If ever you think that North fans are an insecure bunch, read the Saints game preview threads.
Holy hell, it's 43 pages of uncertainty. They range from Kelvin to B4L, there's no level headed posting.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Seems a little risky dropping Phillips and leaving Draper as the sole ruck?
I'd assume Weideman will do some ruck work with draper resting fwd.

I love this.
We don't need Andrews.
LET DRAPES COOK!

They are a disturbed bunch of juveniles in that thread. They have out norfed, norf.

We had our celebration ruined last year, I hope we ruin failda's.

Not to mention it would be nice to stick one up Ross the Boss for publicly and jokingly turning us down last year

Joel selwood won more finals than your entire football club has over 150 years.

And essendon fans that can now drink and vote haven't witnessed a finals win.. EVER.

That can be erased in one season. Good luck erasing 149 years of failure.

Your clubs last flag is eligible for the pension.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh.

As per above.

That's banter. Not the acid laced aggressive vitriol that so often gets slung around the traps.

Unless you are 40+, you don't remember your teams most recent success - and even that was tainted by salary cap cheating. You're no better than us, for all that you wish you were.

You can go back to following the worst club in Australian sport now. Thanks for your input.

Hang on, I did pretty good in grade 1 maths. Let's see how you did.

If Harry had 5 spoons and Henry had 27 spoons, who has the most spoons?

If Julie won 16 shiny cups and Jenny won 1 shiny cup, who has won the most shiny cups?

The answer to those problems should tell you who's better than who.

Let's face it, St Kilda's list is still crap.

All that's happened so far is that their supercoach has fashioned a credible looking house out of a bunch of very ratty twigs.

150 years of history says this moment is another false dawn, yet another "massive St Kilda highlight" that lasts for a few weeks and then falls over in a slight breeze.

Bombers by 40.

Accurate description of your brain, well done.

Go have a cry in your preview thread again, it's been fun reading the keyboard mashing.

Last time your club was relevant was when everyone had the misfortune of seeing Nic Dal Santo's micropenis

This coming from a Saints fan? Your self awareness can't be that bad surely?

Flags since the AFL became a national competition in 1990:
St Kilda - 0
Essendon - 2

My two that can vote and drink have.

Apologies if this is already covered, but why leave out an energy / pressure player like Guelfi but include Heppell against a team that bases its game plan on run and fast ball movement - as evidenced by the practice match …..am I missing something?
