Alright, if we’re all in… The likes of JUH, Bobby Hill, Knevitt Husthwaite, Blanck, Ramsden, Murphy & Stevens, Lord, Williams need examination. Hope 1-2 to AFL list (+1 FN Cat B) & 1-2 to VFL list Carroll will go. Should have cut Butler & Byrnes to free up more spots, really.

Ramsden fills Keeler/Roma slot. Athletic freak (ex-runner). I’d love JUH because of our needs & his huge upside. Bobby - be guided by Brad there. Murphy & Stevens: want them in our VFL program at least. Knevitt & Husthwaite - VFL megastars. AFL? Lord & Williams - not for me.

Suddenly, everything is back on the table. Got to wonder if we’re now going to offer deals to JUH & Bobby Hill. We’re risking it for the biscuit. Maybe we have to with our 2027 #1 Pick gone. This is not what I expected. But…maybe we’re just sick of finishing 11th. Game on.

RESCUE PACKAGE 🛟 I hope we’re adding the 40+ goals that we couldn’t find in 2026 He’s now our #1 forward based on this past season. It could backfire, but the contract terms are minimal. A bold statement of intent or an unnecessary risk? Time will tell. Please deliver 📦
St Kilda FC@stkildafc22h
St Kilda Football Club intends to add experienced forward Jake Stringer to its playing list ahead of the 2027 season when the AFL’s Delisted Free Agency Period opens on 2 November. DETAILS 📝: stk.lt/4ypUUQH

Nick Riewoldt sums it all up best. It’s only a small outlay for Jake Stringer, but symbolically it feels like (and looks like) the last stand of Ross, SOS & Gubby. They’re putting all their chips on red. Hang on to your hats.

Looks like the mild interest has escalated into something more concrete. Thoughts?
The Saint@StKFootballOct 16
The club has mild interest in Jake. Doing checks atm but my gut feel is no because Mitchito does the same role. I’d prefer Jamarra because it’s all upside. Stupidly optimistic, but he + Max together fit (100-1 but worth a try) would actually solve our *entire* structural issue

What’s scary.. is the amount of players delisted that would be fringe players at the Saints.. and we’ve got no list spots because we signed up some spuds for no reason before the trade period

No to SOS forward. But there are possibilities. Brady Wright - still there at #41? Unlikely. Big fan. 22yo & ready. Jamarra? I know, I know But he wants to be in Melb. Finished his VFL year with bags of 5.1 & 4.0. Some risk but we are now *beyond* desperate - a risk I’d take.

Do they plan to play JSos down forward?

Always liked Ramsden, could absorb some of Marshall/Keeler role. Did like his 2025 VFL Finals series, kicking 8 goals in three games (inc. 4 v Southport), plus bags of 3 & 4 in the weeks before. Maybe not tall enough (203cm) to be a #1 ruck but as ruck-fwd back up, worth a look

yall should pick up Ramsden, we just delisted him and would be good fwd/ruck depth

To be clear, he’s not best 22, it’s just more that the club wanted Marshall to be a ruck/forward and he just wasn’t. Ramsden seems more than OK as a forward; as an AFL ruck, I’d say he could be serviceable, too Only 23, Reeves & Leek good mentors. Can see how he fits our needs.

Truth is that Ross + Lenny believe King will recover and that Sharman, Caminiti & Owens is enough to make finals. The fanbase might not share the view, but it might explain why we never draft pure big tall forwards. Tauru & Barrat touted as swingmen but seem natural defenders.

Should St Kilda have been more aggresive with a pursuit of a key forward in this year's trade period? Kane and Sam discuss 👇 @SENBreakfast | #AFL

I probably shouldn’t say this, but Hawthorn were the club I enjoyed working with the most. They set bold dreams then build real plans and take decisive actions. Super professional. Sam is the best. Compelling, convincing, consistent. Will be competing for years because of it.

Incredible.

One of their best traits is they move on quickly. DGB a good example. A bad choice. Delisted him quickly but did so respectfully. Even the Indigenous scandal-that-wasn’t - handled it so well. Already fixing the Dingley wind issue. Moore’s antics; dealt with. Zero dwell time.

Far out. This isn’t good from Lenny. Even if Max was playing, I’d still want us to get another two key forwards - one for the now, one for the future. Hawthorn are flag favourites and have King, Chol, Dear, Lewis & Gunston. Even let Schubert go. What is going on down there…😳

"In terms of our key position stocks, we think we are pretty strong. When Max King is out there and fit, we are a different team. We think a lot of our improvement will come from our young core group." - Lenny Hayes on where their improvement comes from.

Re: the developing prospect, given we punted Keeler (a year too late) - I’m amazed we didn’t use a late pick to snaffle Archie Ludowyke last year. The perfect, local Saints-loving low-cost option to train up. On established options, plenty were about. What’s wrong with us? 😬

Fair question. My tone has changed. I didn’t agree with the change in direction last year. I nearly died when Gubby said “We’ve got lots of cash” - we immediately lost all bargaining power, pissed off existing players. That comment was so naive. We looked so out of touch.

What has happened to change your tone, Mr. Saint? Keen to understand your perspective.

We had a player who loved St Kilda and who we desperately needed - Ben King - but we couldn’t financially compete for him because we overpaid on other deals (TDK + Phillipou + Flanders + Macrae = $4.5m). We didn’t even make an offer this year. Why? Because we couldn’t afford it.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand their strategy. I wanted it to work. But as somebody who has been in the industry for so long, I know exactly why they’ve changed so suddenly They’re not ‘bad’ people. I just disagree with their approach to building a winning club (and culture).
