.."ST KILDA president Rod Butterss said yesterday that he was bewildered that a rival group would today launch a challenge to the Saints board.
The group, headed by Gregorys Transport founder Greg Westaway, will announce today that it will launch a rival ticket.
The names of those on the ticket, which could include former players Nathan Burke and Andrew Thompson, will be revealed tomorrow.
Burke has told friends he will be on the ticket, while the recently retired Thompson has also been approached.
Butterss said he had tried to talk to Burke about the ticket but the former champion had not returned his calls.
He said it was absurd that a group would launch a challenge without first contacting him to discuss the issue.

"andour rod is quoted as saying....
"I have had nothing from anyone, including Nathan Burke who I have tried to contact," Butterss said.
"The club is in tremendous financial shape, we will return another million-dollar profit and everyone is applauding the appointment of Ross Lyon.
"Can someone, please, just tell me why? Can someone, please, tell me where we are mucking up? '
.....surely he's not that thick......????
...ask me rod...i will tell you for nothing.............
