Is it fair to measure their depth based on our game against them?

Kennedy doing his ACL early hurt them badly in that game, and they have the worst injuries in the comp at the moment.

Fair call, but still feel their depth is overstated. And like I said, if they lose another 2-3 very good players again this year, it will stretch them yet again

Tbh i cant see any reason why Kelly would take 5 x 1 over 9 x 1.
Any way you guys spin it. It doesnt make sense to me.
Our offer is good because at the end of the 5 years if your playing well you can earn even more than the 4 million your already guaranteed from the other offer? Lol wtf?
No. If Kelly chooses us over a big long term guaranteed offer from North like that. At least we know he's choosing us over them for reasons other than money. But ofcourse its not just going to be a 2 horse race anyway. Will be other good offers.
I think our offer is low.
(5 x 1) + (4 x 1.5) > 9 x 1

Salary cap getting bigger and bigger, inflation etc... If you back yourself to get better as a player (which a 22yo probably will) why not wait 5 years?

Kelly definitely doesn't play like a wing. He's a pure midfielder and a bloody good one.
I couldn't give a shit if Tom Lamb was a gun at junior level (which isn't true hence him getting drafted in the 40's??) he has done absolutely nothing at AFL level to suggest he would improve our team. Let someone like Carlton or Collingwood roll the dice on him so they can enjoy even more years being mediocre.
Yes Kelly has moved to the midfield this year and is killing it but he spent plenty of time on a wing up until this year. Plenty of press referencing this move and referring to Whitfield and Scully as his fellow wingman. I would be happy to just have him at the club, nice problem to have where do we play Kelly.

Tom lamb doubt we will have to worry about it but he played for vic country and had a shit load of press, some very impressive performances. Kid moved around schools started at st bedes, haileybery and finished at parkdale . I think this is why he fell to pick 32. I'm more interested in the concept of unrealised talent than him in particular. Who knows why some players don't click at some clubs. Plenty of gifted players have made fools of their original clubs. Holmes on the other hand will never be a player just a waste of a list spot imho.

Let's be honest. Kelly can play anywhere around or in the centre square. He could be an inside mid, an inside/outside mid, a pure outside mid or even a back or forward flanker. Kid is a superstar & will only get better.... He is the #1 priority this offseason IMHO

Holmes gets delisted and Marshall upgraded. No need for Lamb.

Who am I?

Freakishly and athletically gifted.

In the right environment this kid could be anything.

At the same stage he's above Tom lynch he's got more tricks.

Athlectically, the kid can stand on your head mark it and then run away from you.

Yes you guessed it a real plodder.

What is news fellow Saint Kilda Football club fans?

Here's a question for my like-minded friends!

IF: There were any recent rumours regarding players

THEN: Which of these rumours would look good written up on the afl website?

Asking for a friend.
Rumour has it that the only reason why Purple is giving oxygen to the Murphy sledge us because Marc's wife knocked him back.

Good enough?
