[StCicatriz]

So season 2019 is done. What are you looking forward to in 2020?

#1 An established coaching group to lead our recovery

 

[triggering bro]

Max King’s debut clearly no.1 for mine the continual development of Clark, Battle, Marshall & Coffield & new recruits Hill & whoever else.

King, Bruce as key forwards with Membrey as the 3rd tall.

Clark after another pre season and hopefully getting Roberton back

 

[SaintersUnite]

Debuts of King and hopefully Bytel.
Hannebery playing a full year at full fitness.
Hopefully finals.

An extremely small chance, but the return of Robbo and/or Paddy.

 

[Sully111]

Focus on skills

Max King, prepared to fly over for his debut I’m that excited. Felt like a truck hit me when it looked like a potential ACL.

A close second is Hunter Clark, made giant strides late through the season so really excited to see if he can continue and even improve on that form early next season.

A few other players I’m looking forward to keeping a close eye on over pre season:
Bytel
Hannebery
Billings
Coffield
Battle
Wilkie

Lastly, Brett Ratten. Think he’s the one to take us forward.

like every year putting my money in for my membership to do my part to help this club become competititve

 

[mad-saint-guy]

Really looking forward to watching Marshall, Clark, Gresham, Coffield, Billings, Battle and Hind continue to grow. King's debut will be huge but we need to keep expectations tempered for a beanstalk teenager key forward.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Langlands , Bytel, Paton, and Clark exploding into the midfield, forcing Acres to "give a crap" if he wants to hold his spot.

 

[austinnn]

The removal of some of the dead wood from previous years and whoever the next coach is, an enforced and clear progression into the next level of this group's development past the Richardson ethos into more skill-based movement.

Strong leaders on field
Great decision making, less bombing
Better skills
Better goal kicking
Less injuries

King
Bytel
Hannebury
Clark
Coffield
Marshall
Parker
Hind
Gresham
Battle
Wilkie
Paton
Mayo
Billings

Seeing if Clavarino Alabakis Austin Phillips Joyce Young or Langlands can find their way into the team.

Seeing how any new recruits slot into our team.

Seeing which teams surprise.

Watching hated teams fail again.

Seeing the inaugural St Kilda AFLW season. (Is that next year?)

 

[hayes]

Hoping/praying/begging that Bytel lives up to the hype he has around here.

Clark hopefully taking his half back form to the midfield.

 

[saintkildaman]

I’m exciting to watch JB become an All Australian.

 

[Impatient Saint]

No more strong, solid, pleasing statements!

 

[NarklesHelmet]

Roma, Roma and Roma.

He's my favourite player by quite a distance now.

Love his confidence, love the way he plays. He's our marquee player going forward and can become the best in the comp and drag the midfield and the rest of the team along with him. He's got the ability and the swagger to do it.

What are those? and when do they happen?

We do have our first AFLW season next year so lets get exited there.

Forget it...Coleman medallist next year!

I've only followed the game closely for a couple of years, but I'm told these 'finals' are kind of remedial class for the weaker teams, enabling the smaller clubs to get extra practise to improve their skills as everybody else goes on holiday. It seems a good idea, as it will make next year more competitive.

 

[MightySaint]

King's debut in round 1
Marshall's first all australian gig

 

[The Punter]

Attractive football

 

[PoppedCorn]

Ming, bytel, hunter building a masive tank over pre season, no more seb ross 9 irons...bullets only, hill running the length of the ground in 4 secs.
Plus, if all goes well trade time and the footy gods bless us with no injuries....finals

* i miss finals
