Autopsy AFL 2025 Round 1 - Crows v Saints Sun March 16th 12:35pm AEDT (AO)

[Toump Ass]

69 years to win your 1st flag 59 years later and 5 grand finals for zero wins later since..what on earth would posses someone to support St Kilda??

Some people just like edging.
Imagine how good it's going to be when they win it.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Haha Saints supporters are the least arrogant group in the AFL - I guess along with Freo, GC, GWS.

I said unjustifiably arrogant, aka arrogant despite no success. Most carry on like supporters of the big 4 clubs. Next are Carlton supporters.

 

[Elixuh]

Probably but you try it, not as easy as it sounds.

Whenever the lions go to shit I always change to the broncos and come back when they’re good again

I know a lot of Saints supporters and I've never met an arrogant one, we know how hard this has been.

 

[Some Idiot]

Jack McRae has found the perfect system in which to be utterly ineffectual beyond the world of SuperCoach.

20 disposals in a half for 102 metres gained and 2 score involvements.

One of the great modern charlatans of the AFL. The All-Australian concept became irredeemable after blokes like him starting getting guernseys.

Was one of the leading goal assist players during his All Australian years

He’s now just a SC crab who churns points but has zero impact on the actual game

As a dockers fan. We sort of have that right to be arrogant.

Despite success or lack of it, Freo fans rock up to games

 

[Elixuh]

I’d bench NWM for the rest of the game, their only A grade young player

You equate success to flags and that's fair enough, that should be the ultimate metric, but 17 teams are gonna go without one every year and true success is the journey, winning matches, top four finishes, consistency in performance and supporting your team along the way. Fremantle has had their patches.

 

[voorhees]

saints fan's would have to feel so let down.
no fight or chance

It's Round 1

Melbourne belted the Dogs in Round 1 last year, guess who played finals

 

[Elixuh]

Saints look ok when the other team gets a winning lead and gives up

 

[windyhill]

This is glorified circle work now.

Ultimately you'd rather your deficiencies become clear in the first round cos then you've got 21 more rounds to address it

If you want to see a fanbase carry on "like a Big 4", it's Essendon. With all your marquee games, Carlton at Marvel average more than you, and Geelong, despite KP under construction, nearly beat you for average in recent years.

That kid running the trade rumours Facebook page a few years ago was a laugh though. I'd put him in that category. Cooper Gretch?

The one saints fan i know in real life is definitely not arrogant though

I'd rather the opposition figure out your weaknesses in October

Big 4 club but was 7th for memberships last year?

Never said anything about acting like a big club, we do because we are. Saints are not. Carlton are. History. However when it comes to how one assesses their list in the present tense and what they expect each year, you'd be more hard pressed to find any other suppoter that is willing to quietly stick fat through a period of development or not overrate their young guns like Saints fans are. Carlton next.

 

[Delisted]

Aaah the old 20 odd goal Ross Lyon defence.

Yeah but he’s got a completely different thing going on, nqr.

8th highest average attendance historically. Inflated by abandoning your roots in 1992 to become a brand, not a club.

Have you seen the dross the supporters have put up with over the years, sorry, decades ? Clearly the most loyal going around. Essendon do not deserve the crowds that show up.

If the Cats had no success in the last 20 years and went through a saga they'd be bankrupt and there'd be a shopping centre in place of GMHBA. Don't ever talk to us about support.

Yeah i am aware. Was funny until it wasn't
