St Kilda - have they changed

[morgoth]

Seems a few of the boys are enjoying the party life, is the infamous social club alive and well? Why move if you did nothing wrong?

Saints or sinners?

THREE St Kilda football young guns have been forced to move house in a bizzare dispute with a Brighton neighbour.

AFL rising stars Nick Riewoldt, Justin Koschitzke and Leigh Montagna will vacate their bayside home next week.

Their departure follows a string of complaints to Saints' coach Grant Thomas about the players' off-field behaviour.

The disgruntled neighbour - a Melbourne supporter - has regularly contacted club officials since the trio moved into the suburb last October.

Last week he told the Herald Sun his family had been disturbed by loud cars and late-night parties, including a backyard bonfire that filled his home with smoke.

He later withdrew the comments.

It is believed tensions flared when the man's teenage daughter asked Riewoldt to partner her at a school formal.

St Kilda chief executive Brian Waldron confirmed the three players were leaving the rented home to avoid further clashes.

"They're going to move somewhere where there are normal people," Mr Waldron said.

"We're happy to wear anything our boys have done wrong, but in this instance they've done absolutely nothing."

The neighbour told the Herald Sun he was pleased the St Kilda trio were leaving.

"I'm happy its over," he said.

But another resident said he had no problems with the behaviour of the three young Saints since they moved into the neighbourhood.

Sen-Sgt Paul Campbell, from Brighton police, said he had discussed the matter with Saints' president Rod Butterss.

He said the move was in the best interests of both parties.

"The issue has been resolved, the boys are moving elsewhere and we haven't had to take action against anyone," Sen-Sgt Campbell said.

Well they have been progressive enough to change their guernsey for some games using yellow ... unlike some stubborn clubs who refuse to change as they consider themselves bigger than the game.

A helluva long trip from Echuca for training. Maybe they'll train with the Bombers and just go down on weekends.

Nah Kane it is just that you really have no histroy to be proud of. Lets face it if you can make an extra buck from it you have to take it.

It is up to the AFL to introduce away jumpers, not us. Good on you for doing it, it was your clubs choice. We have chosen not to and in fact cannot change without a vote of memebers and we all know how well that will go.

They have changed, they are no longer the bottom(worst) side in the league.

WE ARE.

FYI, I'm a Crows not Saint supporter! ie. I enjoyed the '97 Grand Final.

Most likely the reason for the father trying to create a media beat up

I actually think its a credit to St Kilda that they move them away rather than stick around saying that they have "done nothing wrong" and then waiting for tempers to boil over at some point in the future.

they are 20 years old and living by themselves Of course they are going to have people over for parties .. and the "bonfire" was more likely Kosi trying to cook some Satay Sticks on the Barbie

And look at your proud history since i've been on the planet. 1 Flag, coincedently the exact same amount as the Saints.

So much for your proud history. Nothing but a myth.

Or are you speaking of being the greatest chockers of any club since 1960. Or possibly the proud moment when Malthouse and Liceria disgraced themselves in the middle of the "G" last September.

Or mabye the proud history of racially abusing aboriginals, culminating in my avatar.

Or the recent proud history of your C/C sing "we are the dago blues", or telling Cupido to go sniff some petrol?

Geez mate I'd be proud of that long and great history

It's painfully obvious their next door neighbour is your typical pedantic tool and to make it worse he has a teenage daughter who woulda been making late night visits as soon as she was legal.

Over the top with that lot Joff. We'd be happy with their history - some of it anyway.

I think they've changed. They seem to be a lot happier with mediocrity these days.

Mediocrity is better than crap, which they've had a lot of practice at.

No Porthos, they have cleaned out the mediocrity when they sacked Capuano.
The rest of the list ranges from above average to potential superstar.

Lucky you don't include the coach on your "list"

up yours

Joffa

You really need to get out more and gain a sense of humour and perspective. I hope that one day you end up on street talk trying to take the **** out of same and making as big a **** of yourself as you do here.

As for history my friend, we outgunn you in every department barr one, wooden spoons. Dwell on that.

This could be the problem you know...they have to revert to this behaviour because the Saints disco doesn't exist!

what a surprise..... St Kilda players again in the media for all the wrong reasons... and 2 of their best young players at the club too. The club culture hasn't changed there at all. They are still an imploding rabble.

You know nothing about this, misdudd! The facts are probably beyond you, so crawl back into your cave. Enjoy the reflected glory of the WC on your oversized TV.
