Opposition Supporters say the darndest things.

J. They'll be eating rats in their council houses for dinner.

There's only one United

 

[Doggy]

Saints supporter on the main board. Admits saints had a charmed run in 2009, couldn't get it done. Proceeded to fail in 2010 as well with an equally charmed run. Only flag from a very lop sided GF

"It’s hilarious when you consider that the doggie posters on here were so bitter that the umpires awarded a certain free kick to Nick Riewoldt during the 2009 PF yet are now declaring that free kicks shouldn’t be a consideration in determining the outcome of finals matches. A case of wanting your cake and eating too.
BTW, in 2009 the Saints had a very healthy free kick differential. It does make a difference."

 

[SayerTheCreator]

Yeah, the Saints complaining about our free kicks, but they beat us last year in the final and had more free kicks, you can’t make this sh*te up.

….uhh, you did make that up.

Free kick count was 15-8 in our favour.

Just checked and you are right, it just goes to show umpires don’t influence the outcome.

 

[Sentinel]

I think that preview thread on the Port board is the very definition of living rent free.

Amazing stuff, they appear to have forgotten there's actually a game on, nothing but frightened of what the big bad umpires are going to do to them. Can only hope the players are as nuff as the supporters.

Heyaaaa. Congrats on the big win. Love watching Brissy lose, also bloody love watching some of your exciting young fellas. How good was Bailey Smiths Ice Man move? Loved it so much, made a fan art. Enjoy it if you like, if not, please dont hurt my feelings.
Thats the job of the Melbourne midfield this weekend.

yes, the footy gods definitely hate the team playing a home final with a healthy side, not the team that's lost three crucial players in the last month

Aside from all the obviously bigger issues we've had, the forecast is for a 70% chance of 0-1 mills of rain. Its hardly going to be a quagmire in a cyclone.

I think just making it a bit slick and dewey is enough to boost our chances.

Yep. Poor old Port they're really screwed over in this one.

 

[Sentinel]

Not that impressive, anyone could do it.

Who have Dogs beaten?

1. Dons (overachieving rebuild side full of kids)
2. Injured, no forward hobbling Brissy by 1 point.
3. Played 1 great half against a side in Port who were generally poor against sides above them throughout the year.

Ordinary when you actually pick it apart.

Melbourne will be a big reality check.

Who have the Dogs beaten? Hmm, pretty much a burger with the lot. All them wins were on the road ... our boys are made of titanium.

I won’t argue the 2 best midfields are in the grand final, that’s fact.

but let’s not act like these 2 clubs are genius recruiters.
There is a lot of luck involved.

dogs:
Libba, hunter, Wallis, JUH, now Sam Darcy, all gifts from the AFL system that is yet to throw a bone our way.

2018 they took smith in a great top 10 class, we got King so no complaints.

2017 there was a clear top 5, classically we sat at 7 and 8, got our pick of the next half dozen did well with Clark/coff avoided busts in bonar/Fogarty. We weren’t in the market for a CHB prior to Carlisle injury, dogs took naughton as their midfield was already full of guns.

blessed with the #4 pick2013 in a year where there was a clear set in stone top 3.
If they finished below us, they would have taken Billings 100% as he was the best bet to be a 200 gamer after Kelly.
It wasn’t recruiting genius it was just great luck.

also blessed in 2012 when the had 5 and 6..... weak draft,
SOS took orourke and plowman.
Fellow genius recruiters Melbourne took Toumpas.
Let macrae and stringer fall right in the dogs lap.


Credit where it’s due to Melbourne, they came out of 2019 with the best ruck and best small forward (Jackson and Pickett) but they were able to do that because mids already set.

they got Oliver at 4 but would have taken shache if they were at 2.

we took paddy and allowed them to get the 2 best mids that year in trac and Angus at 2/3.

they also used high picks on hogan, Toumpas, cook, gysberts, Trengove, watts, blease, Morton, grimes, traded a 12 for Mitch Clark. All busts.

viney father son gift.

We could win the next ten flags and St Kilda fans would say they are all illegitimate, just so they don’t feel left behind in flags.

Why can't you swim a st kilda beach?

One flag

Anyway, their flag was due to a massively lopsided free kick differential on the day

 

[Bulldog Joe]

St Kilda know that recruiting is just luck and they were so unlucky to pick the wrong player in drafts

2013 Billings before Bont
2014 McCartin before Petracca
2017 Coffield before Naughton.

So unlucky

 

[weltschmerz]

Your past players have had too many children. Please eliminate three. I am not a crackpot.

 

[bobs head soup]

The more realistic Aints fans recognise that their competitors in the flag race are Suns, Plastics and Freo. Only a century or more head start and they've got their noses in front.

 

[samass03]

You need to fly Rod Grinter into Perth ASAP so he can do the quarantine to be the medi thug.

Playing the Dogs in the GF with their umpire favouritism you need to sub in a thug like Grinter to knock out one of those Dogs supporting maggots.

Or Luke Darcy, either way I'd be happy.

Last week we had port fans wishing injuries on our players, this week we have saints fans wanting umpires knocked out…

how goods owning so much real estate in peoples heads

Remember to remove the user name and just post the text in the quote. Don't want people complaining about getting piled on. Absolutely psychopathic of him though, he's been one of the biggest people banging the freekickBulldogs drum and to go as far as wanting umpires to get injured is beyond the pall.

Unfortunately, that's water off a duck's back for this peanut.

Makes all sorts of excuses for this stat.

''Game was different in those days''

''Possible mistakes due to having only one umpire back then, three these days...''

--just a couple I've seen from him.

As Testekill said, he's a genuine psychopath.

Congratulations Dogs - youve just gone and made my year
That Naughton fella can take a grab eh?

LOL. That's a Trumpian level of denial.
