Thank you Nick

[Trunch]

Thank you Nick Riewoldt for your leadership, professionalism, courage, honesty, integrity and your loyalty. Im sure the club thanks you but I want to thank you as a member, supporter and fan of St. Kilda.

Your commitment to our club and therefore to us the fans, has filled me with many wonderful emotions.

I don't know why and maybe I never will but football has always been more than just a game for me. I love the Saints and it fills me with pride to know you do to.

Thanks.

What a lovely post. I wanted to say exactly that. I want to thank Nick for everything he has done for the Saints since he first turned up - he's always been an exceptional person as far as I'm concerned and now we know his loyalty can't be questioned. Not that I really thought it could be but stuff happens. Someone said on here we should watch him every chance we get because we'll never see a player like him again. I agree. I think he will end his career as one of the greatest Saints of all time and I am delighted I am able to see him play. Congratulations to everyone who made it happen. Another 300 gamer for this great club.

Yes, I must agree with the sentiments expressed above. Football is just a game, but what a mighty game it is. Nick is able to display the exact characteristics which make our game great - the high marking, the courage, the flair, the pace and the sportsmanship. Like most, I can only judge his character from his public persona, but what I see, I admire. In my view, his football ability is second to none in the AFL (although he has one equal).

Wholeheartedly agree with all of the above.

I would love if we could forward these to Nick.

Thank you Nick

The thing that I absolutely love about this re-signing is the timing. You did not have to do it now - you could have waited - the way we are going there is a distinct probability that we will be holding the cup aloft on September 26th and that YOU will be a premiership captain. At St Kilda that commands more dollars and would make your bargaining position so much more stronger - but in your loyalty to the Saints we find strength - knowing that whilst money will always be important (and people who say otherwise are kidding themselves) it does not have to be the MOST important.

Thank you Nick : for your leadership

Watching Nick at the Testimonial for Harves, I think he was amazed at the response Harves received from supporters and past players/admin alike (was only 2 tables away from us). It was an amazing outpouring of admiration and thanks and Nick will go down as one of our superstars and will receive the same admiration and praise as Harves well before and after he has finished his footy career.

It was an amazing day yesterday and I am thrilled that Nick will be a saint for life! He is one of those special types of players that can pick his team up by the scruff of the neck and drag them over the finish line in first place (ala last half of last year). In my opinion, this is what sets him above a lot of the other so called 'superstars' of the game. He MAY surpass Harves in Saint History in both achievements and admiration by the time his career has finished. Thank you Nick.
