Because we received no credit for knocking them over last week, as soon as we got the victory people were talking down Sydneys chances this year and how they were finished...
The same with Adelaide....last week there was a lot of banter that they were top four contenders for beating the likes of Collingwood. Yet all I have heard today, is that we haven't proven much beating a team unlikely to make the eight?
Where is our respect, it makes me mad! But then on the other hand....suits us to fly under the radar and then....BAM!
PS - Special mention to Zac again for last weeks effort on BBBH

Don't worry OWTS there will be plenty of interest in what the saints are doing now. People haven't given us much respect for some time but I don't think that is bothering any of the players - they are earning huge respect from the people who know.
I've never seen a bad St.Kilda player - that's just how they are.
sydney will be around 8th come the end of the season,
hawks lose too many more and top 2 start to look hard for them to be honest, they are the walking wounded.
They are the Bradbury premiers - thats what they are.
Geelong lost it last year - they didn't win it.
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
Like that Joffa Boy - Bradbury Premiers - sure were. As I've already stated before - as soon as the flag was in the bag - I turned off TV. I've had enough footy footage of Hawthorn enjoying their grand final wins. Met a Hawk fan the other day who said 'you know I've been to 5 Grand Finals and seen 5 premierships' ... can't relate at all to Hawks fans. But I can relate to fans who've experienced painful years of barracking eg Bulldogs, Demons ... even Cats. Here's hoping maybe this year is our year to experience joy.

Hawthorn was always going to struggle early in 2009 because of injuries. They probably weren't expected to be 0-2, but certainly weren't expected to dominate.
Don't under-estimate them. By the end of the season they'll be well entrenched in the 8.
Losing the first 2 games isn't a death sentence:
In 1997 we lost the first 2 games and were on the bottom of the ladder (in fact we lost 4 of the first 5). We went on to finish on top of the ladder at the end of the H&A season.
In 2005, Geelong won only 2 of the first 5 matches and also ended up on top of the ladder at the end of the H&A season.

Im really liking the underdog tag this year with this team. Making this brand of footy that the saints are playing all the more satisfying for me. The more people say we cant do it. The more motivation for the "Hard balls gets" 50%er and the contested ball. BRING IT ON REALLY
