Whatever it takes to get a reply to my post

I will start with how upsetting last Friday was... I'm 53 and how many times has this team made my family think I'm a nut job and don't like watching footy with me, yet I'm a normal guy outside of that. You fans my age understand, youngsters right now you are starting to get it but spare a thought for your parents and stick with it because when we win it, it'll be the best thing ever. As bad as last week was something keeps me upbeat. We finally have kids that weren't number 1 draft picks that can play. There's one in my opinion is the best (I apologise if he gets injured this week, it's a saints fan thing). Windhager... he is the one. He's a footballer, he's a Newcombe from Hawthorn. They are going to be stars. I just saw Bontempellii pick Newcombe up like a toothpick, give these two a few years.. you'll see. Owen's surprised me, why ? Because he played well interstate. NWN isn't a tough guy like Hill but he's silk with years ahead of him. I don't care what anyone says Sharman is a must !! He's clever up forward and kicks pressure goals. I could go on like how good is Sinclair but what would I know ? I come on this forum because sometimes I think the fans no better. I was adopted to a family in Adelaide and get so frustrated I can't go every week. You guys in Melbourne are so lucky, get out there if you can. We are on the up. Go Saints !

Love the passion mate . I'm 59 tomorrow & like you during the week I'm a regular nice guy but come the weekend & the saints are playing I turn into a different person . My whole weekend is ruined if we lose on a Friday night I can't watch a close game anymore & I have completely turned my family away from watching footy with me because I get too agitated . I hope we have uncovered a few gems & will keep hoping we can win a flag before I leave this place but I doubt it . I genuinely hope we are on the way up but after years of disappointment it's hard to be too upbeat but keep the faith mate & yeah Go Sainters

The Saints will let you down so often it's best not to get too carried away with a few wins, it's better to sit back and see if they can maintain it, history has shown they can't.

You never know though, one day they may surprise us all.
The older we get, the less likely it is we'll see it.

All I will say is Im 58 and Im glad Im not the only anti social Saints watcher out there!

Surely some day they will stop breaking our hearts?

I'm 72 and began my Saint Supporting "career" in the late 50's early sixties with the likes of Eric Guy and Neil Roberts and that ilk, down at the Junction. It was a family thing. I saw and was part of the rise through the sixties, the '66 GF and all of that came with that successful period and have witnessed the false dawns, the decades of disaster and the flickering periods of success that seemed all to quickly snuffed out, without reaching that pinnacle that we yearn for the team to achieve! Watched and cheered some absolute champion footballers representing St Kilda, we all know them, especially Plugger, the greatest FF of all time!
We are now unique in the AFL world. And I wouldn't change it!!!

[Although I would gladly accept another flag in my lifetime!]

Hi, my name is Hawkesbury Saint and I too am a Saintaholic.

I am 60.

I spent my early teenage years at Moorabbin Saturdays until the family moved to Sydney.

I drive my family mad because of my agitation watching Saints game live. Last year they bought me a defribulator for Father’s Day.

I hate my reaction but I’m locked into a passion for the team and a despair when performances like last weekend come along. Footy bores me unless it’s the Saints! Yet, I find for blood pressure reasons and a love for family who I unintentionally alienate, I am locked into checking updates during a game but not watching live.

I fear the SCG. I have seen great wins there and suffered humiliation at the hands of Sydney fans who at least know more of the rules these days.

I have found this thread therapeutic and wish my fellow Saintaholics all the best.
