St Kilda’s budget: Acquire difference-making A-grade talent

2022-10-01T13:30+10:00

Every club has a wishlist but every club also has a budget.

But not many out there know exactly what is on said list or exactly what each club has up their sleeve to spend.

Josh Jenkins has given each of the 18 clubs a round $1 million figure to spend THIS trade period on a player or players they require.

This is a hypothetical look at what a club needs, but ensuring the players in question are somewhat gettable and the deals are not fanciful.

It is what Jenkins thinks is needed and how the clubs in question should spend their $1m.

Next up is St Kilda who according to Jenkins need some quality.

St Kilda’s budget – Grab an A-grader

Jenkins has urged the Saints to find a big fish, but cannot quite identify who.

“Acquire A-grade talent,” he said on AFL Trade Radio’s Trade Mornings.

“Go and get the best player you can get. You need it to be a fit and you need to identify and be able to foresee a way that the player fits within your side and the way you want to play.

“They need more top-end talent. If you were to talk about top-10 players at their position, Max King is probably in there for mine. Callum Wilkie, Jack Steele and Jack Sinclair also.

“To me, they don’t have enough top-end, difference-making, A-grade talent.

“It’s hard to identify someone for them and that’s the challenge. And that is the challenge, take on the challenge and go and find someone who you can attract to your footy club.

“They made some strides with Jordan De Goey, but ultimately he picks Collingwood and remains where ehe is.

“So, onto the next one.

“Also, keep Hunter Clark. That would be the other element as well. Don’t let Hunter Clark walk out the door.”
