DOWNLOAD Unlike some, I'm not prepared to write them off totally yet. I think even the best sides now are perhaps more prone to some particularly bad days, albeit not the four stinkers the Saints have turned in thus far. But there is a disturbing similarity starting to emerge for St Kilda, and it's with the Brisbane team which made finals in 2009. They promptly loaded up on senior trade-ins from other clubs, only to nosedive into a mediocrity from which it didn't emerge for nearly a decade.

However, Kane Cornes is concerned about what the future holds for the Hawks and he can see them heading down the same path as North Melbourne.
