It fired me up that he has totally written us off - i reckon we will end up anywhere between 1 and 8.
The arrogance of other supporters annoys me; s'pose the only way this will change is if we get that elusive flag!

Yep my Cat mate is baiting me and you are right in that how the new coach and playing style plays out is unknown.....it is that time of year when this debate kicks off. He was offering me the odds for the Saints to win the flag; reckon i will take the 10's he offered on a top four finishphiltee wrote:Who exactly is at 20 to 1 to win the Flag ? The Cats ? They'd be about 5 to 1. Sportingbet has them at $4.50.
The Saints ? It's a bit of a raffle. New coach, staff, playing style, who knows. Again at Sportingbet, we're at $17.00.
Your Cats friend is baiting you, or is an idiot, or both.
Perhaps they've made the common mistake of judging the season before a shot has been fired. He or she is tiresome,
and a prematuire prognosticator.
Wait til the end of the NAB Cup then we'll know a bit more. There's nothing a punter likes more than exposed form.
Yep - as always insightful plugger ...but do you think we will make top 4plugger66 wrote:Lets face it one flag in 114 years suggests any odds are to low. Also the fact that you must eventually go down before coming up again makes any odds pretty poor odds. Top 8 is where we should be aiming. Top 4 is an absolute bonus and you cannot win it outside the top 4.

This sums it up to me - they have been in a very similar position to the Saints but for some reason they hate us but even worse do not respect us and as a Saint supporter that is want i want8856brother wrote:Geelong, it's a tough place to live at the moment. They are all very cocky and it's hard work trying to argue with them. All the people I work with are cats fans. They had it tough for a long time just like us. But unlike us they have been spoilt over the past 5 years and have tasted success.
The cats fans I know truely dislike our great club. I'm not sure why, but they seem to hate us more than any other side. They take pleasure in our pain. If they win again this year it will be time to move, if it's not already. I suppose it could be worse. I could be surrounded by Collingwood supporters
love this postR. Harvey 3 votes! wrote:I have heard these comments all summer from people at work, my mates, heaps of people. I now just don't bite back and just agree with it. Yep we will probably slide, miss the 8 or whatever is what I say, then they have nothing! I don't honestly think that but I can't be bothered getting all rialled up about it now! I am quietly confident that we will be a massive suprise though. We have a great draw, fit Lenny, a re-invigorated playing group. I will just enjoy the ride this season and if the ultimate happens well I will stick it up em all then once and for all!

What does our performance in 1897 have to do with 2012?plugger66 wrote:Lets face it one flag in 114 years suggests any odds are to low.

And why do you have to "go down before coming up"? If you are better than all the other teams in a given year you should win the flag.
