Can’t help but have so much confidence in this man and the guys he’s brought in.

“We’ve made great progress this year but we’re still not beating the big boys so we need to continue to improve”.

Now compare that quote to the previous administration who were telling us that the midfield was sorted even though we were struggling to even get close to finals and getting absolutely flogged whenever we played a half decent team. They can see that we’re still lacking that star power in the midfield and instead of just sitting and hoping we’ve got it they’re doing their best to go get it. If one or two of our young guys gets to that level it’ll be a nice cherry on top but we won’t be relying on it. Exactly the right way to go about it.

I can't help but feel we are being run by people who are in positions well below their real life pay grades and experience. These guys are doing such an incredible job in such a short amount of time, it feels like cheating almost. That seems self deprecating a little bit, maybe. Lethlean would never be in a club role like this if he didn't get turfed out of the AFL the way he did.

We are really lucky right now, this is the best I've felt about this team since 2009.

Wonder who Lloyd’s “St. Kilda man” is?
Mentions him fairly often.

Lloyd worked with Battle as a junior and they’re pretty close, Battle keeps in touch with him. However, I doubt Battle would be privy to half of the information that Lloyd comes out with, so there could be someone else.

Yes, very much doubt it would be a player. No way they would have access to that type of information. Possibly Gears but not others I wouldn’t think, unless they need a senior player or two to have a chat with a prospect.

But in the case of McKernan for example, the media are saying Dees were in the box seat for him until Ratts went and did a good sales job on him.

Probably Lovett-Murray.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone high up was deliberately feeding him information so the club can use Lloyd to get their "preferred narrative" circulating in the press. We have these 4D intergalactic level chess players running the show now..........

I'm still not used to enjoying hearing our people speak.
All the years of Richo droning on in mind numbing cliches has left deep wounds that only appear to have healed.

Every time now it's either Lethers, Gags, Ratts, Rath, Rough or Seek guy, and every time it's such a relaxing experience of knowing we're in good hands.
Such a contrast...

Shaun McKernan; New Saints Recruit

St Kilda has bolstered its forward/ruck stocks with the acquisition of former Bomber Shaun McKernan. An unrestricted free agent, McKernan was able to join the Saints for free after he was delisted by the Bombers.

Saints on the march - James Gallagher

St Kilda list boss James Gallagher takes us through the trade for Jack Higgins and the Saints' other moves during the last few weeks

Another Jack heads to St Kilda (and also his Goal of the Year was a legal goal)

Being at the fringes of a premiership team is a hard place to be. Sometimes when opportunity knocks, you have to answer. Jack Higgins is a small forward/midfield type who has been in and out of Ric…

Can't win em all I guess. I would have liked to try him more at half back next year.

Why St Kilda And Jack Higgins Are A Match Made In Heaven

St Kilda, like its style of play, is going somewhere ridiculously fast. The Higgins capture has the potential to help take the Saints to the kind of heights the club has rarely scaled over the last 147 years.

The two superstars St Kilda nearly landed in the mid 2000s before their prime

Imagine how these two would have changed St Kilda's Grand Final run.
