Very nervous about WC

Post: # 2016567Post B.M »

We are on a hiding to nothing!

We win - it’s a soft kill

We lose - we are the biggest story of the weekend!

We lose all credibility- which is eroding anyway - media experts basically think we are the team that don’t belong in the 8

WC will come out hard, we are not in good form, I think this is a huge danger game!

All I know is that i'm not coming on here if we lose. At least until the next win.

It’ll be hilarious

Who will Teflon blame?

The players?? It was the coach 12 months ago… maybe finally he’s got it?!

We are a middling list
Ross has had elite lists and couldn’t win a flag - he sure as s*** isn’t doing much with this list!

They will come out breathing fire with nothing to lose

As the game is in Perth and given most of our games are close affairs no matter the opposition ... the $3 being offered for West Coast to get within 30 pts of us looks awfully tempting ..... even the line at 51.5pts is easy money given our current form

I reckon it will end up being a scrappy 4 goal win, similar to the North game, another team we should have beat by 12 goals if we were being serious.

In all reality they probably have a betting list than us but their form is even worse than ours but if they can turn it around after their Sydney debacle we could be in trouble. The main thing in our favour is that they don’t seem to have the desire to win.

WC were competitive against the Pies a few weeks back only being down by 14pts late in the 3rd quarter before being run over.

Neeed to put them away in the 1st quarter or else things may get nervy knowing our gearbox is currently dodgy as the match progresses

Has Adam Simpson been sacked yet? If he survives Monday, he will survive the week.

I’m nervous every time St Kilda plays. Have been for the last 45 years.

We haven’t been great last 5 weeks but we have been competitive, something which West Coast hasn’t been. If we take this lightly and the Eagles get a sniff, we might be in a bit of trouble.

If we lose this, I doubt we’ll win a game for the remainder of the year.

Bytel and Billings need to come in.

If West Coast win, then their players have dogged the last two weeks, again that is on their players & the West Coast FC.

If winning games was as simple as being embarrassed the week before, then St Kilda's history suggests we should have won many more matches.

Thanks, Ross.

Big call to say our list was elite. At best, it was an elite top 6.

Roo, Hayes, BJ, Dal, Joey & Chips. After that, there was Milne and Gardy. Then…

Freo were very much the same. Pav, Ballantyne, Sandilands, Fyfe, Mayne & Mundy. There may have been one or two others, but to say that was an elite list is real stretch.


Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

Lots of stretching goes on when it’s a thinly veiled attempt to discredit Lyon
I think there’s some Russian media among us…

All Australians
Reiwoldt, Dal Santo, Hayes, Goddard, Fisher, Montagna, Gardiner, Milne

If that’s not elite WTF is?!

Throw in
Jones, Gram, Ray, Kosi, Gilbert, Schneider, Blake, Baker

That is an ELITE list

Freo
Pavlich, Fyfe - all time greats
Sandilands, Mundy, McPharlin, Johnson, Ballantine, Walters, Hill, Barlow, Crowley

Seriously A Grade list!

And Ross did pretty well with both

But didn’t get it done
