Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?
Supporting the Saints is like buying a lottery ticket, with a poor return on the emotional investment. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest the Saints will win a premiership in the near future, and it's uncertain if they will ever win one. If supporters find the emotional toll overwhelmin...

Re: Do you enjoy supporting the Saints?
No, not really. After 2009/10 when we should have got one, it now feels a million miles away. I wish I could not care so much. I've taken to not watching games live very often, and following scores on my phone. I'm not sure there is another sporting side that snuffs out optimism with such predictab...

Re: MRP pisstake
Couple of minutes before the 3/4 time siren in the Collingwood vs WCE game, Bytel was dishing out a handball while a West Coast player behind him was trying to tackle him. Darling was facing Bytel as he approached and just 'accidentally' whacked Jack Bytel front on. Darling made careless contact wi...

Saturday Afternoon Fever, once bitten it stays with you. To be honest I've always enjoyed supporting the Saints, they make you feel alive or dead.

Re: Votes Discussion Thread
So he took 23 from the ruck + 37 Hit outs That’s 60 ruck contests he won I don’t believe that So did his kicks from the ruck contest not count - or maybe they were included in the 37 Hit Outs. HE TOOK THE BALL OUT OF THE RUCK AND KICKED THE BALL!!! That has to be counted as a kick - he had 24 kicks...

Re: Thank you St Kilda
Lastly, if you view sports fandom through the lens of “return on investment,” I fear you’ve missed the entire point. Sorry - maybe I missed making the point I was trying to make. We went all in in investing our time and hard earned in St Kilda - watching players drop marks, miss easy kicks, not tac...

Marshall was enormous 23 contested possessions A StK all time record - since that data has been recorded I believe that the 23 were all balls he took from the ruck and kicked particularly seeing as he only had 28 possessions - so it is hardly 'contested' - two players - one trying to tap the ball t...

Re: Thank you St Kilda
Some of you just don’t listen to the club and overlay your own agendas on top. Club has been very clear that we were “kidding ourselves” under Ratten and were further away than we thought. Ross was brought in to rebuild and we’ve maximized our draft hand in both drafts post Ratts. Club has been con...

Re: Thank you St Kilda
We are a lot further away than i realised. I thought we could be competing for a top 6 spot next year, and top 4 spot the year after. The reality is there is no timeline for a top 4 spot . Everyone knows we need to add at least a couple of high quality mids to the list. LDU + 1 more. We need anothe...
