    When will Damien Barrett eff off?

    When? He adds nothing to footy, he is a spiteful little creep, his stupid Sliding Doors thing isn't sliding doors at all, his use of player nicknames is nauseating. Just go

    Banter Write Dwayne Russell's most predictable material for Saints games

    I dont really think these are great, but i need to just get them out of my system because I know they are coming. Feel free to add with any Saints players, you can add ones he's actually done already if you like. Lance Collard is tackled: "And Lance is collared." Hugo Garcia handballs to a...

    Competition AFL Jungle League

    Here's a concept you can either run with or ignore, I don't have the time to contribute more than the basic concept, which I will now detail: The AFL have decided to harmonise all club nicknames, creating jungle animal identities for all. Your task is to submit new logos and player apparel for...

    Preview Round 14, 2023: Richmond v St.Kilda - MCG, Saturday 17th June, 7:25PM AEST

    I don't see a round 14 preview around for some reason, so I'll get it going - if there is one, please delete this. I've never done one of these, but never mind, I'm sure it'll be fine. So . . Tigers, eh? . . The Battle For The Heart Of Mini McQualter The Ongoing Grudge Match For The Infamous...

    Toast Watson, Blight & Watters - the positives

    In my time following the club if I had to rank the coaches in reverse order of popularity, Tim Watson, Malcolm Blight and Scott Watters would be the top three, and with good reason. But I was interested in starting a discussion about the positives we saw from these three coaches, to find out if...

    Memberships 2023 St.Kilda Membership Thread (FINAL TALLY - 60,239 - CLUB RECORD)

    George, I won't be offended if you decide to to remake this thread in your name as it seems like a few people have me blocked and I don't really mind but I would prefer as many people as possible to see this theead and I don't think it's too early. Right now I would imagine the club wants to...

    Prediction 2023 super early nuts-on-line Prediction thread

    I couldn't see one of these on our board yet, and the one on the main board is boring, so I thought I'd stimulate discussion here. I decided to copy and paste my predo from the main board. Apologies for lack of faith, usually I am optimistic but lately... Unless we get a decent plan for...

    It's been a depressing few weeks for many of us Saints fans who had previously thought we'd turned a corner, and are now feeling that we're getting left in the dust again. Many clubs have strengthened, and although we do like many of our recent acquisitions, the impression is that what other...

    Analysis Saints Footy - what is it and what do we want it to be?

    I thought I'd make a thread to give us a single space to discuss our team's footy generally rather than in a specific game. If no one cares to use it it'll fall away and that's fine but maybe it can be useful rather than having that conversation split up into various previews and autopsies. So...

    Banter AFL-Y Rules Convention

    Hi Saints fans, Gil here. As a close personal mate of austinnn's, I've asked him to let me use his account to post a heads up. We're trialling a new footy format that we think will excite fans more than the boooooring old model that we've all supported now for so many years. We call it AFL Y...

    Prediction Captain Foresight: Predictions for AFL season 2020

    I don't know if it's kosher for me to go so early, but since I can't imagine any of the draftees have a significant impact on the season, I thought I'd invite you all to channel your inner Nostradami and commit to some predictions for the coming season for the entire AFL, in as much or as little...

    Analysis Who won the Cam McCarthy trade?

    A couple of days ago, as a consequence of some discussion about a possible trade involving St Kilda, Geelong, and Jack Steven, I found myself looking into the Cam McCarthy trade from 2016 and wondering in hindsight how one would rate it. I'll state up front that as a Saints supporter, I have...

    Game Day Round 18, 2019: St.Kilda v Western Bulldogs *LANGLANDS DEBUT*

    I think Jack Lonie coming good after a certain number of games and the penny finally dropping suggests we give White and MacKenzie another chance, but if we are to bring in a lot of new players we must be ruthless and cut our losses. A few more players closer to the bin or trade table than...

    Analysis St Kilda 2019 vs St Kilda 2009

    I'm far too lazy and occupied to look through the average senior 22 of 10 years but I'm wondering how we would go about comparing in player by player, like for like sense, the two teams. I'd be equally interested in the same type of comparison of this year's Saints team and the premiers of 2009...

    Discussion Does our club's current footy dept have a problem with aboriginal players?

    Groan. I really hesitate to make this thread because it's so taboo and so easy for semantics and emotion to derail what could be a straight forward discussion. I'll preface with the significant part of my own post from another thread: So that's my opinion, and I have to admit I get a little...

    Preview St Kilda vs Carlton, Etihad stadium, Saturday 13th May 2:10 PM AEST

    Still the hated enemy, even after years of them being pathetic. We absolutely cannot cancel out our good work in the last two weeks with a shock loss to this navy blue rabble. We decimated them in pre-season, I insist that we decimate them again and get ready to do the same to Sydney (which is...

    Prediction Return of the rotating captain?

    In the next 2-10 years (!) a great St Kilda captain will retire, one of the best players to have ever donned the tricolour. Earlier in his captaincy, Nick Riewoldt was less assured of reclaiming his now bolted-on title. He claimed his captaincy in 2005 under the great rotation experiment (as it...
