No doubt it totally sucks :cry: Hubbie suggested it was time I put away the newspapers that have been sitting on the bench since the GF. So I went to shove them in the "paper draw", but it was shocker. So tonight has been a "cleansing" of sorts for me. Papers from 2004, 2005, et...

Im flat as a pancake carnt believe we didnt win that game . I really want to be positive & I realise we are a good side & we will be competetive again next season but to be in that position & lose still makes me cry :cry: But with the help of you boys & girls & the dream of seein...

I love Luke Ball but its time fore him to move on . He has made the tough decision to go & hes a proud person so he wont be looking back now.

in fact Ross said he was "likely" listen for yourselves: http://sportal.com.au/default.aspx/mediaplayer/audio/AFL/ross-lyon-on-the-failed-luke-ball-trade-6576 but all for being simplistic the papers report The casualties are many, but none more so than St Kilda's Grand Final player Luke B...

I think we are the ones that have been shafted. If luke goes in the PSD, we get nothing. To not give Luke to Collingwood for next to nothing is so much better than giving him to Melbourne or Richmonnd etc for nothing.Dont get me wrong im as disapointed as anyone that we didnt get a decent trade but...

After hearing that statement, even if he had any second thoughts they would have vanished instantly.There is no way he will play for St.kilda so lets look to the future & St.kilda flag in 2010 :) (thats the first smile ive raised in 2 weeks I guess the healing process is starting to take hold) ...

The CLUB is bigger than The Individual.

As much as I wanted Luke to stay this quote says it all.We support the St.kilda football club & Luke has chosen not to be part of it so the rest is history.

There is not a snowmans chance in hell that Luke Ball will play for St.Kilda ever again.I would like to thank him for his years of loyal service but now he has chosen to leave a home that wanted him :cry: He is no longer a sainter & the quicker we all get over it & move on , the better it wi...

Are we going to self destruct again or is this just a bloke who needs a fresh start & I'm reading too much into it :cry: This is a joke right? Fair Dinkum some player who has never shown his potential wants a trade and we are going to "self destruct" :roll: :roll: FFS get a grip. Get ...

Feeling your pain saintbrat

Wasnt going to post but due to the extreamly disapointing nature of the post I just had to say something.The gf loss has already shreaded every bit of compassion & care factor out of me but this is nearly as bad . WTF? Luke Ball going to Collingwood.We didnt need this , he was a saint through &a...

Dont know any of you personally but you have all touched my life over the last few years.Sometimes we agree, sometimes we dont but we have that common thread that unites us even in a moment of absoloute tragedy like Saturday.To read your pain,optimism, & love for the club has helped me cope with...

I dont think it will happen & as much as that injection of speed would help Essendon wouldnt go for it .I'm happy to give Matty another year if hes willing to stay but at the moment i'm still hurting too much to even contemplate trades

whilst it is obvious the planning will give us the best chance to have another crack it is NO GUARANTEE in 2010............. Thats why it still hurts so much from Saturday we did not seize the chance How long before the next one?? At this stage it is bitter disappointment lets hope it is not pure d...

Granted they are a good side but they outplayed us for 1 quarter , we outplayed them for 3 quarters. We didnt nail our opportunities & ran out of legs in last 10 minutes.If we had of nailed even 2 of those many chances imo we would have won.If you look at the final score line they were the bette...

Three players I was worried about pre game....Ablett, Stevie J and Chappy. Ablett kept to 25 possies, 1 goal by Jones who stuck to him like sh!t to a blanket. Jones goal before half time gave Gazza something to think about. CJ had 15 possies, 1 goal himself to be one of our best. Stevie J was destr...

Stuff the theories -we lost and it wasn't just bad kicking for goal as that was only one of many reasons. A few of our players have no overdrive gear and it was needed in the last quarter..you could see the Cats just willing themselves a bit harder, which in a close game makes a big difference. I t...

You must make the most of every opportunity your given.Geelong did it last year & we did it this year.We should have been 4 goals up at half time & in a very tight game could have been enough.We made some poor decisions at critical times & that was enough to keep them in the hunt & u...

97 I thought we were odds on to win. It never really crossed my mind that we wouldnt.On Saturday I tryed to stay possitive but at the back of my mind I really thought they would probably win.When we lead at 3/4 time I thought that the adlenline would take over & we could hold on but it was the o...

Personally shattered but to see the possitiveness on this site has really given me a lift thank you boys & girls I hope I can repay you next year

You have been an out & out champion of the St.Kilda football club. I love you like a brother. All the best in what ever your future plans hold

Big call I know but imo( which I stated at the time) if we had bit the bullet & picked up Cousins we would be Premiers .A long bow I know but that's imo

I apologise for any disrespect that my post caused. I am really finding it tough so please fogrive me for my short sightedness . A St.kilda flag is my passion in life & has been since I was born & to get so close but fail has clouded my judgement. :cry: Understood and forgiven...we will ris...
