St Kilda President Andrew Bassat tees off on the AFL draft system, specifically father/son and the Northern Academies

[mighty_lions]

Not as much of a joke as Brisbane getting another gun Ashcroft kid for chump change when you have just won a premiership.

so if it was 2 riewoldts you would be saying the same thing? what a joke cry me a river

Would be completely fine in paying fair price in the future if the rules are changed now

it already its fair price the discount is marginal when clubs don't bother calling them out at 1, daicos went at 4, Ashcroft 2

 

[StCicatriz]

what salary cap concessions if you were talking about the ones we received more than 2 decades ago which is really relevant to today, it was for interstate players at a % of the list

Isn't it relevant?

Can I ask how many games ashcroft played and when they were played?

Now please remind me... when did st kilda ever have salary cap concessions thrown at them to retain players? Remind me again how many father sons we have had?

How many many games short was Anderson from being a father son? When did we delist him? Was that around the time Brisbane inherited a bunch of talent with cap concessions?

 

[StCicatriz]

ahh the grand final is in Melbourne every year for the next 50 years

Rofl that's like claiming you have am advantage at metricpn stadium

Fair dinkum. Do interstate supporters think all Melbourne clubs are the same and one entity.

20% discount is marginal but can't see that a game at a venue we play at as much as you is neutral........ riiight......

yes, yes it seems they do

its 20% FOR EVERYONE omg I must be explaining shit to the dumbest people of all time, there's no reason that st Kilda don't go on a run and have the next 10 fathers sons that are all superstars, and having the grand final in Melbourne is a clear advantage as opposed to "interstate clubs"

 

[Silkie]

It’s just a classic St Kilda woe is me story. Bungled your list over a decade via your own choices and upset that you get none of the structural advantages the other VFL clubs did and trying to make some noise with the ultimate goal being forcing the AFLs hand to give you band 1 compo for battle.

Mission accomplished. I don’t know why we are still talking about this issue. We won’t hear from Fred Bassat again until the Saints get their begging bowl put again.

You've posted in here the most (by a fair margin too) and yet you're somehow still missing the point. The lady doth protest too much methinks?

Have you still not bothered to watch the speech yet and therefore arguing something you don't understand? Or are you having a go at others' comprehension skills when maybe yours aren't up to scratch? Either way, it's getting pretty embarrassing now.

They won't because st kilda had a history of not retaining talent.

you still haven't explained how the MCG is a clear advantage to St Kilda.

He's cooked himself. Never seen someone so prepared to look so foolish in front of others.

Ashcroft, like the other one this year, would have been taken at 1 if the AFL didn’t load up a cash incentive for the first pick. Another endeavour by the AFL to obscure the farce.

Everyone should be paying a premium to skip the queue.

 

[mighty_lions]

ahh you don't have to travel, its literally a few kms down the road, its your HOME ground in finals or whenever it suits your financial agenda, go and ask Fagan the massive difference it is for interstate teams to play in grand finals logistically vs Melbourne teams

 

[mighty_lions]

well that's their problem and nothing to do whether it is fair

The intellect here of some Lions and Hawks fans as they respectively gear up to get Ashcroft at pick 1 with peanuts, and continue the long tradition of stealing Saints talent. Classism at its best.

Your president looked pretty foolish in front of others.

Your club literally lowballed peanuts for Billy Longer and couldn't have given one squat at our demise.

Swings and roundabouts, figure out how to fix your club without whinging.

so it wasn't an issue playing against Sydney in the GF?
It wasn't a burden for your opponents playing 2 finals in Brisbane?
its only an issue when a non-vic team has to travel?

it's not out HOME anything.

it is your HOME ground, why did you play Collingwood at the mcg, and the relevance of Brisbane vs Sydney grand final???? wtf of course its not advantageous or disadvantageous you absolute idiot however if we played st Kilda 1 team would have to travel and stay in hotels etc etc and 1 team wouldn't, but clearly you can't understand this

Pack it up fellas. Getting one home game at the MCG, playing 6 in total in the home and away season, the exact same amount as Brisbane has played there, means we have an advantage.

its not our home ground at all, yes we PAID to play at the MCG vs an MCG tenant, but it's not our home ground

Saints’ $100k sacrifice to bring Spud’s Game to masses​

St Kilda has taken a $100,000 hit to move this year’s Spud’s Game from Marvel Stadium to the MCG with projections of a crowd far greater than the Docklands venue’s capacity.
