I have trouble at times expressing myself with the written word so I would like to reiterate exactly what Fred has posted, would have liked to have written that.Originally posted by Fred
You're confusing arrogance with excitement and anticipation.
When there has been precious little to enthuse about over 110 odd years, then a sniff of good times is exciting.
We've waited a very long time and I hope you'll forgive us if our feelings show.
If it's a false dawn then so be it. Been there, had those. They are, however, playing a brand of footy I've never seen them play before and I'm going to enjoy it.
If you think we're over the top - tough.
Who are you talking to? Voices in your head?
just say ditto.
Fred.
No excitement is allowed in modern sports. Must never get ahead of yourself. Only worry about the next task ahead. Even if you happen to win the flag, you must then think about back to back. There is no room for complacency or enjoyment.

Im sticking to my 8 year X + 1 theory.

What he said
and furthermore - where is the evidence of Saints supporters showing arrogance - apart maybe from 1 or 2 during the school holidays and they would be some 1% of their supporters...

We must have read the same supporters book.
AFL- Swans
NRL- Sharks.

Your spoken word isn't too flash after a couple of froffys either
Well 40 something posts and not one rebutting my argument.
And i dont know where the arrogance perception comes from. I have put forward a perfectly logical argument about them being overrated, my team that is, so if anything, I should be accused of being negative and a pessimist.
Happy to see most people here too the post in the way it was intended, a bit of wry fun. Must be a cultural thing (you made ne say that skipper Kelly
)
culture, culture. Aint no culture here.
mate do a quick check over that, your havin a froffy a bit early aren't yaOriginally posted by Joffaboy

having a froffy is all relative
so we are all related??

While I can't argue with your initial point (not beating teams above them), can it then be argued that Collingwood and Adelaide are two of the better performing teams because 100% of their wins have come from teams above them?

Whole different argument, but obviously underrated
