This is what happens when you get over confident. Hopefully this result will final-bloody-ly be the wake-up call.
Looking at you DS!
Ro$$y and his saynta don't like being retarded. And Fred specifically warned you about the Dawks being hot, and to not pick us in your working tipping contest!
This one's for you DS.
Fortunately no one is retarding Vaas Montenegro.
This rubbish now has yet another proud new sponsor......

Match Review:
Well....
The Dawks deserved that win. And after a loss like this, there's always one silver lining... The theatre on ZZ.
- N-W-Aeon-M, Pou Power, Wilkie, The Sharmanator - all beautiful kicks who get nervous when taking a set shot.
- Bybes (with a f*****g 's', ffs
) strikes us as very nervous if his kicking, field or on goal, is under a bit of pressure. Was very pleasantly surprised when he kicked that one from the forward pocket. (Reckon he was too.)- Bruest aside, the skill level of the smaller Dawks inside their forward 50 is abysmal! They should just about have had the game wrapped up at half time.
- We're getting killed at the stoppages! If we can't win our fair share going head-to-head, then set-up defensively.
- And make Scilly accountable! Put a bloke on him who is an aerial threat. So, The Hammer or The Sharmanator. Or even Pou Power. And then, get that bloke to lead bloody away from Joe King! Make Scilly accountable!
- Ben Paton and Ryan Bybes (with a f*****g 's', ffs
)... share the same issue... can't hurt the enemy.Ae-ins:
Windy,
Chito,
Billings,
Highmore.
Ae-outskis:
Clark (no f******g 'e', ffs),
Bybes (with a f******g 's', ffs),

No 1 most important thing to do. Bring back Rodger Fox! <swoon>BackFromUSA wrote: ↑Wed 24 May 2023 3:49pmHi all
As you might know, my personal situation with sick parents, a kid doing VCE and a business to run has meant that I handed over Moderation duties last year.
I have made the decision to step away from Saintsational as the Administrator and after having consulted with Damien over the last few months, we have decided to hand over the keys to the forum to Nick Splitter (n1ck) and Darren Parkin (Harveysdeciple).
You might know Nick and Darren from way back in the day when they were admins of the forum through the late 90s and early 2000s, or from their Saints podcast 'Unpluggered.'
This forum has a special place in all of our hearts and all want to see it succeed and flourish, it would be great to see Saintsational regain it's place as the single best destination for Saints fans to chat footy online.
Over the next few days and weeks as I step back and transition away, Nick will be looking for some assistance with more moderators/admins so if you feel like assisting with this in some capacity please reach out to one of us.
The digital landscape has changed and continues to change from the days when the forum was set up so it will require some work and resources to keep it alive, and indeed, growing. Both Nick and Darren have extensive experience in digital media and marketing and are well placed to take over ownership with Sportscaster Media and make any of the decisions that need to be made in this regard.
I want to stress that these discussions about the future of the forum have been ongoing for a while, including with Damien (original owner/founder), and a lot of thought has gone into this decision. We feel that this is the best way to allow Saintsational to survive and flourish.
While not much will change in the short term, I am sure Nick and Darren will continue to keep everyone apprised of any plans for the future as things arise and develop.
I shall also try to pop in on occasion and contribute again.
Thanks for all of your past support.
And GO SAYNTA(S)!
Simon
Then this forum can once again get a weekly 'report' that actually has a clue.Then, welcome back all the banned former posters/let current posters resume their old IDs. Start this with the old surfer dude, and his mate StThomo. (But this time, surfer dude must not be allowed to bicker with StThomo.) Then bring back Ted and P666. (Big.Marmot is allowed to bicker with P666. In fact, it should be encouraged.)
Big.Marmot should apologise to Sainter K. (Unless he's already done so privately.)
Next. There must shirley be some way for the platform software to identify former posters who haven't posted in a long time, and send out an email inviting them to rejoin the party.
The platform software also needs to be tweaked so as to identify and remove from the forum Camry drivers and cardigan wears. Also anyone who drives a Prius, or who ever drove a Volvo. (A special one off exemption will be made for Blowme
as the humiliation of having publicly admitted to once being a Volvo driver is deemed to be punishment enough. ) Sure, these undesirables are most likely all already over on Big Flatulence, but one can't be too careful.......There you go. Forum fluxed fixed.
And you're welcome.

Can't stand the Skunks. But seriously, there's only one club that a bloke with a name like Weideman should be playing at (if they want him).
One game should be enough. Played by the father or the grand father.
Romance matters!

Positive news re Hotton to Trotton and McKenzie though.
Looking less and less likely that Hayes or Coff will play senior footy this season. At best, it'll be very very late in the season before they'd be ready.
Sebastian:
Despite his detractors, he's actually got all the tools (other than overhead marking).
- He's actually very very quick.
- He's fixed his (almost total) lack of endurance.
- His hands in close are very very good.
- He's actually also a good kick... when he takes care with his disposal.
Yes, as Big.Marot loves to point out, Seb's won two B&Fs. But, the bloke should be consistently amongst the league's elite mids.
However, as even Nosh knows... he ain't.
So what's the story with this bloke(?)
Is he just too comfortable maybe? Wasn't he stung when he shopped himself around (was it last year, or the year before?), and there were no takers...?
He's been around a while now. He's a senior player. And after years of mediocrity, the side is now in a position to finally challenge before Seb's career winds up. I would have thought that a bloke in his position would be giving it his all for his remaining few years, and demanding his team mates do the same...?
But the thing is....... we seem to have a few too many blokes in a similar situation. If Ro$$y can't 'motivate' them, then we suspect he'll be moving them on.
Paddy McPuddin':
Whilst we can understand the bloke's desperation to play the game he loves...... shirley he must now see that to do so would be sheer stupidity????
Weeks after another innocuous knock (by AFL standards, and probably by pretty much any standards) the bloke is still not right.
Reckon the Swine will make all the right supportive cooing noises, but reckon there's no way they'll let him play again.
He's 27 years old. The average AFL career is about six years. He's in his 9th season of being on a (multi) 6-figure income. So something's also wrong if he's short of money.
Paddy. Please retire and just try to enjoy the rest of your life... before it's too late.

I think what we have is unique in this day and age
Social media has killed the OnLine forum and the decentralized internet and in some ways it's a shame.
But there is no point in moaning.
People prefer to have an identity rather than be anonymous, even if that identity is manufactured to be algorithm-friendly, and something that you don't mind your boss or worst enemy at work, from leering at.
But while we can be anonymous, there is still some tiny space to be had, where we can behave goodly or badly.
I honestly have no idea if you lot would chat on friendly terms, have lemonade at the footy together, or spit in each other's direction if it came to a real-life chance meeting.
I can't tell if the jabs are tongue-in-cheek or not.
But I still think that we can talk about the topic at hand more freely when not chained to a Facebook identity. It has good and bad consequences.
I have no social media at all.
I am sure some would prefer me to go get some FB action and bugger the hell off.
This is what most people seem to have done, albeit telling themselves they are sick of the trolling, bickering, and baiting.
And the general sillynessness.
But as a former ruckman at St Kilda, I am honour bound to continue.
And so glad that there are still people who understand the importance of duty........ and honour.

There is no hierarchy on here, no matter how much you would like to think there is, so I’d take a step down from that high horse.

Ha ha. The Tarax Show and Jaffabuoy.
Yep, we know that's a misspelling. Consider it more mocking that way. But having said that, Jafflebuoy, come home to ZZ! We miss the theatre.
Agree. Very challenging to comprehend, at least for those of us who don't do mind-altering substances.
