Re: Its Time for the current Board/Management and Coach to Go!

I am a passionate supporter of the club, BUT I am NOT a supporter of the destruction of this club! I've been a member for 25yr and had a reserve seat for 15. For first time, I'm seriously considering not renewing next year. I do not want to support those that don't deeply care about making this clu...

Re: When did we become so boring?

Re: The great Saints Conspiracy

I don't think it is deliberate but I think there are subconscious factors at play for sure. I don’t think there is a conspiracy against St Kilda. However, I do believe bias definitely comes into the umpiring. We all grew up with barracking for our team. Then we have some teams we sort of like, some...

Maybe we should ask the Bulldogs to reveal their secret to get all those fee kicks. In their game against Sydney, they got 13 more free kicks, and yesterday against Freo it was 10 more free kicks.

If you know the rules, it is not even arguable. It was a free kick every day of the week. Unless you are a St Kilda player, that is.
+1. I wonder if the situation was reversed, would the umpires have given GWS a free Kick?

Re: Richo about to give press conference!!!!!

In reality our win against Brisbane, albeit far from a stellar performance, was decent. Our first quarter was good and from red time in the third we were good (at times superb). Obviously we got smashed inside, but that improved, Steven stepping up and Longer lifted a bit. I think we are disrespect...

Re: Riewoldt: Seaford ‘crushed’ the playing group

I see the whole thing completely different. While Seaford may not have been the ideal move, it nevertheless presented an opportunity. I would have thought the Saints would go all out to capture the whole Mornington Peninsula, considering there is no other club in that area, as a solid membership bas...
