I wouldn't sell my soul for a premiership.

I'm quite sure that the national bocce champions were quite excited about their win, too, but I don't care about that one either.

I've got better things to do on my weekends than watch that crap.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

I had a mate text me at 3 quarter time. He was watching the game on tv and he said it was like watching a Melbourne Victory game, where are all the goals? Made me laugh.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

It's boring and stupid. And it's outsmarted us, yet again.

With some of our players, it doesn't take much to outsmart them unfortunately.

I would cop any type of Dogs footy that gets the results as much as Saints Footy.

Didn't do them much good in the GF last year.

I'm not certain it was Saints footy that won it for them tonight. I reckon there would be a number of other teams out there that if in the position we were in with 12 minutes left would've either taken the opportunities that presented and or would not have made the critical errors that allowed the Saints to score.

Not at Etihad. The Pies have lost twice to them this year (NAB cup and round 3) in very similar games. That game plan doesn't work quite as well outdoors or on the larger grounds like AAMI, Subiaco or more importantly, the MCG.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

I agree Flamey, that style of game is very Taxing, doesnt work to well on the bigger grounds. I suspect though without Reiwoldt, they will play more of that style of game, Shame, Shame. They cannot depensd on Kosi, he is a crab. Cost them the game last week, dropped a sitter in the square.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

Everyone knows that saying of how you go for two teams - your team and whoever's playing <insert hated team/country> yeah?

I sort of morphed into that last night - I was probably more passionate about St Kilda losing than us winning....though the comforting thought of 'well at least we'll bank the 4 points' did persist throughout the game.

So once the points were dropped, about 30% of my issues are with Grant/Gia et al and the other 70% is with that god awful style of footy that just did not deserve to get rewarded.

Poor kid sitting in front of me near the standing room was balling his eyes out after that game - and I haven't seen a group of adults (us - as in WB fans) so shaken and stunned to lose a game of footy...the prelim hurt but it was in the balance, and I wasn't nervous last night until Armitage kicked his goal...the bitterness of last night will linger until first bounce vs Melbourne (who are currently getting a reality check at the hands of North)

To borrow part of a Terry Wallace phrase, if we end up missing a top 4 spot by one game, I'll spew up

I hate St Kilda

Re: I hate Saints footy!

Opposition supporters must boycott all St Kilda home games in protest to what they are doing to our game.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

I still have not changed my mind on this from last night. I will be barracking for StKilda's opponent in any game that is coached by Ross Lyon.

His flooding is a blight on the game.

Gotta love SEN (Stkilda's propoganda arm)That awful biased Windbags on that amauterish radio station is intolerable!!!

Re: I hate Saints footy!

Wondering what Andrew Demetriou is thinking with viewers turning off the product in droves Friday night!I know Lyon is just in the business of winning,but the AFL would be worried if the consumer stops watching out of frustration.The new rights deal on the table could be interesting times.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

Worst game I've probably ever seen.

However, what's the point in playing pretty and losing all the time? I'm not saying I want us to carbon copy St. Kilda's game plan, but IMHO we need to devise a different one to the free flowing stuff that breaks down in big games/moments.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

I've spoken to four impartial people who had turned off before half time. Terrible stuff.

I am thinking of changing over to being a bocce supporter instead! Great game! They have cheerleaders now as well. And they sell full strength beer.

Re: I hate Saints footy!

In all seriousness, if we won the flag this year, how many would follow the AFL as vigorously next season?

I was having this conversation with someone the other day, and given all the inequalities in the game and new teams, the draw, the stadium deals, everything...if the Bulldogs won the flag this year, I would just about stop following the AFL.

The game's administrators care more about profit than the product, although the 2 should be directly linked together.
