Does whinging make you feel better?

Fill in your idle time, go search for toilet paper or count the empty shelves in your local Supermarket.

Football as you knew it is officially over.

Imagine if you were a Liverpool supporter

Imagine if you were a Liverpool supporter

Or say - St Kilda - Everton - Melbourne Stars

[asiu]

no

[Darth Vader]

Apparently no one else is affected.

[perfectionist]

Of course we are. I look at parents who bring their babies along in Saints colours and think, how cruel. A lifetime of expectation never fulfilled. The jinx was lifted for just two minutes on one Saturday afternoon in late September 1966. This was because the Jinx god was having a wee. The Jinx god only has a wee once in eternity, so we were a bit lucky. Until then, it had firmly been in place for 147 years. It has remained in place ever since.

Maybe. We should have done much better over the years especially in the 60s and early 70s and around 2004 to 2010.

A team of our champions over the years would piss on the best of the other teams. Absolutely piss on them.

And 1997 and let's not forget the 1913 debacle. That one really hurt.

No
f****** Keddie must have been really old come 1971, Trev.

I will never get over 1997.

Feel your pain here Saynta... I’m the same. Never had any doubt for the win in the lead up and to this day I’ve never rewatched the match or even really like to go back and think about it.

I hate that we got injuries
I hate that we were thoroughly out coached on the day
Hate that some assey no hope player had the one good game of his career that day
Hate that Harvey was targeted
Even hated that Aussie Jones kicked one of the most memorable goals in a GF... in a losing effort

All of 04-05, 09 and the draw are much easier to swallow

[asiu]

we are not jinxed

just not good at winning


we’ll figure it out
somewhere along the wallaby track

[desertsaint]

think we may run out of track before we figure it out.

[Enrico_Misso]

With some smart recruiting we had an air of excitement
... and most importantly an EASY Bottom 6 draw.
That limited the number of 2019 top 6 teams we played twice
and increased the number of 2019 bottom 6 teams we played twice.

That triple whammy actually gave us a good chance of sneaking into the 8 like Brisbane did last year.

But the "fair" no double-ups draw destroys that chance.

... so the answer is YES

I've never got over Bob Keddie. Why couldn't he have put himself in front of Hudson when Cowboy came a steamin'?

[bigcarl]

Jinxed? No. I think cursed is the word you are looking for.

We were going to win it this season.

Now the best we can hope for is a compromised premiership, one with an asterix. Not a real premiership.

It could happen only to St Kilda.

I'm starting to think I stepped over a Chinamans grave.
