Saints Tragic Gocsy, St Kilda & the Art of Backing Battlers

Aaron “Gocsy” Gocs is back on the couch to unpack his love affair
with one of footy’s great battler clubs: the St Kilda Saints.
From growing up a Broncos and NRL kid in Brisbane to falling in
love with Melbourne’s AFL culture, Gocsy explains how family
ties, Shane Warne, Eric Bana and a bit of self-imposed suffering
turned him into a diehard Saints tragic.


We yarn about his unofficial role with the club, shooting vids
with players, getting shouted membership when he was broke,
rubbing shoulders at Best & Fairest nights and copping it
non-stop from fans of richer clubs. Gocsy breaks down sports
fandom, why people act like they won the premiership, and why
following a struggler teaches you to actually enjoy the little
wins in footy - and in life.
