It's not respect, it's that St Kilda can't get enough inside men on the board to make the full change to their guernsey and nickname. The second Melbourne, Carlton and Hawthorn infiltrated the board and got the numbers, they took over.The Saints probably have much more respect for Sandringham than Carlton have for the Bullants. Sandringham are going to wear a St. Kilda jumper for games at Moorabbin IIRC. But St. Kilda probably recognise that there are no direct benefits to having a reserves team with their own name, other than continuity.
AFL Victoria couldn't care less about the almost 120 years the VFA were in operation, the fact Frankston forced their way back in after being kicked out would kill them, they want all of the old clubs to die or be taken over. If St kilda can't envelop Sandi, Coburg is next.
