    Training Saints preseason 2026

    On what planet do we bring in a bloke like Lethlean, who (when working for the AFL) at best displayed poor judgement and at worst predatory behavior to set standards. In a decade of mediocrity and poor choices (recruitment, coaching, player development, football dept, medical etc) he was amongst...

    Training Saints preseason 2026

    Poor bloke. Pings a calf while on a modified training program and then pings it again while in rehab. FMD how can that even happen. Feel for Max and really hope he gets through this but it must be taking a toll on his overall well-being. Either the rehab team are not doing their job properly or...

    Roast St Kilda in no mans land - Part 2

    We all know these games are glorified circle work. From all accounts the conditions were difficult and while both sides were missing plenty from their best 23, the Suns clearly had more top liners not playing. However you can be sure that had the scoreline been reversed the pile on St. Kilda...

    Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

    Anyone questioning the football ability of N.Daicos is a either a troll or doesn’t understand the game. He is not a physical beast in the Dusty, Danger, Matthews mold but has exceptional footy IQ and never stops hunting the footy. If you get it 30 plus times a game and run as hard as he does...

    Pass mark for St Kilda in 2026

    No massive expectations for this year. For 2026 make finals (top 8). If everything goes right perhaps win a final. 2027 top 4-6 and win a final or maybe even two. 2028 compete for a flag. Must improve on last seasons 12th place finish but the most significant improvement will come 2027 and...

    Roast St Kilda in no mans land - Part 2

    I just don’t know why a coach would weigh into what an opposition player is worth. Obviously Fagan is highly respected and comes across as a decent bloke but very easy for a club gifted academy and FS picks and that can attract players on the lure of a flag to pot others. Things can change very...

    Prediction Best 22 - 2026

    I think most punters have fairly similar best 23 with conjecture over perhaps 4 or 5 players and a few positions. While you should always pick your best available team, I think you need to keep one eye on the future without gifting selections. As such I prefer younger mids (Garcia/Box/Hall) to...

    Training Saints preseason 2026

    I didn’t make that comment so not really sure. Fair enough that a young indigenous kid moving from the other side of the country would, particularly in the early days, need some extra care, but my take on the post was that it’s time for him to deliver on his obvious talent. I didn’t think it had...

    Training Saints preseason 2026

    I think he means it's time for Lance to deliver. Whichever way you slice it his body of work so far is very underwhelming. Notwithstanding he often played as the sub, he averaged 3 kicks, 2 handballs 1 mark and 0.7 goals per game this year. 2024 outputs even worse. Hardly set the work on fire in...

    News 2025 St. Kilda Media Thread

    Bloody hell we took the gas that day. Still gives me nightmares. Notwithstanding the family tragedies that beset Winmar and Loewe on the eve of the game, Adelaide only had a handful of bona fide stars and were missing Ricciuto and Modra. They really were a team full of no names and role players...

    Delisted Harry Boyd - off to the SANFL

    Signed at Norwood for 2026. Was far from disgraced in his only AFL game and stiff to be dropped. We were hopelessly undersized most of the season and reckon he deserved another opportunity. Club obviously wanted to have a look at Heath (who was hugely underwhelming). Boyd might have been...

    Roast St Kilda in no mans land - Part 2

    Good post. While 2027/28 is when we are (hopefully) more likely to contend, I would think that finals should absolutely be the goal next year. Add a fit King, Henry, Howard, Philipou etc to TDK, Ryan, JSOS and Flanders and we are looking like a decent team. Not quite the Brisbane Lions but one...

    Review 2025 Winners and Losers of the Trade Period

    For pick 7 and a future 2nd St. Kilda have added DeKonning, Ryan, Flanders and Silvagni. Have also kept Wilkie, Windy and Marshall despite the noise around a player exodus. Have had some horrific recruiting fails over the years (mainly 2013-2018) but this was a positive trade period. Steele...

    Recommitted Leek Aleer - likely to re-sign with the Giants after St Kilda walked away

    Trying to be balanced here. Not St. Kilda's finest moment and with 6 days left of the trade period I think we might have walked away a bit soon. But seriously some of the commentary is way over the top. The "our thoughts are with Leek" post from GWS is surely a P155 take. If they were that...

    Recommitted Leek Aleer - likely to re-sign with the Giants after St Kilda walked away

    Gotta love Big Footy. St.Kilda were throwing away money on an overpaid, talentless spud when negotiating a trade but are now a disingenuous pathetic rabble for not taking him. Can’t win it seems. I think he has some potential and would have been happy to see him in our colors but once JSOS was...
