Hill on nearly 1 million dollars is the most laughable contract in the league. That's aside I think they have done ok. They'll push for the 8.

Pretty sure Armitage retired a couple of months ago.

Armitage hasn't been best 22 for two seasons and just got delisted. This is a very poor post on a lot of levels.
Nah, he didn't retire. He wanted to play on but St Kilda didn't offer him a contract. Nor did anyone else.

Paddys cooked, Zac Jones is a terrible footballer, Howard is up and down, Butler meh. Only decent one is Hill.
Meanwhile they've lost their best midfielder, lost their best marking forward, and a good utility in Acres.
I'm not sure they've improved their list to be honest.
So we’ve seen McBeans name come up, and I reckon he is definitely the answer up forward, but with Howard leaving what about McBeans Glenelg teammate/captain Chris Curran to shore up the defence?
He did the job on Frampton though, think he is definitely the man to keep Ben Brown goalless. Might even be a good vice captain option.
You still give them ratings, gees.

Yeah I made the mistake of doing that as well. Now go and watch the GWS game where he had 5 touches, 2 of which were goals handed to him on a plate but for the rest of the game just couldn’t get anywhere near the ball. We lost by a point with all the momentum and the ball in our forward line for about 90% of the last quarter. That was Dougals last game.I just watched the all the goals video from the Showdown we won this year and Dougal Howard featured prominently

Tredders pretty pissed off with our coaches chopping and changing tacticss and Doooooogs being the fallout. Mentions Monty too. Also says club were keener to keep Frampton than Dooogs. As for Cripps he is saying don’t shoot the messenger.. is just doing what coaches wanted.

If Wines shopped himself around as claimed, how can he be our captain, even half a captain?
He did, he can't but he will because we are spineless.

Thinking more on Tredders comments...
it sounds like the change in our game plan was to intercept and rebound the ball quickly further up the ground rather then letting it get to the back and then spoil it so we could reset. ( Dougal’s specialty)
Monty was expecting him to mark the ball in order to do this.
Dougal was left out while he worked on this craft
Monty said as much early in the year, saying Dougal knew what he had to do.
He didn’t improve much in this area so perhaps Monty saw him as unsuitable to play the way he and Ken want the Port defence to play ( to enable quicker football)
Then we were after more draft currency to balance the team, and improve and Dougal became the answer when he was offered the big bucks by the Saints and wanting to go there?

2 undersized plodders? Surely you are not including Clurey in this statement? Clurey may not be the bulking full back (he cant help being 5 cm shorter than what's required) but he is the one and only shining light for Ports defence.
Fair call on Armitage I was thinking in the past their too much the same that you guys are with Steven.
Yes he WAS their best mid 2 years ago in his prime at 26-27 but they didn’t lose their best mid this trade period which is what the point was.
It’s the equivalent of saying Carlton lost their best mid in Marc Murphy. He WAS their best mid but there is absolutely zero chance Steven would’ve been going into this season as their best mid ahead of Ross or Steele or is right now after having a terrible 2019 as an aged, overweight, absolute plodder who was butchering the ball.
He will be 30 when the season starts, was 15kg overweight at the end of the season and Ross has definitely well surpassed him into his prime now as has Steele so no St Kilda didn’t lose their best midfielder.

I think Tredrea was pretty pragmatic about the whole trade period .
He mentioned the coaching style of Bassett v Monty ..... front shoulder v back shoulder defensive approach. Back shoulder would definitely have been more Dougs style as hes not that strong body on body, but his pace would help effectively playing from behind.
Tredrea also defended Cripps as you say but did call out Kane for going hard because of a personal agenda against him (Cripps effectively tried to move Kane out).
Trent Goodrem might be ok as a KPD. Then we can make Delta no1 ticket holder and hopefully get some national exposure on The Voice.

Since the grassy knoll, I have always enjoyed a good Conspiracy Theory.
Theory: The AFL are the puppeteers behind the inexplicable desire of players wanting to go to St Kilda.

Is there a Cornes alive that doesn't have a personal agenda with someone?
More blaming of players not fitting into a coaches style rather than creating a game plan based around the available talent?
We aren't doing anything right.
