You don't find St Kilda - St Kilda finds you!
Dont be dissing United to me, I support them because I liked David Beckham and Ruud Van Nistlerooy when i was young and United had red white and black flags so that sealed it to me.I'm with Tex Perkins- anyone can follow Essendon, Collingwood or carlton but that's like following Manchester United. It's for the white bread lame folks. Sorry all you MU supporters but you suck. The battler clubs are cool. They are the leather clad boyfriend your folks wouldn't approve of. They are the hoon car that gets disapproving looks. They are the outsiders that don't want to be inside with the squares...or maybe i'm over thinking it.
All this, plus i've noticed the players getting around the club more on social media. Most tweeted the membership ad encouraging people to sign up and a few go saints tweets after our win last night.some great things happened over the last couple of days:
1) media dept has done extremely well. uploaded various clips and interviews straight after the game
2) special members only footage with richo straight after the game!!!!
3) roos leadership has gone up another level
4) the players all acknowledging the crowd!!! absolutely amazing this point
great work saints!!!!

I don't post here very often, though I read this forum everyday. But this thread, and in particular that membership ad, have gotten me a little emotional. My father came to Australia from England in 1966, and lived with family who were located just behind Morrabin. He's always told me about the game that made him first fall in love with AFL. It was St Kilda vs Hawthorn in 1966, Darrel Baldock came on at half time (or something like that) and won the game for us. My father always says that seeing Baldock, seeing the way that he looked like nothing off the field and like a god on the field, made everything click for him. Football played an integral part in my fathers integration into Australian culture. He met friends for life under the windsock at Morrabin, and he became part of this country through this country's great game. Some of my first memories are of Morrabin (and later Waverly), and in particular of the godawful smell of the Morrabin toilets. I've been to 3 losing grand finals, a handful of losing Prelims, three winning Prelims (I'll never forget walking out of the MCG as a kid after the 1997 win, singing the song with thousands of other Saints fan, feeling like we owned the world) and hundred and hundreds of Home and Away wins and loses both frustrating and wonderful. I think that that ad touched on something that is both a part of AFL as a sport, and unique to being a Saints fan. It's that hope, in the face of past form and present expectations, that you hold on to, that keeps you coming back week after week, rain or shine or under the roof. Why St Kilda? Because I love them, and because they are a part of me now and forever.
Agreed, loving their work lately. The tweet about the AFL website having server issues, which inturn affected saints.com.au from being updated was a surprisingly proactive move. I mean I probably wouldn't have checked in while it was down, but it's little things like that that make a whole lot of difference. It just makes me think that they finally care about this aspect of fan engagement. Their efforts certainly haven't gone un-noticed. They're updating so much I've actually found myself checking into the Saints app as my first port of news when I've been away from the happenings for awhile. Keep it up Saints.I wanted to mention this.
I have been critical of our media work before, but credit where credit is due. The post-match coverage has been very good and I hope it continues all season (and I hope they get access to the players to the same degree even after disappointing losses).
What we need to keep doing is letting the club know. I know if I am liking whats on their website I I give them the thumbs up and comment on their mediaAgreed, loving their work lately.

Sounds like a great move to get those leadership consultants in.
Big difference I am seeing this year is the buy in from the senior players.
yes, i was trying to think why there is such a big difference between reiwoldt from last year to this, and this must be part of it.
the consultants, the proper plan, kan understanding of where the club is at, a coach that understands his players, older and younger.
