Guys, can we leave the hatred aside for a sec and have a conversation? I think RF makes a good point, albeit a little gloomily.

When you look at the bigger picture, 17 and 0 means nothing if you don't win the big one. I'm sure we can all agree with that. That's all he's saying, why all the hate? You don't want RF to be so negative, so why be so negative yourselves? Is it a case of eye for an eye, eh?

Sure, it's been a fantastic ride so far this year and I'm sure most if not all fans are loving every minute of it. But I for one am terrified it will all come crashing down. I can't help feeling that way, I'm a Saints supporter after all. ;)

...because he is full of it.....


i watched on the couch last night...thought it was a good show...thought nick spoke well.......but our resident grinch posted this crap...



"I for one, would look at this year as any other we haven't won a flag. Any other year after I turned 15 actually. Prior to then, I got a thrill out of watching my heroes play every week - regardless of the result.

Watching On the Couch last night made me want to vomit, and I prayed that none of the Saints players were watching.

It was sickening. It was worse than this site.

Such adulation for a team and a club that has won nothing. If you listened to them last night, or read this site regularly, you'd swear it was October and we'd just won the flag by 10 goals.

17-0? Big ****ing deal.

They should put a full media ban and Saintsational ban on every player at the club to ensure they don't get caught up in this garbage.

I wonder if the TAB will start paying dividends on horses that lead the Melbourne Cup with 800m to go? ."








......he must have watched a different show than me,,,maybe a parallel world or something......



17 zip is a f****** big deal...never happened in my life time before........so what if we are flag favorites...we were in 66...and if my memory isnt failing me...i think we may have won that year......only just mind you.....but who is complaining.......

All i know is that i've had 17 very enjoyable weeks so far this year - been fantastic. Would losing the Gf undo that? - NO - nothing will take that away!

Would i be shattered - YES - for a few days/weeks.

Would i be looking forward to 2010 - HELL YES!

Will i waste any of this year worrying about tomorrow - NO!

This is what I don't get - if we went out in straight sets and got thumped in the finals, that would be a disappointing year, yes, BUT - the lead up to the finals has been fantastic. I'm not sure ANYONE can complain about the year we have had.

Secondly, this club has been failing (by your standards RF) for what?! Twenty or so years now?! Surely, we are used to it by now? What difference will another year make?

Just gives the opposition another years worth of opposition. If anybody still gets hurt by these comments, they need a skin transplant. You need a thick skin to support this club, you really do.

i will only be hurt because it would suck to come so close and fail again.

Fortunately that isn't going to happen though, as we are going to win the flag this year. :lol:

There's no hate, that's absurd.

Just the usual contempt for just another troll.

Yes, perhaps an innocent question from anyone else.... but if a serial pedophile offered to pick your kids up from school, you'd rightly have more than passing doubts about his motives.

He's here to spoil, and that is all.

you obviously do not understand the concept of clinching a top 2 position 6 weeks before finals are supposed to commence and what that means in terms of final preperations

At the moment 17-0 is a big ****ing deal

rotflmfao

unreal
so if we lose by under a goal in the GF are you going to renew the membership or carry on with the whole season was a waste of time garbage
??

sometimes you can actually see some good points in the fox report (and even some other posts)...but then, we read something and it just cancels everything out.

yup i agree
the year would be a complete failure
learned nothing from it
didnt get game experience into some of the younger players
disgusting
ross would just have to go....dead-wood.

Think you'll find the players aren't getting caught up in anything.

The only pressure on the players is formed by the media and fans alike.

These blokes as a group are as mentally tough as any other group of players who've played for the Club.

We as supporters can allow ourselves to get carried away. We don't have to go out on the field and play - and we have no influence whatsoever over the Club in terms of the decisions they make.

All I can say is enjoy the ride rodge, it's awesome at the moment.

And FWIW I will be shattered if we don't go on and win the Flag.

Shattered yes... but life rolls on.

Not arguing with this pure statistical fact Rodg..but surely you, who try and "drag the mood down" at every opportunity, are no better than those who might post that the flag is as good as won already..

May I ask a question?

When was the last time you watched a game LIVE? Its not a criticism if you cant cos you dont live in Melbourne..thats fine..but pretty much all our Interstate posters are happy to put a * on their opinions with the disclaimer that its gleaned from watching TV. Many of them also get to see a live game during the course of the season. You have very strong opinions on coaching, tactics etc. I reckon its only fair you tell us how you watch most games.

...and please....dont do your usual trick of answering a question with another question. I'm not asking anything personal..dont wanna know where you live or anything like that..just getting a fix on how your opinions are being gleaned.

Id also love to know if your a member, or support the Club at all in ANY sort of tangible form apart from your earnest opinions, but thats totally at youjr discretion to divulge..or not.

I'm not going to play these little peurile games with you rodger/ violent/smug.

You know exactly what terms you have used to denigrate others on here.
As I'm sure do many others

Have you got so little going on in your life that you need to derive pleasure from trying to 'wind up' others who just come on here to enjoy their team's amazing run of success? Please don't bother answering, I'm really not intrerested in your trite responses and your infantile attempts to start an argument.

Why not just keep on enlightening all those over on Big Footy - Surely they appreciate your superior intellect much more than we poor 'idiot supporters' over here?
Surely that would be much more stimulating for you?

There's a very apt word that describes your activity on here lately:-

Sad.

Sad that a 'grown person' would feel the need to belittle others to derive satisfaction.

So very sad.

You need some new msterial rodger - you've used that trite little epithet a little too often for it to be useful anymore.

If you want a good laugh though, just have a think about this.

There's one poster on saintsdational.com who uses multiple names, pretends he's clever, makes disparaging remarks about others' intelligence, continually 'baits' other posters

and thinks nobody knows what he is doing. :roll:

Now that's hilarious!

And wouldn't you love that to eventuate? Oh, the harvesting of sorrow you could indulge in.

Your declaration is a judgement. Not a fact.

Why does a completely reasonable ang logical thread have to turn into a nasty, spiteful catfight?

Please, keep on topic.

And if you have nothing to add, then don't post.

Thank you for your time.
