[stinger]

...sick and tired of losing grand finals...especially two in a row ffs......went to the 97 grannie...followed it up with the 98 pre season grannie out out waverley when carey tore us a new arsehole in the last quarter..and now 09/10 ffs.....gawd i hate those last quarter fade outs when some hero on the other side makes himself into a flowering legend at our expense...keddie, jarmen, carey and now f****** hall....will the list never end....wtf is our hero.....

[Spinner]

Yeh, thought about this too when u brought it up previously.


Remember that game...Bloody hell!


Also similar is the fact we won the preseason in 96......and in 2008.


History repeating.....

Everyone was sosure we would be in a GF soon after the 97 debacle..13 yrs on we have made another one....can everyone here be around for the next one in 13 yrs?
If we are lucky.

[HarveysDeciple]

You need luck to make a grand final certainly.

And whatever way we paint it we missed a hell of a chance last year.

However half way through 98 we were looking excellent. Sitting on top. 5 wins in a row, everyone up and about.

Then inexplicably it collapsed, it appeared from the the outside that their was a lot of infighting between players and coach etc, volatile characters like Hall and Winmar went awol.

And also if you read Stan Alves book it was ticking time bomb between coach and board.

One would imagine such a disintegration is beyond this group.

[saintspremiers]

We should've prob lost to both Collingwood and Sydney in the first 2 games of the nab crap.

Lucky to have made it to the final game.

Surely people are joking when they think we lost another GF and it hurts as much as last September.

We dont want a Silverware cabinet full of Pre-Season Premiership Cups and barely any real Premiership Cups,an Essendon supporter at work was tormenting me about that very subject during the week...

Can't really , convincingly , defend a club that's made losing an art form or one that has a habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory....

I don't think they are............................just re-ignites the pain of 09 GF

certainly has in my case...

plus so many on this forum just think we will just automatically make it this year....

My experience tells me it will be so bloody hard

hence the reaction last night and today..............not so much re last night
but 09 and how hard it is.

I will be more upset if we lost round one. Surely losing the GF of practice matches takes at least 10 minutes to get over. Will never get over 2009 GF.

Not surprised, if thats your mindset

Try... "Im a proud St Kilda supporter til the day I die, I wouldnt care if we finished bottom every year because im a LOYAL fan who sticks thru thick and thin...and doesnt think the world has ended cos we only won three outr of four preseason games!!"

If we are lucky.

12 years not 13 And I can feel your pain stinger.

However, different team, different coaching staff, lessons learnt.

New era, new day. This team can and will win a flag.

Good night.
