Record in marquee games
Since and including 2012 we have played in 15 Friday night games and lost 13 of them by an average of nearly 40 points (including 2 of 76 and 84 points )
3 ANZAC games and 3 losses
Now Good Friday
This does not include all those recent line in the sand games that have gone south.
There is an obvious issue when the footy world’s eyes are on us. It would appear to be beyond coaches and captains to lead us out of this problem. I would think it is a collective psychological thing.

Re: Record in marquee games
Terrific post and very interesting statistics.
This is a serious problem.
The image and reputation of the club is truly in tatters.
We are a laughing stock of the comp. We are in crisis. We are not attracting any new members.
The sunshine and fairy floss of the marketing department and the pretense that all is fine is one giant con.
We have become so irrelevant our only purpose is to even up the draw.
We need regime change.

Re: Record in marquee games
That is a joke. the saints I mean. Really the joke is on us, the supporters.
This weekend I needed a laugh. This joke, not the saints, did it for me.
"President Trump is walking out of the White House and heading toward his limo, when a possible assassin steps forward and aims a gun.
A secret service agent, new on the job, shouts, “Mickey Mouse!”
Miraculously, this startles the would-be assassin and he is, mercifully, captured.
Later, the secret service agent’s supervisor takes him aside and asks, “What in the world made you shout Mickey Mouse?”
Blushing, the agent replies, “I got nervous. I meant to shout Donald, duck!”

Re: Record in marquee games
Seriously. Our performances on FTA tv in the last five years have been a genuine disgrace.
We are now the AFLs problem child and if they want to a relocate a side it will be us.
And we only have ourselves to blame.

One saving grace is that it will most likely be Tasmania.
Something we should have done fifteen years ago.

and that car mob went really bad until the bean-counter was replaced...
Like Bains has done with footy clubs
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Was thinking the same watching this arvo, great game of footy. Fridays was a shocker bar the last quarter, for the neutral supporter.Con Gorozidis wrote:Contrast our efforts with today's marquee game.
A classic as usual.
