How quickly things change! A devastating change of pace from the Saints who strangled the Dockers in the first half before putting pedal to the metal in the second to dominate from start to finish. Hugo Garcia bounced back from a controversial week to a Rising Star nomination, while Ross Lyon delivered a rare win against the AFL with "exceptional circumstances" proving pivotal in the Alix Tauru case.Plenty to chat about in this one ahead of Spud's Game at the MCG.Please remember to rate and review

2025/04/29

Another disappointing result against the reigning premiers, but not for a lack of effort this week as the developing Saints were simply outclassed by a better team. But, as we say, it's never as good, or as bad, as it seems. Still some positives to reflect on!A heap of talking points in this one: Hugo Garcia subbed before half time, Alix Tauru's VFL suspension, testy Ross and much more.

2025/04/23

In this episode, Darren and Nick analyse a "bitterly disappointing" defeat, discussing the St Kilda Football Club's "putrid" and "pathetic" performance, and the need for improvement. We reflect on the fans' emotional reactions to the performance, the lacking impact of some senior players, and the challenges that lie ahead for a young and inexperienced team.This week's episode is brought to you by Ticketverse: Get premium seats at Marvel Stadium's Medallion Club for St Kilda games, with exclusive

2025/04/18

Heath Black played just 54-games with the St Kilda Football Club, but was involved in a period of immense growth, arriving at the club in 2002 after five seasons at Fremantle. Black played a major role in the development of the squad, with an appearance in the 2004 Preliminary Final loss to Port Adelaide - one that he says still stings - before moving back to Fremantle ahead of the 2005 season sue to family reasons.Having worked for the AFL and now in local football since retirement following the

7.9: Pessimistic or Optimistic?

2025/04/17

Not the Gather Round performance we were after but plenty of positives to take after competing (for the most part) with one of the best sides in it. A reality check of sorts, but not a particularly harsh one. We're 3-2 after five games - including three in Adelaide - and we probably all would have taken that heading into Round 1. Darren takes aim at his fellow media professionals and we're joined by Moorabbin Wing veteran Michael Egan, who gets subbed on in place of Nick Splitter (kids) this week.We

The curse has been lifted! We called for it last week and the boys duly delivered a much overdue away win over Port Adelaide. A strong start - and a strong heart late - was needed in what really was a whole team performance.We take a look at our Gather Round game - our third Adelaide match in the first five weeks - and a bunch of big news around the Saints, including another Max King injury setback, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera's potential contract re-signing, and the decades-long reparations finally

2025/04/03

One of the St Kilda Football Club's best recruits in recent years was BRAD CROUCH. Despite suffering from a degenerative knee injury in the later stages of his career - which ultimaely forced his retirement at the end of 2024 - in Brad's 66-games for the Saints he averaged 26.7 disposals, 11.6 contested possessions, 6.1 tackles and 5.4 clearances. He amassed 20 or more disposals in 59 of his St Kilda appearances, and earned 33 Brownlow votes in that period.He discusses his move from the Crows to the

2025/04/02

It was the biggest win in a decade for the St Kilda Football Club, as the floodgates opened in the second half against Richmond at Marvel Stadium. It was the Jack Sinclair show, the All Australian half back had a career night with the ball on a string, while Rowan Marshall controlled the midfield, and Mitch Owens destroyed the Tigers defensive unit.Please remember to rate and review our show on whatever platform you're most comfortable with (iTunes, Facebook, Spotify etc), and always give us your

Some might call it "the greatest upset people have ever seen," but we'll just call it #SaintsFooty. The St Kilda Football Club dominated Geelong in Round 2, playing clean, fast, proactive footy. While the young lads Saints at the end, the Cats could never quite hit parity in their comeback, with the men from Moorabbin deserved victors by 7 points. Next up, a potential banana-peel game against Richmond, in the final-ever Maddie's Match.This week's episode is brought to you by Ticketverse: Get premium
