Too late now
Season is done
That’s the whole point

Wow Sydney Melbourne Melbourne Brisbane Adelaide
So tough

Then they had a bye and 5 Melbourne games in a row
If we had 2 in a row we would be happy

We literally have 6 in a row to finish the season.

And you're not happy.

What does that say?

Remember the good old days of a home and away fixture. One home, one away.

AFL trades on tradition while trashing the fundamentals.
Current umpires boss is a real worry. Corporate speak, corporate think. It's a sport pal, if Harvard Business School could deliver championships Alan Richardson would be a good coach.

We don't always have to play the victim you know?
It’s not the total season, it’s the concentration of when.
Our intestate travel is bunched and early in the season
Theirs is spread
Simple as that

It is definitely an issue
In a 29 day span Collingwood went Sydney - Melbourne - Melbourne - Brisbane - Adelaide...

Seriously, why do you have to cry about every single thing?
Well, you do. :lol:

The draw is never fair when Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon and Richmond all play each other twice every season.
All the interstate teams play the other team in their state twice every season.
We just make up the numbers after that.
However, if we want to stop playing Geelong in Geelong, then we need to have successful seasons where we draw crowds that would be more profitable at Marvel and the MCG.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

No bye until round 15 while a few teams have already had TWO byes.

But..

Gaslighters gotta gaslight.

Keep searching, I’m sure you can find even more things to cry about 😁

Funny how Sydney have travelled 6 times already this year, haven’t played 2 games in a row at the same place, and somehow managed to succeed!

If only they had supporters like ours who could tell them to focus less on winning and more on crying and making excuses! 😂

So the fixture is designed to limit our output.

I assume the perpetrator is the AFL who as you have already exposed is out to get us, makes sense since you have detailed on this forum the lengths they will go to derail our club, including but not limited to:

- Instructing umpires to cheat against us
- Direct Michael Christian to hand down greater sentences to Saints players
- Have the Tribunal factor in when the suspended players team plays St Kilda when determining sentence (ensure they will be available against us)
- Change the NGA academy rules to ensure we couldn't draft McKenzie
- Deliberately hand us bad fixturing to derail our chances of finals

How many people and resources do you think the AFL allocate to ensuring the Saints stay at the bottom where we belong Curly?
It would have to be a full time role for 3 or 4 staff wouldn't it?

I've got news for you Curly, the AFL don't have to retard us, we are pretty good at doing that to ourselves over our 150 year history.

Keep up the posting, you're almost as kooky as Killa, and that is saying something :lol:

The fixture is 100% designed to ensure clubs have a greater chance of making finals. To believe any different is naive.

Collingwood have an enormous advantage you only have to look at the last two weeks.

Bummers played eagles in Rd8. They play them again in Rd 15. Yet we haven’t played Shitney or Carlscum yet.
