Kumbaya sainters.





Sing it. You know you want to sing it.

No - a very vanilla finish. Got a little excited when Collingwood came back but I guess the lingering frustration of a week waiting for other results to unravel left enough uncertainty for me. Unlike 04, 05 and 06, when I had a huge emotional investment in our season ending losses, tonight feels ine...

Touchy

Not that there's anything wrong with it.




Back on topic - isn't this the thread were sad saints can come for a bit of tenderness and understanding?

Yep - we'll ramble off for a few weeks until we get a little too excited about some well built 17/18yo lad who most of us will immediately slot into our best 22 - regardless of where he plays. This is the only location I have to vent about this club without crumbling into a heap so I'll have to stay...

And let's move it quickly to the tall guys who can catch. Who knows... that may even work!

It's an all too familiar empty feeling after having achieved or shown promise for a couple of years. 1999 is a fair comparison on psyche for both team and supporters. We had no expectations from 2000-2003, every expectation from 2004-2007 and now... what? With respect to the make up of the team I'm ...

Sorry - I won't do Carlton even if he buys me a nice drink.

Got standards you know.



And we only copped it from about 9 other clubs this year anyway.

D.

When the season was on the line and the team was on the park - Collingwood, Sydney, Bulldogs, West Coast - we were not good enough.

I love you guys.

You complete me as a sainter.

You make me want to be a better supporter.









Bah. I guess pessimism IS in my nature.

Yep. Deja vu.


Bah.

What's the diff between premium and prime for GF day? I may fly down for it unless something awry happens and the AFL cheat us out of an appearance.

The comments about Matthew Johns being stupid are completely incorrect. He's a very bright and committed person who's far more intelligent that the comical personas he adopts for the footy show. He's also got quite a good league brain - much better than many used to give him credit for. He's also a ...

Not sure one person switching off would matter anyway (in my case I can't watch it because of the nighlty battle over which of Transformers/TMNT/Thomas) is showing on our box) In terms of hitting where it hurts it's interesting to see how the Christian Right in the US have marshalled forces to do th...

Sounds like the McDonalds defence!



I'm quite underwhelmed by them as well.

Ultimately then, Cowboy, for you, it's a question of priorties about your consumption habits and what you're prepared to compromise on, isn't it? I mean, if you have to watch footy, doing so on Seven probably isn't that big a deal...because you don't really have a choice if you want to watch footy ...

Market forces determine media. They are responsible to shareholders and out to make a profit. The ONLY way they will change things is if people vote with their dollars and cents. On a tangent and not disagreeing with what's been written - there's one tangible impediment to the whole "market fo...

How's the search for the question mark key going? Found it yet? Hint: bottom right.

That only works if you're shifty.

I assume that's Scott Noclue, head of the fair treatment for all committee at the AFL who sent the response?

The title set off a couple of warning bells for me!

A whole week?



Poor bugger.

The Daily Telegraph up here showing a still photo suggesting that Marty was pushed as he kicked, causing more damage than Buchanan intended.

Looks very bad - left the ground, targeted the head, very late.

Are you kidding?


Go Pies.
