Let's all boycott the North game to send a message!
If every StKilda supporter boycotts the North game next week perhaps the players might twig that they actually should be honoured to play for this club and give their best to the jumper and the long suffering supporters.
Perhaps they might be embarassed that their loyal unquestioning fans have actually had enough of their off-on performances where they too often don't come to play.
Perhaps they might realise that our loyalty has a limit and ultimately depends on them putting in and giving their best effort.
A lot of great players have played for this club, champions who gave their all.
How disappointed they must be at the present playing group who don't seem to care and put in just enough effort to look like they are contributing.
If they don't come to play then why should we come to watch?
It won't hurt the club financially as we have already paid our memberships.
But it just might send a message that sinks in.
(And might give us a stress free weekend).

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

F*** em, make them beg for our continued support, conditional on better recruiting and the employment of competent people.
How many defenders will The Saints pick in the 2024 draft ?

Would not miss this one for the world. Team 57% v Team 72%, possibly a nil all draw decided by penalties - will still be nil all. Shaping as the comedy hot ticket of the week.

I'm going to support the team. I'll be the one holding a sign "Deep Entries" inside a red circle with a diagonal line. Hoping Ratts sees it and wakes up.

Definitely
2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

Guys,
I had a dream that tony74 posted on here:
'Look, the boys are hurting as much as, if not more, than you guys.
Don't EVER think they're not trying.
Ever.'

If you don't attend the game, you will miss a great tribute to Nicky Winmar when we launch the indigenous jumper for 2021 (also hopefully as easy kill against the Roos)

Re: Let's all boycott the North game to send a message!
I think boycotting the game is stupid and childish. If you don't want to support the club then choose another. We're all pissed off but that action or non action doesn't solve the problem.
In Springfield, they're eating the dogs. The people that came in, they're eating the cats. They’re eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there.

Re: Let's all boycott the North game to send a message!
Well, you might get your wish as there maybe no one going to the games this weekend courtesy of Covid.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

I was thinking I may not attend the North game because of [CAN'T SAY BECAUSE COVID RESTRICTIONS ARE POLITICAL].
