[Jaded No More 60,196]

Ah St Kilda, if only keeping it in their pants was as easy for them as avoiding success.

Breaking news at St. Kilda: More strife as four players disciplined for breach of behavioural standards on the club's trip to NZ.

Watch this space.

Alcohol AND drug use it has been reported. Move over Eagles, there's a new rable in town.

Yes i heard a whisper this arvo but am unaware exactly what it is,after what happened last month-this will ruin them.......(hoping) B)

Such a proud club the Aints!

[The Big Ticket 94]

What the hell?

What is wrong with that club? Seriously.

[beelzebub 22,761]

StKilda...now officially Bogan central. What a joke of an outfit. Maybe they can get Sexyland and a mob like Pfizer as new sponsors !!

Some folk just dont get it. !!

From the article:

ST KILDA has suspended and fined four players - including grand final defender Zac Dawson - after they breached team behavioural standards on a recent training camp in New Zealand.

The Saints, whose pre-season has been dogged by the infamous nude photo scandal, have confirmed that Dawson, Rhys Stanley, Jack Steven and Paul Cahill misused prescription medication, drank alcohol and left the team hotel against a player established policy while on the week-long training camp.

They have been suspended from the club for six weeks and fined a maximum $5000 each after meeting with the Saints' leadership group on Monday.

What the hell is wrong with the Saints?? What the hell is right with the Saints?!

[Sir Why You Little 35,356]

Season in tatters already....let's hope so.

Can't wait to hear Steven J Peake on SEN...he will blow a few valves for sure!!! B)

[Whispering_Jack 28,128]

So the four players who have been disciplined are required to get jobs outside the club but will St. Kilda pay for their accommodation over the next few months?

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

This ones a storm in a teacup. Off season fodder for the media.

The Saints ought to kick their arses hard behind the scenes though. Just dumb behaviour that puts the Club in a poor light

Thank God MFC players have not demonstrated similar behaviours.

[beelzebub 22,761]

But it surely must go to saying that whaever policies and mentoring are in place at this club...its just not working. StKilda ,for those that have ever stepped a little closer than sheer spectating will have often observed a very strange culture. Its morphed over the years but its essence persists. Theyre a strange mob indeed.

It is I agree in itslef nothig more than a few lads being dopey!! lol. But taken together with other events it reveals a club in turmoil. I used to have a soft spot for the Sainters...but now they are just laughing stock !!

[drdrake 3,066]

Starting to sound like the West Coast Eagles of a few years back, the issues are becoming regular. The saints bubble has burst you can't keep getting this bad publicity. We saw Judd leave the Eagles, it won't be the Roo but if I was GWS I would be hitting Nicky Del and Lenny hard at the moment.

[beelzebub 22,761]

Maybe they just need some Bromide on their Wheaties !!!

[BAMF 3,922]

Does anyone know why they would use alcohol with sleeping tablets? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Radio Sport NZ. Just told us @therunhome that the #Saints players were in a scuffle as well as urinating outside of a Queenstown restaurant.

Channel Ten just said that the police wanted to speak to someone about bringing forward false charges - so I'm not sure there's anything in this one.

Thats It, enough,,, send them to QLD quick, & trade for Fev.. Bring the lad home & the saints may win a flag before they waste away.

Better yet, Trade Fev for Kozi. That in all seriousness could be a win win. for the saints.

You are assuming it has to make sense!

May just be that they are dick heads.

Truly. I think that is a given, old dee

Hmmmm... I'm starting to think TISM and I feel a paraphrasing episode coming on:

I know his dad's abusive

And his mum prefers the daughter;

I know he's got an attention

Deficiency disorder;

He is culturally excluded

And genetically inbred:

But the reason he's a sainter

Is because he's a dick head.

Tell me why?

Tell me why?

Tell me why... he's a sainter?

Tell me why?

Tell me why?

We all support empowerment

And positive discrimination

When your class, your race, your age, your face

Determine your social station;

A st kilda cap and a love of rap

Might need sympathy - but, still,

Possibly a sainter could be

A dick head pure and simple.

HaHaHa,,, nicely done. Can that be told with a celtic lilt?

I know players need a social life but it's a pre-season training camp NOT end of season footy trip!

Divisions in the ranks cost Saints

The area known as St. Kilda was named after a schooner, "The Lady of St Kilda" which was moored off the beach (near where Luna Park is today) in 1841. It was shipwrecked at Tahiti after sailing from Sydney sometime shortly after 1843.

How fitting?
