Out they come Out they come

........ out they come to play!

Yep no more passion this side of the fence!

I would love to say that this is the classic example of the WORST run football club in Australia.

I used to bleed for this Club, I "chucked a buck" for this football club in the late 1980s and early 1990's, I sat at the MCG and cried my guts out in 1997 when Jarman killed us and I cried out for Stan to make a change on that day - he did when it was too late and we got done.

Then I waited another 7 years for us to become great again. Well we did - for 2 years. We also inherited the biggest liability we ever had in Grant Thomas. A dog, a money-gubbing PIG and a man who "bled for his club"....... as long as the bottom line supported his enormous "bottom line" that he used to sit on in the coaches' box on game day.

We also inherited a man who probably never inherited great morals - Rod Butterss - might have buggered up a few times - but I tell you what - so much BETTER than Greg Wasteaway - possibly the worst EVER president in the history of the league - I fail to see how he will EVER stand up for the StK FC.

Well, it doesn't worry me anymore actually. This football club is the 2nd biggest laughing stock in the league (bar Fremantle). It is pathetic, full of pathetic people down from it's presidency to its boot studders to its members to the person that cant afford to buy a membership. It is insidious, pathetic, devoid of culture, devoid of the community spirit, lacks warmth, lacks vitality, lacks LOYALTY, I could go on and on and on and on about this Club but I won't.....

So that's why I give up this Club. My family has supported this Club since it was practically born. My grand-dad used to love this Club. In fact when he passed away I wrote an open letter to GT imploring this Club to actually dig deep and win a Flag for my grand-dad. Not only did they fail to win the flag, but a man who "bled" for this Club never answered my email that I wrote to him. What a pig.... Further proof that the man who could deliver us a Flag failed to connect with his supporters. Pathetic actually. It really hurt me, and it hurt my family too. it was the greatest passion my Granddad had.

I happen to work in North Melbourne. Every few weeks I am visited by Kangaroos players asking me about memberships. I have alwas stayed loyal to my beliefs. But I see support that they give for their Club. I see they are a family, they have the "shin-boner spirit", and the loyalty and passion they have for their Club. I have never once received a members email or sms from the StKFC. I have never once received a membership reminder let alone anything from the StKFC. They are the most pathetic run Club or organisation I have ever experienced. I have or was a Member since 1990.

As for on-field, there is a bloke I have always hoped wpuld retire with a Premiership Medallion - Robert Harvey. The guy busts his guts for the Club. Sorry to tell you Rob, it aint going to happen with the biggest bunch of millionaire's boys club you could ever meet. Go spend time with Danielle and your kids. I tell you what kids are the greatest gift you can ever get, so my advice would be to forget what you hoped for and live your life as a happy happy man.

Anyway I happened to buy as membership for the North Melbourne Football Club last week. I will see you all later. yes people CAN change clubs it takes a moment of clarity to realise that they have wasted half their lives giving money to a bunch of spineless, dickless, hopeless bunch of neanderthal, money-grubbing bunch of sissy girls who have NEVER given a sh**te about their supporters (yes you ALL know its true - they have never cared about what we think).

Enjoy more years of mediocrity. You ALL know you will NEVER win a Flag in your living years.

Go Roos!

Don't ever ever doubt my loyalty, doubt your organisation's loyalty that are happy to take your money, tease you and then leave you with no satisfaction whatsoever.

By the way this is meant to be a statement, so enjoy reading and abusing to your hearts contet. I am as stubborn as they come so I don't really care what kind of vitriol comes this way.......

You cannot be serious?
Having a cry because you didn't receive some letter of reply from the senior coach of an AFL club.

Get a grip, i really hope this is just a post for a response and you're not actually serious, for your sake i mean.

iwantmeseats · Fri 04 Jul 2008 10:48pm

pathetic. Your becoming exactly what your post is bemoaning FFS!

We're all frustrated, we're all disappointed, many of us are angry but we all are true to ourselves. If you can put on blue & white stripes (or whatever Collingwood tells them to wear) & feel passion for that club in your heart then you were never truly a Saint.

Best of luck with that.

I mean we are all pissed off, come on. I couldnt be more negative re RL and what this club is becoming on field. However, I could never even think about changing teams, its just unthinkable. God god man, get a grip!!

If you never received a members email, sms or membership reminder from the St Kilda Football Club, it can only be your fault, or you are living on another planet.

I guarantee every other member on this forum has received plenty.

Don't let that rotating door hit ya on the way out.

And please remove your avatar - that man BLEEDS the colours that you do not, clearly.

I may hang shyte sometimes and have held dual memberships when the Dogs were on the brink, but never given up on our team.

Have fun enjoying more years of mediocrity with your shinboning mates.

I am assumming this a gag because I know the author and can't believe he has the lack of character to post this....

If by a faint chance it is true I can only say that you were never a true saint to start with....stuff the shinboner spirit

What about the spirit of the saints...the spirit of Baldock,Barker,Burke and Harvey....

You think we all haven't been gutted by the last forty years...71,91,97,05,06...

You are a pathetic disgrace who wouldn't know loyalty if you fell over it...

Good riddence and don't dare have the hide to show your traiitorise face here again when the fate wheel turns as it will...

Don't forget to shut the door as you leave... :

Your gutless defection says a lot about the lack of character you possess and the lack of guts and heart to fight the good fight....

Stength through loyalty...

pffffft...

You were never a true saint to start with ...now or ever

"I'm sick of not winning premierships, so i'll go for Geelong this year, and whoever looks likely to win the flag the year after, probably Hawthorn".

Gutless.

It was obviously enough to sign up some new members.

TTSF must have seen something there that we didn't...

You can change clubs if you are a supporter of AFL.

You just cant.

Like it or not you and I and every other poor suck of a Saints fan is stuck with it for life.

This thread has to be a pisstake.

Double douche.

The OP does exactly the opposite of what makes clubs great. He places the worth of the individual above that of the collective. Great clubs are like family.

STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY

What does it say about you ttsf if you are prepared to abandon your family? If you don't have spirit, honour, loyalty then what do you have? A vacuum at the heart of your soul.

I'm not an Aussie but it is clubs like Saint Kilda that IMO really embody the Aussie spirit - it isn't the winning that counts it's the never-say-die attitude, passion and reverence for the ideal of sticking up for your mates come what may. That and the openness with which outsiders are welcomed into the fold are the reasons why Aussies are respected around the world.

When the going gets tough, as JFK once said (abridged) - "Ask not what your club can do for you, ask yourself what you can do for your club."

HOw late in the '80's looks like Harves has outlasted TTSF?
