Training 2019 Preseason

Because he was a top 5 pick elite mid we could get for 41. If he never plays due to back though ...

Yea that’s what I’m saying back surgery is a tough one to overcome but you’re right he was a top pick we hit at 41 I guess

Regardless of the outcome, the club needs its supporters now more than ever. Time to stick fat, grab a membership (if you haven’t already) and show the playing group, and the club that we’re in it with them.
It’s hard work supporting St. Kilda but it isn’t out livelihood like it is there’s.
See you all at Marvel Stadium next Sunday.

Quite strange that it’s already 10am but we’re yet to hear anything about a press conference.

Hope to god it’s not true but a young man with a young family is much much more important.

A footy page on FB saying Robbo will step away from Footy in 2019. Not sure if true or not

 

[DontArgue4]

Just wanted to come past and say get well to Dylan, absolutely crap situation but his health is by far and away the most important thing.

I really hope it all gets worked out and he returns to the footy field. Great player and seems like a top guy too.

Sort of good news. Not retired but out for 2019 with Saints to add some spud to replace him for the year.

It's up again now, with a link to the website. Not retiring, but no Robbo in 2019.

Unfortunately just seems like Robbo is hoping that the medicos will change their mind. To sit out the entire season again, surely he must see the writing on the wall?

I think out for 2019 means retirement without having to say retirement. Better for morale, can stay around the club and be a mentor / quasi-coach. But anyone who thinks he plays AFL again is very optimistic.

Yep.. and ‘explore all options’ - hoping for a cure or procedure to fix.

Thought this quote from Richo said it all 'We, like him, are hopeful a solution to his condition can be found and we can see him in Saints colours once again.'

My read on it is the club has done Robbo a solid by retaining him on the list instead of forced retirement. Ensures Robbo gets 100% 2019 salary & not a percentage.

Well positive.... it’s time to stand the **** up and be counted for every other player. West coast won a flag without Shepard Gaff and Nic Nat

I think it is win win. We can use him around the club as a coach and we don't have the more devastating effect on morale that retirement would do.

The club always need us. And we will always stand by them. But it's about time we get rewarded. I'm actually getting worried now that I may never see a flag and that reality is to much to comprehend.

This will be my 47th consecutive year as a member and I'm yet to see a flag.

I've also never rooted a supermodel.

Life is tough and doesn't always pan out as we'd like it to.

 

[CaptainRisky]

I reckon your shady mate has been on big footy

He isn't my mate , the guy it came from is a friend of a friend , anyway apparently its all BS

 

[bird_man]

Absolutely gutted about the Robbo news.

One of the main reasons I was really starting to get excited about the year ahead.

I get this. I ECO during last season, not because of the on field shit, the off field crap got to me. I am lucky enough that my other passion Leeds are flying and I have got right into supporting them(watch every game etc) compared to previous seasons.

I still have my membership. I’ll still go next week. But I am finding it tough to feel connected to the passion I previously had for us.

Probably delaying the inevitable.

He will be involved at the club most likely.

Gives him time to check every option.

 

[StCicatriz]

Getting Wilkie and especially King it says to me the club planned for it.

It cant be a surprise to the club.

I think there's some truth to this!
