News Thread of #ECO

[sainterryan]

Checkin back In for today, well for a few hours anyway , like one of the sleazy hotels it’s just a half day booking....

 

[LiterallyNobody]

I'll be watching the game but just from a viewing perspective. I may even applaud Joel Selwood if he doesn't duck too many free kicks*


*probably won't

 

[ScrappyDo]

It's easy to be ECO when we lose. Let's see how many of you campaigners are still ECO when we pull off a big win (ie GWS / Richmond last year). That will be the real test. They will drag you back in, only to break you again...

I've been eco for the last 7 years, and look what a happy little f___er I am. Being on this forum now, most times I feel like that guy cracking jokes at a funeral. ECO for life, it comes with the team fellas...

 

[2ballz]

Gday fellas how’s it going

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Fantastic. Life is so great at the moment and I'm in a really positive state of mind. This was a pretty easy week to start Eco though. I'll be more interested when we play Carlton or the bulldogs tbh

 

[MUFKilda]

No ECO in the Saints' Manchester branch. I knew what the deal was when I got on board the rollercoaster.

#ECO
A lifestyle until we move beyond the current coach

 

[LiterallyNobody]

Plus one for #sackthecoach. I'm now convinced our game plan is bomb itbin forward so the opposition can go the length of the goal and kick one.

Maybe a new coach can bring me out of my #Eco state. Though I kind of like it. It's actually quite therapeutic.

The game was absolute comedy gold when you're not invested.

Yep. I actually rewound to hear it again. Someone needs to clip that.

 

[Quixote]

Bring us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses cursing the red white and black... and we'll give them #Eco

Each and every one of them, #Eco for all.

Hey fellas.

Welocome to Eco. It's a lifestyle. Sorta like Festivis in Seinfeld.

If you find yourself throwing remotes or breaking coffee table Pm me. I've been there.

He was savage at times. You could hear the veiled anger in his voice.

I'd ask you to be my sponsor but I'll be honest I don't think I need one.

I started my 12 steps at half-time in the Norf game and had them wrapped up less than a week later (thanks Crows, Richo).

Smooth sailing ever since. Even my family have noticed the difference.

Hell just yesterday I made a new hole in my belt for the first time since high school.

Well to be completely transparent, I've been moving towards #ECO since the Port Adelaide game last year.

 

[sonnywalters]

I'm in.
I am a hardcore abuser and user.
I need to be freed from this damaging addiction.

You know it's all a ruse, we all come here and say our say we're off it then go and hock the laptop and buy memberships for next season.

When you typed that number, did you just roll it off or did you deliberately pick digits to make it look convincing?

I know I do...

Like smelling your own farts.

Rooey definitely not ECO; he's hurting.

 

[mr bagcroft]

I'm the opposite obviously, emotionally over invested but seriously not too angry or upset. I think most problems people have right now stems from over estimating how good we'd be. I sat down and looked at other clubs and use couldn't see why people were thinking it would all just work out great. We are 2 or 3 years behind where we thought we were and made mistakes. It's like thinking you were 15 minutes out of Sydney in the car and looking out and seeing the turn off for Canberra.

This. Writing on the wall was very clear. It all seemed like misguided/forced optimism to me at the time.
You just watch ANY other game and not only are we WAY off the pace, at the moment its sub standard AFL level stuff.

 

[Saint Watto]

Rooey definitely not ECO; he's hurting.

I didn't watch the game but from all accounts he was hurting big time.

It must have been very hard watching us yesterday.
