As a member for 53 years I'm a little bit resentful of this new grab for funds. I reckon I've done my bit. During much of the late 70's and all of the eighties we were struggling on-field and consequently our membership numbers declined. Despite this I soldiered on joining every year even though the...

Is there any connection with Ross Lyon when he was at Freo?

At least he'll be back for the finals.

Being a Saints member for 51 years; I've seen it all, and needless to say I've seen lots of coaches come and go. :roll: :roll: Ross Lyon is intelligent enough to adapt his coaching and game style to suit. Since Jeans; I believe he's been our best coach. Admittedly he is dealing with a new gen of you...

I'm just trying to get the context of this discussion. - Was Carlton in a similar position as St Kilda is now when Ratten was their coach? - Did Malthouse (a duel premiership coach) replace Ratten at Carlton as senior coach because the Carlton board thought Malthouse would deliver them the Holy Grai...

…and why can’t we? https://www.sen.com.au/ In case link doesn’t work - Garry Lyon and Tim Watson…ask why St Kilda and Essendon are on/off teams and Sydney are the benchmark of consistency. Because their leaders in Parker, Kennedy, Franklin, Heeney & Rampe play consistently with passion and the ...

It's been a long time since I posted. This is my 50th year as a Saints member so I've seen the good times and the bad. I'd be interested to hear from members what they think about our President's message. If you didn't get the message from the President (ie you're not a member) please don't respond ...

Then why is anyone on this site? Surely to seek information.

Ah coach bashing!! I've seen that so many times as a Saints member of 48 years. I have a close friend who barracks for Melbourne. Whenever the "D's' don't perform, it's always the coach who is at fault. He has blamed Barrassi, Northey, Balme, Huthison, Daniher, Bailey, Neeld, Craig, Roos and no...

Thank You. Great footage. Gee it was a long time ago.

Great report. Thanks

We will be top 4 before 2020. Could be next year, could be in 3 years. Then you need a touch of luck. We're due for that. It's all about luck. Get me started and I can talk about 1971,1997,2008,2010. We had chances but strange things happened and if you tell me you make your own luck F-Off. But wit...

It's already simpler. We just need to win the next 7 games in a row now.

Just win our next 8 games. Problem solved!!

I've been disappointed with Mav's output this year too and I've been surprised he's held his spot in the team for so long. I'm wondering if his role in the local "Mav's World" Social Media spot is keeping him in the side. I can't imagine it making any difference but can "Mav's World&q...

Reminds me of another number 8. Glen Elliott was more known as a mudlark but also had great skills. I'm a big fan.

I like Wright. He's fearless and even though Mav played well last week against the Hawks I have been frustrated with his kicking for goal and disposal in earlier games particularly against Collingwood (even though we won the game). Having said that Wright's disposal isn't great. Either way as Richo ...

We do have a tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot. Starting with trading Ian Stewart for Billy Barrett. From there: 1) Letting Hawthorn take control of Waverley as a home base. 2) Letting Hawthorn take over control of Tasmania when we have such a large supporter base down there. 3) Choosing to p...

Fox was a very substantial client of ANZ St Kilda banked ANZ ANZ was the principal secured Trade Creditor, holding a Floating Charge Debenture over the assets and undertakings of the St Kilda FC. It was imperative to the Scheme of Arrangement that ANZ agreed. They did. And I will let you read betwe...

We (the club was) were broke. I remember buying an alarm system by Huegall and Hoyle (our major sponsor of the day) at a fire sale fundraiser at the top floor of the Huggins stand. Foxy was president at the time. The alarm system didn't work but hey!! I gave the club $335 as a donation. I wasn't rol...

I think the 2017 list has an upside which could surpass the 2010 list by the end of the year. That would require winning the flag this year, but I think we will be battling it out for a spot in the eight. Not necessarily, other teams might improve even more but I think we may surprise and not be fa...
