Can't believe I thinking about this
but I'm done.
Got the membershp forms for the new melbourne heart a month ago and wondered where I would get the $220 from.....
now I know... I am giving up this corrupt so called sport. It's not the sport I used to know, now they make up the rules as they go.
So I'm not turning on the TV on thursday night to watch the footy (first time in years), will not go to any games, will stop being a member of a club from the AFL. I will instead buy some better golf clubs and also memberships for the new rugby union side and melbourne heart. Add in the ashes and I will get enough sport.
The whole concept of sport is to have a fair playing field, where the players, coaches and supporters know whats allowed and whats not. This makes for great drama and excitement. Pure passion is what our gme was based on.
Now the AFL is just a entertainment company who changes things depending on the outcome they want. Want more soccer moms, kick out a bunch of players. Want a star to play the week after, ignore their elbow.
Bring in a system where they can speak for 20 minutes about points but fail to get to the heart of what you can and cannot do.
I don't understand the rule, neither do the players. I am emotionally drained and done.
Please give me some reason to keep supporting this sport. Please because the saints mean the world to me. But my metal health is more important and I can't emotionally attach myself to this so called game anymore.

Pick up your lip and stop sulking. None of us are any happier about this decision than you are, but we still have a team to support. For you to threaten to bail out on this team halfway through the season is childish and cowardly. You think you are feeling bad, imagine yourself in Milne or Bakes shoes? Do you seem them quitting the club?
Time to put this behind us and move forward. Bakes will be there helping to hold the cup up in September 2010 and 2011. They say what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. With what St Kilda has been through, we are that strong that we should win at least the next 2 grand finals.......![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Couldn't agree more Solar.
Stick with it this year - if for no toher reason that to STICK IT UP EVERYONE when the boys win it.
That will make it all worthwhile. Then the AFL can go and get farked.

Pretty much word for word what I wrote a few years ago in the other Baker thread.OneEyedSainter77 wrote:Solar, please don't leave.
We need you.
Come on mate, your reaction is almost like you are taking it out on St.Kilda - I know you love the club - you'd still have a soft spot in your heart for the club and you'd be just as happy as any of us if we ever win the premiership.
i never could give up supporting st.kilda because I fell in love with the club... and that's why i still can't give it up.... I'm in too deep. I couldn't give up St.Kilda for anything (I threatened to cut my membership card up at one stage and didn't have the strentgh to do it)
i understand this has cut people really deep and like all of you, I'm extremely pissed off and hope theat the club does take it further. but one thing I can tell you, regardless of what happens now, I WILL NOT BE LEAVING THIS CLUB! i'll scream my throat hoarse and support the red, white and black and boo the men in yellow/red/blue/green/black/white/pink and the men in the opposing team (and my father brought me up not to boo)
And I'll never stop hoping or wishing for that elusive dream to come true - the premiership dream. I've supported this team through thick and thin (mainly thick) and will continue to wear the rose-coloured glasses, continue to try and add some positivity to the forum when everything is down, - I just WON'T accept that its over - I won't give the AFL the satisfaction of defeating me. It's broken my heart, ripped out my soul and shat all over whatever remained of me but this club means too DAMN MUCH to me to care about any of it...
End rant.
Don't leave Solar.

Still, glad I made an impression on one person.

so some people will take it out on the WHOLE TEAM beccause of one player and one issue.
there are still 44 players out there needing our support to provide that Final bit of energy with voice and vision wen things get tight....
Do you think Bakes will NOT attend games and provide his presence as his Mates take it up to the opposition..
that's letting the " Mystical " them WIN>

Corruption is everywhere Solar, don't think you can escape it. The only ones who suffer here is St Kilda and of course your good self.
They only win if we give up, don't buy the paper and forget channel 9 if you truely want revenge. But NEVER give up on our boys. You would regret it in September. Don't let the bastards get to you, Strength Through Loyalty.

I will stay loyal to the saints as ever,that will never ever change. However I'm bitter with the game.
It's laughable.
I can't take it seriously anymore. No longer will I be able to enjoy a neutral game,knowing that those 2 clubs play under a different set of rules than us. I am addicted to supercoach/dreamteam...I can no longer play it. I'll be requesting the termination of my accounts tommorrow.
Luckily I have another passion,this will be getting more attention in winter from now than it usually would this time of year

Re: Can't believe I thinking about this
Guess what? Life isn't fair, but it doesn't mean we all quit when things aren't always "consistent" or "fair" or "equitable". Sorry to say but the Earth isn't completely spherical either....... The Poms are unhappy at the ref, ditto the Aussies and poor Harry. Mike Sheahan even has to look at that ugly head when he approaches a mirror.Solar wrote:but I'm done.

Re: Can't believe I thinking about this
Solar, if you're frustrated now I'd strongly advise you against switching to a sport where you'll be lucky to see a goal scored; where if a goal is scored it's likely to be disallowed coz some poor bloke was standing somewhere he shouldn't; where blokes fall to the turf without any assistance; where players come and go at will during the actual season and where you're likely to find a lit flare down the back of your pants!Solar wrote:but I'm done.

The thing you need to remember is you don't support the AFL, you support the Saints. You can give up the game, but you can't give up the club.
As a supporter, the sole contribution I can make is to support. 100% of my support goes to St Kilda. For all I care the jerks at the AFL can go... you know the rest.
It's a shame (disgrace?) that they're spoiling our enjoyment of the game by which our club measures its success.
I won't let them spoil my support for the Saints. Neither should you!
