St Kilda I was in love with you but you weren't in love with me

Post: # 1908742Post Jacks Back »

From another topic I came across this post:

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.
And I immediately thought of the old Billy Field song "You Weren't In Love With Me"
Have a listen if you haven't heard it before or have a listen again.
Every word could have been written about us and the St Kilda football Club (the song has the lyrics on it).



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


St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Yep Jacks Back, us deluded Saint supporter’s have suffered from unrequited love since 1966 ended on such a high. Many of us didn’t listen to Blind Freddy at the end of 2020, we love struck fools believed it was at last onwards & upwards & our Club wouldn’t dump on us again. :cry: :cry:

Of course its really about lust - and mutual dependency. Trying to be rational won't work.

And losses shouldn't be taken personally they just add to the enjoyment of the next win. No place for self pity, just work on your chat up lines.

It would be good if Blind Freddy didn't have so much influence around the club, but. Like selection, recruitment....pre game babble..

Looking forward to next date already?

‘Bad Habits’ fits the Saints persona too

Queen's 'I Want to Break Free' works for me from my side of the relationship.

Love the abusive relationship metaphor. Well done whoever came up with that one. Here's a great old one about abusive relationships that reminds me of the Saints:



This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

I have never heard this song. It is chilling.

A proper work of art.
