St Kilda's list struggles hinder team’s progress in AFLW
Summary

St Kilda's difficulties in building a competitive list since joining the AFLW in 2020 have persisted. The team has faced challenges attracting players, partly due to a lack of the 'big club factor' and losing access to high draft picks. Additionally, high player turnover has led to a reliance on drafting rather than retaining talent. As the Saints continue to search for solutions, questions remain about how to stabilize the roster and improve performance. They are one of the teams yet to win this season.
