Lets bE Honest! Its the Supporters
Lets be honest, (some of)our supporters suck. Of all the supporting skills, such as backing your team, giving the young guys encouragement, keeping calm instead of desperate panic, barracking under pressure, applauding an honest contest rather than bemoaning a loss. These are the things that we used to do....when we had a winning team....its the supporters....
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

"..I said to them. Thats not what we are about. James said he could source some good supporters from a New York doctor, but I said thats not what we are about.."

Re: Lets bE Honest! Its the Supporters
Bring on the Peptides Joffaboy!!!!
Lets be honest.....what else can we do other than get behind the club at times like this? I'm going to be there on Friday night, I'm not wildly overconfident about our chances of giving Hawthorn a towelling, but until the final siren goes who knows what may happen?!
I'm upgrading my membership for 2014, back to a 16 game, SC, reserved seat. Yeah mate, you're right it IS the supporters!!!!

Black Ops...
You can listen to Bristle tell you Carlton are still a massive chance at 28 points down with two minutes to go, you can listen to him tell you all about Lorne, or you can watch a monkey on a pushbike...I know which I prefer...

They also sang "The Last Time", which is clearly a reference to our 1966 Premiership...thejiggingsaint wrote:As the Stones sang..."You can't always get what you want"
Which wouldn't be the Last Time if our supporters didn't suck
Black Ops
It all fits...

Re: Lets bE Honest! Its the Supporters
This thread is close to the mark. To be more accurate it has more to do with some our supporters not knowing a damn thing about the game and or the appreciation of a players worth.

Hate to say, but the Stones lead single off their 2012 50th Anniversary CD?
"Doom and Gloom"
Yeah, it all fits now...

No this is the song, after all many believe we get crucified every week.
Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

"Jumping Jack Stevens"
Milne is an absolute champion, no greater small forward has ever graced an AFL ground.
Riewoldt is better than Royce Hart, Ablett senior and Carey combined, all the set shots he misses are due cheating by the AFL and the umpires.
Our player are all perfect , it is the system, the KGB and the moon and the stars that keep us stranded on 1 measly flag.
Ah well, did my bit now I feel like a true supporter just like +the fireman"

Re: Lets bE Honest! Its the Supporters
Agree with the tone of the thread entirely. I have been going to Saints matches since Baldock's first season; still have vivid memories as a young boy of the first match at Moorabbin.
I've talked my boss into having a few hours off so I can drive home (1/2 hour) get my daughter out of school early (another 1/2 hour) and catch the train to tomorrow night's match (another 2 1/2 hours). With Buddy out we might escape with a 12 goal thumping before a 3 hour trip home. At least I can enjoy the quality father / daughter time which is likely to be more memorable than the game.
Also, great to see a grown up in Blakey back to shore up the backline. He'll rest easy tonight in the knowledge he doesn't get monstered by Franklin.
To everybody else, just go to the game and enjoy the occassion even if you mightn't enjoy the result.

I'm confident we can hit up top 4 again in the not too distant future.
