Guess the f@rkety f@rking f@rk what. No they f@rking wonât. They wonât turn it around. This is the St Kilda Saints. There is no happiness here. We will not pull it out.
We will leave it in there and the next thing you know youâre 33 years old with seven kids, living in a 50-square-foot flat, married to a semi-retired hooker from Frankston, getting blasted on Carlton Dry BECAUSE YOUR DAD NEVER TAUGHT YOU THE OL COITUS INTERRUPTUS.
Ya wanna know what itâs like being a Saints fan? Itâs like getting ready to have sex with a girl and she slips your **** out of your pants, starts to **** you, then yanks the zipper up on your pants as hard as she can.
donât tell me itâll get better. donât tell me how to feel my feelings. I donât want to hear âKing is one of the most exciting players in the leagueâ. And I donât want to hear f@rking a f@rking thing from literally any other fanbase in the league.
F@rk you. I donât want to hear about how we donât have a winning culture. WE HAVENâT WON A PREMIERSHIP SINCE PEOPLE STEPPED FOOT ON THE MOON.
One day Iâll die and the misery of being a Saints fan will be over. Iâll be walking to take my place in heaven, Iâll walk up to the pearly gates, full of bliss and happiness with all my suffering over.
there will be sweet calming music, and then all of a sudden from out of nowhere Iâll hear Dennis Cometti say, âhe came up behind him like a Librarian!â. The music stops, dread fills my stomach, everything turns dark.
Just then, a bright light shows up and Nick Riewoldt appears. I feel the warmth again, everything will be alright. He leans forward as if to tell me something wonderful and whispers almost inaudibly, âoh when the saaaaaaaintsâ.
then he kicks me right in the d**k and shoves me off the edge to fall into a red and white room with my eyes taped open to watch the Saints get agonisingly close or s*** the bed every year until the sun expands and engulfs the earth.

In a lot of ways this is worse than the 111 from last season, and that signifies that we haven't gone anywhere in more than a year. It's beyond frustrating and just depressing now that the club is openly accepting and treading water upon consistent mediocrity. More-so because I actually rate the position of the list and I think that most of these guys really do have the raw ability to be much, much better than this.
I don't have the faith in Ratten any more, and it's an absurdity that he has clinched two more years in the midst of all this s*** going down now. Contract negotiations should have always been sidelined to the off-season from the get go, regardless of where the actual season was at, and a new contract should have been, fairly, strictly conditional on a finals appearance. One year for top eight, two for top four. We have the lesson on hand by wasting five years on Richo, there are no excuses for Ratten in not getting anywhere by now.
Not as much as the actual result, but it's the fact that the same problems inherent in the playing group for years on end persist and have not been addressed or resolved. We still f****** suck at using the ball, the exact same way we did five years ago. We still over commit to this scrappy pressure game where it takes too much effort to win possession, only to turn it over often and not get the scoreboard nourishment in return for the effort, the exact same way we did five years ago. We still have no identifiable structure, or Plan B, or tactical flexibility, the exact same way we were five years ago. The playing group openly drinks their own bathwater after any vaguely impressive win, nay any vaguely impressive performance, and will routinely refuse to turn up and put any effort into a routine game against a bottom side, the exact same way they were five years ago. Any real improvement you can identify can really, safely be attributed to the natural development of players that would have happened anyway, see Steele, Sinclair, King, Battle, Wilkie and Gresham for example. I don't think there's anything good here that Ratten can confidently say he had a real hand in. The absolute garbage we are provided by con-artists like Butler, Membrey and Hill notwithstanding, although that is self inflicted in the fact that the coaching staff refuses to drop them even when they contribute absolutely nothing for months at a time.
I don't know where to go from here because I don't think we will go anywhere under Ratten or the higher leadership that has bought into him. The two years he has been given is an unambiguous signal that the club management considers this acceptable and will settle for it. There have been desolate, despairing, and depressing times as a St Kilda fan but in a lot of ways this is the worst moment so far. I have never had such little hope in both our short term and long term future from where we are and seeing how the club is being run.

One half of the state hates the other half, whilst the other half doesn't know that there is a northern part of the state, and cares even less.

Re: If you think the depression on this site is rampant
I made a post here a month ago. It went something like
'It's time to stop giving a sh#t'
I have pretty much stuck to that. I was over it then, but I saw no point in vilifying the coach and the club then, and I see no point doing it now.
I made a vow a couple of decades ago that I would not let the fortunes of my football club determine my mood. I go bonkers when I'm watching it and froth at the mouth like the best of us, but when it's over I can just shrug it off.
Im sure those at the club feel the pain of such poor performances. It's their reputations that are damaged, not ours.
So, I'll continue to pay my membership, but I will not have any expectations. I have zero influence or agency around the club's fortunes, so why carry that load on my own aging tired shoulders?. That's for the club itself.
