    It’s been particularly bad in this one, it really does detract from the game.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

        Giants have a nice lead early in the 4th but haven't put St.Kilda away just yet. C'mon Giants!

          Giants seem to have steadied.....back out to 31 pts.

            You're being unfair Stevo. It's only been just over 40 years since a non-Victorian team joined the league. You need to give the commentators time to adjust!

              Happy to say their bias will go unrewarded.....Giants home!

                Oh, bad luck Saints! You must be devastated.

                Please tell me you're devastated!

                  Don't get the hatred.

                    Agree. The least obnoxious team and fans.

                      The commentary did involve Luke Darcy, which explains a lot.

                      I’m on Brisbane from here, thank you very much.

                        It's a South Melbourne thing. Our enemies from the other side of the lake affectionally known as "The Scum".

                          I’d like to think I’m a pretty positive person in general, and try to not be too negative about people who are presumably just doing the best they can; but I lamented to Stella Jr today that I’m disappointed whenever I realise it’s the Luke and Jobe combo because I know I’m going to be complaining about them to him and really having to try hard not to pick up on every little thing.

                            I normally love my finals, but found it hard to get excited about Saints/Giants. Still flat from last night perhaps. But the commentary did not help - not so much the barracking, just the sheer yelling which seems to have gone next level.

                            Looking forward to tonight though, may as well go with the Lions now.

                              I have many, many reasons for thoroughly disliking St.Kilda. Too many to list here.

                              The main reason is is that from 1961 till the Swans went to Sydney, I went to the football every week, to every team's ground. I found St.Kilda fans to be the most obnoxious, overbearing and aggressive of the VFL fan bases. Fully understand that not many people agree with me - maybe I stood in the wrong areas! There must be nice St.Kilda supporters - I've just never met any.

                                I remember when the games were played for the Lake Premiership. There was rivalry but not hatred. A section of fans at Moorabbin were pretty feral. I'll admit I only went there a couple of times.
