Nasiah 👑

@VeryNeilP @Thomo_Grant Clark is already playing limited time in the AFL. If you can only limit so many players minutes, you’re taking Max in over Hunter. 100% AFL this week

@Thomo_Grant an opinion please? Max King. VFL or limited time in AFL. I don’t think it’s ok to say ‘it’s only West Coast’ that disrespects the opposition

@Stavr04 @timrosen35 How’d he look?

@timrosen35 He did.

Anyone at training today? I need to know he made it through!

@alkaiuf_ Tom Morris just said he’s more unlikely to play at all this week

My favourite injury update of all time

@jaycee0202 @Bitey_26 So they spent within the exact same salary cap like every single AFL club is allowed to?

@Bitey_26 You spent over $6m on 5 players. Thats why you should have improved.

I dont agree with how Ross handles things sometimes, but this and Kane trying to argue against Ross regarding st kilda having improved comparing 2025 stats to a short span of 2026 when we have played the 2nd hardest draw is laughable. Stats around the bye rounds would be relevant

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 Fincher is a mid/fwd Tauru is a key defender otherwise we could start including SOS and Wilkie in that list and just make it defenders. King, Keeler, Hayes, Caminiti, Allison - they’ve tried but haven’t found one with the promise of King (why is why high picks are crucial)

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 Where did I say we are drafting half backs all the time with our 1st rd picks? While we’re at it tho,recent players we’ve picked up (draft/trade/SPP) that are Hans: Fincher,Travaglia, Tauru, Carroll, Stocker, Hastie, Nas, LOC Not including Windy who we’ve turned into half back

Ross talks a lot of nonsense but to say we haven't improved is laughable. Could easily be 5 and 1 and Adelaide smoked us by 10 goals in adelaide last year. Couple easy fixtures coming up should get us back in the mix

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 I never said there were no issues? You said we need to draft for a need and that’s what we did when we drafted McCartin over Petracca. You’re telling me we’re drafting half backs all the time but I seem to think 3 of our last 4 first round picks were not half backs… funny that

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 Bottom 6 for all transition stats Rebound 50/Defensive half to Inside 50/Score No issues tho. Max will save us

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 I have no idea what you mean. Apparently the club is drafting half backs left and right but we are up shit creek there. It’s almost like that is just not the case

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 No need to be a smart ass. You know what exactly what I mean - we’re robbing Peter to pay Paul

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 So now we’re up shit creek on half back but all we’ve been doing is drafting half backs? Which one is it?

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 Not at all. You’re making the assumption everything is fine. Nas in the mids, with Sinclair now leaves us up shit creek off half back. Neither are elite mids - they pinch hit, hence the need for actual mids and why we are still an ordinary as fuck team

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 Okay I’ll play your game. In 2021 we were set at half back with Clark coming through and Sinclair announcing himself as a star there. We badly needed a mid at the time, with pick 11 we could have drafted Josh Sinn as a mid, instead went with half back Nasiah. Stupid game right?

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 Like drafting Travaglia (a half back) instead of an actual midfielder, then spending the last 2 preseasons trying to turn him into a midfielder … when Xavier Lindsay and Murphy Reid were right there We have Max King and no one else as a key forward - utter stupidity

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 Jeez that says all you need to know 🤣

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 Nothing wrong with the McCartin pick. How were we to know he’d cop 11 concussions in 3 yrs!? Bloke was a gun

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 Yeah because drafting a need rather than the best talent available has done us so well in the past. Short memory clearly - Alan Richardson overruled the list management team on Petracca, and we ended up pivoting to McCartin - because we needed a Riewoldt replacement. Smart

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 I dunno, maybe draft at least one other key forward prospect at some point instead of the 40 half back flankers we’ve picked up in the last 15 years Literally allergic to drafting in positions we ACTUALLY need to fill

@timrosen35 Did you see something? I’m so happy for him and us, very excited to see what he can become with a clean run at it

👑😍 God I hope this begins a pathway to some serious receipt hunting! Anyway, for now I’m just so excited for him. Worked his ass off. Deserves this. 668 days! 2 training sessions to go 🤞

@alkaiuf_ He won’t play VFL. Manages minutes at Marvel on Sunday

The coaches will have a decision to make re: Max King this weekend All signs point toward a VFL return I'm very scared. Those defenders aren't trained to defend 200cm forwards and could easily pop one of his shoulders...again Honestly would rather 40% at AFL to avoid the risk

@84476Rhys @Rorsroars @Ruga1993 Who said Max would be better than ever? Are you talking to yourself?

@FlagKilda @Rorsroars @Ruga1993 You’ll kick more points having max king then you also have 2 underperforming rucks. Your assumption that he’s going to be better than ever after a huge layoff is amusing. Bloke doesn’t even average 2 goals a game

@Rorsroars @Ruga1993 Name another key forward who has the talent and is available for us to go and get then. They don’t grow on trees and are incredibly hard to find

@FlagKilda @Ruga1993 Which means our list management is a fucking debacle if all our hopes rely on a bloke who hasn’t played for 18months and hasn’t even been in the main group for training for the same period 🤷🏻‍♂️

@buggerlugs___ @MWL152 Darcy ACL 🤣🤣🤣

@FlagKilda @MWL152 Your insults are as shit as your footy team 😂💀

Boycotting would be very funny because it has absolutely no effect on Ross, the pressers are purely for the journos

@AlexJDonnelly @FootyEgg Who cares? They’ll win the flag

@FootyEgg This wasn’t meant to be negative or positive on the lions, I think you’re just going. It was more aimed at how lazy the “they’re so back” rhetoric was after beating 2 teams who they were 30 points favourite against.

Deep analysis at round 6 give me a fucking break. Close loss to the doggies, close loss to Melbourne at the MCG, one blowout against Sydney.

@buggerlugs___ @MWL152 Here you are again 🤣🤣🤣 get off saints twitter you fat nerd

@MWL152 No effect? So instead of going to the presser, journos should just write about another saints loss, their win/loss record and their disastrous trading then? Or Ross could grow up, be more respectful, and discuss how saints have actually improved in a less condescending way?

@buggerlugs___ @saintstvpod Darcy has a torn ACL suck them apples 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Awfully lippy for a supporter of a club with the most pathetic history of any aren’t ya 😂 Darcy will be fine. Max ‘fairy floss’ King on the other hand is cooked. 23 games in 3.5 seasons oof - what’s he on again $1m? Another Silvagni masterclass in how to butcher a list 😂. And you know the funniest part of it all, you saints supporters are too retarded to see that you just set your club back another decade with last years trade period.
