How many more years before St Kilda win another flag?

Question

Everyone got carried away because they won the pre-season NAB Cup! Haaaa......One knows that if you win that one - you don't win the big one.

Even Carlton won a NAB Cup recently - that shows how easy they are to win. They are won by the teams sporting their strongest sides. Only Adelaide & the Saints did that this year.

Now the team is top heavy with tall forwards, old players & midfielders running around picking up easy stats - without being damaging or beneficial to their side.

Answer 1

Another 10 years :)

Answer 2

10 years at least.

What have they won so far - one flag?

It will take them a while to build up their playing stocks to get where they can win another flag. They have a couple of players running around (very slowly!) who are too old for today's game. They have a couple of forwards who aren't as good as St Kilda claim. They have an ordinary backline. And to top it off they have a couple of discarded ruckmen (Gardiner & King) trying to match it with the young guys.

Who is in charge of recruiting at that club??

Answer 3

i would expect them to win it in the next 5 years

Answer 4

100 years.

How many have they won so far?     One!

And that was by a point or so. They just ain't got the know how.

Answer 5

Well I don't know the exact answer to your question but all of your comments are spot on re St.Kilda.  I do know it won't be this year - not by a long shot!!!  (even a long shot by Nick doesn't often go through the big sticks!!!).  They seem a bit sluggish to me and seem to run out of gas.   I feel that with the talent they've had in that team over the last few years they have almost missed that window of opportunity for a fair dinkum run at the Premiership in September but you never know and this weekend has thrown up some "very interesting" results all round (like Carlton and Richmond etc)  St.Kilda get to play lots of games at the Dome and they should just about be masters of their Domain by now but they are not.  Robert Walls reckons they will emerge this year and be in the finals but he doesn't know what he is talking about.  They won their last Premiership in 1966 and I am stabbing a guess at let us say 2,066!!! (Well that might be a tad pessimistic??).  I also hate to say this but I think they should retire Harvey and I have my doubts re Gehrig and Milne.

Answer 6

when they dont have 3 tall forwards

Answer 7

The NAB cup is a just a glorified practice match, they are a waste of time, extend the season to playing every one twice.

st.kilda are overrated, had there chance, i think their time frame has passed, harvs, gr8 that is his, is just about gone, Gehrig, gone. riewoldt, can't kick and falls over at every marking contest, good midfield but you need more than that.

they wont make the granny, they will play finals, just!!!!!

Answer 8

Sadly I dont see them winning in the next 5 years...

Everyone knows that NAP Cup is no indication of how good a team is (Carlton has clearly shown us that!)

Answer 9

i think it is a long long time away, there time has past now

Answer 10

50 years.

Them and Fremantle Dockers both.
