Sandy Alignment...Mixed Feelings (Nick Sautner)

Eastern · Post: # 711904Post **Eastern** » Sun 22 Mar 2009 5:22pm

I just had a horrible thought about our alignment with Sandringham

If we venture down to have a look at our developing players running around with Sandy we might even have to cheer for Nick Sautner

For those who don't know, during the week Sautner is Collo's right hand man at Osama stadium !!

With that attitude thats why we at Casey Scorpions are so happy that the alignment with St. Kilda has ended.

At least with us, you got to play finals.

And unfortunately for them, the Saints players not in the senior team will be running around at Trevor Barker Paddock every 2nd week.

Why should anyone support Sandy because Saints players are there. I happen to follow Sandy but when I watched scorps I couldnt have gave a stuff if they won or lost as I followed Sandy and the saints players not Scorps.

Rather be running around TBO than out in the wilderness at Casey fields...might explain why a few Melbourne players chose to go to TBO yesterday than go and watch the Scorpions at Cranbourne...brought a wry smile to my face!

I was a Prahran supporter but they are long gone so now i follow whoever the Saints are aligned with..

I much prefer Casey but Sandy it is,for a little while anyway..

maybe they will find reason to change........again

Thought with you nick Bob that you might follow the Zebs...after all Bob Murray came to St Kilda from Sandy and went back there after he finished at St Kilda

And that illustrates the strength of the former alignments (or lack of). The Melb/Sandy alignment meant something to MFC, MFC was committed to it, the players formed bonds because of it and a legacy remains because of it (for the timebeing at least).

There was no such commitment by the Saints to the Scorps, the alignment never flourished and it therefore leaves no legacy whatsoever.

The Zebs will need St KFC to make a real corporate commitment to them and desire for a genuine alignment, or face losing St KFC to Frankston in 5 years time (and that would be karma!).

The reason for this and it will happen with Melbourne and the Scorps as well is that no players lived out that way so they didnt go to games unless they had to. Most Melbourne and Saints players live near Sandy so they did/will find it easier to get to games so there will be a bond even if small.

I'm a Sandy man, couldn't be happier. Geez I just realised I haven't posted for a while, two posts in the last five months must be a record for me

My last game was for the two blues against the zebras

Shows our respective ages

This is the real alignment for St Kilda.....I bet plenty of traditional Saints fans (ie. from the Moorabbin days) were also Sandy supporters.

It really comes down to where you live in relation to Trevor Barker Oval IMO, and being 10 to 15 minutes drive away, I couldn't be happier about the new alignment

but remember CaseyScorp is just ever so slightly agenda-riddled with his arguments on this one plugger!

I just think it's great that most people are positive about the new alignment.

Finally a decision that actually makes sense.

Sandringham may well have denied Williamstown the 1994 VFA Premiership, and it grated at the time, but I'm better about it now...

It's a decision that makes sense, especially with the board's obsession with making us the Bayside club.

It'll be a very long association methinks.

You should be. Zebras were premiers and Seagulls were 8th that year.

Why should I give two figs about second rate players from a VFL team I never supported? Either CS or Sandy?

I have ALWAYS been a Williamstown supporter and even when they were witht he filth, althought I wouldn't go to watch them, I sort of supported them, now they are free of the filth I will support them more.

Why would i care about Casey Scorpian or Zebra players if they dont play for the Saints?
