Long was playing in the match sim today

Its called the St Kilda curse

Just when are starting to look good .........

The curse is real

It must somehow be broken

Preseason seems good. Sad for geary but bugger all else.

Bugger. Do you think you'll be ok for round 1?

Does anyone know the process for patons injury does it mean surgery with plates and screws or is it a full leg plaster cast

I mean your out for the season...the first thing you'd wanna do is get absolutely s**t faced for a week wouldn't you ..just to drown your sorrows....and I'd want Roughy with me...just for the sheer poetry of it.

Could try not recruiting 27plus year olds with history of soft tissue injuries and (in some cases) poor lifestyle choices!

You mean like Hill, Higgins, Butler, Doogs, and Crouch.
Jeez wish we never picked up Ryder.

how many of the underlined were over 27 when we got them?
I will grant you Ryder as a short term success but if you bracket him with Crouch, Hannabery and Jones I think the potential ROI won't be great!

You posted stop recruiting 27 year olds, I gave you 5 in the last two seasons who aren't.
Cherry picking much

 

[StCicatriz]

you can see why the club went and got Ryder and why having a big body ruck to help support Marshall isn't a nice to have its a must have

Yep, and this re-cycled fellah from Adelaide might be quite a savvy pick up too. Seems able to do a job.

Reckon he is most likely going to be at Abbott standard.

Jones was only 24 when we got him and didn’t really have injury issues.

I still maintain Hannebery has been a net benefit to St Kilda despite his injury issues. He will leave the club better than it was before he arrived and he deserves some credit for its transformation. His leadership around the club was essential when he arrived, we had none.

[/QUOTE

I'm not expecting anything...but I think he's a better option than Abbott. He did well in SA. One way or the other he can at least do more than just stand there and tap (eg. Alabama Alabakis)

 

[Saint_Dos]

Hopefully he is a little more fwd capable than Abbott. Sounds like he is fairly reasonable overhead.

 

[robbo1981]

s**t luck guys just a quick thought Dougal is pretty handy in the ruck with Frawley as cover at full back would be better than Hunter.

this. reduced footy dept cap has put a premium on players who can develop those around them.

Bald head makes him look older!
