Thank you...st.kilda

[azabob]

Thank you for drafting Jack Billings and not Marcus Bontempell

Thank you for drafting Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield and not Aaron Naughton

Thank you for trading Josh Bruce for picks 32 and 52

Thank you for Nathan Burke who is leading our AFLW team so admirably

Thank you for Ameet Baines our CEO

Biggest thanks for all, thank you for Luke Beveridge who was destined for a "director of coaching role" until Luke Darcy came a knocking... as they say, the rest is history.

Keeping with the above theme which other clubs should we be thanking as we march towards another Grand Final appearance?

[Mofra]

Collingwood - thank you for giving us Treloar, a points surplus to match the JUH bid, and $300k pa for our salary cap for five years.

Kerry Packer once sold Channel 9 to Alan Bond for $1.3bn, then bought it back a few years later for $300m. He said "you only ever get one Alan Bond in your lifetime" and Collingwood is our Alan Bond.

[Throughandthrough]

Thanks for Adelaide for cheating in the 2015 finals, potentially galvanising the team into the fortress we are now.

[comrade]

Thanks to North Melbourne for deciding to stake their future on Tasmania, rather than Ballarat. Now we get have a strong home away from home an hour down the road twice a year and financially benefit at the same time.

This years grand final must be eating st kilda fans alive.

It’ll feature current stars of the game in Bont, Naughton and Petracca. All could be playing on the same list. And we are so lucky to have the best two of the 3 playing for us. So yeah thanks saints.

[Happy Days]

Thank you Richmond for somehow managing to win three of four premierships and still have actually no one respect you at all. Now the whole country is clamouring for a real champion team to emerge.

[bornadog]

Thank you Carlton for kick starting Sam Powers career for us.

It’s weird how a team can win 3 of 4 premierships but still be regarded as any other premier rather than a dynasty ala Brisbane and hawthorn. I wonder why.

[comrade]

Thanks to the AFL for keeping the NGA in place just long enough for us to secure Marra and also inexplicably reverting back to the old rules where you could use unlimited picks to match a bid. That was like a double whammy.

[Mofra]

Thank you past players for breeding so well.
Despite getting the number 1 last year and playing a Grand Final this year, we will still get Sam Darcy this year who is touted as a top 3 kid.

That's with Lachie Hunter and Tom Liberatore playing in the GF, Zaine Cordy a chance, and VC Wally cheering the boys on.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Alright enough of thanking others! F**k everyone else! We did it ourselves with our backs against the wall with everyone wanting us to lose or fabricating excuses for our wins! Thank you Luke Beveridge and all the staff and playing group!

[josie]

What wonderful arsenic and schaudenfraude laced posts these are. Enjoyed reading each & every one of them. Woof woof.

[westdog54]

Thank you Brisbane for taking Marcus Adams off our hands and taking a bargain trade for Josh Schache.

[Insufficient Intent]

Thanks too to the Essendon Jabbers for providing a worthy target for the venting of our spleens throughout the season.
And especially, despite all the hype and balderdash, going down like pricked (or jabbed?) balloons in the Elimination Final; what a bonus!

[macca]

Thank you Brisbane for taking Marcus Adams off our hands and taking a bargain trade for Josh Schache.

Curious to know, Who has played more games ?

[Twodogs]

Curious to know, Who has played more games ?

Overall Adams has played 55 AFL games and Schache has played 64.

With Brisbane Adams has played 28 games in 3 seasons and with us Schache has played 37 games (for 48 goals) over 4 seasons.

thanks twoDogs.

so Schache is 10 games ( include granny) ahead, with 48 goals and into a Granny

What a great feeling being ahead in a trade.

Schache has so much more upside.

If he can fillout a bit more and take some of the angry pills that Young is showing in games, he could turn on beastmode and scare the crap out of oppositions. Bring it on GF day the Schache!

If I was buying shares in a player I would be buying them in Schache.

Thank you Adelaide for the angriest PE teacher around, Keath also goes ok as a key defender

[boydogs]

Thanks to Essendon for ballsing up the Dunkley trade and taking the toxic Stringer away

[Twodogs]

Thanks to Adelaide for the #1 draft pick last year.

And especially from Marra for the 10k investment account.

[bulldogtragic]

So do Saints fan root for us, keeping the longest premiership drought as Melbourne?

The only thin silver lining if we stunk it up, is that everyone pays attention to St Kilda as the longest premiership drought in VFL/AFL History.

[Ghost Dog]

Port Adelaide provided a beautiful stadium, a wonderful lovely ground upon which to crucify them. Not to mention the state's chief health officer providing us with some good quality motivation.

[GetDimmaBack]

Thank you David Smorgon and Peter Gordon, and all those who have sailed with them along the way, for 25 years spent turning this club from a basket case to one of the best run outfits in the game.

My saints mate is going for bulldogs based on this ;)

Yes absolutely. Multiple Saints fans I know definitely don’t want the Dees to win.

[comrade]

On the flip side, I know a few Saints fans that can't stand the idea of us winning another flag making us 3 TIMES as successful as them :D
