I'll be supporting....

Post: # 1257052Post Fidelis »

For 7 of the last 8 seasons we've been dreaming of September glory at this time of year. This detached disinterest feels a little foreign. Can we spice up the finals by supporting the team we dislike least? Let's see:

Hawks - no, I was there in 71 when they stole it from us - and they've won their share since then
Swans - no, I was there in 2005 when we lost a prelim that had fallen so beautifully for us
Crows - no, I was there in 97 when we were the shortest priced favorites in living memory
Eagles - perhaps, little history with us
Pies - you've got to be joking, I was there for both of them in 2010
Cats - no way, I was there when we kicked it away in 2009
Dockers - absolutely not, I'd prefer anyone else at the moment
North - perhaps, pretty harmless

Not sure that's made me feel a whole lot better

Will be going for the cats. Yes we threw it away against them, but they play good football and have likable players. I also will be hoping Collingwood make the prelims so I can watch more of Dawes, his shitness is enjoyable to watch.

Not so much supporting the Cats, but someone has to win the damn thing and for me that's the best result.

Makes it a happier place down here for a few weeks :)

Agree with your sentiments Fidells. I was also there for those losing GFs. They still hurt. Probably throw Sydney into mix as a lost Preliminary is not quite as bad as Grand Final day.

Hawks for me. 1971 is ages ago. Well run club with lots of exciting players to watch.

And we got Pelchen from them. Hopefully one of our best recruits ever :smile:

What really pisses me off - is looking at Hawthorn - for many years we fought each other not to get the wooden spoon
but since 1971 Hawthorn have won 9 flags - Saints 0, it annoys me greatly.

Which of these teams would you least like to play next year in the GF? Yes I am forever optimistic, I am a Saints supporter after all which is probably now in the Oxford Dictionary as one of the definitions for optimist. Anyway, Two teams stand out- Hawks and West Coast. Hard to see the Hawks getting much better but West Coast will be even better next year- remember who is still missing from this side- eg le cras , who will only get better with another year - Big nat for one! I hope they win and will be a little less hungry in 2013!
Not to mention all the reasons given by Fidelis

Go Saints!

Because of the Lyon - Dawson link I'll be looking for Freo to do well.

Freo...Would rather cut off my left one than see Ro$$ taste success
Geelong.... Arrogant enough as they are. No thanks
WCE ........ Anti Vic, moronic supporters would drive me nuts, but they are 3000 kms away
Nth Melb... No thanks, club has small mans syndrome
Collingwood... wouldn't mind seeing Luke Ball miss out.
Adelaide.......Would kill me to see them "pinch" one when we couldn't
Sydney... Still not over the Plugger trade. No!!!

Only really leaves Hawthorn. I can live with that.
