Windy...We need guys to come out of nowhere to become A graders. It can’t just be first round picks all the time, we need someone to do a Jack Steven or Chad Warner. Something like that completely changes our outlook.

A Jack Sinclair maybe.We need guys to come out of nowhere to become A graders. It can’t just be first round picks all the time, we need someone to do a Jack Steven or Chad Warner. Something like that completely changes our outlook.
I was thinking midfielders and ideally someone younger. Bytel, Byrnes, somebody like that would be nice for once.A Jack Sinclair maybe.
Mitchito dosent get mentioned in the same light as windy but he's got a higher ceiling imoWindy...
Yes, thats correctPeople keep thinking that Goddard is running development.
Carrol is.
As far as i can see Goddard has replaced Jacobs , who had no coaching experience prior to this year.
Like Owen’s and Windy getting picked in the 30s and 40s?We need guys to come out of nowhere to become A graders. It can’t just be first round picks all the time, we need someone to do a Jack Steven or Chad Warner. Something like that completely changes our outlook.

I still look to coniglio in the doco being made captain and wanting it but his game suffering under the pressure. I know Steele is playing well but I don’t know if he’s the most captaincy suited guy on the team other than his looks and physical skill.This could be an unpopular opinion, but I want Wilkie to be Captain next year. Love Steeley and he was the right decision 2 years ago, but Wilks has really stepped up and become that real vocal leader. think he could be similar to a Tom Harley/Nick Maxwell type captain.
Hopefully it takes the pressure off Steeley and he can focus more on his footy.
Either that or they become joint captains. Wouldn’t mind that either.
Windhager exceeded expectations last season and had a great second half of the year. Owens has more tricks in his armory and is probably the more skilled of the two. Like you said he's got a higher ceiling. It's great to have the two of them. I can see Windhager being the more reliable conveyance every week but Owens the more likely match winner.Mitchito dosent get mentioned in the same light as windy but he's got a higher ceiling imo

I think NWM is harder to judge at this stage. Think we'll get a better read on him as he develops physically

Difficult when there there are so many injuriesI would also say that we need to revolutionise the way we use Sandringham. This isn't one of Ross's traditional strengths so I'm hoping Geoff Walsh's replacement is really strong here.
We absolutely need to prioritise development of Saints players but also being as competitive as can be in the VFL. Those two ideas can be compatible, and i hope Jake Batchelor's fine work can be better sypported by both St Kilda and Sandringham.

Is this Batchelor's third year coaching Sandy? Having that consistency will do us some favours I'm sure. Seemed the Sandy coaching position was used like Grant Thomas's rotating captaincy policy in the past. Batch seems a pretty good coach and there was some real improvement from Sandy last season. Without injuries, Sandy's best 22 looks really bloody good.I would also say that we need to revolutionise the way we use Sandringham.

Best feed back and insight the club has ever put outGoddard also involved under Batch this year i think.
From a supporter point of view I love Batchelor's reports. We got very little official feedback in the past.
