We were never going to win in that jumper! History suggests we were massively against the odds wearing a one off gimmick Guernsey!

I still don't know why were wearing that god awful jumper. Can someone enlighten me? Anyone? Bueller?

I think so, can't think of any other reason.

They should have come up with some better designs then if they actually wanted someone to buy them.

They look awful on the ground, but ok for supporter jumpers.

I deliberately stayed away from WOOF after watching that match, and I'm glad I did. I posted earlier about how this was a different group and we'd be fine. I was wrong but I was also right in a way: You could see the effort there, in the final quarter, we just had no more tickets to punch. Every time St Kilda gained possession they blazed away into open space and we just couldn't do the same. I'm not interested in the excuses but that doesn't mean they're not reasons. You can't accept them but you can't ignore them either.

So I guess how I feel is inextricably linked to how we play next week. Win or lose, if we at least push Freo with our "Men Of Mayhem" style then we can put this week down to youth — a loss of 4 points and some percentage but not much more. If we let it mess with our heads then we have indeed lost far more.

My son got one and loves it. I guess they are trying to target the younger generations?

Exactly. I really hope this doesn't seep into the psyche of the players.

In round one and two Bevo and Murphy made comments which were a bit tingue in cheek, but deliberately brash, to paraphrase "there are 24 games to, one week at a time" very casually slipping in that we expected to make the Big one. I loved it. Extreme positive language and audaciousness. After the sydney game it was all cliche one week at a time, keep a lid on it stuff.

I liked the brash behaviour a lot better. Coupled with the style of play it brought footy back to life in a big way for me. Has to keep going.

I was dreading going to work today as i have two mates there who are both Saints supporters. I was expecting a razzing, but both said the same thing. Namely that they thought the game would be a positive lesson in the development of both clubs. For the Dogs the first half represented the talent of the Dogs whilst the second half highlighted how much more development they have left to build their bodies to suit the rigours of a 22 week AFL schedule.

I work with a pragmatic Saints fan as well who said the same thing .
Also commented on some animosity between our sets of fans, and said he'd seen and heard a lot of Stkilda supporters sticking it to us after the 09 PF. I ventured over to BF and noticed their supporters being their usual prick selves .

Wish I was as fortunate, I had to put up with a couple of light jibes and then one real imbecile.
Unlucky for me we were all in the change room after our game and some bright spark put it on their iphone.
Brushed most comments of it aside but did pull out the old, "buy a membership you flog" and "only knowing he was a Saints supporter when they win."
