Provided the redevelopment of the Junction Oval goes ahead, and the Saints eventually march into their new digs, there will be one group of supporters particularly happy.
Craig Reardon has worked feverishly to gather a group of St Kilda members and supporters agitating for change under the slogan, ‘‘Bring `em home’’.
He believes the club would benefit enormously from at least, initially, having its stand-alone VFL team, set to take the field in 2016, based at St Kilda's original home ground.
‘‘To me, the notion of the debt-ridden club investing in Moorabbin is madness when the city whose name it bears houses what will be an excellent boutique stadium more than capable of staging VFL games,’’ Reardon said.

FRANKSTON had more forward entries and 10 more scoring shots, 32 to 22.
But Sandringham won the count that mattered, on the scoreboard at the final siren, in the Round 1 VFL match at Kars St on Saturday.
In an encouraging season-opening effort from the Zebras, they triumphed 17.5 (107) to 11.21 (87) in a game in which momentum swung back and forth like a pendulum.
Sandy were sluggish in the first quarter, struggling to take the ball across their half forward line, and should have trailed by more than 16 points at quarter time.

NORTHERN Blues opened their 2014 Victorian Football League season with a win on Sunday, mounting a massive comeback to take down Williamstown Seagulls at Visy Park.
Having trailed by 37 points midway through the third quarter, the Blues booted 10 of the last 13 goals of the game to pinch victory by four points, 15.11 (101) to 14.13 (97).
Carlton’s No. 13 pick in last year’s AFL National Draft, Patrick Cripps, starred for the Blues, finishing the match with 34 disposals, six clearances, five tackles and a goal that sealed the game late in the last quarter. He should be in line for a senior AFL gig very soon.
