Oh and how often have you seen St Kilda 'knuckle down' and put in the hard yards???
I love this club and will be there today yelling my guts out - 1st Level 2nd row
Where will you be?
North should be stripped of the Good Friday clash and St Kilda reinstated!!!!

Trading Membrey (if we got overs), has absolutely nothing to do with this thread.
I have loved this club since they lost the GF in 1971.
I want St Kilda to get as many marquee games as possible so we can prove to everyone how good we are. I couldn't give a continental if our recent history has been poor. An neither should you my friend.

I think you misspelled Realist.
Look at even the recent Paddy Ryder situation - the AFL are not doing us any favors.

It is St Kilda
Maybe game plan
Maybe coaching
Maybe a hoodoo
Maybe I remember times when the players would cry for the club - where players would intentionally break a plantar fascia for the club
Maybe those days are gone
You tell me - until the past 4 weeks when was the last time you felt like the team had gone above and beyond????
How did you feel after the Collingwood loss???
When was the last big time game you went to knowing we would 'pull out all stops'?
When was the last time you went to a game feeling 100% confident we would win?
When was the last time (after a loss) you saw the players hurting?
Today (and the past 2 games) I watched as a team played for each other and had each others backs
Recently this has not been there and it has been 18 Individuals busting a gut - for themselves
I am not a defeatist - I do not go to the game hoping for a loss - but in all honesty - can you say that we have been anything but a likeable/amenable team for the past 40 years
There is a reason we are a lot of people second team - it is because we are toothless
I want us to be hated
I want us to be hunted
I want us to be HARD
I want us to stand for something

Re: North should be stripped of the Good Friday clash and St Kilda reinstated!!!!
All very nice S_D, perhaps we weren't good enough, maybe you were right, they don't care BUT tell those players, do not blanket them all with your belief unless you want to stare that person(s) down.
I've only apologised once for something I've said on this forum, that was about a player / players. Everything else I'll say to the poster or player's face, as a stranger, in a public bar.
To say our players roll over in games that matter is a cop out.

The coaching staff at North were so good that they eventually persuaded Ben Brown to leave the club.Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Fri 15 Apr 2022 8:17pmhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-30/ ... ay/9602844ABC News wrote: North Melbourne beats St Kilda by 52 points in Good Friday match at Docklands - Ben Brown kicks six
Apparently it had something to do with the rest of team being so useless they could not deliver the ball to him.

Re: North should be stripped of the Good Friday clash and St Kilda reinstated!!!!

Re: North should be stripped of the Good Friday clash and St Kilda reinstated!!!!
And BTW - see that image <——— of captain Jack? I have actually thanked him for that look personally as it was one time in recent history that it looked like a St Kilda player was hurting for the club. I shall not relay his response here suffice to say it was recently and it was flattering to the 2022 St Kilda team.Ghost Like wrote: ↑Sat 16 Apr 2022 10:57pm All very nice S_D, perhaps we weren't good enough, maybe you were right, they don't care BUT tell those players, do not blanket them all with your belief unless you want to stare that person(s) down.

I call BS S_D, I'm not going back because you've said that & hinted on numerous occasions that our players don't care about the result. In fact, in your last reply you referenced 40 years - that includes a lot of players who've shed tears, blood & sweat. Get a grip.

We are St Kilda, if we have a player who enjoys losing, call them on it, out them! Do not lump the group of young men / women together. It's pitiful.

Re: North should be stripped of the Good Friday clash and St Kilda reinstated!!!!

Re: North should be stripped of the Good Friday clash and St Kilda reinstated!!!!
All good S_D, maybe I did misconstrue previous posts, maybe I didn't. If any player does not care about the result of a game they play in when they wear the RW&B, they should be called out - however, sadly, just not being good enough is the likely reason. Something that is changing. Let's enjoy this roller coaster called St Kilda.

Something feels different - but I think mostly it is an internal belief
[I am 100% on board, however, I need to tell that to my Apple Watch - twice at the game it alerted me to high heart rate whilst being inactive - lol]
