Just being polite and replying to people who ask me something.


That's the kind of guy I am.

Johnny wants to be seen as a cerebral supporter rather than an emotional one. He rightly questions why people become so attached to the outcome of a game played by 22 strangers, however, is not quite cerebral enough to ignore the whole AFL or in fact team sport thing...which seems the natural exten...

Honestly, what do you think when you see grown men on the TV at the footy in their colours, going nuts like madmen? Seriously, I find it utterly embarrassing. I reckon there's a good chance that a lot of those guys would find someone making 4K+ posts on a footy club fan forum utterly embarrassing t...

But I realise it's no good trying to change someone's mind when they are in the meltdown phase. Meltdown phase? Would you care to point how my attitude and/opinion has differed from the pre-season? Accusing someone of a 'meltdown' is a pretty soft throwaway line to hide behind when you don't like w...

Yeah I think you predicted earlier this year that no player on the list had any improvement in them so I know you'll cling on to that prediction to the death. Well that is just a lie. okay… Ok, I'll admit it - I'm cynical about our prospects this season and beyond. I'd argue that outside of Gresham...

Very interesting post on twitter this morning. The Saints have kicked more behinds than goals on 13 occasions this season, more than any other team. If we had of kicked straight, there's every chance we wouldn't be 11th on the ladder and in fact much higher up. So while people vent and rant and mel...

How do you think our football department system would have looked this year if we didn't add Carlisle, Brown, Steele and Stevens to the team? Exactly. Everyone here is claiming we improved from last year because we didn't have the 100+ point blow outs but that can be put down purely to Brown and Ca...

I have read the responses to my last post, and I still think there's a lot of overreaction here. I still consider that the club is generally heading in the right direction. We have to accept that we have a list with a lot of reasonable AFL-standard players on it: I'd suggest there are 20 or more of...

Anyone know who Adelaide's forward line coach is? Think we need 2 new assistant coaches and everyone on the list put on notice. Adding some real class to the team over the off season will help a lot. B.White looks like he's going to be quite a player for the club. Give it 18 months and he'll have g...

What a bunch of marshmallows. You all knew what you signed on for. There is no hiding our history. Wipe your eyes, blow your noses and get on with yourself. Even if you did get a flag you'd be sooking the year after. Ffs. Pussies. ? Do you think it's tough and brave not to question mismangement at ...

It's funny that you say people living through their football team is sad, seeing as all this negativity and calls for complete a complete rebuild is born from people getting too invested in a team That's incredibly naive. And as I said in another post - it says more about you than it does about oth...

Although the OP was obviously facetious, personally for me, 'the Saints' folded about 11 years ago. The 'club' was replaced with an AFL franchise. Like all clubs were. I was bitter about it for a while. But then as I found myself really enjoying other sports more, I realised that the 'sport is enter...

I don't agree with the 'they let me down' bit. I've always said, that the achievements of 22 strangers that are 10-20 years younger than me, is nothing to hang my hat on. If a footy club winning improved my life - then I need to have a good look at myself. It's like watching a sad movie - you might ...

Answer: Today. As an entertainment product, I'm not interested in watching this stuff. As a 'supporter', I can't support the rubbish that the coaches dish up each week. And as a sports fan in general, I can't accept the immature, amateurish rubbish that the players served up today. The problem is t...

Haven't seen Bluthy for some time. But he was right. I was wrong. It seems as though he was right all along. Coach devoid of strategy. Playing old guys too often. Not trusting the younger players. No plan B. Just 'pressure' and 'tackling'. Perhaps too intent on short term success, whilst losing sigh...

Both good posts. Truth is that Richo and co may want him playing a certain role within the team. We aren't privy to that of course. His injury hasn't helped. Oh the old 'secret role' furphy. Give me a break. It's not a furphy. It's a fact that coaches ask players to do certain things. We are never ...

Injury, role, ability or form, not matter what the excuse, Mav is not performing anywhere near the required level for AFL football. Our team is void of leadership at the moment and you only need to look at the form of some of the guys in the leadership group to understand why. Disagree. If the coac...

Well I am going to keep the faith just cause - I am a loyal supporter and just not an OBSERVER like the "Member" Just wish you would fluck off and leave this site to genuine supporters. I have had an absolute gutful of your snivelling condescending attitude. Why? Becuase you don't agree w...
