If the AFL were the subject of a movie script, nobody would believe the sad n sorry club called St Kilda.
It would need to be given a flag every 20 yrs or so to be believable.
No club in reality could be this bad.

Like it or not

It's why we get shafted with games in Cairns, etc.
I imagine Gill doing a zoom call with the Pies, Blues, Tigers, etc...telling them jokes about the Saints.
The Tigers and Pies tell him 'we ain't playing at the Cattery, Gil"
Gil says 'thank god for St Kilda then look guys, we all know the story, I'll make up a plausible reason for the Saints to have their draw, you guys play along, yeah?'

Yes, I have been here a lot longer than you. You can bang on about free speech, opinions and all that. But with it comes a responsibility to post well thought out and informed posts. Ernie, you post I’ll-conceived thoughts that are neither insightful, constructive, informative or intelligent. This is where you draw the ire of many. It would be preferable if you performed in front of a mirror, just like a budgie.

Who’s to say what’s well thought out?

It’s a fan forum full of passion and garbage generally written by uninformed ignoramus posters ( inc me)

And who cares?!

Anyone who thinks they are more important or impressive than the next is pretty arrogant imo

Don’t judge Ernie, if you’re so good debate the point he is making?!

I tried that, go and read my post, the lengthy one. But it doesn’t work with Ernie, it’s just sack the Board and bring back GT.

No it’s not. I’m saying the board needs to be removed. I don’t care who does it as long as it happens

Read my previous post on this Ernie. The Board just cannot be removed and if they were it would set our club back years. Firstly, our creditors would become very nervous. It might cost us our sponsorship deals and make future ones more difficult to obtain. The Board are doing a good job, it’s our players that are letting us down. Money runs football, money talks and bulls*** walks. Every time.

Here you go Ernie, made it easy for you…….


There has been many posts on here, by a certain forum member, of the need to remove the Board, Senior Management, Head Coach and Coaching Staff at the St Kilda Football Club and to have Grant Thomas take over control of the Club.

I was a GT fan and was astounded at his sacking which may have cost us a Premiership. It certainly set the Club back.

But there are many reasons why treating GT like a messiah and calling for him to take over the club are ill-founded and lack any sense of understanding of how complex organisations need to work.

The Board cannot be removed by GT turning up on Monday. There are procedures in the Club’s Constitution that determine how the Board is established and how Board Members are appointed. The primary function of the Board is the Governance of the organisation. This means the rules that are established that determine how the Club is run. The Club must be run legally, ethically and morally in a professional manner. It must be a financial going concern. It has the responsibility to provide a safe working environment for its employees and many other duties.

It just cannot be removed at the whim of anyone.

The Board of the Club is doing a good job.

Good Boards of management that do their job provide stability and this is of paramount importance to our sponsors and creditors. Can you imagine whet their response would be to a GT coup?

Firstly, we would risk losing our current sponsors and it would certainly make it very hard to attract new ones.

Creditors might call in loans. I think the AFL is our biggest creditor and given GT’s chequered history with the AFL Management, there response might be somewhat nervous.

We are all unhappy with our on-field performances but to call for the wholesale sacking of the board, coaching staff and senior management would set our club back years.

To hope to go back to an era that is now over 16 years ago is just silly. People need to move on.

I believe what SunnyErnie constantly calls for would bring about the collapse of our Club.

At the end of the day, money talks and bullsh*t walks, so Ernie it’s time that you put your shoes on and went walking.

What you want is not going to happen.

The board can be removed. All it takes is for someone to start a petition and call for a meeting. The Bassat board has failed miserably and has to go before more damage is done

[SunnyErnie]

He told us last year that revised timeframe for being in the window to challenge was delayed until 2022. Unfortunately not only was he wrong but we are in fact a bottom 4 club. For a President to be so far off the mark he now has no option but to resign. In actual fact the whole board needs to fall on their own sword. Their ineptitude has brought the whole club to their knees. If they don’t resign along with all the coaching staff and recruiting staff then GT must come in and throw them out. They all thought they could buck the system by trading and bringing in ready made players. A short cut so to speak. All they have done is set the club back another 10 years. They have destroyed MY club and all of them need to be held accountable.

I stick by this
