As a Saints member, there is nothing more exciting than listening to the roar of the crowd at a game as the Saints’ faithful cheer in unison to support our team. The smell of hot pies fills the air as the crowd makes its way to the seats before the starting siren. Thousands of spectators lean forward with their eyes glued to the field as the players leap through the air to take spectacular marks. Throughout four quarters strangers laugh and clap together as though they have been friends for years. When the final siren buzzes through the air supporters celebrate the victory they’ve witnessed by chanting the club song as loudly as possible.


Five years ago I never would have imagined that I would become a St Kilda fan. I had never taken an interest in football until my grandma surprised me with a St Kilda membership. Ever since I attended my first game I have been hooked on watching the football. Each week I am excited to see the team run through the banner and watch the players take on their opponents.

It is amazing how complete strangers can bond and unite over a game of football. Over the past few years I’ve met amazing people who have become a part of my Saints family. Though we do not share the same last name, we do share the same passion for supporting the Saints. I have shared some unforgettable experiences with these people such as members’ days, open trainings, season launches and even Best and Fairest nights. Each week I look forward to catching up with my friends while we cheer for our team. For me, the best part about being a member is not the things we do but the people we do them with.

I remember when I went to my first open training at Moorabbin. It was cold and windy throughout the day but I was determined to stay. I am glad that I did because I met two people who I have remained friends with ever since. Many training sessions later I have developed a love for photography and each training session I challenge myself to capture the perfect shot.

As the months pass I am becoming more and more involved with the club. I am now a member of the female supporter group called The Angels, which has welcomed my family and I with open arms. Each month we gather together for a meeting and raise money for different charities and causes. This year I have begun sponsoring Tom Ledger and through this I have attended many unforgettable events such as the Mornington Races. I am currently doing work experience with St Kilda and I can honestly say that I am loving every minute of it.

Go Saints!
