MANY remember the 2010 AFL Grand Final between St Kilda and Collingwood as being the first draw since North Melbourne vs. Collingwood in 1977. But it is the story of Brendon Goddard’s Grand Final heroics and later his deflection to Essendon, which is an important tale. The 27 year old soared higher than any other
VETERAN St Kilda forward Justin Koschitzke will play for Sandringham again this week but doesn’t appear to be in the Saints’ immediate footy plans.

THE St Kilda Football Club has announced that they have re-signed team captain Nick Riewoldt, extending his contract through to the end of the 2014 season. “I am really pleased to get it all done and locked away,” Riewoldt said in an interview with the Herald Sun. “I was always signed up for 2013, but it’s

IN an active last half hour of trading the St Kilda Football Club have traded the 47th pick of the 2012 Draft for Trent Dennis-Lane from the Sydney Swans. Dennis-Lane, 24, is a talented small forward that joined the Swans as the 55th pick of the 2009 Draft. Known as TDL by Swans supporters, he has

BRENDON Goddard is set to make a move under the AFL’s new free agency rules, testing the market, picking his new “workplace” and negotiating directly with the Essendon Football Club after 10 years with St Kilda.

GEELONG midfielder Paul Chapman appears to have suffered another calf injury in the Cats 42-point win over St Kilda last night.

ST KILDA coach Scott Watters didn’t want to blame the umpires for a costly decision in the last 15 seconds of the match in its six-point loss to Collingwood at the MCG last night. Forward Stephen Milne was called for chopping the arms of Harry O’Brien, who flew for a gallant game-saving mark in defence.
AFTER the completion of the 2012 AFL season the league will be revolutionised by the introduction of free agency. For eligible players this will give them the ability to leave their current club, bypassing the draft and trade periods, and essentially pick their next employer themselves. For the AFL, this will be an unprecedented change. In the lead
IT’S been a good week for the Saints, soundly trouncing Essendon on Saturday night and now backing that up with youngster Arryn Siposs taking out the Round 15 NAB Rising Star nomination. Siposs, 19, had a big game against Essendon with 17 possessions, including six marks, and kicking two goals in St Kilda’s 71-point demolition of the highly
ST KILDA has announced that defender James Gwilt has signed a contract extension with the club. Gwilt, 25, was recovering from a season ending injury that occurred in Round 17 against West Coast last year and did not see the field in AFL action this year until Round 9 against Sydney. His return has been a big boost for the Saints defence where
ST KILDA defender James Gwilt could finally make his return from a knee injury against West Coast on Sunday with coach Scott Watters today ruling out Sam Fisher for the clash. Gwilt was one of the best with 18 disposals for Sandringham in the VFL on Sunday against the Northern Blues in his fourth VFL
AHMED Saad’s rapid rise in the game is a surprise to some in the footy world but definitely not to VFL followers. Saad was easily going to be a target of AFL clubs after just one game last season. His former coach at the Bullants Darren Harris said after that game: “If you go on

IN early March we posted a story reporting on the St Kilda Football Club’s preliminary discussions with the AFL about playing for premiership points on ANZAC Day in Wellington, New Zealand. Back then the club’s Chief Executive Officer, Michael Nettlefold, had said that “We plan to continue those discussions (with the AFL) over the coming months but
ST KILDA defender James Gwilt returned from a knee reconstruction in the VFL on the weekend, just eight months after the knee injury. It is likely he will need another two or three games for match fitness in the VFL before returning to the AFL ranks and VFL affiliate Sandringham has the bye this weekend.
SANDRINGHAM coach Simon McPhee is confident forward Beau Wilkes will get plenty of opportunities at the Saints. An emergency for tomorrow’s clash against Port Adelaide, Wilkes impresses last week with four goals against Box Hill. The former Eagle is a mature age recruit and adds a new dimension to the forward line for St Kilda. He will line
ST KILDA midfielder David Armitage impressed in the first VFL game of the season to put his name up for selection in the Saints’ season opener against Port Adelaide. Armitage was clearly the Saints best midfielder for Sandringham, where he netted 26 disposals ahead of the next best Saint Farren Ray, with 16 touches. “He’s
