Imagine how these two would have changed St Kilda's Grand Final run.

Cox for Milne iirc due to GT

Mooney was after 03 season would’ve been interesting..

Milne or Cox? That could be a debate that gets us through til draft Day at least!

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Cox would have delivered a Premiership.
But i still think just throwing the guy who trained with us ( Barlow ) a rookie pick the year before he got one would have too.

He's also no superstar. Role player who was at the right club at the right time.

and Sam Mitchell .( another GT mistake )

 

[Enclosed_Animal]

and Sam Mitchell .( another GT mistake )

Ben Cousins was the massive missed call for me. FFS I think we even presented him a jumper

Imagine him on a HFF in 09/10 ... Nobody can convince me that call wouldn't have made the difference on GF day.

We nearly burned the club to the ground just after that period anyway, so who cares what the fallout might have been.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

He's also no superstar. Role player who was at the right club at the right time.

He probably would have played that role better than Kosi.

Kosi should not have played for a year after that hit by Gia

Additional St Kilda list change

St Kilda Football Club has informed Ed Phillips he will not be offered a contract for 2021.

[AP Erebus]

Not surprising, was given a few games there in the back of the year and didn't really seem like he was up to it.

Tough call, but I can understand it.

Call me crazy but I'd take Milne all day every day over Cox.

Call me crazy but I'd take Milne all day every day over Cox.

Me too. 574 goals in 275 games. So enjoyable to watch. He wasn't the only one not to fire in those GFs

Love Yapper BUT... Cox serving our midfield in 04/05/09/10... Flags.

Amateurs; clowns! Recruiting the CEO’s son

Should’ve appointed Shane Martin CEO and we’d be swimming in flags by now

UNLUCKY

St Kilda

The Saints’ rise from 14th to the finals was already impressive, but it’s even more so when you consider they were battling a big swing in close game luck.

’s side went an AFL-worst 1-4 in 2020.

Tight losses to North Melbourne (two points), Fremantle (six points), Brisbane (three points) and Melbourne (four points) meant Saints fans had to wait until the last home and away round to see if they would play finals.

But in reality St Kilda was clearly one of the six best teams this year - their percentage of 116.2 was just behind West Coast’s, and almost 10 points higher than Collingwood, Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs - but their record of 10-7, matching the Dogs, just didn’t show it.

They should be better than 1-4 in close games next year. So if you’re looking for reasons to back the Saints to push into the top four in 2021, here you go.

I remember that game well. Hickey started it, his holding-the-ball tackle on Robert Murphy
