    Thank you...st.kilda

    Thank you for drafting Jack Billings and not Marcus Bontempell

    Thank you for drafting Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield and not Aaron Naughton

    Thank you for trading Josh Bruce for picks 32 and 52

    Thank you for Nathan Burke who is leading our AFLW team so admirably

    Thank you for Ameet Baines our CEO

    Biggest thanks for all, thank you for Luke Beveridge who was destined for a "director of coaching role" until Luke Darcy came a knocking... as they say, the rest is history.

    Keeping with the above theme which other clubs should we be thanking as we march towards another Grand Final appearance?

    Collingwood - thank you for giving us Treloar, a points surplus to match the JUH bid, and $300k pa for our salary cap for five years.

    Kerry Packer once sold Channel 9 to Alan Bond for $1.3bn, then bought it back a few years later for $300m. He said "you only ever get one Alan Bond in your lifetime" and Collingwood is our Alan Bond.

    Thanks for Adelaide for cheating in the 2015 finals, potentially galvanising the team into the fortress we are now.

    Thanks to North Melbourne for deciding to stake their future on Tasmania, rather than Ballarat. Now we get have a strong home away from home an hour down the road twice a year and financially benefit at the same time.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    This years grand final must be eating st kilda fans alive.

    It’ll feature current stars of the game in Bont, Naughton and Petracca. All could be playing on the same list. And we are so lucky to have the best two of the 3 playing for us. So yeah thanks saints.

    Thank you Richmond for somehow managing to win three of four premierships and still have actually no one respect you at all. Now the whole country is clamouring for a real champion team to emerge.

    It’s weird how a team can win 3 of 4 premierships but still be regarded as any other premier rather than a dynasty ala Brisbane and hawthorn. I wonder why.

    Thanks to the AFL for keeping the NGA in place just long enough for us to secure Marra and also inexplicably reverting back to the old rules where you could use unlimited picks to match a bid. That was like a double whammy.

    Thank you past players for breeding so well.
    Despite getting the number 1 last year and playing a Grand Final this year, we will still get Sam Darcy this year who is touted as a top 3 kid.

    That's with Lachie Hunter and Tom Liberatore playing in the GF, Zaine Cordy a chance, and VC Wally cheering the boys on.

    Alright enough of thanking others! F**k everyone else! We did it ourselves with our backs against the wall with everyone wanting us to lose or fabricating excuses for our wins! Thank you Luke Beveridge and all the staff and playing group!

    Thank you Brisbane for taking Marcus Adams off our hands and taking a bargain trade for Josh Schache.

    Thanks too to the Essendon Jabbers for providing a worthy target for the venting of our spleens throughout the season.
    And especially, despite all the hype and balderdash, going down like pricked (or jabbed?) balloons in the Elimination Final; what a bonus!
