9. Round 14: St Kilda v North Melbourne, July 1, Etihad Stadium
These two sides just plain don't like each other. Not sure why. Not sure of the background. But the Kangas always build themselves to play the Saints, and are then put back in their box once more. Fair to say that if North can finally get over St Kilda this time, they might be on their way back to the finals.
Something happen that i cant remember??
Have i missed something?

I dont like them or hate them, I nothing Norf. Could care less as long as we beat them.
They are one of the only sides I dont hold any feeling for whatsoever.

They would have to be way down the list of the teams that Saints fans hate.
Way ahead of them are Carlton, Collingwood and the Swans
Somewhat ahead of them are: Freo, the Cats, the Bombers and the Crows.
They are in a big bunch of teams we mildly dislike, along with: the Eagles, the Demons, the Hawks, the Lions and Port (and perhaps GWS and the Suns too).
Indeed, I reckon the Roos are on the way to falling out of that group into a group we tend to feel sorry for rather than actively hate (a group currently containing the Tigers and the Dogs).

Yep... they talk themselves up every time, and come crashing down with a thud.SaintJohn1956 wrote:They think they are better than us and hate it when they lose.
Part of it is that for a couple of years they had a tendency to "jump" us with a 4- or 5-goal to 1- first quarter.
After getting smashed twice in 2010, they started to fancy themselves again after shutting us down in the last quarter of round 15 this year. There was plenty of talk from their camp that they should have got us but suffered from a "kick it to Drew" predictability.
Round 23 was when they were going to prove their finals credentials. Slight problem... they got smashed... again.
Norf supporters regard Roo as overpaid, a "poof" and a "princess", yet their team makes him look like a champ everytime.
