Saints on Facebook?

Sunday Red · Post: # 741700Post **Sunday Red** » Tue 19 May 2009 4:15pm

Was doing some time wasting at work earlier (:lol:) and came across the "Official" St Kilda Facebook fan page (which looks quite new?) I don't know if teams can do this (or if Telstra will ban it), but it looks like the club is actively updating the page and it's been a good way to keep on top of things that are going on.

I don't know if this link will work, but will try anyway:

Some of them were done by other people without their knowledge. Not sure if that has been fixed though. I know a few were upet about it.

Soo tempted to add Armo when I found his.

Will respect his privacy though.

Added Sam McGarry though, yayay.

Had a mate in darwin who was obsessed with our 80's players. His favourite was Gordon Fode, and he wanted a picture of his flat top.... Things you do we you drink...couldn't find a pic of Fodey anywhere,so i thought he might be on facebook...he was and his profile pic was an old footy card picture of him! So i had to add him so we could cut and paste his profile picture...and he accepted haha.

Last year i bumped into him at the Harvey tribute game and had to explain why i was on his facebook. He laughed and said "aw yeah you're the fishing guy from darwin",and he had a chat to me for a bit. He was quite accepting and didn't seem to think I was a potential stalker...

I'm a fan of one Facebook page...I don't think it's official though. Will have to track the official one down. I signed up to their Myspace page via my old band...along with a few players (Ball, Dal Santo...actually NDS knocked us back) and a stack of fans (N1ck, were you on there...seem to remember the spelling...mates with 'Needles'?).

Sam already had 22 mutual friends... He knows a few mates for high school.

Just type their names in search...it's more fun. If I was one of those poor buggers, I'd stay off Facebook for fear of fans tracking me down...be careful with their privacy bud.

Careful, dont name names.

If people want to search for players online thats their business, but we're not going to facilitate 'stalking' of our guys on facebook.

I'll bet Kosi will be safe from most on here searching for him.

Tony Brown - that was very smart and witty - made me smile.
I'm sure that narrows the search down to only 2 million people on the planet.

Touche!

I suggest Matthew Young or Andrew Thompson instead.

This is awesome guys, thanks.

Try not to list names guys.

It's pretty low brow stuff to go around adding people who don't know you, so let's not encourage that kind of thing here.

That wasn't the intention of the OP

It was more just to say there is an official fan page rather than promoting stalking

jonesy · Post: # 742193Post **jonesy** » Wed 20 May 2009 1:19pm

The Tony Brown reference was meant to be a joke,as I'm sure if you punched Tony Brown into the search function you'd come up with 26,000 different profiles

Facebook IS stalking.

IMO.

haha true!
That's why we love it.

I have a couple of Saints on facebook, but only those who I have met personally and actually spoken to a few times.

I don't see the point in adding the others, as I tend to see it as an invasion of their privacy.
