has anyone ever noticed that teams are so scared of our forward line they flood us and at every contest riewoldt has 2 opponents and gezza has 2 opponenents (not anymore though) whereas geelong never got flooded because there forward line didnt have "superstars" e.g mooney, chapman....there great players but no riewoldt, so thats why they kicked so many more goals...1 on 1 contests....we never get them...and we lack someone to fire us up...lenny hayes is a star, so is dal santo, but you dont see a gary ablett jnr wizzing around the midfield or half forward line for the saints do ya...we lack spark...look at geelong, they get excited when they kick a goal, and they have ten players charge at the goal kicker to say well done, we dont have that...when we kick a goal nothing happens, no one gives the signal to switch on....does anyone else see that???
thats because our gameplan was so shit and boring to watch, it was like robots playing kick to kick to kick to kick to goal, back to begining.

Saints r not a club its more like a circus, Thomas and butterss i will miss u both, thanks for the memries and thanks for showing the rest of the comp how to fu k up a club completly, its nearly bordering on embarassing how that list never even made a grand final, well done Mr Thomas, u were right in sacking blighty, worked wonders for the club and youre hip pocket lol.
First of all, go back to Geelong and worry about your own club.
We've bascially owned the shite out of you in the past 3-4 years except this year. Heck you didnt beat the Lions over here in that prelim at TD. We had to go to Port and were unlucky to win, so get over yourself.

Secondly, GT did alot more than Blight even did, took us to 3 consecutive finals. Some saints fans reckon he was a shit coach but I dont. You dont make the finals by luck. You dont make finals because you have the most talented side. What makes a good side is how united a team is, how they play together, not players playing individually but for a team.

The side hasn't changed much in the last few years, I would not consider our side the 'best list' in the league this year. Its not because the players are different, its because we not playing together as a team like in 2004.

Do you have any statistics to back this up, or are you just another biased St Kilda supporter?

Any other coach (one with a proper elite football background) and you guys would've won a flag. I'm convinced of that.

Fact: Geelong have had 3 players retire since 2004.
Fact: St Kilda have had 10 players retire since 2004.

Question: Who had the youngest list?


Fact: In 2008, St Kilda's list will have an average age of about 23 years, 8 months
Fact: In 2008, Geelong's list will have an average age of about 25 years, 5 months

Question: Who has the youngest list now?
Question: Who won the 2007 flag?

Fact: Being statistically 'young' does not mean anything, nor guarantee future success, and it sure as hell won't help you win a premiership.

Carry on.
