Great for us but no good for footy because Steven is a star.
Also Leigh Montanga out with suspension. Our midfield suddenly doesn't look too bad in comparrison. Don't really like winning games with the aid of those kinds of handicaps on the opposition though. Cheapens it a little.

I'll take anything.

Mate with us missing Viney, Clark, Dawes, Grimes, Garland, Frawley etc for extended periods lately ill take some injury luck on our side for once, huge for the saints missing montanga steven mcevoy and dal santo out of there starting midfield from last year

Happy with our fairly short injury list. Granted we're still missing Clark and Garland. Still not worth celebrating.

Fairly shit luck for the Saints. Also lost Saad last year.

The players are shell shocked still. I'll take our first 6 opponents having to field reserve sides if it means our guys can build some confidence.

Screw the Saints, We've copped more than our fair share of injuries, and have been BELTED because of it in the past few years. Tough luck - hopefully we smash the sh!te out of them and rub it in badly. We need to smash them and go into rnd 2 confident. Don't pity the saints because of last years outs - they never pitied us, no one did. Bleed red and blue, close one eye and go for the throat.

Love the passion but I don't think it's St.Kilda's fault we've had injuries. In any case Steven is a good player and it always sucks to watch a quality player go down especially in pre-season. Bad for footy. But yeah, mildly elated he's not lining up against us.

I never said it was their fault we had injuries, I was pointing out that they gave us no pity when we did have injuries, just like every other team didn't pity us when we were dreadful - 186 ring any bells? I'm not saying 186 was due to injuries - it was simply due to us being a shit team for whatever reason (players attitude against board or just because they're crap) - fact is, no-one went easy on us when we were down, so why show anyone else pity? Not celebrating a good player being injured - not at all - but I will celebrate that it weakens the saints which means even more chance of us smashing them, and that SHOULD be the collective view on the matter. F Them - Go us! Hit them Hard, and keep kicking goals and let nothing stop you from doing it. 5mins to go in the last quarter, keep kicking Goals, 2mins to go - keep kicking goals. Do our best to demolish the opposition instead of the normal weak candy ass BS we've served up year after year. There is never a reason to relax. if 16 opposition players do their hammys in the one game - keep running like a MOFO and kick goals.

If this club wants it's supporters to shell out more and more money - they need to give back. The pledge per win thing has annoyed me, as it should all you guys. The Idea of playing the game is to win regardless of whether or not they get extra money for it.

Having a collective view on anything kind of misses the point of a forum. Yep good for us, shit for them. But I'll celebrate if and when we outplay them on the day.
 
That's crap. No offense dude, but don't we collectively want to win football games?
I'd never put winning a game of anything over the physical health of another human being.

The point is - F--K THEM!

What a ridiculous question of course I want to win. But I don't want a guy to have to have his legs broken for us to win. In a perfect world I'd love to see a full strength Melbourne beat other full strength teams.

I swear my point is being lost on some of you. I couldn't give a rats ass if the opposition team get injured - I care about MY team, and MY team WINNING. No pity for the opposition. That's the game. Unless it's something extraordinary like when Jeff white got kicked in the face.

it's not a ridiculous Question - you originally stated:

I said that's crap, then provided an example of why it's crap. I don't care how we win - we just need to win period.
