last word on this ... i dont forget the 90% of the time when you side with the club i dont doubt you love the club and want the club to do well , i think you just choose to always go with the opposing view of the rest of SS .. if the forum is excited by something you see it as a negative , if the forum is angry at something you see it as fair , if the forum is critical of the club your on the clubs side .... you would be hard pressed to find a post on here where your views are not against that of the majority of posters ....

Getting back to Jason.....

if this guy becomes even a vaguely good player I think he could be great marketing material for the club.

Yes when you agree it means so much when people say +1. That adds so much and anyway i disagee with what you say. To prove you are wrong I dont often agree with BM and neither do most people but of course thats different. he doesnt annoy you like I obviously do. If you are looking for someone who is against most people and bags the club then jump on him. The funny thing is you help the club and I did for 15 years. We should be brothers in arms.

He speaks well. Didn't say much, not a very in depth interview. Comes from a very sporting family. He's just glad to have been selected, and hopes to do okay. Has only really known about the game for a few months, so he'll have a lot to learn. He said all the international wannabes know about Mike Pyke.

Welcome to St.Kilda Jason, very happy to have you as part of the team.
as a genuinely good basketballer I'm hoping you acquaint yourself with the game of afl asap and learn the skills while bringing your own skills to afl football. Good Luck.

Obviously not.

If he makes it as a player, then I think as the first tall and good looking black American to succeed in our game he will do VERY well in sponsorship, advertising deals, etc.

To be fair he's nuts and you are contrary. It's like Idi Amin saying he's a good bloke because Pol Pot was an A hole.

[BigMart]

A good idea... But it's a long shot! Keep that in mind...

If he gets a kick, the hysteria on here will be unbearable I reckon.... Make 'the next big thing' Rhys Stanley 2010 look understated..... Even Arryn 'BJ'Siposs

Some have already indicated we can now get rid of a 24yo first round selection Ruckman with 6 years development, 80 games 20 odd hit outs 12 ppg, takes contested marks and is already a club leader?? On a guy who first saw AFL 12 months ago?!

If he doesn't get a kick, the opposite will be true... He'll be smashed... Lets just let the fella learn and see what happens....

A worthy experiment for sure, explore ALL avenues IMO

[dragit]

We did convert Walsh into Markworth & Wilkes, so I guess it wasn't a completely failed exercise.

Maybe Sydney will give us 35 & 68 for the Holme-dog in a couple of years…

[BigMart]

Plugger, did you really post that...

Aww....what about BM? Why don't you join me, and be anti him? He hates the club (as I obviously do)...seriously, that's pathetic, WTF did I have to do with your little squabble? And I love your desperate... We should be brothers... Gawd

What a post. FFS
Your simply obsessed!

Here's the truth p66

It irks you what I post... Because deep down, you know the club continually f**** up, but you don't want to believe it, to admit it or even hear it... When I point out things (some of which can be incorrect, they are really just opinions) you refuse to accept validity because its not what you WANT to believe...

If someone call a player great... It's just an opinion.... But that's rarely challenged for evidence... It's universally allowed on SS...
A person gives an opinion that a player is crap.....also an opinion.... It's treason.... Not allowed

You think that I seriously believe I know better than Paid PROFESSIONAL Employees at a professional sporting club?! That's your take, I never pretend as much, have stated it many times.... But that doesn't mean that I won't give a straight forward honest OPINION... Again, you just can't accept someone challenging decisions, made by those you hold in high regard, and put absolute faith in....

What I do believe, is that football wise.... Through 25 years of playing, coaching and watching... I have a fair understanding of the game as a supporter, and most on here that have seen me have a kick can attest to fact I can play a bit, and those who've had a chat to me realise that I know a bit like B4E, HD, Solar, Sav and a few others. They also know I am a hard core fan who bleeds RBW ... Another thing you don't accept I think

2 things you don't do

You don't ever comment on the many positive posts I make?

You don't ever admit when a call I make turns out accurate?

Oh, And you also clutch at a few old straws (that are not even that significant) when your either upset or struggling...

Me
I think you're a good saints man.... If you got off your obsession with me, stopped being an antagonistic devils advocate to everyone and allowed a contrary opinion.... I would take more notice of your commentary, albeit lacking in actual football discussion and generally just contrary comments to other posters....

The fact is.... You generally just take the party line

Btw
I loved your use of 'MOST PEOPLE' in your post.... Mmm....

[HitTheBoundary]

Your simply obsessed!

Pot kettle black.

Agree with what you said about Holmes. He is now officially the next big thing, until he's not.
Good to see the club thinking outside the box. Let's hope they get the more basic things right in the next few weeks.

Do you think he needed to bring me into this argument.... He was having with Trav? Am I allowed to retort on that?

I was obsessed with defending myself against him up until 6 months ago.... Gets to the point where he replies within 1 minute of every post I make, on any topic? It did wind me up... Now it interests me...

But this was poor IMO

How do you even know he wrote about you? It wasn't quoted, you say he is on your ignore list…

Don't know, I didn't read it, just skipped it.

Two options, as I see it. Put him on ignore, and REALLY ignore him, instead of continually repeating "I can't hear you.."
Or take him off ignore, and debate his points. Most of his replies to you are actually commenting on what you've said. Personally, I'd rather read you two discussing footy than read this ongoing cold war approach.
Discussion makes the forum more interesting IMO.
