We will beat the Dons.

I do not know why but have a strong feeling that we will beat the Dons. More so becasue we have not beaten them for the last 5 times & I do not think that we are so poor that we cannot workout their game plan after loosing for last 5 times.

Also as Rossy said today that we are no longer the hunted & will start hunting.

The third reason being its a milestone game for our Skippers 200th.

The other fact is that we played on a Friday & the Dons played on Sunday which was also a interstate trip.

We will find out by Sunday evening whether I am correct.

We have only lost the last 3, not 5 (unless you are counting NAB Cup?). Our last win against them was Round 8 in 2009, we won by 19 points.

Also think we are a good chance to lift for Roo but we will need to be on, and play a lot smarter than we have in the past against them.

felt the same way since i heard ross and roo speak today.been an absolute emotional wreck since lenny went down, been feeling were finished but after that interview i cannot believe how confident i am of a win on sunday!!

I am only ever hopeful....

hopeful we'll win

hopeful Ross will make some real changes and not just shuffle the same old players in for the outs....

Dempsey Hill and Meyers all are likely to miss.

We must.

God I hope we beat them, but I am highly sceptical that we will.

I'm feeling confident too for some reason. Can't work out why, perhaps because Lenny is gone, the team has to lift like last year when Roo went down.

The bookies think so too (just):

Sportsbet: Saints $1.82; Bombers $2.00

The bookies agree with whoever is handing over the cash.

But regardless, this week has been a bad one injury-wise for the Saints (Lenny, Geary, Bakes), plus Gram causing some dissent in the ranks, and Lyon (according to Gram) being pushed to inject a handfull of unknown players, can't help but think that punters are a little hesitant to throw their pensions on us this week.

I think I'll be tipping us by a very slim margain, once again.

That'd be a win...4 points, we'd be essentially W1 - L2!!!

To bump our percentage up to exactly 100 we will win by a point.

Dunno what everyone is worrying about, the Essendon bubble has already burst, and we are going hunting for bombers.. don't expect anything less than an 8 goal win by the Sainters who will turn it on this week thanks to a prod from Grammie.

Training for a moon landing, apparently.

I wouldnt be to worried about that. There wasnt even training yesterday apart from touch. You would be amazed how many players wear them early in the week.

They're the ugg boot of 2011. But he is reported as injured and doubtful for the weekend, which would effect the punters.

Probably because if he is out we may start shorter odds.

Only because others would have thought I was knocking one of our players. I will make more effort in future not to use them.
