Zebs Board thinking about cutting ties to Saints...
http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-07-25/z ... h-st-kilda
SANDRINGHAM'S board and leadership group members were deep in discussion on Tuesday night
about the possibility of ending the VFL club's eight-year alignment with St Kilda.
...
Zebras and Saints officials also met in the past month about their alignment,
which is a "rolling agreement" rather than a contract.
But typically each club would have to make a decision early in the previous season about continuing the union into the next year.
It's just discussions at the moment.
Norf in April announced it wants to launch its own distinct VFL team next year.

Re: Zebs Board thinking about cutting ties to Saints...
Zebs will go bust if they ditch us, but we can't afford our own VFL side either.
This is just another tactic by them to try and dictate to us how many Zebs players play each week.
Hopefully we will hold them to ransom and stand our ground.

What point for Aligned VFL teams to have playing listscless than 20
Don't blame them but neither Saints nor Sandy can afford it
Wonder what othe aligned clubs are doing - is it real that Box Hill are really Hawks

Could we just scrap the VFL alignment thingy then, and just play our reserve games as curtain raisers for AFL games?

That is incorrect. It's all to do with the scrapping of the Development Leaguesaintspremiers wrote:Zebs will go bust if they ditch us, but we can't afford our own VFL side either.

Had the Development League remained, the alignment would have continued until one or the other decided to go stand alone
The scrapping of the Development League has simply brought this process forward. Nothing whatsoever to do with how many Sandy players play seniors each week

Re: Zebs Board thinking about cutting ties to Saints...
If the Saints decided to follow Norf and field a Saints Reserves team in the VFL,
like someone said, costs a lot of money,
and a helluva lot of time.
You have to line up sponsors, convince them to pay money (and that's money that could have gone to Saints AFL team)
Current Zebs sponsors are in place, so Zebs look after their own $$$
It's a lot of damn work and mucking around
It's not like arranging an indoor cricket team for your workplace
Do the Saints approach another VFL team for alignment?
Frankston Dolphins is close by, but they are working hard on their own set ups and might not want any distractions.

“At this stage it is a little too early to tell as a club and as an aligned club where we are going to go but I’d be confident we’d be able to support it.

And
http://frankstonfc.com.au/afl-vic-licence-submission/
The official date for our licence submission to AFL Vic has been set! Monday 24th July is the day we present our case to get our team back for 2018.
Our focus during July is on presenting a sound case and if successful we will see a fresh approach from the Dolphins with an emphasis on community involvement and a closer relationship with football club across the Peninsula.
Thanks to all our loyal supporters, old & new, we have reached an all time high of Club Members and are fast approaching the biggest membership in the VFL! What an amazing show of support that we hope continues for many years to come.
The outcome, and our fate, will be known by early August.

Good. It was great watching the Sandy telecast last week and watching them play on a real football ground rather than the Beach Rd postage stamp.

Re: Zebs Board thinking about cutting ties to Saints...
I'd be delighted to pay a levy if it meant seeing a saints side, any side, in our colours playing out of Moorabbin. This is where the securing of an AFLW licence for the club becomes even more important. There is a cost with starting any new side, but it also creates new revenue streams. Imagine the first VFL game at Moorabbin, with a genuine saints team in our traditional strip. It would be a lockout! Do it, Saints!Impatient Sainter wrote:I dont believe too many members would begrudge the increase to have a stand alone VFL side.saint-stu wrote:Increase the price of memberships by $12.50 to cover the Saints VFL team.

Re: Zebs Board thinking about cutting ties to Saints...
It's a shame they haven't really allowed for spectators in the new Moorabbin designs. A new grandstand on one of the wings would have been great. I quite like the one at Frankston Park.

Re: Zebs Board thinking about cutting ties to Saints...

it's a bit of a long boring read but the important last paragraph is:
AFL Victoria will reveal on August 7 whether Frankston was successful in its bid to return after a season out of the VFL,
but no other licenses will be considered for 2018.
So if the Zebs cut ties with our club, where do these guys play?
Freeman, Battle, DMack, Wright, Goddard and all the rest?
Is this just a change on paper, do they keep playing as Zebs and if they have good form,
the Saints ask the Zebs to release them to play AFL?
- how about if the Zebs get into the finals and say "no you can't have them, we need them"
If the Dolphins get up, do the Saints go begging to them so our players can play there?
Maybe the Dolphins' application had something to do with Zebs wanting freedom?
Zebs maybe thought "we need to develop a winning culture, and having these Sainters here is not good for cohesion,
the AFL-listed players are not here for "Zebs" but only here to get into Saints"
So Saints can get into bed with Frankston.

it's a bit of a long boring read but the important last paragraph is:
AFL Victoria will reveal on August 7 whether Frankston was successful in its bid to return after a season out of the VFL,
but no other licenses will be considered for 2018.
So if the Zebs cut ties with our club, where do these guys play?
Freeman, Battle, DMack, Wright, Goddard and all the rest?
Is this just a change on paper, do they keep playing as Zebs and if they have good form,
the Saints ask the Zebs to release them to play AFL?
- how about if the Zebs get into the finals and say "no you can't have them, we need them"
If the Dolphins get up, do the Saints go begging to them so our players can play there?
Maybe the Dolphins' application had something to do with Zebs wanting freedom?
Zebs maybe thought "we need to develop a winning culture, and having these Sainters here is not good for cohesion,
the AFL-listed players are not here for "Zebs" but only here to get into Saints"
So Saints can get into bed with Frankston.
Old enough to repaint, but young enough to sell
