43]

Saints yesterday, in a nothing game for them against Carlton reserves, moved their draft pick from 5 to 7 and gave themselves a harder draw next season.
Even when the Saints win … they lose.
Anyway,
Blues are playing finals and Saints are locked in no man’s land which really must sting and sting hard for you

Just catching up with the thread.
How'd you go?

A lot of people are sleeping on the saints. Probably a lot of you won’t agree with me. That’s fair due to choices our club made and performances the team put in over the past decade.

Things have well and truely changed. As a supporter watching games and interview. We have an identity and strong culture.

There is so much knowledge and experience in our coaching group. One of the best coaches of the modern era, with assistances with impressive resumes supporting him.

The big part in that is Ross, Harvey, Hayes and Goddard. All bleeding for the red, black and white. Having all nearly reached the pinnacle and only measurement of success. They have come back to help us get that second premiership.

You can’t underestimate the emotional connection for them in this journey and the influence that will have on players development of what it means to be a st kilda person.

Some thing we lost a long time ago.

This is why our culture and identity is so strong. Each day our playing group is learning from Ross, Enright, Harvey, Hayes and Goddard.

Every game, win or loss. The boys have the same effort. I haven’t watched an interview yet from either a coach or player where they didn’t sound confident after a win or loss.

Right now it feels like are in alignment between the players and coaches, football department and admin.

That is a pretty solid place to build from.

I am trusting the process and so far the club hasn’t given me a reason to doubt them.

Phillipou will be our captain and win a Brownlow

Nas will be an All Australian backman.

I think St Kilda and Hawthorn are going to have some huge games in the future. What Hawthorn did this year wasn’t a fluke.

Mitchell has learnt from Clarkson and Postecoglou. Along with being a talented player with high football iq. He knows what he is doing.

He spoke about being ahead of the pack in the future of how the game is played. As the add players to the squad which fit their game style they are going to get stronger and better.

RTB spent three years watching the whole league as an analyst. He may have an idea as well.

You lost me at Max King will win something

 

[Freomaniac]

As proven by Sydney , McCartin would still be playing top level footy if not for his concussions.
OK i don't have an excuse for Billings, but he was highly rated at the time, and Bont was a bit of a stretch.

In general , yes the drafting was poor. Particularly we got absolutely nothing from later picks.

I know it's a small thing.... I am curious if the saints got any serviceable players in the rookie draft from 2013 to 2018?

Hell, Any decent or serviceable player after pick 50 would be useful

Nice! I am speaking my mind. Not trying to convince you

Sinclair 2014, Marshall 2016 and Wilkie 2018 all in the rookie draft during that period

Rowan Marshall is almost servicable.
Jack Sinclair has his good days.

[Cleansweep17]

They have f all picks this year to.

Legit better start tanking before Tassie comes.

We’re going to have 3 picks in the first 25 or so and possibly two in the top 10.

I invite you to consider refraining from posting when drinking.

Oh sorry I thought your only first round pick was 7.

I really didn’t think anybody would to trade for a St Kilda player.

I really didn’t think

Nope , you didn't.

 

[Cleansweep17]

Nope , you didn't.

Please for the love of gawd win something, anything.

I actually really want St Kilda to do well. You need to draft good players and cut your losses with this group. They straight up failed.

 

[Kobe Gryant]

A lot of people are sleeping on the saints

If I had a dollar for every year I heard this I'd have about $22.

It's not much, but it's a lot when you consider nothing ever comes from it.

Wake us all up when something actually happens.

 

[WillHayward]

Even the Dogs would have taken Billings at 3. Everyone rated him above Bont at the time.

Unfortunately, recruiters don't have a decade of hindsight available to inform their decisions like you do. And even then, no guarantee that in our woeful environment that Bont would have developed into the superstar he is today.

Oh dude

I think you would have a few more dollars seeing how the past decade has gone and the optimism shown by supporters.

Make sure to buy yourself a good pillow with that money!

 

[Atomboy]

Out : Ross
In : McCrae

That’s why Ross and his mates are on the big bucks

I mean if we want to talk about coaches on big bucks making all the right moves, we could talk about scoreless quarters in finals ?.

You need to stay on topic friend.
Saints need to exit no man’s land one of these days.
Maybe McCrae can help …

The expert-with-hindsight phenomenon is fascinating.

No doubt many (possibly most) clubs would have made the same call (drafting Billings). And no one was jumping up and down at the time about what an outrageous selection he was at 3.

Sometimes the right call at the time simply doesn’t work out - half of everything is luck.

The notion that someone can be the correct pick at the time but not correct long term will always be a hard one for Bigfooty to grasp.

Every club has made a call like that in their history and will make more of them in their future. That's just how the draft works.

 

[t_94]

So they had a better recruiting team and done their research. Got it.

You really are one of the worst examples of those ****wits with an unjustified superiority complex because you happened to pick a successful club to barrack for.

 

[t_94]

Oh dude

Why are you still in this thread when your trust fund baby team just made another grand final?
