They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

Butterss quits Saints presidency
By Jordan Chong
October 02, 2007 ST Kilda president Rod Butterss and his fellow directors have quit the board of the AFL club. Butterss, as well as fellow directors Glen Casey, Mark Kellett, Andrew Bassat and Ray King, announced in a statement they were standing down.
They were facing a serious challenge by a Greg Westaway-led rival ticket called St Kilda Footy First.
Butterss said he and the board were "not prepared to submit the club to a costly legal battle in the courts which is scheduled to commence tomorrow".
"The resignations take effect immediately to allow the Footy First group the opportunity to outline their plans for success to the members at this Friday night's Trevor Barker awards night," the statement said.
Butterss said a "smooth transition and a stable environment were important to enable the club to focus on the issues that really mattered such as signing sponsors and preparing for the 2008 season".
Butterss had been on the Saints board since 1999 and was elected president in 2001. The 48-year-old was also a former reserves player at the club.

Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons; for you are a quick and tasty morsel.

one can look at his short-coming all day and night however with meticulous planning he was able to turn this club around big time
thank you for your efforts
if it wasnt for the public spat between him and gt i suspect most people would still be in favour of rb staying on

"It's a work in progress," Lyon said.
I must say that he is leaving with grace.
Best thing for both club and RB
Thankyou to the board for all their hard work over the last 4-7 years
