Assessment (aka The Legend of <the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho:
Maybe the Hole In The Ted gang and the TRUE DECEIVERS have a point about people not giving <the definite article deleted by Mods) Cho and the kudos he deserves? <the definite article deleted by Mods) Cho has been more damaging than he is being given credit for.
Shirley <the definite article deleted by Mods) Cho is gonna' go. The BOM must know about the damage that he's doing.
And shirley we have someone lined up. The BOM must have a replacement lined up, but someone who isn't available till the end of the season - otherwise they'd be in place now. Coz that'd maximise our chances of making the finals this year, and of retaining disgruntled players like pick a colour.
And if none of the above is happening, then our club is in way more trouble than we thought.
For the TRUE DECEIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
The new Hole in the Ted gang.
We hear you........
Everything's fine.
It's only a flesh wound.
<The definite article deleted by Mods) Cho is doing a great job given the injuries we've had, ... wait up.....injuries???
AFL injury ladder. https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-06-06/ ... g-the-odds
We're actually equal......................wait for it....................................only 12th!
A genuine True Believer could not possibly be happy with that!!!
Oh well. Keep embracing the mediocrity. At least we'll probably keep winning a flag every 140-odd years or so. Carry on.
Re ‘Lets Talk Finals’
He may be incarcerated for his political beliefs, a prisoner of conscience, but he's still our fair dinkum real True Believer. True. Fair dinkum. Real.
Post of the week:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=98572&start=25#p1799751 An excellent rebuttal of waynecarey by Scollop.
Really, Trev...?Trev from the Bush wrote: ↑Thu 20 Jun 2019 7:23pmThe Duck may not be relevant if talking about being a model citizen. But what he doesn't know about football could be written with a Texta on a postage stamp with some space left over.
Good thinking, Duck.
Bet he doesn’t know in which one year of the competition a side won both the wooden spoon, and, the premiership.
Yep, both. In the one same season. (Only happened once.)But more pertinently.................
Good thinking, Duck.Yorkeys wrote: ↑Thu 20 Jun 2019 8:08pmFormer North Melbourne great waynecarey has revealed his predictions for the 2019 season: Richmond, Melbourne, West Coast and Adelaide to make the top four, while backing the Tigers to win their second premiership in three years. Carey believes it will be a tough year down at Moorabbin, labelling St Kilda the team that will disappoint and Alan Richardson as the coach most under the pump. Carey thinks his old team, the Kangaroos, will be the biggest surprise package of the 2019 season. Of course there is time for all that to happen, yes.
2018 predictions :WAYNECAREY: PREMIERS: Sydney (flogged in EF2);RUNNERS-UP: Adelaide (12th)
Carey would not write the articles that appear under his name, would he?, just collect a royalty check for name use. If his predictions are a proxy for "knowing about the game" as opposed to being a phenomenal athlete, then his opinion could be questionable. However
If he had explained why the Saints "improvement" over 2018 was in no way due to Ratten and Lade, that would have been interesting. If he had given one example over 6 years x 20+ games a year where Richo's brilliant tactics had won a game then that would have caught attention as well. We missed the finals in 2016, why, percentage - i.e. did not score enough, but that problem's been fixed, hasn't it.
Yes we have beaten Gold Coast twice this year by an aggregate of a goal (that's one kick). Wonderful effort. If only we had played them twice last year. Richo is a great coach having a run of bad luck and that needs to be recognised no criticised, is that correct.

Not sure that Rooey entirely agrees with waynecarey’s assessments either. (Again, with thanks to Scollop.)

Trev. Don’t you just hate that! You pump up a bloke’s tyres, and then he.........
But not to worry Trev, Jeffed Kennett’s mate Surendra can help with this. (Though you might need to supply the postage stamp.

Stuff to not like:
- Why Paddy didn't (and can't) get concussed again.
- Billings signs on for two more years – only.
Smacks of leaving one’s options door wide open. By then Jack will then be a full-blown free agent. If we’re still crap/choached by <the definite article deleted by Mods> Cho (same thing really), then...

Next week we're doubling-up at the (now free again
) Linton Lodger Stadium:Last week’s team was a disaster waiting to happen when viewed on paper. And a disaster that we didn’t have to wait to happen viewed on grass.
- The forward line was too short. Again. (Though that didn't bloody stop the bombing.
)- Brown should have stayed in.
- Snowy to CHB.
- Battle up forward to give us that missing third marking option. Just watch Bruce and Members being freed up then. And Battle forward would also give someone who can actually kick straight on goal.
INS:
Options we're considering/not considering.................
- Brown. (Should never have been bloody dropped.

Redgum Round Rant
: A lot of mutterings amongst (some) of the natives about how a true supporters wouldn't continually pay out on our beloved club.
Well, a true supporter wouldn't continually put forward inane 'justifications' for continually accepting mediocrity!
To all those TRUE DECEIVERS who still think (well at least, claim) that all is pretty much fine and rosy, and is still right on track, and still think that we should be thankful for how our season has gone to date, and still keep making excuses for mediocrity...... and keep claiming (feigning?) anguish at criticism of those who run our club.......140 years for one flag!!!!!We were last a power circa 2009/2010.
- Who were our competitors? Honkytown, Skunks, Swines and Skid Marks. How have they gone since then???
- Since then, who has plumbed the depths of the ladder? Effendrug, Purple Shockers, Dogs, Brisbane, Melbtank and Carlscum. How are they going now relative to us??? Who is closest to winning a flag????
- How are the club's various membership numbers looking???
Here’s this week's anthem for you......fire up the colour TV and sing along.......you know that we know that you know that you embrace the words.
But for the rest of us. The true supporters. The true believers.
We do bloody well care!!!
It does bloody well matter to us!!!
Thoughts, Rodger? <swoon>
Thoughts, TRUE DECEIVERS?
Thoughts, Saintsationalists?
