Re: The club should issue an apology
It was very disappointing that we couldn't lift and make a contest for one quarter at least.
Whilst the match was well gone at half time, I thought that Pride and a tongue lashing by the coach at half time, might have had some impact in the third quarter. Perhaps by then, we were mentally defeated and it was all too hard

Re: The club should issue an apology
I was at Geelong the day we were beaten by in excess of 22 goals. It hurt, hurt bad, but guess what? The club didn't " end" and in fact got stronger over the next two seasons. Nobody, but nobody has to LIKE getting flogged, however the long term goal of the club should be what we're focused on. I'm ready for the Carlton game already! Go Saints! ( to hell with the rest)
St Kilda forever ( God help me)

Re: The club should issue an apology
Next week will be a big test for us Jiggs - from a "PR" perspective, as much as anything else. Let's hope that the boys can lift. Mind you, "injuries" are killing us, so let's see how far pure "enthusiasm" gets us.

Essendon game must have raised expectations.

Re: The club should issue an apology
The banner has already been made. It's just a white cloth with a few random letters stuck on, i think some were upside down. then in marker i wrote "looks like we both c b f working"WellardSaint wrote:I wouldn't blame the cheer squad, if they didn't make a banner next week,
Hell, even if they didn't turn up!
Just tell the players "We didn't know whether you guys would turn up,
you didn't turn up last week!"
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."

The cheer squad will be supporting the club like it has done
through thick and thin and thin and thin as it always has.

Re: The club should issue an apology
A loss was always gonna happen eh?
Two things
1/ was a 145 point loss always gonna happen?
2/ why play if we had zero chance and were going to get flogged? Just white flag it, have an extended break and not risk players??
<edited by mods> cop out! So is the men against boys crap.... We had 11 players who have played lots of senior AFL footy... Many in multiple GFs
We had supposedly talented young players
What we didn't have was effort...
You don't need to be more than 25yo to have a crack, you don't need elite talent to have a crack and you sure as <edited by mods> don't lose by 145 if you're having a farken crack
Unacceptable on every front
Never excuse that crap
<warning for swearing>

Re: The club should issue an apology
If this sort of thing had never happened before, (to other clubs as well as ours) if it was unlikely ever to happen again, then I would understand some of the (IMHO) hysterical stuff that's being posted. As I say, Keep calm, keep focused on the future, and above all KEEP SUPPORTING YOUR CLUB!

Re: The club should issue an apology
Nothing hysterical about making comment about a weak as piss effort?!
Just making a pretty obvious observation I would think
If we can laud good effort, we can question or condemn woeful effort.
West Coast in Perth
Good effort
Laying 25+ tackles each qtr of a game a good effort....

Re: The club should issue an apology
Not sure that the cheer squad did turn up. Very few of our members did. I am guessing half of the doom and gloom merchants on here whingeing about effort etc didn't turn up either.WellardSaint wrote:I wouldn't blame the cheer squad, if they didn't make a banner next week,

If at first you don't succeed, sky diving is not for you.

Re: The club should issue an apology
We all can support the club by questioning their lack of effort. It's called unacceptable and is the right of all supporters.thejiggingsaint wrote:If this sort of thing had never happened before, (to other clubs as well as ours) if it was unlikely ever to happen again, then I would understand some of the (IMHO) hysterical stuff that's being posted.
