Re: If The Dogs Can Do It. So Can We
Sorry mate but I can't agree on what a great grand final it was. In fact there was nothing exceptional about it except the Dogs won. The best grand final of all time was the 2010 drawn grand final. Even Eddie McGuire said it was the greatest including most of the newspapers at the time. Can we do it...

Re: Our Shrinking Membership/Following
SainterSan lives in Sydney, so "can't be a member." I wish I could but my job often requires me to work on the weekend. If I could make it I would. Next year I'll resume my membership. I don't want anyone misunderstanding my question: it isn't about club loyalty or dismissing the importan...

Re: Our Shrinking Membership/Following
No offence meant, SainterSan and other posters, but this views expressed so far in this thread offer nothing constructive or realistic in the way of growing membership. They do, however, recycle well-worn swipes at "the club" (which I would have assumed you are all a part of), memories of...

Re: Our Shrinking Membership/Following
The truth is the club has a losing history stretching over 100 years. Many people in our heartland opt to support other teams and we're just not very popular. Melbourne have had it much worse than us...as have Richmond and have they stuck fat and showed us what means. Saints fans are a disappointin...

Re: Our Shrinking Membership/Following
Saints have failed to capitalise on the success and high exposure we had during the GT and Lyon years due to our lack of ultimate success and too much negative publicity. Did we what! Just one flag would have made a difference (2009). We should never have let Lyon go - I know he had us over a barre...

Re: Our Shrinking Membership/Following
Stability (why we had to go to Seaford baffles me, I know there were issues with the council and the CEO of the time. I'd like to see us eventually return to the Junction Oval. I know that's unlikely but we need a strong base and the best foundation for that is the inner city. It's a pity someone l...

Our Shrinking Membership/Following
G'day all! A simple question: what's happening to the size of our club? We used to be a middle power in terms of membership and popularity, up there with Geelong and Hawthorn, but this year for the very first time we have the lowest membership tally (32,000 members) of all the Victorian clubs. And o...
