Ok I know I quoted the Bible.
But the message after a loss like today is significant.
I posted my hopes on this forum and was dreaming about our finals run. I looked at the games and teams and plotted a potential course.
Well, we fell short. I have had a go at Richo, I don't want this player or that one. I have my opinions but deep down I really long for the boys to succeed. I look forward to every mention of our name in any article, I think about the greats gone and ones to come.
A loss like today is important because of the hope attached. It hurts. It has to stop. Somehow someway this club needs to lift. My father in law has been a Saint for 60 years and the weight of disappointments, I really don't know if I could bear it that long. When he watches he says he always expects to lose and is thrilled with a win.
No club has finished last as often as we have in our 144 year history. We have had a glorious glimpse at success from 2005 - 2010. I hope one day we find a way to stay consistently strong.
I wanted to continue my rant and rage against this one and that but I won't.
I won't sugar coat it either and talk like it has been a wonderful year with great return.
But as a newer Saint (membership starting in 1996) I look forward to 2018.

Dunstan is an example of what a young bloke can do if he puts his mind to it.
None of the others really have that sort of attitude.

A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.
