If everyone who is pissed off with this decision rings the club and emails the club with their protest, and threaten to not rejoin as a member they might reconsider.
No answers no membership!
A complete and total disgrace!!
We voted this board in ( JB may be right :0), se we have to cop it. BUT WE NEED A REASON!
You're obviously easily led.
I'm a disgrace because I want an explanation?
I'm a disgrace because I'm sick of our club making poor decisons?

we are the biggest prickteases in the AFL. we put all the groundwork for Cousins to get back into the AFL then at the last step fall over paving the way for another club to land him.
Seriously, if we didn't want him, why couldn't we have made the decision right at the start, like every other normal club? Oh that's right, we always have to do things the St Kilda way, i'm surprised we didn't sack a few coaches before making the decision.

Worst of all our club had 5 months to make a call on this topic, and we leave it to the very last second. Again we should have ruled out Cousins like North Melbourne (in fairness to players, supporters, etc) and not have dragged people along for a ride.
Not only have we now been made to look like dicks but also to the wider footy community who consider us a laughing stock, and fair enough in this instance.

Poochy 1 2 3 4 and 5 should be reinstated!
I'd rather see our great club fold than bow down to hotheads who threaten to burn their memberships every time a decision goes against their opinions.saint66au wrote:To all of you threatening to not renew your Memberships....I reckon youll all regret typing that tomorrow but if you do go ahead and not renew..you are a disgrace and St Kilda dont need you anyway

When is AGM? I would like to know why so much resource was wasted (eg at the most exclusive sea food restaurant in perth) to arrive at he same conclusion that so many other clubs arrived at with out spending a penny...either the board give good reason why they decided the way they did ( i do not buy sponsorship stuff)....or they should put their fate in the hands of the membership.......................personally I feel that buisness and misguided polite politics has taken over the good senses of the football department...... when I voted this board in it promised to uphold the needs of the football department and meet its needs...............this decision does not support that creed!

We've hit the 200 mark, the only thing that could make this story any bigger would be if GT called up SEN and declared he will be challenging the board and Harvey calls up 3AW protesting he wont be renewing his membership!!

Actually I don't think the majority of SS posters were in favour of him.Armoooo wrote:How do you know what the majority of members think?evertonfc wrote:It's our club.
The board represents us.
We want Cousins.
Why haven't our wishes been heeded given that Archie Fraser believes Ben Cousins could be a fit for another AFL club. Do people understand what that statement entails?
Disturbing. Is this our club - or not?
Just because the majority of SS members wanted Cousins doesn't mean much.
There is no denying that the club have lost a mjor oppertunity to make money, for example a normal STK vs WCE match would have become a blockbuster but if the Board believe he wasn't up to it we have to trust them on this one, they put in the time, money and effort whereas we have just been speculating.
Wouldn't mind betting quite a few wouldn't commit to their convictions in fear of being Politically Incorrect by not supporting a recovering drug addict. Speculation but a fair hunch of mine.
No-one here speaks on behalf of all Saints members, just themselves, so please drop the WE this and WE that. I'm backing the board 100% on this, so does that mean my vote counts as WE are all behind it...
Ben's gone, move on... In fact he was NEVER here...

I love how the rational people on here are pissed off that we looked into Cousins rather than dismissing him instantly like North Melbourne etc. did...
Can you imagine how pissed off people on here would have been if we dismissed the thought of having a Brownlow medalist sign up in a spur of the moment type thing...

WE DESERVE MORE THAN THIS.
F***ing prick teasers.....

People have a right to refuse to renew their membership as a protest, what is this a freakin cult??
No one is talking about going to barrack for the scum ffs.... we are not mindless lemmings, for some enough is understandably enough and sending off a sternly worded email just wont cut it.
How much mediocrity, secrecy, incompetence and price hikes does it take to break the camels back?

I wonder what ethical and moral tests will be applied to Nathan Carroll?
And what tests were applied to Michael Gardiner, too?
FFS - we want answers from the people who represent us. No matter what the club-is-always-right types try to peddle, the double standards smacks of pathetic, small-minded decision making.
