couldnt have happended to a nicer bloke.

This is why the Bombers have 16 flags and the Saints have one.

Master stroke by Knighter and if anyone thinks he is not the right man for the Bombers coaching gig they are kidding themselves.

Saints will never win a flag in our life time with those pathetic top ups

And this from a club that rejected Cousins 12 months earlier using the excuse they were concerned about bringing in a bad apple  . Meanwhile Cuz has turned his life around since coming to Richmond.

Matty Knights must be breathing a sigh of relief every day.

i would say this.

If Lyon does not win a flag by end of 2011 he will be sent packing like many before him.

What he has done to that club since end of Sep was a big risk one which i think will lose him his job.

You cant be serious bringing this loser into the club who may i add is far worse of a fool than Fev then letting a club captain like Ball go for nothing.

What a joke of a club but then again it is Stkilda, what more did we expect??

Yep Lyon has seen their window is closing (the Saints have been up since 2004) and has topped up chasing a flag. With so many of their best players now in their late 20s and even 30+ by the start of next season (King, Gardiner, Hayes, Milne, Baker) and by the look of it with not much quality youth coming in to replace them, it's now or never for the St Kilda. GC17's massive concessions and draft picks will make it very hard for current top clubs with little youth coming through to replenish their stocks. St Kilda appears to be one of those clubs approaching a cliff-edge. If they win a flag then their supporters won't care; but if they don't Linton St will implode lol.

Interesting that King and Gardiner are still there, mail is that either one or both were going to get the flick early in August.

They were after another ruckman during the trade/draft period and all they could find was Patto. I thought the rumour going around was either King or Gardiner was struggling big time with some injury? A knee? I know Lyon said oddly they wanted to cover the scenario of both older ruckmen going down leaving Kosi and young McEvoy to carry the ruck workload.

They offered Simmo a 2 year contract, he said no

Lovett another well bred rabbid Australian

what an idiot Lovett is. Cousins was banned for a year for "bringing the game into disrepute", when at least he was open about it and tried to do something about it. how Lovett has escaped being banned from playing football is beyond me!
