Saturday morning I jumped into a cab without knowing the driver was a one-eyed Filth supporter. He started ragging on the Saints for the entire half hour I was in the cab. Kept saying our future is very gloomy because Ross Lyon "murdered" our chances of winning a Grand Final by leaving Luke Ball on the bench in the last quarter, the midfield kicked it to an outnumbered Riewoldt in marking contests, Raph, Kosi and Zac are the worst players around and how evil Milne is blah, blah, blah... This guy even harped on about Stan Alves losing the '97 GF for us. It was as though he has followed St.Kilda more closely than Collingwood.
After I paid my fair, he let out a "GO PIES!". I mean, I didn't say one bad thing about Collingwood the whole bloody ride. I decided to hold back and bite my tongue for the whole journey because it was too early in the morning to get into a fight with Travis Bickle's Australian cousin.
Anyway, I really hope that guy has been crying in his beer all night.
Wasn't it great when the announcement went around the ground, after the final siren at Docklands, that Brissie had knocked those bums off?
So glad the Filth hysteria is dying down.
May their losing streak continue. Hopefully the Dogs can rebound and kick them to the curb next weekend.
Saints win + Filth losing = a great weekend of footy
