If the Saints do “this” ….Then

[The Fireman]

Sorry guys I just wanted to start an inane thread with a leading question as it’s title

Seems to be in vogue atm.

So here you can add an equally inane and obvious response.

Go Saints

Can you use 4 stroke fuel in a 2 stoke mower just for one mow if you can't be stuffed using going to get the proper fuel?

Or should I pay the kid across the road to use his Dads mower?

Discuss.

If Saints drop out of the 8:
then only fate can get us back in - and why would fate bother to be so perverse; and
then the next carefully crafted letter from the President will advise a major review of all theme/special occasion events/prostituting our fixtures to FNQ. They may be just bundled under a general banner of Saints, the virtuous club, no cause left behind, please give; or they will be sprung as a surprise on the players after the game so there is no time to choke, which might mean locking them up for the week before under the guise of bonding.

So four stroke is safe to use?

I'm finding it interesting that many posters on both SS and Big Footy seem more or less to have given up on the game tonight and even the season. And this is in spite of the fact that many of them have seen their wishes come true in the selection of messiah Sharman and the omission - for whatever reason - of the much-maligned Hill.

Perhaps, beneath the superficial bluster, there is actually a general understanding that Hill is an essential player and Sharman is actually pretty mediocre.

I guess the presence of both Butler and Billings in the team is like a red rag to a bull for some. Thank goodness Kent didn't get a call up!

If we lose tonight, I think I'll probably stay away from SS for a while: there will be too much dumping on Ratten and some of the senior players for my liking. The one thing I'm positive about is that I believe the people who run our club at the moment aren't stupid enough to think that the solution is to throw all the toys out of the cot, sack everyone and start again.

I was fishing for the inane comments that one is a fail

The phenomenon you describe is one of the attributes of the footy forums I'm most attracted to. The way the internet coalesces group think in humans is fascinating. I suppose that's why the internet and social media is a wet dream for governments all over the globe.

But without question, the most fascinating sub plot of today's game is Sharman. If he kicks a clutch goal and we win then I think our odds for this year's flag will go through the roof. You know it makes sense.

Yes you can use 4 stroke fuel in a 2 stroke mower - just use 1/2 of it

We should have a BLM game and a MEE TOO game and a Roe vs Wade game followed by a Transgender rights game then a climate change game ( should have had that one already) then a dob in an anti vaxer game just to start with.

[desertsaint]

if the saints beat the swans then suddenly all is right again in the world. if they lose (which they will) then we'll remain the worst run club in the afl and we'll all be six foot under by the time we win a flag as the tassie saints. woe is us. or not. we'll see. carn the saints!

Unfair. There will be sober rational analysis, accepting the vagaries of injuries and the challenge of playing a 2021 finalist on it's own interstate turf. We will be philosophical, tinged with a little sadness. The caravan will move on quietly. Maybe.

The old man liked to tinker. He was always out in shed.
In the workshop, right next to all his burnt out 2 stroke tools was a spirit still.
Now, the old fella reckoned that equal parts of ethanol and grease was a good substitute for 2 stroke all. He told the old girl he was saving money.
Long story short, there was always heaps of ethanol around, heaps of broken 2 stroke engines, not much 2 stroke oil, not much grease and the neighbours kid mowed the lawn for years.

If the Saints let Sharman kick a "clutch" goal then King will kick 3.6 (that's just over 3&1/2) goals per game instead of 2.3 goals per game, then we win (see some other thread for the math).

Also IF you let me start the match thread THEN we win - simples.

Of course they’re not that stupid, but they do have form in backing the wrong horses in the administration department.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think Ratten is going anywhere. They can’t back Richo in for almost 6 seasons and give Ratts the push after 3 and nor should they. Hopefully they’ve at least learned from their complete fail in contract renewals.

I guess they must have, otherwise Ratts’ contract would have been extended last year.

"If the Saints do "this"..... Then"


We should all do "That" ??????

Whatever "THAT" is?

Hello son

[evertonfc]

I think the season is pretty much cooked now.

The idea that the club’s administration know what’s best for the club is jarring; we were repeatedly told to back Scott Watters, Alan Richardson and now Brett Ratten.

We just seem happy to be involved in AFL football rather than having any ambition about staking a claim for premierships.

That’s what’s dawned on me this year. This group of players and this administration would like to be successful but they’re not willing to do whatever it takes to become successful.

I think the season is pretty much cooked now in terms of competing for a premiership. We still seem a mile away from that level and we’ll barely make the eight, if we do at all.

Talk of Ratten getting a new contract is totally out of order. He has to prove he’s worth the enormous investment and so far, he hasn’t. Wait until the end of the year.
