Still I think it is a very heartless and expedient decision by the Saints.
He may have been given warning etc but obviously the guy is need of some support.
So what does the Loyaltyunites club do? Sack him.
That will be good for his emotional state. One day a footballer, cast aside because a club hasn't the balls to stick fat with a player, on contract,having
psychologival issues, will
sefl inflict.
Just
prey it isn't Gram. The guy needs all the support he cant get.
I see from most supporters they wouldn't care a fig about Gram the person or the lack of loyalty the club has shown an 8 year player.
Just remember this when BJ runs out in an Essendon jumper, and also remember to boo him loudly for being so disloyal to the STKFC.

I would have traded him after 2009 if I had a say down there JB.
I completely empathise with your line of personal compassion - and certainly, as an individual, I feel for Jason Gram in what's obviously a tough trot.
But that is absolutely as far as it goes for me.
The St Kilda Football Club, like any organisation, is not a breast-fed nursery for people who have been given every chance to succeed.
Word is, this has been an ongoing issue with Jason these last few months. Not to mention his involvement in incidents gone by these last few years.
Yes - compassion is necessary. Yes - stick fat, Loyalty Unites Us, etc. And we stuck fat by JG through many form troughs - hot tip fella.
But Loyalty only Unites Us when we're running together under the same banner. It's no good having a bloke schlepping off to the side of the battle for a wank.
WE gave Jason a great chance - as a Brisbane Lions reject player - and for a few years, he paid us back.
However, with information coming to light that indeed this bloke is a problem and INDEED - he is a damaging person to our Football Club and Brand and purely as a player is holding back the development of others more likely - What Would You Do, mate??
Gram gave some to us we gave a lot to him. He has overstepped the line behaviour wise, and not for the first time obviously.
Sacking is 100% the right decision and it's over to his friends and family now to help this guy work through the issues he currently has. Hopefully he comes back stronger.
Watter's did what was right for the Group and the Club 100 times out of 100.
