What are the trigger points to restart the season?
Firstly, being a national comp you need the Interstate borders open. I reckon this is still 3 months away. So I’m talking perhaps mid July. Then once that restriction is lifted, the AFL need to give 30 days notice to the clubs. I reckon mid-August is the earliest resumption date. Not sure if there w...

Rendell’s rant
Matt Rendell was interviewed after being fired after round 1 from the Pies recruitment department. This is what the comedian had to say: St Kilda would have won at least two flags had they not sacked Rendell's close friend Grant Thomas as coach in 2006. "If he had've kept coaching, St Kilda wou...

Re: GWS private ownership - article on afl.com.au
I wouldn't have thought this possible before COVID-19, however could private ownership put the survival of weak Melbourne clubs at risk. It's why this new model concerns me. Is it now possible under the new model for the AFL to close down or merge clubs without a vote from members. I've listened to...

Re: Sam Gilbert 2 year ban for cocaine use
Real shame, I’d rate Gilbo along with Jimmy Webster the nicest most down to earth Saints players I have met. Hell of a nice guy and great with supporters and kids. Very sad. Very disappointing as Gilbo is a lovely guy who makes time for everyone. Duthie on the other hand is a lying piece of low-lif...

Re: JUST DECLARE THE 2020 SEASON CANCELLED!!
It’s a shame (but I’m not blaming him!) that AB hasn’t bailed us out of this mess so we aren’t St Kilda Football Club (under AFL administration). We are now no different to Gold Coast - we do as Gil commands. Supposedly the annual AFL distributions is now the same for all clubs - we got about 5M mor...

Re: JUST DECLARE THE 2020 SEASON CANCELLED!!
Agree.
Does anyone think Gil is trying to run an elaborate brothel?
He simply wants to pimp out the whole comp whenever he can and wherever he can.

Changes for St Kilda vs Melbourne this weekend
Saints vs Dees is Heaven vs Hell
We are due to play on Easter Sunday - the day of resurrection.
So it’s pretty clear there will be only ONE change this week:
IN: A vaccine
OUT: Coronavirus

Re: Ross Lyon dummyspit collection wanted
People forget that we were 23 inside 50s up on Geelong at half time of the Grand Final. At the time it was a record. No team up to then had ever been +23 I50's at HT and lost. Ro$$ managed to raise the bar! Only St Kilda could do that and lose. There’s a much worse statistic that I heard and couldn...

Re: JUST DECLARE THE 2020 SEASON CANCELLED!!
I have an issue with a legitimate AFL Grand Final being played at Marvel not the MCG. MCG is contracted for all Grand Finals until about 2040ish - I know this year is very different, but I’d be wanting the MCC to either have an allocation at Marvel or give us MCC members some compensation. Easiest w...

Re: $19 per month for 19 months ... your thoughts?
Good sentiments and as you’ve said re May payments this maybe is something to roll out in about a month from now - needs to be tax deductible of course. I’m still pissed off the entitled players are earning 50% of their wage at the moment - it should be a tiered amount where no player gets more than...

Re: I want my money back
The MCC said they will be looking into some sort of compensation for MCC members. MCC are a bit different because match day AFL revenue is remitted back to the AFL - so if the reserve has 20,000 in attendance- the AFL get back $600,000ish from the club. So the MCC expenses are down with no games on...

Re: Trade and Draft - 2009
skeptic as you said, we were only about 1 maybe 2 players off a flag in 2010
Mind you, Pies should’ve had us cleaned up by half time and we shouldn’t have been in the contest in the last quarter. We were actually lucky to get the draw looking at the game as a whole

First of all, don't want my money back. Secondly, to a virus, all we are is food and by isolating and keeping our distance we are denying the virus from feeding.
