I am confused by all of this "Saints did the wrong thing" business. Didn't we offer him a new contract? Which he rejected?

Maybe he requested this? Didn't think he could break into the side and thought he'd take a chance in the draft?

If he is truely committed to the club and can sort the situation out with Ross and the boys, i believe he is very valuable to the team. But if he is not desperate to play for the saints then he should leave.

Well Luke got completely screwed. I also hope he can work it out with the Saints, i dont think he deserves eternal failure at the Dees.

rossy say saints happpy for luke to stay but new deal on table?

If you don't want to hear from Raph haters don't look at the 'players we want to trade' graph-thing over on the afl website...
To think this stuff comes from 'supporters'.
Thanks Francis

I agree SainterK, it's getting very old.

I cannot believe how harsh some of these calls are.
Certainly wouldn't blame X for his lack of opportunity, i'm sure he isn't thrilled with all the long term injuries either.
Goodluck X, if you go to Brisbane i hope you can get out on the park.

Guys i'm really confused. Is this just speculative journalism? What about the one year contract he signed? Someone may have already cleared this up but reading through the thread im just getting more perplexed?!

As much as it hurts that he is leaving i cannot begrudge him for wanting 'greater opportunities' in regards to playing time. Unfortunantly for him by extending his career he may just have climbed out of a premiorship window to start a collection of wooden spoons (PSD) or lower his IQ by having to sp...

Part of me wishes i was more like you Moods, then it would be so much easier when players retire and trade week begins. But like many i get such an emotional attenchment to all our players that it makes these times so difficult

i just got home and logged on.. today a friend told me bally wanted to go to the pies and i laughed in her face, i was that sure he would re-sign. wow. cannot really put into words, this is devastating. i'm sure that it is not just money related, has to be about playing time. he was always so loyal ...

Snoopygirl- my decorations took over the whole front yard of the house but with the downpour and hail the paper decorations ripped and lost dye. Also instead of the balloon bannisters i was pretty much left with bunches of red, white and black rubber hanging from strings! Like i said, what was salva...

I got home yesterday and all of my decorations had been taken down for me- balloons, posters, streamers, the lot. Am grateful because like you Maxstar, i think i would have struggled.
Whatever was leftover have gone in the cupboard for next year because we WILL need them again.

SainterK i think that is an amazing idea.


Max,
You are adored by all who have anything to do with the St Kilda football club; for your loyalty, dedication, courage and passion.
A true champion, you will be sorely missed.
Always be a 'favourite son' to us.
Thanks for the memories.

it makes me really proud to be a saints supporter reading posts like these thanks guys, although i don't think anything will take away the pain of losing a game like that, knowing that (most) supporters are this LOYAL is heartening.

[quote="Longwayfromhome"]No. Nobody has to accept it. This is not right. Six memberships, four reserved seats. No longer guys. I'm too bloody old to be propping up a club that may never be any more than average when it comes to the big time. Fifteen other clubs to choose from. Big cheese g...

Thanks Saintbrat, a good listen! Very well spoken our Joey is.

watching the pies supporters leave!

Kelly Underwood on 774 said it was a pro Saints crowd! Never thought that could happen. Great job Saints fans keep it up!

[quote="Verdun66"]Just listening on the radio to talkback. Roo went off at the same time as Rocca, so alot of the noise was for Roo apparently.[/quote] Yep, happened right in front of where we were sitting. There were many Saints supporters near the interchange bench and went absolutely nu...
