Then it's ok with me!

If it was Melbourne Demons I wouldnt care what colours they are wearing. It wouldnt be us.
Sorry, quite right. Had 'melbourne saints' in mind.

Mind you after reading spacey's post how about we relocate to Alice Springs and be called 'the indigenous allsaints!
(pay off a few elders to welcome our best into the kin and draft the rest with the blessing of the afl). Easily get far bigger crowds than the giants.

That's a short cut to success and would not be very satisfying. Go talk to a die hard Fitzroy supporter. Sort of like winning by forfeit or against a team a few players short.

Who said we had to be the 'Fitzroy' in this?

When "Sydney" won the flag and spent a few hours in Melbourne with their Melb-based supporters, I wonder how those supporters felt?
Was it empty and bittersweet?
I moved to Perth years ago and still miss family and friends, still in regular contact through social media, but it's NOT THE SAME.
I saw Iron Man 3, so did all my Melb friends, but we saw it 4000 km apart, we didn't see it together.
Technology can maintain the lines of communication to some extent, but that real sense of being WITH someone can never be the same. You can only share so much.
Even if we had 3D hologram skype, you can't replicate being in the car with someone, having a coffee or beer after the movie, etc.


A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤🤍🖤 and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

I reckon their supporters down here loved it as much as we would if it was the saints winning. They didnt merge though. They just played in another state.

I would prefer to stay on the bottom of the ladder than watch the 'Melbourne Saints' win a manufactured flag… can't believe people are even open to the idea, obviously not the ones rattling the tins back in the 80's/90's trying to avoid exactly this scenario.

NO F-ing WAY

Please discuss

Also note I have deliberately chosen Melbourne over the roos / doggies as I think as a club they have more value (the mcg)
fraaking hate the idea and if it happens i will abandon being a member. no more AFL for me.... St Kilda FC are the Saints and that's final for me.

A totally vomitous idea - just like the jumper from last night!


This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

How about if we send them off to become the Darwin Dees and we get a couple more big home MCG games per year?

What about Footscray, Melbourne, North all merge together and we stay as StKilda Saints like we have for 140 years…

Ridiculous thread, I bet most of the folk thinking it could be a good idea don't go to any matches?

Jeez, it's a sad day for football when supporters of their beloved club actually welcome the idea of a merger.

FFS, where is your backbone, fellow Sainters?!?!

We've come this far and now we want to go the easy route. PATHETIC.

The coodabeens had a song back in the 80's for a new merged team. The club was to be called North Footskildaroy! Same teams under the pump then, as now. Personally, death before merger!!!!

Yes, I remember it well. A Coodabeens classic. It was sung to the tune of Along The Road To Gundagai. Good times!
