City west is actually right for once - we have to play footy this year purely for the TV rights money.
NRL are looking at a 20 round season and Grand Final on 25 October
Many sporting leagues around the globe have just cancelled thier entire 2020 seassons in the past 24hrs. Some EU countries have also started seeing a spike in infections. We haven't hit winter yet. The government haven't given approval yet.
If we are playing just for media rights money then I hope the players don't take it too seriously and injure themselves by playing every 3 to 4 days. They might as well save themselves for next year when the real comp starts again.

One thing I know for sure is that if we/us supporters/barrackers/members don't do anything St Kilda will fold, or at best relocate to Tassie or merge with another team.
We have to get a campaign going this year to raise at least $5 Mill. Preferably closer to $10 Mill. Obviously the more the better. I don't know if that is possible but if we don't show the AFL that we want our club to survive then we will be first to go.
You can raise $20 million and it still won't stop an AFL and/or bank decision to kill off a club under the new AFL administration-type management of the 12 assisted clubs. It's called throwing good money after bad. The insolvency practitioners engaged by the banks to oversee the $600 million loan would be looking at our club the same way the administrators are looking at Virgin, loaded with debt, under performing assets and weak market share and cashflow.
I don't agree. It's still in our hands. All supporters need to band together. We need to start a campaign now. I don't know what or how, but I am more than willing to offer my time if it means saving my club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are stuck in the old paradigm. In the new post COVID-19 AFL the people who will decide our destiny care little for football, they are called administrators.
What planet do you live on seriously? If we managed to raise $20 Mill (very very unlikely I admit but not impossible), St Kilda would have their destiny in their own hands. No matter what any aresehole administrator says.
Yep agree with that, and if half of our supporters were members we’d be as healthy as the Collingwoods and Hawthorns, etc.

Jokes on you.
Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

Maybe we actually GAF & just maybe we are sick & tired of mediocrely & want more from the team we love & have supported through thick & thin & in my case over 50 years & others even more & just maybe we might see us win a flag before we die . Is that really too much to ask
