I see much of this (percieved & real) attacking of our club as a positive. They are attacking our club because they believe we are not entitled to be successful. They are attacking us because they believe we will crack sooner or later. They are attacking us because of our historical lack of success. They are attacking us because they can't handle our success. They are attacking us because they are jealous of us.
The way I see it, they don't hate us enough YET.
I WANT St KILDA TO BE THE MOST HATED CLUB IN AUSTRALIA, BECAUSE WE WON THE FLAG IN 2010
BRING ON THE HATE BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY HATE US BECAUSE THEY FEAR US !!
Let them all HATE US !!

I said earlier this year I am actually glad we are hated and no longer everybodys second favorite team. Second favorite teams are like Melbourne and Richmond - serial disappointers that are no real threat.
I would rather be hated than pitied. I hope Baker punches Steve Johnsons broken spirit in the GF this year and that c**k head Billy Brownless has a little hissy fit still dressed in his leotard while trying to garner public support for his serious journalistic credibility.
Sorry I have officially lost the plot.

This is pathetic. I would rather other clubs admired and envied us because of our achievements. People may hate us but they don't envy or respect us because we have achieved nothing yet.
I was one appalled at treatment of Roo in Brisbane. I would be a hypocrite if I was not also appalled at Baker's action. That is not what I want us to be known for.
Achievement on-field is the only way to win respect and that must be at least two flags to match the Cats and as soon as possible.

I remember hating Hawthorn with such passion it made me feel physically ill.
Then it was Essendon.
Then it was West Coast.
Then it was Brisbane.
Now it's Geelong.

True, we still haven't won anything yet ... something I'm sure isn't lost on the players or the coach. But they would have to rate us as a premiership threat on our performances without Riewoldt.StSteven wrote:Rate us for what? Potential... ? I doubt it.bigcarl wrote:Great post Eastern. I love it.

Yep I would enjoy it of they hated us for winning the flag this year (that WILL happen), but dont youfind it frustrating that they seem to target us in the press and seem to get away with it. Its like we have a giant red, black and white target on us.
I love this club

The way people are carrying on you'd reckon Baker took to Johnson's wrist with a chainsaw and/or decapitated him with a Tysonesque roundhouse or two. The vision I saw had him offer a half hearted swat to the bloke's hand, maybe/maybe not catch his chin with half pulled jab and tap the guy in the guts in the manner pretty much all players do.StSteven wrote:This is pathetic.

Can someone explain to me what the big deal is? Am I missing something?

They don't hate us, they hate our game plan.
The ratings on Friday night sent that message loud and clear, the Doggies game is going to be hard to shake, as people have formed an opinion based purely on that game (which was also on the Friday night big stage) and vowed not to watch us play.
The general fear out there is that clubs will emulate 'saints footy' should it prove to be ultimately successful.
People want to watch something that mirrors the Essendon v Hawthorn match, even if a grinding contest like Friday can be it's equal, we have work to do to change people's preconcieved ideas as they are simply not watching.
There is one thing that will turn it around for us, and as much as people say let them hate us, we still need to appease sponsors and ensure good fixturing by putting on a spectacle that people will watch.
The thing that will turn it around, well his name is Roo.
He is someone (even if they won't admit it) that people tune in to watch. He is our x-factor amongst our 22 contributors going about their business, someone that BT would call a 'superstar'
It will be ok, don't worry

Let's just make one thing clear
here in regards to the Baker incident.
Lots of people are comparing it to the Nick Riewoldt incident up at the Gabba, but the reality is that Johnson took his injury into the game on
Friday so it was
quite reasonable for Baker to test out his injury as Johnson was deemed
fit to play.
Nick riewoldt was injured in the run and was attacked when he was evidently in a lot of pain and making his way to the
bench.
So as far as I'm concerned, if Johnson wants to take an injury into the match, it's fair game as far as Baker is concerned.
It's not the first time an AFL player has had a specific body part targeted, and it won't be the last.
The fact that it is Steven Baker and not Chris Judd is the only reason that he is coming under scrutiny.

what annoys me about the criticism is the implication is other teams could do what we do and win ugly if they wanted but for the good of game would prefer to lose pretty.
which is of course is utter nonsense.
if malthouse and knights etc thought they could win like us they would. they just cant execute like we can.
