Carlton starting well.

 

[Palantine]

What's with the swans wearing red white and black tonight?

You telling me there are no white swans? You couldn't somehow incorporate a white swan into the jumper? What shit.

Also while I'm at it are the umpires wearing indigenous tops? If it's not enough about them as it is with soon to be 17 umpires on the ground complete with umpires upstairs and microphones for them to get their gobs on the telly, now they get into the action with their own aboriginal tops? Eff me dead!

There's some yellow at the bottom. Look again.

 

[Palantine]

I don't see the yellow mate tbh, I'm struggling, but there's a lot of red white and black.

 

[anthonymallia]

Afl football is shit to watch atm, bunch of blokes rolling around, take about 5 players of the field each team and then they might have some spec to actually show some skill

Can you blame the AFL if they did?

The game is a shambles.

I’m actually in favour of it. Cannot handle seeing every player in one half of the ground that is not football.

Every game is the same.

Looks like under 8's.

Crowd noise muted nowadays. Like watching rugby.

No excitement

We might end up finishing last.

 

[Persevering Saint]

We may lament the poor quality of our senior leaders, but hey, at least they're not Daisy Thomas. Has the skills of a demented goldfish.

 

[PaddysurDaddy]

yeah it really is time for zones hey

For mine, I've accepted that St Kilda is like a frypan-burn on the kitchen-bench of my soul : it just isn't ever going to go away. I don't follow them because I ever, EVER think they'll win anything - that hope is now utterly eradicated. I don't follow them because they even represent an enjoyable pastime, most of the time - the incessant losses clearly indicate they aren't enjoyable, the vast majority of weeks. I follow them because, it's just in me to do so... well, and because of you guys.

I suspect there's a lot of us in that 30-70yo range who are the same. But it definitely doesn't bode well, in my opinion for the future. Kids have not had this bizarre masochistic love burned into them like we have, and they have far better things to do with their time. I also know many Saints supporters, including me, who have admitted they've discouraged their kids from following the Saints, or the AFL generally, these days - it's just not worth the crap they have to deal with at school, or the sheer hypocrisy and injustice of the AFL machine, or the misery they have to endure when the Saints lose. all. the. freakin. time. We love our kids too much to do that to them. My kids all follow NBA, MLB and stuff like that, instead, these days.

My dad, who was at the G in 66, will die a Saints supporter. So will I. But Saints support in my family will die with me, I suspect. Gotta break the spiral.

Hugs.

Try supporting the Fiji rugby team. Not the 7 a side version. The proper fifteen a side. Every game I have ever gone to watch I have known we are probably going to lose. So I cheer the moments and not the results. It’s why Pacific Islanders hit so hard in the tackle. Because at least we can win the contact, and take some small measure of satisfaction from the game.

St Kilda is easy. At least we win 34 out of every 100!

At least you aren't an American Samoan soccer fan.

 

[triggering bro]

Jake Lever an acl you’d think

 

[MUFKilda]

Demons hit a hundred again. In a low scoring season, they're really scoring heavily.

 

[Quixote]

I'll admit. The rise of Melbourne is making me physically ill.

That should snuff their premiership chances a bit. It will mean Tom Mc Donald needs to go back. I would be offering Tom Mac the Gov money. He's kicking about 4 goals a week as a forward and can go back if needed. **** melbourne up just so I can laugh at my mates who are giving me shit as a bonus.

They are playing 04-05 Saints GT footy rn. Great to watch tbh.

Oh me too. Who knew I was so small minded?

 

[BrutThough]

We can beat Gold Coast in two weeks. That group have no heart and have already given up.

 

[cooperrules]

Glad we didnt take brayshaw just gets better and better.

They might bring in some campaigner whos grtting 25 in the twos each week not sure what his name is. Wagner

 

[bergholt]

I'm kinda hoping the Dees win the flag this year, just to give us clearly the longest active drought in the comp. Obviously I'm a masochist.

Never once reported a post, but there's always a first time

That hawks-port game was the biggest pile of poo I've seen in a long time. Port got shafted imo. No need to spend millions on ur footy dep folks, clarko just spends 5 bucks on a coffee with Gill.
