A weeks a long time in footy. I can’t see the saints losing another game.
You’d hate to be a Geelong supporter who told us how good Chris Scott is and how poor a coach RTB is.
Master coach Chris Scott has been brained by RTB tonight.

Great win, but wouldn't read too much into the result.
St Kilda has troubled Geelong in recent seasons.

Isn't this exactly what no man's land is though? Get pumped one week and then win the next this stuck in the middle or no man's land. Not bad enough to get pick 1-3 but not good enough to win a flag.
Agreed, that loss in the practise match against Port Adelaide was far more important, let’s keep talking about that.

Talk about it as much as you want, just suggesting I wouldn't be changing my predictions for either side based on the one result.
Oh, well that’s not in keeping with this thread then.
It exists to make grand pronouncements based on the weekly results.

Correct
Middle table no mans land
We are on track for 10k posts and a part 2 thread at this rate
Who says you need them?
Collingwood won the flag 2 years ago- how many pick 1-3's did they have?
Hawthorn are current premiership favourites- how many do they have?

Those are big clubs that can attract quality talent via trades and free agency to avoid bottoming out
0, but I don't think it's fair to compare the Saints to Hawthorn.
When St Kilda was good 2007-2009 we attracted plenty of players. Dempster, Schneider, Gardiner etc
Melbourne got some when they were headed up- May, Lever etc
If you build a strong culture and look headed for success, they will come.
Reality is, odds are stacked against St Kilda, we all know that. No Marvel tenant has won a flag in over 20 years except the fairytale Dogs. (Essendon, Carlton, Saints, North, Dogs).
But Saints are in a better position with better young players than any other time in the last 15 years. If they keep developing, others will want to join them.

Not exactly star players in their prime…

All of the Hawks supporters have gone to the Essendon no mans land thread. Predictable!

Must've been a pretty heartening win.
I'm on record as rating Rowan Marshall very highly.
Now I gotta recognise Michito Owens' importance to the Saints; I thought he was just a nuisance but now I know better.

Christ can’t do anything right can we? I think any club would be very pleased if they managed to trade in those three guys to make a flag tilt.
Dempster and Gardiner were All Australians - Gardiner with West Coast, Dempster with St Kilda
May and Lever too
So yeah, they were stars
And I can think of a few AFL teams who would love prime Schneider right now.
About 18 of them....
Delisted's Deep Dive! 
Well well well. Some posters have egg on their face tonight don't they? From Neutrals stating 'this will be a belting' to the Geelong fellowship being extremely confident.
Not me though.
Before the game even started I felt it. I felt it in the pit of my stomach. Like a sixth sense, a proud Hawthorn enjoyer is drawn to a Geelong loss.
But Delisted how did you see this coming? Well my friends 2 reasons.
1. Science. Geelong simply cannot play on a field that's more narrow than a doorway. GMHBA is basically an hour glass.
2. Pure Heart. People will talk about the class of NWM or Higgins etc, but god damn not many teams in the league have a Lion like Zak Jones. What a game he played. He just couldn't be stopped. Was a beautiful thing.
Keeler. Wow. On his last legs all night but just kept persisting. Wilkie anyone? No? How about a warm glass of Jack ****ing Mcrae. Dogs said no and Saints said yes.
I'm not going to go into stats today or the game plan because today was more than that. Today was about being Australian. A proud Australian.. Heck, today was about the Saints.

Well yeah I’m referring to when you got them they weren’t star players in their prime
They were role players
And in gardiners case past his prime
What's your point?

That you need to bottom out cos you don’t have the luxury of bringing in gun players in their prime
Like a big club can which is what the original post you quoted was referencing
