When you're clinging to a fading hope of making finals it might not seem like it. If you've already conceded the season then definitely. Last night was very educational... Armo and Cripps are part of our future, Siposs and Steven are likely, Dempster, McQualter and Clarke are not, and the sooner Blake and Baker retire the better. Give Blake his 200th and say adieu.
Oh, also - anyone who says the game has passed Milne has their head up their arse... I for one hope he has another three years in him. Irreplaceable.

Just a phrase uttered when totally drained and one that he'd probably regret this morning but I know what he means in the context of having a crack. I enjoyed our effort immensely.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

I went last night with the expectation of losing, honestly, thought given last year they towelled us by 68, and this time we were going in Lenny-less....
What I got was a contest, a tight fierce contest from some guys who appear to be finally mastering a slightly new approach, and also finally appear to be running into some form.
Saints fans have been spoiled, we had a time were we would turn up expecting to win.

We've had our shot for now. We was robbed, we blinked, whatever. We need to be smarter. As supporters I think we need to wise up to the fact that this year ain't about winning anymore, it's about rolling the dice on a fresh crop to make our bottom six a cluster of polished performers and weeding out the blokes who've held us back or been carried or who time has passed by. I suspect RL and the club is further advanced down that path than we give them credit for because we're so used to doing well week in week out.NoMore wrote:C'mon Thinline we have had years of "value for money" what we want is a flag.

But don't trott out this value for money crap. Call it exactly like that. Say "Geez there was alot to like about our kids tonight. Did you see Sippos' goal late under pressure. We will get there" Not the fans got value for money. We don't pay to watch them get close

He's not a freaking robot. He's a coach. He uttered a well worn phrase in the heat of a media conference after he'd just been through the wringer. Jesus, mate. You don't think you're reaching a bit??

If nothing else I was delighted to see an 18 year old on debut OWN a moment.
In an era of role players, that's kind of moment has been lacking.

It's praccy match time - winning ain't everything now.
Sippo reminds me of a young and raw Dal Santo circa 2002.

With a name like Siposs it wouldn't surprise if he ripped his jumper off and run like mad to the cheer squad then slid anlong the grass on his knees with his arms raised skywards. F*** I'd love to see an AFL player do that one day. Talkback radio would go nuts. Overnight sensation.Thinline wrote:Pumped!

The value is that we saw an inspired comeback, against a very good side. They gave it absolutely everything, it's an oval ball which bounces strangely, it was a great game of football, we didn't win, you can't ask for more
If you only pay to see them win, find a new team…
IMO - Last night was much better 'value' than the early win against the dogs last year - which was like being at the dentist.
