‘There’s always next year’
Spare a thought for St Kilda supporters. Their club was founded in 1873, and in the 149 years since, they’ve only won a single flag, and that by the barest of margins (Barry Breen you beauty). Fifty six years have now passed since that heroic last Saturday in September 1966. But for unpredictable bounces of the ball late in Grand Finals, they could have won in 2009 and 2010. The agonizing pain of defeat continues, but as lack of success follows lack of success…proud and defiant Saints supporters say there’s always next year.
Of late I’ve noticed an increasing number of posts critical of our Battler, and questioning a whole raft of issues. Return fire has quickly followed questioning the author‘s motives. If we are reasonable, I think we can all understand why dissent is inhabiting our forum...some of us are worried.
Those of us who got in early, have been able to assemble our holdings for quite modest investments. Although we can still feel frustration and impatience from a lack of success, spare a thought for those who invested later. No doubt they are also suffering anxiety and fear, because they’re in the red…some pretty deeply. Let’s use a bit of empathy and show a little kindness in the debates.
Certainly I would like to see things moving faster, but as some would know, I’m a true believer. In the next twelve months, our Battler will be riding high, giddy with success, dissent will be absent, and we’ll all be happy little Vegemites. If our share price is not at least $5.00 by this time next year, I’ll shout everyone here lunch at The Briars…Fact knows where this is.
Just like Sainters say…there’s always next year !!
