Yep. All clubs with success cop it. Tall poppy syndrome. Saints fans still get up and about over regular season wins. I remember that used to be us. Fans can talk all the crap they want. I just want to win.
Oh yeah. There are still plenty trying to belittle our flag they can only dream of winning. I just want to win more and more and let our footy do the talking. Who cares what they have to say.
Pisstake for sure. I'm just pointing out that we can't exactly be surprised by their reaction to it.
End of the day, they were extremely cocky in the 2009-2010 era. We had cocky fans after 2016. Tiger fans are extremely cocky right now, so much so they whinge about having to travel to Marvel...
Well.....the title of this thread doesn't do us any favours. We hated the one flag term prior to 2016 so I understand their resentment to it.
They've also won the last 3 games against us and since 2015, where we have been in finals contention and they haven't bar last year, they have a 5-4...
It's hard not to agree with everything discussed in this thread. There's no way the saints can match us, especially in the midfield. Yes Billings and Bytel and Crouch matching our guys is delusional. Yet every god damn time we play them they don't just match our guys, they better us! So that is...
You will 100% beat us in the ruck. Our hitouts are pathetic. Our mids have gotten used to trying to shark opponent hitouts but it’s not a sustainable plan to get first use. It’s why when our mids aren’t on, we get slaughtered and it can unravel quickly. If English can’t have an impact around the...
Haha yeah we have looked like we’re running in mud this year. Vandameer was a revelation this year because we finally had some extra pace but he’s out with a hammy. Our mids are just slow. Bailey Smith the quickest but then that’s just burst speed and our handball happy gameplan doesn’t allow...
Yeah that’s what I thought. Ryder and Marshall played well against us. I’ve watched a lot of the saints and your two ruckmen are the type that English doesn’t like - physical. The hype around English has come from his around the ground ability up forward and in defence. I think he’ll have his...
At present that will be Daniel then. He’s been damaging for us of late so if you can stop him it’ll go a long way to helping you win. I’m concerned about your pace. Gresham out helps but you killed us on the turnover earlier in the year. That and the ruck will be keys to the game. If English is...
JJ has actually been playing up forward the last two weeks with Dureya back. Would Geary play defence on JJ or is he better suited to a lock down role up forward?
Debt means nothing when it comes to salary cap. Especially when the AFL is giving the saints more money than any other team. Hell they were so mismanaged that they essentially would have folded a few years back if the AFL hadn’t given them all the money in the world. Not that we can talk.
Well I hate to say it but I would too. King will be a gun and so difficult to defend. I’m NOT saying I’m not happy with Naughts though. He’s also a gun
Anyone else see this cheap sucker elbow from Jacobs on Bont?
yet apparently Bont gets fined for engaging in a melee and Jacobs got nothing. Great job MRP
Just wanted to pop in and say your boys played a great game Sunday. But mostly, I wanna say how impressive Max King looks. Seriously the kid is going to be a star.
