Are happy with Euro-Yuroke name change

[JR23]

St.Kilda is St.Kilda.

Seems like another populist drive by AFL and saints are gullible to rhetoric .

Most clubs seen thru this charade have resisted namely Coll, Carl, Syd, GWS, Bris, North, Lions, Rich, Suns, Cats, Hawks

Lets focus on getting our team better rather that jumping at social shadows

Social shadows or global corporste socialism shadows?

I don’t mean to be rude… we already had this discussion… it devolved and ended up locked.
Then we had the follow up thread which is in the animal enclosure.

Not criticising the OP, as not everyone reads every thread but rather than going down that path again…

You can check it out here and I’m going to lock this in a moment

I'm more worried about an inept performance than a token temporary name change. It's along the same lines as those precious about jumpers. Prison bars anyone?

[JR23]

Thx skepic

Correct I missed it.

Lets have a poll who thought St.Kilda should change name to EY

Me : No

[mr six o'clock]

All the PR
All the Social media stuff
All the community things we do
It's good that as a club and society we do it
However personally I'm like yeah whatever ,
I just want to see my team play good football and win games .
When I see Some of stuff where everyone looks real comfortable I think , No wonder where far king hopeless !

There is value in a name. Brand is everything.

That is why the big names don't cheapen themselves for cheap gimmiics.

Go woke go broke.

The purple hair they/thems applaud the decision. (Yet to see one at a game however)

[B.M]

Definitely not!!!

[saynta]

Speaking honestly? No I am not.

Woke bulls***.

[magnifisaint]

I think it's ok to respect the Indigenous name so yeah it's a good thing.

[B.M]

Happy to fully respect it magnificent and change the name permanently

[chook23]

Happy to go with your first post in this thread B.M

Yep. Does nothing for branding whatsoever.
Everyone in two weeks won’t even remember any of the names (made up by the way).

Just so a few can feel warm & fuzzy and think it actually means anything. It does zilch, nada, zero for anyone.
Selling your soul for a few merchandise sales

[Annoyedsaint]

Eddie Betts was calling them St Kilda & Freo two minutes after the game.

Just about sums it up.

St Kilda supporters are pretty dumb though, so the AFL chooses us as it’s moral compass club

How long before Palestine gets a run on game day?
(I wish i was joking…)

Big names like West Coast, Port. Adelaide, Melbourne?

I’m not sure if it’s relevant but he/him what’s left of my hair is mostly grey. Regular attendee at games.
And I support the temporary name change.

[St Dave]

Shut it down skeptic.

As funny as it is to see all poor souls with brain worms come out to try to make up reasons for how it might impact on field performance or how it offends the heart of the club or whatever, the reality is it is a nice way to show some respect to indigenous players that also might make the afl and the club a few extra dollars in merch.

Euro-Yroke can't hurt you guys, it just might make your kids concerned you are spending too much time on Facebook

[Yorkeys]

How about a warrior or fierce creature name/description to compliment the place name.
And tell you what was great, the didgeridoo playing.
If that could be a regular part of the players entering the field atmospherics, terrific.
Imagine, if it is possible, few bars of Oh when the Saints on a didgeridoo. Great fusion of cultures. I think.

A huge Saint supporter (@shaebee22 on Twitter) goes to every single game, including all interstate games.
45 yr member or some huge number.
