St Kilda, you are finished!!!

Post: # 1908129Post SydneySainter »

This club has no future.

The only future is Tasmania, or a merger, none of which will happen.

I’m off to support GWS.

Goodbye Saints and thanks for the memories, even if they weren’t so good...

In all honesty, I don't see any future for this club. I think we're done .

I agree, put us out of our misery. I'm not going to see this team win a premiership because there's no desire to do so from the administration down.
They only know how to lose and they must really enjoy it.
Here's an idea Ratts, how about scoring, you can't win if you don't score, 1 goal in a half of football is beyond pathetic. I am sick of us kicking the ball forward to an empty forward line, we have been doing that for 8 years and it's worked really well hasn't it.
Pathetic losers.

How many teams lose from 35 - 0 up?

As St Kilda supporters we should be conditioned to this crap, i'm sure we'll all be back next year hoping the club can become winners. :lol:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

I notice myself switching into a completely passive mindset...a numb, zonked out mask of a face that grows over me when I know we will never win...we don’t deserve to win, etc. etc...it’s terrible but it is very effective., I cover myself in a shroud, like an opiate. Almost like I want us to lose...and sometimes, lose badly..

Damn it.

St Kilda..

There is only one way, and that’s to keep trying.

St Kilda won’t die. But we wanna make sure we kick some ass on the field and in the AFL in general, including fixturing and grounds etc.,

If we are a subsidized side, we will just waste money on Hannebury etc.,

We need a review.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Pathetic was an understatement.
We were cooked at half time. The players looked like they had run back to back marathons in a sauna

Kicking a ball to an empty forward line is one thing. Having zero players enter our forward 50 for the last quarter is something else entirely.
Great new game plan. Get 36 up and hold on for a half of footy.

I see goal kicking reached a new high. Checkside banana from 35m on a slight angle. Comedy hour at its best.

Cancel your automatic membership payments and watch them squirm ……all assistant coaches should be given their notice now that they are gone at end of the year……if they want to walk out now fine , close the door on your way out and there will be no good reference for your s*** work

A clean out is definitely needed. If Ratts stays then surely a heap of the assistant coaches and recruiters need to go. So to do a number of players that should never have been picked up in the first place as well as some players not developed by our club.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

I don't like the automatic membership renewal, i know the club needs it's income but we should be allowed to wait until after the trade /draft period, that way we can see where the is heading before we renew.

I renew every year regardless, but making them squirm a bit first has some appeal. :lol:

Good luck to you, life for you will be no better without St Kilda, believe me. It will certainly be less interesting and less frustrating.

I will only give up on them when Teflon and I agree on everything, it will only be then we are both celebrating our 2nd flag.

The club is not a charity. They should provide something for our investment.

It's ridiculous how much I love St Kilda and it is just as ridiculous how much the club tries to benefit itself because I do.

It's a bloody abusive relationship.

I love St Kilda and it would be really nice if they loved me back.

A basket case club that's become a safe refuge for chronic gamblers (recruiters), carpetbaggers (admin) and social justice warriors (Finnis).

Get GT (or someone like him) back to orchestrate a cleanout.

Just getting in first...
'The boys are hurting.
Trust me'

One of the ITKs will be saying this soon.
If he decides to come on here.

But he won't. He knows by now, how we feel.
Telling us the blindingly obvious without offering to give us a shred of hope, is poor form.
