With our 2009 Membership campaign streaking past 10,000, the new 2009 range in store and plenty of 2008 stock at heavily discounted prices, now is the best time to pick up Saints Membership and Merchandise.
You only have to look at the straws to see which way the wind blows!
Anyone with a clue would know by now that the current board are bereft of a good idea, have tunnel vision for the future and are wrecklessly re-locating the football club to Seaford!
Not including Geelong, our training facility will be located further away from the city centre, than any other Victorian team!
Even the Western Bulldogs training facility is being built in their heartland at the Western Oval, not to mention Collingwood having elite facilities across the road from the MCG!
In the future it will be harder for the St kilda football club to attract star players to our club, with a training facility located in Seaford when compared to more centrally located Victorian clubs!
This will become an issue, make no mistake and it will be the current board's legacy and their tunnel vision for the future that will impact on this club!
A location in the St kilda area, our spiritual home and one of the most marketable suburbs in Australia and the most marketable suburb in Victoria, which could be a real asset to this club in promoting it, is being overlooked, because the current board would rather locate the club in Seaford!
A training facility with the Albert Park Lake as it's backdrop would be the perfect scenario and would be the absolute best way that this club could become a powerhouse of the AFL, this is doable, but unfortunately the current board have a tunnel vision for the future relocating the club in Seaford of all places!
Even in their literature, the choice of words is a give away, streaking past 10,000
As if it wasn't already blatantly obvious already that the new board are all wearing the emporer's new clothes!
When the wheel turns and the inevitably cycle has us once again at some point near the bottom of the ladder, Seaford will become a poisoned chalice, a white elephant and an achilles heel with the club located in a backwater and quite possibly the next Fitzroy, as membership drops off!
This will be the current board's legacy, make no mistake, wake up and smell the roses, these clowns should be booted before they create anymore havoc!
Streaking past, 10,000
FAIR DINKUM!And how handy would Cousins be as a backup to our midfield should anyone of our top players be out for any reason!
If Hayes goes down, we are fair dinkum rooted, at least with Cousins we could have possibly had enough to in some way cover for him, now we have SFA!
But anyway we don't have Cousins because Family First, which includes Nathan Burke,( let's face it the strongest thing he's ever been on is red cordial ), saw fit not to take the free kick and opportunity that was handed to us on a plate!
If anyone is going to be streaking, it will be Ben Cousins, tearing us a new one as our pedestrian midfield struggles to keep up, when we play Richmond!
FAIR DINKUM!
