This is the first season I have felt completely disillusioned by the admin of our club... couldn’t bring myself to even waste time at a game, after witnessing what u viewed as our players not trying ie Kangas game, Sydney game. First year I have ever done this in 20 odd years.. call me a campaigner but couldn’t bring myself to go last few..

This was the worst season I can remember and I remember the eighties.

Combination of performance vs expectation.

On top of that, some of the behaviours coming out of the club, specifically in regard to coaching... Just plain horrible.

I mean offer up the Geelong game where they didn't even think the midfield could compete.

Lowlights:

The Good Friday game.
Weeks 2 - 23
Roberton
Bruce
Our list.
Six tackle Jack.
Goal kicking.
Field Kicking.
Game plan.
The list again.
Sandringham.
Alan Richardson press conferences.
That fkn Holman jingle after a goal.
Match day bulls*** in general.
That hopeless eternal, soul sucking football optimism.


This was the season where I was going to be setting up my kids to engage, instead I get a 4yo that knows nothing about football asking why they never win.....And then not wanting to go to games.

Good Job Saints. Really good Job.

Very fine line between 'ruthless' and 'reckless'.

Yeah. I call bulls***. Couple of token moves that’ll be it.
Yep. You were saying?
More to come.
