No one will remember a win this week in 5-10 years time

Your right MT, but they sure will remember the spoon.

I beg to differ, AFL fans don't often have great memory when it comes to spoons. In 10 years they will only remember who won the spoon within the last couple of years

The obvious one is Brisbane. Spooners in 98 to Triple-time premiers in 2001-3 although they played finals 3 years in a row before 98 and it was mass injuries that caused them to finish last in 98.

Winning the spoon no longer has the stigma it use to have. What use to be "you're crap" is now "good list management"

With Adelaide beating Scumwood tonight wonder what sort of frame of mind St Kilda will be in tomorrow knowing that their finals dream is that a dream?

Andrew Thompson's and possibly Robert Harvey's (?) last game. The Saints could still want to win badly to give them a winning send off. At least we won't have to put up with cocky Saint supporters if they do win today.



This is now a danger game ......................................... of us winning

Agree wholeheartedly. Sick of being beaten by St Kilda. Time to draw a line in the sand.

was at the game last night HT74 the skunks started leaving from behind the goals 15 minutes into the last quarter they are terrible supporters throwing plastic bottles onto the ground after what they thought was a bad umpiring decision when a skunk player kick the ball out of bounds it was paid as delibrate & crows scored a goal from the play then they stated leaving  Joffa was very quite

Yeah saw the decision on TV and I agreed with it. Wakelin had no other intention but to get it over the line from 15 m in the field of play. Its not as if a player has been deemed to have kicked a goal when the ball is 2 metres in front of him and the goal umpire is starstruck by that player running towards him. Now that was game changing and disheartening.
As for their attitude Pies fans have always had a poor approach. Never stay to the bitter end. After all I remember 3 weeks ago when we beat them they were on their way 12 mins into the final quarter after Pets goal and with them its never their team is just crap. Its umpires its anything but their crap side.
