How can they concentrate on football?

Post: # 1032086Post WinnersOnly »

How can they concentrate on football when there has been so many off field distractions in past 12 months? There continual dramas have to eventually take there toll.

They talk about the Saints Bubble - it's more like the Saints Pimple! Festers for a week or two then pops Shyte everywhere only to reappear somewhere else just as ugly !

Yep you're correct - it really affected them during 2010.
I think they should sack Westaway, Lyon, Roo, Hayes & Baker for the nightclub, BJ (he's got a brother in jail), Dal, Gram for allowing Lovett into his home, Milne & Montagna, Zac for being in the photograph, Gilbert for taking the photos, Armo for going where Gilbert had been, Gardiner for being a bad boy in WA.

Anybody else that I've missed?
Oh yeah -
Raph for having chronic injuries
Lynch for having a bad debut game
Kosi for breathing
Schneider for missing gettable goals in the 2009 GF
Dempster becasue he's one of Lyon's favourites
Ditto Eddy

It's December so I'm not too worried atm unless court proceedings drag on into the season and clash with fixtured games.

How do people go back to work and concentrate on their jobs after major personal tragedies? I don't know, but they do it every day.

This incident was hardly a tragedy. It was a little bit embarassing, that's all.

They're professional footballers. Concentrating on football is what they're paid to do.

I suspect they're all sitting in the rooms trembling and mumbling to themselves convinced the sky's gonna fall...

For sweet jesus sakes...

On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

Look I'm not a psychologist but while all this crap is going on in the media we are not focusing on the fact that we pulled up short at the final hurdle.

While we are defending ourselves against the stupidity of a rabid media it gives us a new reason to attack the season with something to prove.

Sometimes a little distraction is just what is needed.

Do you reckon Dal might be a bit nervous when he runs out for the first time next year?

Better this happen now so that if there is any rift in the team it can heal, rather than say mid season or worse September.

Yes he should be, there cannot be too many men in the WORLD who have held their penis in their hand and looked at it in a private situation, so it really sets him apart!

Didn't do Milne's game any harm, if anything it fires him up... let's hope it does the same for big Dal.

Just as long as he doesn't do a Winmar! :shock: :wink:

It looked quite flaccid, so who knows what it's like when it's up and about!

He may need to take it back to the VFL to harden it up :wink:
