Not the best time in  the history of Australin football to rebuild

Actually its much better than when Dimma arrived he had to deal with 3 compromised drafts

St Kilda has to deal with a few more remaining compromised drafts due to the priority picks GWS and GC had and traded but its still much better than 3 years ago.

Given they have Chris Pelchen from the Hawks and he did it well at the Hawks, I support their draft strategy to trade what you've got for picks, bottom out next year and build from the bottom.  You don't have to do it that way but its a great way to get a Hodge.  3 inside 20 this year and Billy Longer and 2 more next year, they won 5 games this year so no priority pick but hey 6 good kids potentially 8 if they get their picks inside 40 right and they have the core of a team.

The media mentioned tonight that there's talk of Robert Harvey replacing Watters as senior coach with Danny Frawley (yep Spud himself) as his mentor in the role of head of coaching at St Kilda.

:rollin

And it just gets worse for the Saints ...

"St Kilda have lost a major sponsor in Centrebet. Pulled up stumps a year early."

Their admin has always seemed poo, the move to Seaford was not popular, the stuff up with the pokies at the Junction Oval seemed a bit amateur. 

I can't see Harvey as a good coach myself, not hard enough but you never know he would have the respect of the players.

St kikda only has to contest with the two expansion sides now set up, ready to peak in the next 3-8 years

My theory is a cop high up is a Stkilda fan

Was it coincidence the rat was charged with rape only after the premiership window closed
