This week our little podcast's 'St Kilda games played' total soared past 9000 GAMES with 6000+ GOALS kicked for the Saints!

Not bad for something we started by recording a phone call just about six years ago...

Thank you to the #SaintsFooty community for all your support!

[St Kilda FC @stkildafc]

St Kilda Football Club has officially added experienced forward Jake Stringer to its list following the opening of the AFL Delisted Free Agency Period.

We look forward to Jake pulling on the red, white and black when pre-season training resumes later this month.

Round 1 🔒

[St Kilda FC @stkildafc]

We’ll kick off our 2027 season with a Round 1 home MCG blockbuster against Collingwood on Saturday 20 March.

@Hepp86 We'd love to mate - scheduling and coordination has been the issue recently. We have 7 kids between the three of us, including a 2yo, a 1yo and a newborn.

Has been a tough run!

Roadtrip, anyone?!

We'll take on Geelong in Gather Round 2027 🍷

Saints set to receive The Package 📦

[Unpluggered Podcast 🔴⚪⚫ @unpluggered]

Well well well....

[Sam Edmund @Sammy__Edmund]

Jake Stringer is poised to join St Kilda with an announcement to come as early as tomorrow.
The Saints will be Jake’s fourth club, but after kicking 48 goals this year and with the Saints crying out for firepower, he’s set to move to Moorabbin.
Saints GM of footy Lenny Hayes said three days ago there had been no discussions about Stringer, but clearly things have moved quickly. @1116sen

He makes a good point

[Barry Breen @barry_breen]

Whether you disagree or agree with the trade result for ST K that is up to you.
What I would like to see is the media cease death riding St K. Lyon, Nas, King, Marshall, Hall and any other negative they can conjure up. We are not perfect far from it but give it a rest will you.

We have a ruck coach.

@nicksplitter @stkildafc @zerohanger @Darren_Parkin @VAMH26 Browny ❤️

[Nick Splitter @nicksplitter]

Nobody in @stkildafc circles has a bad word to say about Tony Brown.

It's such a cliche but he legitimately might the nicest person in football.

It's been an absolute pleasure chatting with Tony for @unpluggered and @zerohanger over the years, he leaves incredibly large shoes to fill at Moorabbin.

Wishing you all the best in your next adventure 'Browny'.

Look after him, @westernbulldogs 🙏

[Nick Splitter @nicksplitter]

Could @stkildafc end up with both Sam Gayfer and Tyson Bradley in the 2026 #AFLDraft?

Keen to hear what @JontyRalphsmith and @MitchKeat think with the Saints holding (currently) #10 & #16.

Having traded for young Sam Marshall who hopefully holds down a midfield spot for the next decade, could St Kilda draft two bookends for the next decade too?

The last time we did that we ended up with Paddy McCartin and Hugh Goddard...

[Unpluggered Podcast 🔴⚪⚫ @unpluggered]

Sam Marshall and Pick 39 will be traded to St Kilda for a future first-round pick.

[Tom Morris @tommorris32]

St Kilda has indicated it is prepared to offer three first round picks for Nick Blakey.

The Saints have 8, 14 and 2027 + 2028 F1s at their disposal. They met with Blakey last night.

Even if @NMFCOfficial is Blakey's preference, Sydney will try and push him to the club offering the best trade.

TRADE CONFIRMED

"While we respected Rowan’s desire for a fresh environment, it was important the club received adequate compensation for someone who’s played at a consistently high level over the course of the past decade." - Lenny Hayes, GM of Football

St Kilda get: Pick #14
Geelong get: Rowan Marshall, Future 3rd round pick

[Nick Splitter @nicksplitter]

St Kilda get: Pick #14
Geelong get: Rowan Marshall, future 3rd rounder

Yesterday:
"#14 for Marshall and a later pick swap or extra pick probably gets it done, unless Geelong can come up with a pick around #20."
