9 wins

[twirlyhair]

I hoep I am worng about this, but with our tough run home, I can see only six more wins left in us this year...

[bozza1980]

I think you've taken the hardest possible look at our season.

That said I am optimisitic but here are my thoughts....

RICHMOND (TD) will start favourites and win
COLLINGWOOD (TD) will start underdogs but Collingwood are going as badly as we are
BRISBANE LIONS (G) will start underdogs
MELBOURNE (TD) will win comfortably
WESTERN BULLDOGS (TD) will start underdogs but I still think we are a chance
SYDNEY SWANS (TS) underdogs but Sydney always gives us a chance
FREMANTLE (TD) favourites and will will win
NORTH MELBOURNE (C) unsure, but we will win
CARLTON (MCG) will win
HAWTHORN (TD) underdogs but as we showed at TD last year we can beat them
WEST COAST EAGLES (S) they are going ordinary but still a hard trip
PORT ADELAIDE (TD) haven't played at TD for 6 or so years a big chance
COLLINGWOOD (MCG) a chance
FREMANTLE (S) they are useless this could be for our season
ADELAIDE (TD) can beat them here
ESSENDON (TD) will beat them

We'll win a minimum of a further 8 games this year.

The big big issue is our inability to kick damaging scores at the moment, and the dreaded foot-off-the -accelerator quarter. Teams with good forward structures will give us problems this season.

[LENNY LEADS THE WAY]

15 wins for the year hehe i don't think so

[twirlyhair]

we wont beat brisbane in brisbane

[LENNY LEADS THE WAY]

I'll be happy with 9 more wins taking us to 12 for the season is this possible i frigging hope so

[Ralphy]

its defently possible, for us to win 9 more,

COMON SAINTS

More than 12, 12 will get u into the 8 if ur lucky,

14 to 15 to see urself in the 4

interesting that we played port at their home ground of aami stadium after they had just came back from Perth the week before...
then when they go to the Dome to play us again, it will be us who has just made the trip back from Perth the week before.

[desertsaint]

12 wins may not make the 8 - our percentage will work against us - the boys need to learn to crush teams and not take the foot off the pedal - remember a few years back when we'd thrash the inferior clubs (milney v brisbane a perfect example) -should have done the same to essendon and carlton this year.
Hope and expect us to crush Richmond

[bigcarl]

The big big issue is our inability to kick damaging scores at the moment.

and yet our most reliable proven goal-kicker hasn't been able to get a game. go figure

[Go Sainters Go]

If and only on the basis of our boys getting their A Grade game going and attack, attack, attack we are capable of winning 14 games out of the remaing 16, losing to Brisbane at Gabba and Hawthorn at TD OR C'wood at MCG.
I am an optimist I'll admit but my prediction is very possible if the team performance is improved to the level I believe they are capable.

[Winmarvellous]

I pick 7. A few 50-50s at the moment which could put us up to 12, or not.

[Solar]

anyone got the tatts numbers for sat night?

personally I always try to focus on the week coming up. The week after at the most.

[St. Luke]

It's too hard to predict the mindset of the team at this stage of the season. Let's face it, they've had a big wake up call in recent weeks but none more harsher than the last week. Amazing some of the things that can turn teams. I've seen it happen literally overnight with the Saints before....it can sure happen again. Don't write us off so fast!

[sainter104]

Im as disapointed as anyone with our form so far but i still expect another 11 wins this season and a top 4 finnish AND a real shot at the premiership!!! BEFORE our window closes. GO SAINTS.. Still Believe or burn for me.

we lost the first 4 in '97, got roasted in the media, heart to heart with Alves during the week, made the GF, wouldda won with football's biggest twat P Everitt playing. Never underestimate the ability for a roasting from the public, some embarrassing performances, and coach's preparedness to axe the fioras, fishers, blakes to get the point made things need to improve - i agree that brisbane in brisbane and hawthorn at TD are thorny, the rest are all winable.

if he wanted to prove the pont he would drop Gram , dal and kosi not three players already on the fringe

12 wins would put us just in the 8 or just out of the eight i would rather finish in the bottom 2 then finish ninth at least we could pick up Natanui or Rich finishing 15th or 16th if we are to botom out i would rather it now then in the next few years when the GC rapes the draft !
