Its too late to suggest such a thread is the cause of bad luck, and there are so many i'm losing track of it all.
If i'm wrong or missing anything let me know and i'll edit this OP.
Phillipou. 27 Jan. Stress Fracture , Right Femur. Current Status - no load. Expected return: Round 9 -...
Botts wanted one, but couldn't figure out how to start one.
I think we should draft someone really really good, but have no idea who that is, hope that Darymple knows his stuff.
The AFL are needing to operate under government restrictions should players get Covid19 during the season.

Its been said that around half of Victorian AFL players have already...
I totally understand and accept that paid advertising is a big part of covering costs.
However, should it be acceptable that we have scam advertising featuring the likes of Dick Smith, without his permission?
There is an advertisement that seems to have Dick Smith endorsing some bitcoin scheme...
And no BS does not stand for BrianSpeaking.
Here's some of the weird things stats tell us about the season past.
AFL player ratings.
StKilda has no players in the top 25. Melbourne have 2. ( Gawn and Oliver). Fremantle have 3. Sydney have 2. Carlton have 1.
Stkilda's highest rated...
Based on averages per game lets see how our players fit in.
Free Kicks given. Jack Steven is number one in the AFL ( 3.8 per game) , but only played 4 games. Our other high achievers White and Longer also played limited games.
Free Kicks away. Darragh Joyce 2.7, 6th in the AFL. Not great...
Well interesting to me .
StKilda's Highest rated player is Jack Steven (42nd) Jack Steele ( 55th in the AFL ) similar to Wines and well ahead of Seb ( 67thth).
( Yeah i know this rating system is crap ).
The player with the highest average Free Kicks per game in the AFL is Jack Steven on 3.8...
Well the best and fairest are done and dusted with no huge surprises, but given the crappy season we had I propose the following awards be added.
The ELJAY "Worst and Ugliest" will be awarded to one of the winners of the below categories.
Now accepting nominations for :
The Clinton Jones...
The way i see it there are plenty suggesting that player X will be gone end of year. More than we will actually need to get rid of.
If we choose to de-list 5 players who will they be.
It may be that players such as Brown or Stevens may throw in the towel but i'm ignoring that for now.
I have...
So after telling us who the teams were going to draft, the experts will now be telling us why the club that took player X at pick 50 did better than the club who took player Y at pick 20.
How good are these guys?
I had a look at 7 "experts" who told us how the draft would go down, to compare...
I've been browsing some of the old threads. They make for interesting reading.
For example , we look back now and think , "what were we thinking we drafted Cain Ackland "?
Prior to the draft we knew Knobel would be leaving, and there were also concerns that Blake would get poached by the...
From the Saints.
Most Kicks Roberton - 434, ( 3rd in the contest ).
Most Handballs . Ross. 339 ( 8th in the contest ). 15.4 per game.
Disposals . Ross 657 ( 6th in the contest ). 29.9 per game.
Contested Possessions Ross. 216 ( 31st in the contest ). But less per game than Steele (10.5) or...
Yeah its still mathematically possible in 2017, but we all know where we are at and i'm going to prematurely ejaculate.
I know we will be either drafting or trading in some talent , but we don't know what that is for now , so lets ignore it for the purposes of the discussion here. ( please...
Anyone with particular stats about our players, or even interesting stats about other players. Wack em in here.
Based on Averages per game during 2016:
Joey got the most kicks for StKilda, 17th in the AFL ( Shaw got the most ).
Steven the most Handballs , 25th in the AFL. and the most...
Based on the discussion of forward rucks in the pre-season thread, this may be of interest.
I had a look at who was kicking the goals in the AFL based on their height.
Taking into account only the top 40 goalkickers
In 2015 it was.
308 goals 17% by players less than 180cm
263 goals 15% by...

Surely there can be no one better suited to preaching morals and ethics.
Please post pictures in the unlikely event you can think of anyone.
Jack Steven is second in the AFL for "inside 50"s but on average per game Joey is number 1.
Nick Riewoldt takes more marks per game than any other player. Dempster is 12th.
Delaney is tenth in the AFL for disposal efficiency, but of those above him , only Jarad Rivers had enough game time...

Sorry, how did you arrive at that ridiculous comment.
I'll admit i was hoping Essendon would get screwed over, 2nd rounder for Carlisle would have been...
Pick a player that you'd like to trade from your club.
Then channel arrogant stupid thoughts until you can think like an Essendon supporter.
Tell us why the player you want to trade is rated so hightly.
Tell us what a reasonable trade would be. ( using your Essendon enhanced logic )...
Just random.
1, The guy on the youi commercials.
This guy has obviously been chosen for these adds because he appeals to a wide selection of the market.
I don't know if its just me but I can't stand the smug little ****.
I don't hit anyone but I really want to smack this guy in the mouth...
There are a lot of comments about how "ordinary" Armitage is. You read it enough and you start to believe he's a total spud.
One Word : Clearances.
Armo may not be Gary Ablett in his wildest dreams but he's StKilda's best clearance winner in2014, and he has 74% disposal effiency. 74 is...
OK Its not computers but it is technology and definitely geekish.
I have an LG TV and I wanted to run audio to my old analog amplifier.
The TV has a PCM audio setting.
So I purchased a cheap digital to analog converter and plugged it ( toslink ) into the tv.
Nothing. Not a sound.
So I plug...
Freo are out, its time for drastic measures for 2015 and Ross needs our help.
We know he is a master of the trade table, resurrecting the careers of the likes of Polo, Peake, and Sylvia, and he is able to work medical wonders on the likes of Scott Gubleton and Jesse Smith.
Who should he target...
So our team is evolving.
Who does everyone think is our best 22 right now.
Please don't add hypothetical trades and recruits.
Assume that everyone who the club hasn't made an announcement on is still on the list.
Assume all the players are un-injured.
Include rookies.
Its not that easy...
