I want to know what the club is going to do about this. Presidet, Board, CEO etc. 1 win its a disaster. Footy department told them we had a top 4 team. Must be held to account.

They are running off Tim bigtime - his defensive game is crap. If Savage continues to just bomb it down the line I will puke - get rid of him. To top it off we are slow as treacle.

Of course. I am under 30. It builds character being a Saints supporter and having to suffer poor performances and read about why Hickey is so bad :D

Pure masochism now. Am thinking I should do something to get myself ejected.
Let off a flare.

True to form.
Put us on FTA TV......Guaranteed we will get pumped by 60+.

Honest question. Does anybody under the age of 30 actually go for the Saints? Is the club endangered? No way are we getting any new or young fans anytime soon.
I’m brainwashing my boy.

If I have to suffer then so does he.

Pleas don’t call child services.
Serious question.
Does he have many mates his age who go for the Saints?
My beautiful boys are both on the severe end of the Autism spectrum. So they don’t really have any friends.

The eldest is 6 and just loves cheering the Saints. He doesn’t have a grasp on the concept of winning or losing. Just wants to high five anytime a Saints player has the ball.

I watched the first half with him, and this will sound strange, I had a great time watching the game.

Then he went to bed and I had to face the reality of what I was actually witnessing.

I would love to see how the Swans train compared to us. Position themselves well, kick to advantage, block for each other.

I like Edgar Allan Poe. One of my faves. Lighter and easier to read than it is watching us play footy. Can’t recall ever being so disheartened by our efforts(sic)

Gresham trying to snap from the goalsquare, somehow managing to kick backwards away from goal. Paddy marks the ball which went about 10m and kicks a point from the goalsquare. Just a comedy of errors that summed our season.

watching the ball move so freely for the swans with no pressure is just too much to cop. this ladies and gentlemen is rock bottom, Carlton fans will be watching this with some relief knowing that there is someone out there that will take the limelight off them.

I am totally bereft of any hope in this side for a long time to come..I said similar after the pre seasons and was challenged. it was easy to see how bad we were back then. The fans need to let the club know enough is enough.

We will come out and kick a few goals in the last quarter once the game is over and the Swans have switched off.

Then Richo will go on about the positives in the last quarter and how we showed some 'pleasing signs' to 'fight back' and play some 'good strong footy at the end'.

He will then say 'we arent where we need to be' and we will 'go away and work on a few things'. We will "take that good form in to next week' and we just 'need to be more consistent for the full four quarters' . He will sneak in 'this is a young group' just to give himself another excuse.

If this happens I am going to SPEW UP.

Enough is enough. Sack Richardson now. Lame. Insipid. Devoid of cohesion. Embarrassing.

I know I’m going to get killed for this, but I’m not too unhappy with Paddy’s game tonight. Should have kicked 4, just like the whole team should have kicked 13.6, not 6.13
