Would be great if we could pilfer Plugger back from the Swines and getting him working with the lads who've continually sucked at their kicking for goal.
Curb your enthusiasm - you’re a St.Kilda supporter!!

You'd have to kidnap him to get him back to Victoria.

It's a business. Some stay some don't. Even too said it was a job.

Roo was loyal as was Barker and a few others...I think there is a difference.
I agree. If you take into account what the club did to keep Plugger on the field, he probably wasn't all that loyal in the end. That's not to say he wasn't one of the greatest who played for the Saints, however.

Loyalty only exists as a concept when it can be reciprocated. As it turns out, players are far more loyal than clubs. Clubs will delist, trade or otherwise get rid of players as they see fit. For St Kilda, this goes back a long way and we really have been one of the least "loyal" clubs in the League - ever. Read our history and you will see that. Or just ask Russell Greene or Nicky Winmar.
And what do we say about players from other clubs who have joined us? Are they disloyal slobs who don't rate? Players like Aaron Hamill and Fraser Gehrig or more recently, Jake Carlisle and Koby Stevens - and couldn't we have done with him last Saturday.
So it is against that background that a few players stand out for staying when big, or should I say, slightly bigger bucks are offered. Players like Robert Harvey, Nathan Burke and Nick Riewoldt.
