It's Called the Asterisk Cup for a Reason

[Cordz2]

Other Asterisk Cups in the AFL period:

'91 Hawthorn -- salary cap cheating.
'92 WCE -- state team, steroids
'93 Essendon -- salary cap
'94 WCE -- state team, steroids
'95 Carlton -- salary cap cheating
'97 Adelaide, because they beat us.
2000 Essendon, salary cap cheating
'01 Brisbane, COLA, Fitzroy merger
'02 Brisbane, ditto
'03 Brisband, ditto
'05, Sydney, COLA, Barry Hall not suspended
'06, WCE, high as kites
'07, Geelong, mysterious supplements, Dank, Dr Ageless
'09, Geelong, ditto
'10 Collingwood, Human growth hormone
'11, Geelong, mysterious supplements
'12 Sydney, COLA
'16, Western Bulldogs, umpires

So true - add Richmond ‘away’ MCG games to the list.
GWS compromised draft and finals wins have knocked a few out of contention

Asterisk cup or no asterick cup, there doesn't seem to be much love for the Saints on the AFL website.

I've seen two fawning pieces on the Blues (filth) and the Flogs, both who we accounted for very comfortably.

While Matthey Lloyd said he thought the victory over Port was the win of the year, I think it has not been given the credit it deserves.

No wonder I don't usually read the drivel on that site.

The AFL website is absolute shite. Why anyone reads it is beyond me. It panders to the bigger clubs and their larger supporter bases who no doubt drive ad traffic/revenue to the AFL. Fvck that.

I'm quite happy for us to fly under the radar this year TBH. It takes away the weight of expectation.

I had a moment of weakness in ’unprecedented’ lockdown.

We’re in uncharted waters so I guess anything can happen.

Yeah. Hope so but if we keep winning hard to do.

I wish I could keep under the radar sometimes, but people keep ringing me.

Every show and podcast I’ve seen or listened to this week has featured us.

Although there was an article on Fox Footy about report cards and possible finishing position on every club. They gave us an ‘A’ but had us 4th to 9th. Every other team bar Port (can’t go up) and Crows (hopeless) had potential to climb the ladder.

Ok but I prefer outrage and self righteous indignation during these ‘unprecedented’ and dark times..to which you should respond:

Good luck with that!
