More likely we are shite where ever we play, interesting that some reports are saying the aints are requesting more games at the G, why is that, to prove we can lose anywhere ?


Season 2024 is where RTB is showing the footy world his grasp of the modern game. :shock:

By and large it never has been accept over the golden decade of 2003-13’ish

And that’s because it rewards speed and skill, which we haven’t either in terms of players or game play/style for over a decade minus the odd player here and there.

The closed conditions of the ground promote run and carry, with your elite kickers hitting the chest of leading forwards.

It’s the style we want to see but we either end up carrying too many players that are poor by foot, slow, or we support a game style that doesn’t rely on our key forwards leading but rather than small forwards crumbing from congested packs

Be nice if we were gifted all the advantages those plastics were given with ribbons attached.
They're still sh1t and the hubris on their socials is actually quite laughable.

Their preview of the game, including game day is 3 pages long! :lol:

Well done to all the Sainters last night who made the last few minutes a cauldron! Real rusted on, die hard supporters!
It is a joke how the AFL are trying to manufacture a team on the Gold Coast who had about 7 supporters there and a drum.


Your friendly neighbourhood samurai.
