Time to look ahead to our two week stint in Adelaide, starting with the Pear.
Your guess is as good as mine who wins this, but I think we’ll be better of for having the bye to recalibrate after some early season learnings.
Hey Sainters,
Seeking the wisdom of Saints fans, for a definite first world problem, but hopefully this thread could help other saints fans in the future also. I have an MCC membership (restricted level, probably 7-10 years away from full membership), and I’m seriously considering giving it up...
I started watching footy full time during the 2020 season. There have been four matches between st kilda and Brisbane in that time.
2020, Round 13: Brisbane by 2 points.
2021, Round 17: St Kilda by 32.
2022, Round 13: Brisbane by 21.
2022, Round 22, Brisbane by 15.
All to say, I’m not...

Was only a matter of time, but great signing, and great turn around from the positional abyss he seemed to be in last year...
Mid-Season Draft June 1st
As the mid-season draft is less then a month away I reckon it’s time to open up this thread.
Last year we scored Max Heath and Cooper Sharman, two galaxy brain selections from pick 7 and pick 16 (IIRC).
This year, I’ve just realised that with Hayes doing his ACL, we...
With Higgins returning this week, Webster the next week, and possibly Jones, Billings, Clark and Ryder in the subsequent week(s) what is our best 22 in 2022?
Could we be looking at a 100% healthy/available team (minus Coffield) by the time we play Melbourne in a couple of weeks?
Who would go...
Has joined on a one a 1 year deal as part of the SSP.
Did some nice stuff in the intra-club, and expect him to be good depth when we need it. Especially with Coffield and maybe Highmore down at times in that medium-tall defender role. Not a bad pick-up...
Happy New Years Saints fans (if you’re into that sort of thing), hopefully 2022 is a ripper.
What are our resolutions for 2022? What do we want to see from the club, the players and our game?
I’ll start:
- A pre-season which actually sets us up as best as possible for the regular season.
-...
Tom Campbell is now a Saint.
DFA, 1 year deal.
Should be a handy back up ruck, needed to be done.
Not sure if worthy of a toast or not but look, only player we have picked up thus far so I’ll take it. Let’s hope he brings the heat.

Since trade season is over, thought I’d start thinking about ladder predictions for 2022. AKA, I’m bored. Hopefully this can be a time capsule I can look back on and laugh at when I’m horribly wrong come September next year. Feel free to post yours also - whether it be silly or serious, biased...
As the Trevor Barker Award night has been announced, I would like to congratulate Jack Steele on winning the award. This may come as a surprise to some, but he is well deserving and has had a stellar year! 😉😉...
