Do we barrack for Syd or Ade this weekend.

Sainter_Dad · Mon 21 Jul 2008 5:14pm

A belief that we can finish fourth tells us to barrack for Adelaide
A belief we may struggle to make the eight means we should barrack for Sydney.

My support will be firmly behind the Crows (with knives for the after party)

I can't barrack for Adelaide on the best of occasions, not after '97.

I think Adelaide winning will be better for us. They won't finish above us, and it will give us a shot at 4th.

Will always barrack against the swans...after the 05[Hall "Love tap" on Maguire] premiership gift from Andrew and his corrupt sidekicks

Don't want them anywhere near top 4...farcical that they have the extra 2 points as well after the 19 th man against North

...shame the blues didn't spoil their season yesterday

saintsRrising · Mon 21 Jul 2008 5:39pm

I hate to say it...but go Crows......as I would love to get top 4 if we can and we need the Swans to lose 2 or more games.

However the Crows have a softer draw than the Swans....so if your focus is just definately making the 8...goes Swans.

The Swans run home...

Round 17 Sat 26 Jul Adelaide SCG
Round 18 Sun 3 Aug Western Bulldogs Manuka Oval
Round 19 Sat 9 Aug Fremantle SCG
Round 20 Sat 16 Aug Geelong Telstra Stadium
Round 21 Sat 23 Aug Collingwood Telstra Dome
Round 22 Sat 30 Aug Brisbane SCG

The Crows run home:

Round 17 Sat 26 Jul Sydney SCG
Round 18 Sat 2 Aug Carlton AAMI Stadium
Round 19 Sun 10 Aug Richmond AAMI Stadium
Round 20 Sat 16 Aug Essendon Telstra Dome
Round 21 Sun 24 Aug St Kilda Telstra Dome
Round 22 Sat 30 Aug Western Bulldogs AAMI Stadium

Personally I can't see Adelaide winning more than 3 games this season (and even that would be lucky) I just hope that this week they manage to beat the swans...

evertonfc · Post: # 607341Post **evertonfc** » Mon 21 Jul 2008 6:18pm

Adelaide won't finish above us with their horrendous injury troubles.

We have to be ambitious and target 4th. Go Crows.

Hell, I supported Carlton ferociously on Sunday and would do the same again.

Cairnsman · Post: # 607364Post **Cairnsman** » Mon 21 Jul 2008 6:51pm

Probably Adelaide to get a chance at the top 4 but it doesn't matter if we don't just keep winning. We need to go into the finals with 10 straight wins so as to develop an strong aura that might get Geelong thinking negative thoughts.

Oh yeah after they will have won 40 of their last 42 games!!!!! They will be real negative!

Let's finish 8th and blow those wankers Collingwood out of the finals in the first week

Mr Magic · Post: # 607373Post **Mr Magic** » Mon 21 Jul 2008 7:04pm

I just want to finish higher than Brisbane.
I don't want to play an elimination final in Brisbane!

BakesFan · Post: # 607375Post **BakesFan** » Mon 21 Jul 2008 7:06pm

Swines or Crows?? I couldn't give a fat rats!!

We're storming home undefeated for the rest of the season; so what those two scum teams do doesn't worry me in the least.

GO SAINTERS!!!!!

it should worry you. i really want sydneys 4th spot.
could mean we get a home final in week 2 of the finals rather than go to sydney.

A drawer and a hospital ward filled with injuries please. Oh, that's nasty...maybe lots of reports would be better, but not hopeful there'd be any reports against the protected species, or Adelaide, now that Burton's out!

Sainter_Dad · Tue 22 Jul 2008 1:12pm

Also 4th place means we play Geelong in the first week - and win - we go on to have a week off - lose and we dont meet Geelong until the Grand final (if they get through).

Yep. Geelong in the first week isn't such a bad thing - it means (provided we won our home final the next week) we'd play either Hawthorn or the Dogs for a spot in the Grand Final - where anything could happen.

That's why fourth is worth its weight in gold this year.

SaintWodonga · Tue 22 Jul 2008 1:19pm

I hate Swans (because of Plugger deal)

I hate the sCrows (97 GF)

So let's hope for injuries to both of the teams!

SydneySainter · Tue 22 Jul 2008 2:21pm

Being a Sydney boy, I hate the Swans with a blood passion and could never barrack for them, regardless of the potential outcome. It's the local supporters that fuel my hatred, bloody band-wagoners who know nothing about football. Some are even so naive, they refer to the Swans as "entertaining".

97 will always hurt, but that's the charm of our club, hope the Crows bound them.

Batnoe · Post: # 607880Post **Batnoe** » Tue 22 Jul 2008 2:25pm

If we win the next 6th, we should finish 4th, but we would also need Sydney to win no more than 4, so if that is the case........ lets hope they lose this week against the Crows, the crows wont make the finals and if they do they wont do anything in there so i want them to keep on winning to knock out a Lions or Magpies

Banger2Plugger · Tue 22 Jul 2008 2:27pm

I don't care about anyone else
I don't care about anything else other than;
1. We make the finals
2. We beat Collingwood! (even if its by 1 point)

Then my footy season will almost be complete!

Schillaci · Post: # 608054Post **Schillaci** » Tue 22 Jul 2008 6:39pm

I'm going to barrack for the saints

IluvHarvey · Post: # 608057Post **IluvHarvey** » Tue 22 Jul 2008 6:51pm

I barrack for the saints no-one else.

sax · Post: # 608113Post **sax** » Tue 22 Jul 2008 8:48pm

Don't really care!
But, if you look at it realisticly, we should hope Adelaide win (even though I hate them soooo much

).
The reason being we play Adelaide later in the year and can make sure we stay above them, anyway, by winning the games we SHOULD!
I'll be barracking for St. Kilda this weekend!
