News St Kilda to field standalone VFL team in 2026

[Yawkey way]

Curious to how vocal us supporters will be on VFL GameDay especially at Moorabbin. I envisage a decent amount of barracking, and mild to moderate abuse, now made possible in Saints colours with Saints paid players. Tell me it’s going to happen? Sandy was no man’s land for both lots of supporters. The Saints VFL is an absolute cherry on top! Can’t wait.

I think the team will pull good crowds at moorabbin.

I’ll go and I know plenty of others who will as well. I think the barracking will be pretty mild, more good natured than outright abuse. I liked sandy but that relationship never felt right, I’m glad we’ve moved on.

Just speaking to a Western Jets coach at the gym this afternoon
Moved to Newport, lost their captain to the country who offered him 100k for 16 games.
Some big money in country footy.

Exactly, their are a lot of guys playing country football on very good money.

The numbers I hear make playing vfl a waste of time for anyone other than a few kids with a realistic chance of perhaps earning a rookie list spot.

You should have asked him how many he took with him. It seems pretty common for a gun to arrive with a couple of very handy sidekicks.
