Chatting with Armo's Folks

Post: # 865629Post BakesFan »

I met Armo's Mum and Dad at Dolphin Heads Resort today. They are lovely people... Armo's Mum came up and introduced herself, as I was wearing my Saints polo.

Spoke to them for a little while about all things St. Kilda F.C and I asked about Armo's plans once his contract comes up at the end of 2010.
I mentioned to Armo's Dad that The Gold Coast are likely to offer Armo a hell of lot more than the Saints will, and his response was; "Well David's management will probably encourage him to go, but it's not all about the money. David's very happy at The Saints."

Armo's Dad is tipping David to be playing on Luke Ball in the Round 3 game vs The Filth.

Thats really nice.

I hope you mentioned his brother is on the site and adds a lot because he is proud.

And so he should be. We really need Armo and lets hope he will make the difference next year.

His parents sound like lovely people.

We are all very excited to see what Armo can do next year, as we all have seen that he can be do some pretty special things and Ross has suggested that he has done a good apprenticeship.

But, although he is probably the most suitable replacement for Ball's role, we shouldn't expect miracles from him. He is still young and there is no quick fix for centre-man.


Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

I can just picture Lyon informing him he's playing on Ball, followed by a lingering look that says it all.

What a year he has before him.

Understand the sentiment, however I would prefer to see Armo ripping the ball out from under packs, getting about 20 contested possessions, 5 inside 50's and 10 tackles, all the while with Ball, chasing his tail and being dragged over and over, playing 51% game time and texting his manager from the bench complaining that he is unloved at Collingwood :wink:

i really wanna see armo and hopefully gears get some serious game time this year
hopefully young gears has put on a few kilos and armo is increasing that tank
this is our future.
great story bakes
obviously they are super proud of him, and if that happened to me id actually be super chuffed that they took the time to come over and chat.
obviously wearing a saints top in qld in off season shows that ya a true legend of a fan and they prob also wanted to acknowledge that maybe.

thats pretty cool of em
and im sure those who are up north will see them at the cocktail function coming up

Well done, especially appreciate all the info about Armo/Saints that you provide.
