    I think their record there in the last few years has been unreal. You really shouldn’t even count that as travel for them.

    Autopsy Round 8 | St Kilda vs Carlscum

    I gotta say I couldn’t think of many things I’d rather do less than listen to a bunch of saints nuffies commentating on our games when we’re playing like shit but listening to others teams doing it… compelling.

    Autopsy Round 8 | St Kilda vs Carlscum

    They had a pretty simple triangle outlet stoppage and contest structure and they hold that pretty well. Voss was a clearance beast and it looks like it’s all he coaches well. It’s also under 12s stuff and pretty easy to fix. We essentially went man/sweeper to start the second half, got their...

    Injury Max King's Hamstring

    If whats been alluded to is true (that we front loaded him) then paying $500k of his salary to be somewhere else (and thats assuming thats all we have to pay) seems pointless. If we hadnt front loaded him then the salary cap relief might be worth pursuing but wed get absolutely **** all for him...

    News New Jumpers for 2026

    This is great dont get me wrong but whats the heritage of the diamonds? Isnt that pre season jumper that it references a jumper you wore one time?

    News St Kilda Media Thread 2026

    To be fair West Coast are shit, they also just lost to Richmond over there and Csrlton has been a story for a few weeks. GC also still has some pretender status, were ultimately winning the games we should win, GC would be an upset but not a huge one. Sydney or Hawthorn would get some headlines.

    Jumper clash fails

    Personally i dont care, its your home kit, you can wear whatever you like, its on the away team to create the contrast for a home kit not you. Also isnt your away just a fully white back (no number panel), GWS has the same back for home and clash but again, IMO that issue is with their clash...

    Autopsy Round 8 | St Kilda vs Carlscum

    Only position we dont really have a natural fit for too. There for someone to lockdown. I had this convo with a dear friend on the weekend. I think it depends a big what you wanna do this year/next. We dont need to beat any of those teams (who are all likely top 4/6) to make "finals" this...

    NRL NRL 2026 - Round 9

    Fair, i didnt say there wasnt more scoring, just that teams can still defend. Which is response to this. In any event, its a fair criticism, i personally like both of the games. The Rabbitohs v Knights game was compelling as was the Manly v Penrith game.

    NRL NRL 2026 - Round 9

    I dont know about unpopular but we also had an 18-16 game on the same day as the 42-38 game. Dogs, Storm, Titans, Eels and Tigers all kept to 3 tries or less. Good teams still seem capable of defending well.

    Jumper clash fails

    Im pretty sure if we are away we would wear the candy stripes. Its a white back, white shorts and the front is probably equally all three of our colors (which i imagine is the argument about why it doesnt work) but its clearly a predominantly white kit.

    Injury Max King's Hamstring

    I still reckon Keeler could work, hes taken longer to develop but he is still 21? His athletic profile is amazing and he could really fill that forward/ruck role. I doubt hes even winning a coleman but i still think he could become a good 40 goal a year forward if we got the midfield set up right.

    Injury Max King's Hamstring

    During my rehab i did a proper calf tear (which i thought was a re rupture), hammy strain, MCL strain and then countless calf strains etc. All culminated with me partially rupturing my other achilles 12 months after my first. Thankfully no surgery and i effectively gave up on getting "back to...

    NRL NRL 2026 - Round 9

    That Bunnies/Knights game was compelling viewing. Scraps, alot of feeling, Ponga showing what hes capable of and Trell being terrifying with ball in hand. I think the Bunnies need some cooler calmer heads to lead them, Trell and Walker are both so volatile. Trell at least still has his best...

    Injury Max King's Hamstring

    Has to be, its lower intensity and on hugely managed minutes and he still broke down. I do worry about his confidence, whether he can play or not becomes a bit secondary if he just breaksdown every time he tries. I feel like hes had at least one hammy before but i stand to be corrected, the...

    I reckon JSOS would be a close second. Had a quiet game but he just throws everything at the ball in contest.

    Too many people will speculate on his timeline as we all did with the calf and the knees. I get the frustration but I also get why they’re doing it like this.

    Injury Max King's Hamstring

    In reality the issue isn’t the “is it 4 weeks plus conditioning or is it true 6” it’s really that he couldn’t get through 6 quarters of VFL footy. The likelihood of ongoing soft tissue injuries and reoccurrence is through the roof and hell be a continuous monitor and manage for a long time now

    Honestly it’s not that surprising. I said hawks even if it was mild (then he’d miss Sydney). They’re going to be ULTRA cautious

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    Season starts in March and ends in September (assuming no finals) even if they do a 6 week pre season (which they won’t it would be longer) it’ll be more than 6 months.

    Injury Max King's Hamstring

    I think making the connection to his contract and injury was pretty poor but I also thought it was pretty well accepted the contract was about $1m a year over the length and front loaded so likely 1.5-1.3 in the first few years?

    Injury Max King's Hamstring

    Match conditioning is the whole reason he was there and he’s pinged a hammy in the first half of a VFL game indicating he didn’t have the conditioning for that load. We might bring him straight back in but there is no way the s&c guys would be recommending it.

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    Depends how you view it really. If you’re young and get to live in a 5 star compound with everything done for you to make that money free and clear, seems like a fair trade off to me. Not sure, ultimately the PNG government will probably give these guys places to stay and declare them...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    Again, it’s not my argument so I don’t know why you’re arguing with me. Obvious is not the same as explicit detail. I’m not saying I agree with the complaint but I think saying “I can see the point they’re making without agreeing with it” is a pretty reasonable position.

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    I genuinely don’t think you understand that you’re still a bottom 5 side (as are Carlton this year) so the changes you reckon hamper you actually assist you. If you wanna clarify yourself about how this impacts you (use the merett example if you like) feel free otherwise I’ll continue posting...
