feel the same way, think im probably over reacting but it is how i feel.

[strauchanie]

We should all merge with each other and create a super team. We'd have 40 000 members the best facilities and players and win the next 5 flags.

[tezza1]

What I am angry about is how ONCE AGAIN there is the deafening silence from the Prez .

He might be an excellent corporate bigwig but as the face and leader of the
club he is a NON ENTITY.

Imagine if Collingwood was treated like Stkilda continually is ? Imagine the tantrum Mcguire would throw ? He might act like a child but people would understand the issue and he would keep it in the public eye if he felt his club was being unfairly dealt with . I used to hate Elliot but if he thought Carlton was being unfairly treated he would grab the bone between his teeth and not let go .

But there is poor ol Stkilda , they get shafted time and time again and slink back off to Moorabbin with barely a word . I would like a Prez who echoes how us rank and file feel . That we are sick of Dimwit , Anderson and their like continually making us pay the price when the interstates and others are treated with kid gloves .

This competition is far from a level playing field and its about time we said that in public !!!!!

[mischa]

Of course they want us out. Everybody knows that. They just want compliant, complacent ppl in charge who understand their way of thinking.
Demetriou & Anderson=scum

[redwhite&blackblood]

They Don't want us out! What Bully wants their prime victim to leave? They know they can bend us over and give it to us anyway they want and we will not have the gumption to do anything or defend ourselves. If we all left they would lose power over the league because the bigger stronger and more successful clubs would revolt their bully boy tactics.

We need a President and CEO who will stand up and show the AFL head honchos that we will not take a back seat anymore and be lead around like 5 year olds anymore. (Our current Pres and CEO are just part of a long line of St. Kilda officials that have been bent over by the AFL in the past.)

[Mr Magic]

Actually they cannot afford to kick us out as they would lose part of their TV Rights deal. They have to provide 8 games a week.

WHat they can do is make it almost impossible to succeed.

[Sainternist]

I'm still extremely bitter about Barry Hall getting to play in the 2005 GF.

You have a good point, AOK.

The Bakes incident should have been the straw to break the proverbial camel's back.

What's a good plan of attack?

Perhaps starting a movement for concerned fans of Victorian clubs for a little solidarity

[Saints Premiers 2008]

if we are so hated and the afl wants to get rid of us then how come north were the first idea and the only thus far for relocation?

[asiu]

in their 'customer survey' that was bandied around last year on the net ...

the question was asked .....what would cause you to stop being a member of the st kfc?

'not standing up to the afl ' ...was my reply

personally, i thought our 'easy' draw , interstate aways , friday night games and decent breaks was a reward from dimmi for rod doin the job on their mate grant

bending over for the afl .....s'pose its one way of try'n to jag a flag

only problem was , dimmi forgot to tell the umpires about the new state of play


i ummed and arred this year about paying my membership and social club , brought no one new into the fold as members .....but i know, if they sell kosi down the drain .....

that'll be it for me

i cant even get my head around bakes getting 7 ...ffs .....give me a break

[St Fidelius]

The AFL would be happy if we would pack up and join the VFL. I'ts painfully obvious. Dogs, Dee's and Nth Ditto.

Dogs... will never be competitive in this comp.
Dee's - no members
Nth - no members

Saints - the supporters will lie down and take what ever the AFL dishes out. Saints only won 1 flag, so there's not much history to worry about. 3 years and they'll be forgotton.

WC play a drug cheat for much of last year and win the Flag.
Another club has seen the way it works and has followed suit with a stunning run of wins.
Judd gouges eyes... no bigge.

Bakes is the point here and we should be very angry.

Good to see you posting Kenny...

I see your point, but are you blaming the saints supporters??

I do agree that there are sooo many double standards and it should be an equal playing field.....

That will NOT happen under the current AFL admin IMO

They only see the $$$$$ and not what is fair and equal....

It also will not happen under our own admin IMO...

They appear to be weak and inept and lack backbone IMO...

We cannot change the AFL admin, but we sure can change our current admin

yep.........they're gone.......

relocation isn't necessarily a bad thing, the advantages of being interstate are better than sharing Melb with 9 other clubs. The only question is whether Gold Coast is a viable market, i'm not so sure it is

Your the only one with a sensible answer. Why would they want the 4th biggest club in Melbourne out.

[joffaboy]

Well we will see if the AFl are serious about protecting the big clubs with the Rocca incident.

If he doesn't go for at least fourthe AFl is has completely lost credibility.

[plugger66]

Well we will see if the AFl are serious about protecting the big clubs with the Rocca incident.

Nothing in it at all IMO but people will say he gets off because he plays for the pies. Tell Pies suppoters that after Cloke nad Rocca in preliminary finals.

[saintspremiers]

nah, let him play....we barrack for Collingwood until 10.30pm next Friday (as well as St.Kilda of course) remember!

[aussierules0k]

[Iratedebate]

Worst result for us is if he accepts 1 week with an early plea, enabling him to play finals but miss the only game when a STK supporter wants the filth to succeed. Yep i can see that happening, we will get screwed again

[satchmo]

The 4th biggest club in the 3rd best state ???

Woohoo I'm all excited again !
