Reduced to name calling but can't dispute the facts.
Typical.

Wasn't this said about Riewoldt, Koschitzke, Ball, Goddard etc ten years ago?
And Loewe, Harvey, Burke, etc ten years before that?
The never ending delusion of STK fans will never cease to amuse and amaze me.

Get used to it Saints fans. It will take a few years, and it'll be worse before it gets better. What do you mean 'gets better'? It never has and never will. Chin up man. Sorry mate. 45 years of waiting for this mob made me come to my senses. They are incapable of any form of long term and genuine s...

It never has and never will.

If they haven't won a flag, then see ya later.
A bit harsh, but I'm more worried about producing champion teams
rather than champion players.
Kotchitzke and Milne to go but not Dal Santo.
Try him in the back half for the rest of the season and see how that goes.

Just seem like typical self destructive St Kilda behavior.
Nothing new, been doing it for 140 years and will never change.

500 years would be more accurate

I think a lot of people, like me, have come to realize that this club is never going to win another flag and just can't be bothered anymore by a club that just doesn't care about being successful. And I've copped some idiotic abuse from plugger (appropriately named) so those two reasons may be why a...

Anyone remember Goddard being angry at Luke Ball for leaving? Especially, in the 2010 NAB cup game? What goes around comes around Brendan... I can remember (vaguley) this bunch making some sort of oath/committment around 2003/04 about staying together until they won a flag. I wonder how this is goi...

Storm, 4 flags (two if you want to be technical)
Fainters 1.

Yeah, I can see how winning 1 premiership is more exciting than 2/4

Can't be Dumbmetriou, he doesn't believe it exists. So it must be the mental midget.

Embarrasment, humiliation and misery.
These are usually thought of as being 'emotions', or 'a state of mind'.
But as you grow older, they will become the millstone that will effect your entire life as you watch STK let success
slip through their brittle fingers.
Run boy. RUN!

Would have been nice if there was a flag or two amongst this run....like really successful clubs.

I'd prefer to dish out hidings like this to the Adelaides, Essendons, Carltons and Collingwoods of this world.
And in September too....

It's a pity it didn't have 120+ PREMIERSHIP players on it.

Right club, wrong margin.
Try 190 points against Fitzroy @ Waverley, Round 17 1979.

Roos is right, but they have underachieved for nearly 140 years, not just this one.

They have had their time and era, good luck to them, just waiting for us to do something similar.

Like me, I think you'll be wating too long.
45 years+ for me and I'm over them

'we friggin capitulate again'

Get used to it Tef.
I put up with it for 40+ years before I realised that leopards don't change their spots.
Instead of following STK, do what I do and start banging you head against a brick wall.
It's a lot less painful than barracking for the Fainters.

you too??

And me.
I can see every member of this team passing before they win another.
I will pass on before they fluke another flag.

No.
And I have come to the conclusion that I won't live to see another.

A chance blown?!
No, 1997 and 2009 were chances blown.
This year was just another jellyfish performance.
But that's been typical for 140 years so I don't know why some people seem surprised.

He also quotes 'Sheeds' as saying STK were animals.
Sheedy didn't join Essendon until 1981.
I'm studying to be a proofreader and with columns like this, I will be a rich man, VERY quickly.

You're right!
I have cheered up.
I've stopped watching STK as well, which makes me doubly happy.
