by Yvette Wroby There’s no shortage of crazies at the St.Kilda Football Club. This was proven when 1000+ Saints fans and members rocked up to the St.Kilda Beach front at 5 am Tuesday 8th November for an advertising shoot for 2012 Membership Drive. At 6.30 am, another group was waiting at Frankston beach, and at [Read more]

Scott Watters as the new messiah and dreams of old messiahs.
October 17, 2011 by 6 Comments
There’s a new boy in St.Kilda town (sans Moorabbin, sansSeaford) and his name is Scott Watters. For the last two years he has ably assisted Mick Malthouse (and beaten St.Kilda) so at least he has some experience of us. Albeit from the other side. Readingthe online ABC news, Watters is 42 (a babe as is the [Read more]

Prelude How can I, as a mad Sainter, not begin this piece with reference to the last two years. It’s not just me, blasted Channel 10 kept showing the highlights of this years contenders last premiership battles, and the Saints happen to be the patsies that were beaten in their path to glory. The [Read more]
Footy Pictures by Jim Pavlidis and lunch with my mum

by Yvette Wroby I love meeting the real people at Almanac events after I have read their pieces or seen their art work. There’s a community of twisted, interesting people all linked by words and creativity. So I took my Mum on Saturday to Jim Pavlidis and his fourteen wonderful, iconoclastic masterpieces. I [Read more]

No expectations…no worries
August 28, 2011 by 8 Comments
No expectations….no worries (or from the toilet to the sky –a super performance) With the press in full flight this week of doom and gloom for St.Kilda, and North Melbourne’s good performances, Saints fans like me were quite reluctant to feel any confidence. A good six weeks after a nightmare year, a run in [Read more]

The Saints March in and over the Crows

Oh When the Saints…* Oh When the Saints……have belief, effort, run and spread, and poor Opposition…. In the next few weeks, I will be rocking up at my daughter’s school and hear how she is travelling in her Year 11 studies. We will talk to each teacher and get a run-down of what is working [Read more]
Sandringham gets done

by Yvette Wroby It was a sunnier morning on Saturday when we were preparing for a local VFL game, Sandringham Zebras versus Northern Bullants. Having gone for the first time a fortnight ago, this time we knew what to prepare for. New provisions were our two fold out chairs for comfort, our two [Read more]

Don’t play the same team that Geelong keep beating. Other than Stevens, all were older and none the wiser playing against the top team so far this year. Don’t kick out of bounds. If you are going to pick up a Geelong player, can we get a better one please? Don’t expect the old guard [Read more]
The Slow Journey From Hope To Joy
June 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment
I’ve been writing about hope for several weeks. My fellow writer and muse John Harms has suggested I read Victor Frankl’s Man’s Search For Meaning and then the wonderful yarn by Brian Matthews: A Fine and Private Place. Victor’s book is about a man’s search for understanding the suffering at the hands [Read more]

Yesterday, on Saturday 4th June, I joined a friend from the budding Glen Eira Artists Society at a stall in Carnegie. It was part of the support provided by friends and colleagues and community to the artist Anthony Breslin. Several years ago, Anthony used his life savings and substantial borrowings to buy an old church. [Read more]
Winning and losing at the same time.
May 30, 2011 by 4 Comments
Is there such thing as winning without casualties in 2011? It’s Sunday night and we’re watching my sister’s team, the Doggies, being pummelled the Hawks. It’s awful to watch and I know the feeling of suffering. Her first sms was: Sigh. Her second was: I should write for the Almanac too so that I can [Read more]
