Post 5
More black and white filth as above.
Conclusion 1
Saints supporter, not terribly bright, unhealthy Collingwood fixation.
Conclusion 2
Troll.

Why do trolls do it?
It's believed that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.
Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.
For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.
Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?
Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!).

No need to panic just yet.
Also there is rumour doing the rounds that Nick's sister was seriously ill on GF2 eve hence his lack lustre performance in the replay.
ANyone heard it or got any info on it?
We have had Nicky and Stewie, Ross this year and now maybe Nick with family issues.
Why always us?
To many Saints supporters look for excuses....reality is, Collingwood were much better GF2.
I'd much rather (and I am confident it's the case) that solutions to our weaknesses are being worked on in the off season, rather than continuously looking to excuse.
No offence POC, but the 'why us' attitude won't help this team get any stronger.
Did the club make excuses or just the fans?
I believe that management including the President and board have placed too much faith in RL. It could come back to bite us if it hasn't already.
Hmmm placing faith in the coach...terrible thing.
Blind faith is without the necessary checks and balances. It's not a good way to run an organisation.
Question for you. Who should we have faith in?
That's up to you.
I'd like to know that the board and the CEO are taking a keen interest in the football department. I'm not saying that the're not but it should be perfectly normal for me to expect that they have an oversight role of both the coach and the footy department. As a fully paid up member, I'd expect that to be the case. I have heard the President say that he stays away from football matters. I'm not saying I want a loud mouthed president like Jeff, but frankly that line is simply not good enough. For example, it would be nice to know if the club did a review of the Lovett and Ball debacles. It's called due dilligence and corporate governance. All I am saying is that I hope they do these things as I do not have a clue.

they must be scared. Imagine if Jolly or Swan or both went down. They would be stuffed.

Just like saying the Luke Ball decision will come back to haunt us....it was not well recieved, he was hopeless, Armo would be better, Lovett was worth the risk, blah, blah.....thing was it did bite us...in the biggest way, and not a bit of pie was eaten.....
Collingwood have passed us in two years and are getting further ahead...why?
we have not addressed at least one of those, as this OP points out, I am suggesting the other aswell....game plan was on display in the GF
This is such a poor post.
Ball decision? You talking about his decision to quit the club.. twice? Or the clubs decision to offer him a three year contract?
Lovett was worth the risk. Maybe you havnt watched him play to know otherwise?
Maybe if we had the marketability & turnover of Collingwood we would have better recuiting and better training... But until we find another 15,000 supporters that all buy memberships and merchandise and poor money into the club - There probably will always be a gap.

i found the read very interesting....we obviously have more than just the odd one or two on here judging by your description.......i agree with the summing up of a troll's personality traits also......
.everybody still loves lenny....and we always will

Well I'm no troll, just because you get accussed doesn't mean you are. Its beyond me why people even bother to look at other teams sites., let alone pretend to barrack for them, there is no point to it.
And I still fail to see what I said that made someone think I was. Just because I have some concerns and don't have rose coloured glasses on doesn't make me a troll.
