Unpluggered

The Saints put on a couple of patches of blistering football to put away the Hawks in our best offense performance of 2023 to date and we now look ahead to one of our most hated rivals in Carlton with some BIG names to potentially return.

He's back! Jack Steele finally looked like Jack Steele again, as our skipper delivered a captain's performance to navigate the Saints through another very (VERY!) frustrating win over the Kangaroos. Cal Wilkie was calm and composed, but it was the move of Rowan Marshall forward in the last quarter that really proved the turning point. This week we're joined by Michael Egan in place of Darren Parki...

He played 62 games for St Kilda with a few very memorable moments including THE moment of the 'drought-breaking' 1996 Ansett Cup Final. Thanks to Jason Traianidis for taking some time this week for a chat. Technical issues have delayed the review/preview segments of this week's episode but we hope to have them to you soon.

It was our best performance for maybe two months, despite the loss. We couldn't fault the effort but there are some things we can improve. With Darren Parkin off this week, Philip Dalidakis joins us to dissect Rowan Marshall's immense display, and the improvement of Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera as the Saints head into some very winnable games starting with the Gold Coast Suns this weekend. Please remem...

An ugly loss to the Lions reminded us we're still a way off the AFL's Top-4, but it was the passing this week of former St Kilda FC assistant coach Matt Rendell that really gives some perspective. 'Bundy' had a great impact on many footballers, including our guest this week, 15-game Saint, Allan Murray.

Was it pretty? No, but we "did what we had to do" to beat the Giants in Sydney and move to 7-3 on the season. With one game to go until a well-needed break, we take a look at a matchup against a young Hawthorn team off the back of a massive win, plus we're joined by 1990s St Kilda fan favourite who went on to even bigger and better things at his second club, Matthew 'Skinny' Lappin. Please remembe...

Max is back! But is there another returning Saint who might be pivotal to the structure?

It was an ugly game of footy but we walked away with a very important four points as we bested the Roos at Marvel. We take a look ahead to our first real interstate game of the year, heading to Adelaide for the Crows on Mothers Day. Will Max King return? We're joined by six-goal-birthday-hero, Daniel Healy, to chat through his St Kilda FC career and how he dealt with the club's transition period t...

It was a disappointing loss at home to our bogey side of recent years, and yet it doesn't feel like the sky is falling in. There's plenty of positives to take into our next clash against the struggling Kangaroos, and we dissect it all with the help of actor, writer and 2 Guys 1 Cup podcast host Charlie Clausen, filling in for Aaron McGrath this week. Plus we're joined by 76-game Saint, Kain Taylor...

5-1 and still top of the ladder!

Upheaval, injury, negativity, craziness... That's so St Kilda. And once again we find ourselves with a new (old) coach and some new (old) faces heading into a new AFL season. But surely it's not all negative? With challenge comes opportunity. Let's talk about it.

Well, it's taken a little longer but it's been one heck of a few weeks down at Moorabbin. We're finally back for Unpluggered's 2022 Season Review as we look ahead to Ross Lyon's comeback at the St Kilda Football Club in 2023.

A bizarre week. After re-signing coach Brett Ratten to a two-year extension mid-year we would have put our house on him being the man to lead the St Kilda Football Club into 2023. As we all know, Ratts' tenure at the club ended abruptly as he was removed from his position last week. But why? What happened? What's next? What does it mean? We take a look.

It's been a while but we catch up to talk through some of the rumours and chat about the upcoming trade period, plus the state of St Kilda FC's list and where we need to improve. Full season review is coming soon!
