Preview Round 17 St.Kilda v Sydney 3.20pm at Marvel stadium (Battle of the Lake )

[bedford]

So is that why you hate them so much? I always wondered why as, in my time following the game, they have been mostly irrelevant.

It goes way back . Personally my Father who played for them who i only met once deserted my mother when she was pregnant , she was South and was friends with many players and the weak rat got warned and never played against South again , she taught me to hate them . My Grandfather who was an ex Port Ruckman sadly was in a wheelchair or he would've killed him . Many other reasons going back many years involving the most pathetic club ever .

I hate Sunday games the most. It’s when I am most busy

 

[bedford]

The term I remember as a kid was not 'Battle of the Lake' but 'Lake Premiership' with the grounds at each end of the lake. Old St kilda ground is now training headquarters of the Bushrangers. Lake Oval now home of Athletics Victoria and South Melbourne Soccer club. State of the art athletics track around it.

Correct it was the Lake Premiership , but i thought battle of the lake explained it better . Beating them was like winning a flag

HELLAS

Those rats

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Those rats

I grew up supporting them. Always have, always will.

Will be playing the second leg of a back to back weekend of football on Sunday, pending rain.. will be a sore one.

I use to live next door to Greeks in Cobden Street, South Melbourne, they use to take me to their games when I was a young tacker.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I am not sure to this day why my parents decided on Mortlake instead of Cobden for that obvious reason when we moved out of Melbourne. Oh well, Terang-Mortlake Bloods >>> Cobden Bombers I guess.

I went to a few games as well . There disrespect to other clubs in Albert Park was a disgrace , thought they owned the park and now they call themselves SMFC , but there was only ever one of them !

Oh wow Bedders, that is so sad, I get it now.

 

[The Mares Leg]

I think they'll be more worried that we had that loss last week and will make them pay big time in redemption

King ruled out for the year…this will complicate things.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

He did a pcl

No he wouldn’t

Have you seen what players play with

 

[The Mares Leg]

After 2012 flag, the players were presented to the fans on the grass of the soccer pitch. Sacred ground. In 2005, it was at Lindsay Hassett Oval further up Albert park reserve. Home of South Districts.

I went to the 2005 presentation, Kirky was absolutely whammed!

 

[Kiama Chris]

I went to this, Kirky was absolutely whammed!

I was there too. There were a lot of them still whammed from overnight.

I was there too. There were a lot of them still whammed from overnight.

Mumford was late to the presentation in 2012. Can still see him running from a taxi to the stage in green fluro track shoes.

This reminds me of Kirk’s condition

The way King has played this year I’d rather him play

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Was there really a Saint called Kilda?

I’ve done a google search & it appears not.

So St Kilda should be known simply as “Kilda”. The Saint part is clearly a historical falsehood.

Alternately, rename them as “Punk Town”, which Wikipedia tells me St Kilda was known as, prior to 1842.

There's something about Ross Lyon that's off-putting. A bit like Rodney Eade. I can't put my finger on it but I would like to see him removed from the AFL, so I hope we pump them by 80+

Yeh, I can remember any win for us was like a Premiership, loved going to that ground, loved those hot donuts and nothing better than drinking water out of that old lions head fountain, yeh always love my Swans fabulous parking outside the ground, who could forget Cocky fabulous memories
