Suck on that AFL and your FIXture!!!!!
Despite being bent over like no one's business with six day breaks and being spent beyond belief, we lost by amazingly only 4 points.
The best team won tonight regardless, but you'd think with this software they have to create the FIXture the numbskull buffoons would make it slightly more equitable.
Who knows if it would've got us across the line, but the word "fair" is verboten in AFL land clearly.

"fair".
That's all I'm looking for. We may still have lost but with the extra time for recovery it may have been the difference (we only lost by 4pts FFS).

Re: Suck on that AFL and your FIXture!!!!!
Fair has been the word I was searching for but then again Fair and the AFL don't mix.
And to Channel 7 and don't start me on that crap call of the game, either Brooce or Denis who made an lamost backhanded comment in the third quarter along the the lines of course Adelaide is coming off the bye and the Saints have a six day turnaround.
Fair and equitable is all we seek.

Re: Suck on that AFL and your FIXture!!!!!
I find it annoying that Collingwood and Essendon and probably the new love child Richmond, don't have the maximum 6 day breaks (10) and 6 interstate trips every year.
If that match last night had been at Etihad with Adelaide on a 6 day break (and 4 of the last 5 rounds) I think we may have had a different result.

The AFL is a business, and is really for entertainment purposes only.
The filth get ALL the advantages, because they have the most monkeys to entertain.

I couldn't give a rats tossbag whether we are featuring in the game or not. 90% of radio/television commentary sucks anyway.

Re: Suck on that AFL and your FIXture!!!!!
I can understand umpires making mistakes in the heat of the moment. BUT, the commentary is unforgivable, they barrack against us regardless of whether we are winning or loosing. BT is the worst, McIrvaney isnt far behind and Commetti should worry about whats going on with the game instead of trying to be funny.

I reckon the problem with 7 is there is just too much going on. Two commentators, 2-3 special comments men, 1-2 boundary riders who also give special comments. Interviewing injured Players/coaches during the game! Then a different set of game analysts during the breaks. All the while everyone just fighting to get a word in.

Re: Suck on that AFL and your FIXture!!!!!
The way I see the FIXture is this;
If we want a better/fairer FIXture we need to be in a position where we COMMAND a better/fairer FIXture in the eyes of the AFL. This should NOT be confused with DEMANDING a better/fairer FIXture from the AFL. If the AFL thought that they could make mega bucks (as an organisation and individually) by giving St Kilda a better/fairer FIXture they would give it to us gladly. some of the areas where WE could help our own cause would be;
Grow our membership to somewhere in excess of 50,000 in the short term and keep it growing
Attract large crowds no matter who we play, or where, or when
Play attractive-winning football
Be free (or seen to be free) of controversy
Have a powerful & influentual President/Board-Be heard
Win a Bloody Premiership, or 3 or 4 or .............
I'm sure others could add to this list

Re: Suck on that AFL and your FIXture!!!!!
Everything your saying is correct eastern - however our fixture is an unfair hindrance on many of those things actually happening.

Re: Suck on that AFL and your FIXture!!!!!
So lets get this straight. The fixture is unfair for just about every side but lets have the best whingers. SP I am sure you will win as far as people backing you up on this but as you said the best side won so what is the problem. Our issue is 6 day breaks, other sides play the top 8 many more times than us. hey better to whinge though. Its makes some feel better.

And this whinging about 6 day fkn breaks

Pathetic excuse - we ran over the top of Adelaide, not the other way.
The bye seems to be worse than a 6 day break because Adelaide was absoluting belting the Saints all night, but completely blew up with about 10 minutes to go.
Dont see anyone whinging about us playing GC twice were many play them only once.
Lance or James??

Im saying that every club can find faults. Would you rather play 5 sides in the 8 twice or 2 sides in the 8 twice and 2 sides in the bottom 3 twice but then have a heep of 6 day breaks? It maybe just me but i would go for the 6 day breaks and play a few ordinary sides twice but other may be different.

And they could have easily had the Blues Eagles match on Friday instead. AFL just trying to be greedy. No reason to stretch out 6 games over 4 days, just stupid IMO.SaintPav wrote:Last nights game could have easily been played tonight..
