Im not feeling the love people!
Guys and Girls,
We are all a bit mystified and annoyed at the lovett debacle, but all is not lost, quite the opposite!
Im normally a glass half empty kind of guy, but on this one Im going glass half full.
Yes Lovett would have filled a massive hole for us, but he has ended up falling in one he has dug nicely for himself. Nothing anyone could have done. No risk, no reward.
As for Moneybags McBall, hell, it would be alot worse if we didnt have a Armitage for example.
I think many take for granted our leadership structure. Not all clubs have such a solid inspiring set up. RL IS the man for job ( I wasnt a fan at first), and we have a stellar A grade Captain, not too mention the likes of Lenny.
Our list Im guessing has a 3 year shot at top 4.
Did I not read that our membership is up 5000, yes thats 5000 , on this time last year? Fantastic effort, though the bandwagon may need some new suspension.
I believe the intra club game is in a few weeks, with the presason starting the week after. Sooner the better for me, lets get this s*** on!
Time to be EXCITED and POSITIVE friends.
We are at a unique time in our history, a history of one of the oldest sporting clubs on the planet. Never have we had a better window to get that elusive flag. 65- 71 may have been the last, and I believe we are in better shwp in this era. Take 65 - 71 out and its a LONG time with no HOPE and NO chance.
Yes , the recent recruiting/trading affairs may have added to the pain of the GF, but we are in good shape. I take note from those that know better than I re. our current list prospects and I think we have some juice in reserve.
So come on! Err, where the hell is the jiggster anyway, this is normally his job!
We have plenty to be excited about , and were not Melbourne.

True, but we did have a lot of hope that year....at least up to half time on GF day.....iwantmeseats wrote:er, we lost !saintlee wrote:We did alright in 1997 too....iwantmeseats wrote:We are at a unique time in our history, a history of one of the oldest sporting clubs on the planet.

Re: Im not feeling the love people!
Agreed, once a Saints supporter, always a Saints supporter. We looked great in 98 only to fizzle out in the Finals. I am confident that this list and the coaching is better but as we all know, premierships are hard to get and I am going to be sceptical until the players are on that podium.iwantmeseats wrote:er, we lost !saintlee wrote:We did alright in 1997 too....iwantmeseats wrote:We are at a unique time in our history, a history of one of the oldest sporting clubs on the planet.

Recent history has shown we can look dead and buried halfway through the season and still be a chance for a GF, and with worse lists than we've currently got. FFS the team's only been on the park a week this year, the end of 2009 was pretty lousy, but it's hardly panic stations so far.
It's been nice to have gone missing for a few months, missing all the Ball and Lovett crap...chin up kids, it doesn't look so bad to me.

IMHO some on here are starting to sound like Richmond supporters with all the Carp that has been coming out since the Lovett incident/s
