Re: St Kilda
Sometimes a crisis creates opportunities
12 months earlier we backed Tom Boyd to play two key roles for us in 2019 (key forward and 2nd ruckman) knowing full well of his mental health challenges and the fact that his 2018 season was curtailed by a back injury and that didn't eventuate. We were lucky we sent a 19yo forward at late notice in a JLT game even though he worked with the defenders all summer and it ended up working out exceptionally well for us.
My biggest bugbear is that many clubs just don't plan for injuries or the loss of players even when they are clearly struggling.
The Saints at least now have some time to review their list
