It's quite simple buddy, a win is a win and a loss is a loss.
You might take some heart that to date there hasn't been as many blow out scores, however that doesn't change the fact that we lost. Low quality squad, fine why hasn't Flanagan been able to change that the past two years? What has he done to change it for next year? It's almost August and we've signed one player.
Not good enough.
Ultimately if you're assertion that we're a really competitive side was correct, we wouldn't be sitting here at this stage of the season with 6 wins and 12 losses.
How did we go against the tigers in magic round?
How about the bunnies in round two, the eels in round 5?
I could go on but the point stands, if we're such a competitive well coached team surely we win all three of those very winnable games and are sitting with 9 wins now and season still alive.
That's the cold hard truth and no amount of your rubbish apologist outlook posts changes this.

Dear Mr Im Hornby and Friends (alts)
I said its low-quality analysis to only use context that suits your narrative.
Low-capacity people like you do that.
They lack the ability to look past their bias and take on new information. They lack the ability to hold something in both hands at once and they lack the comprehension to understand nuance.
They also tell people what they know about them instead of asking questions. These are all signs of someone of a lower capacity. I'll let the audience decide how many of those might apply to you.
If youd asked I would have said I have plenty of issue with not only the club but also Shane as a coach. Instead however you told me what you want me to think, which suits your argument. Very assumptive, but more so the sign of a dullard.
"if we're such a competitive well coached team surely we win all three of those very winnable games and are sitting with 9 wins now and season still alive."
Again, never said any of this. I believe we have one of
the worst teams in the comp and that includes how they are currently being coached. Youd have known that if you had asked....
I can just apply some critical thought as to why that is the case and not just make things up and move goal posts based on my personal agenda.
Its not being an apologist for thinking Shane
(just going to put this here so you dont forget. I have plenty of issue with Shanes coaching but we are gonna try and hold two thoughts at once here ok?) has had a pretty raw deal in regard to CEO, GM and recruitment. I can also acknowledge that Shane has made a lot of mistakes in that space. See we are having more than one thought at a time now how exciting is this
My issue with people of your particular style. You find it impossible to even say saints could possibly play a good half of football.
Always explaining it away by saying it was orchestrated by the refs or the other team was having a bad game. That lack of being able to hold your feelings which can still be valid whilst also being able to give props where it is due is why I dont care about what you say.
I question your logic and reasoning which isn't sound. Isn't consistent and absolutely isnt impartial.
You use faulty logic and paint opinion as fact. These aren't the traits of someone's opinion worth considering.
Feel free to try again if that ever changes for you though
