Saints currently in 7th spot ..

[Sainter_Dad]

Stuffed it up - Saints 7th - Hawthorn to overtake us if they win - but will be in the 8 at the end of the round

[saintsRrising]

Pretty meaningless at present.

A rise up the ladder with a good win over the GC counts for not much at all.

It is however good to secure a % boost unlike last time we played GC.

[perfectionist]

We do play the Suns again in Round 11.

[saintbrat]

I know it's only round 2
and yes I know there's long way to go
and yes I know we played one of the teams from the bottom of the ladder

BUt if I was to leave it all now I could say we are above Cats, Pies and Hawks + 60%

wish I was meeting some of theri fanantical supporters in the next few days

If you are I hope you arent stupid enough to mention the ladder. if thay had a footy brain they would just dismiss you.

Best result for non Hawks/Cats fans today

[chook23]

Sydney Adelaide and North have a huge adavantage given their draw......................

is a real blight this afl fixture.

Norths draw is unbelievable.

Does it truly help though?

I don't think getting there easy helped the Pies much in....was it 2009 they had the super soft draw?

May well keep some one out of the 8....who in fact could be a better side but with a tougher fixture.

fact it might not help them in finals is not the point.....

compromised competition.................stinks.

The only thing is i would have expected to have won all 3 games and I ma pretty sure you would have too withy the draw. lets face it most Saints supporters think we are one win short.

You telling me how I think now?

Interesting.

I'm happy with two wins from the three, and think they are capable of winning some that you maybe have put a cross next to....see I can do it to

Win next week, we'll potentially be top 4...sue me if I think that's not bad considering last year.

Sydney Adelaide and North have a huge adavantage given their draw......................

is a real blight this afl fixture.

Teams that clubs play twice

North ------ GWS, GC, Bulldogs, Essendon, WCE ===== 3 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard
Adelaide---- GWS, GC, Port, Freo, Geelong ======== 2 easy, 2 medium, 1 hard
Sydney----- GWS, Bulldogs, St Kilda, Geelong, Hawks== 2 easy, 1 medium, 2 hard

A good draw for these 3 teams right.... but look at who we get twice.....

Saints------- GC, Bulldogs, Melbourne, Sydney, Carlton= 3 easy, 1 medium, 1 hard

On the face of it, our draw is looking pretty favourable too..... For comparison, if we are to grab 4th spot, our likely competitors....

Collingwood - Essendon, Hawthorn, Carlton, WCE, Geelong = 1 medium and 4 hard
Geelong------ Dogs, Adelaide, Swans, Hawks, Collingwood = 1 easy, 2 medium, 2 hard
Hawks-------- Port, Sydney, WCE, Geelong, Collingwood == 2 medium and 3 hard
WCE--------- Brisbane, North, Freo, Hawks, Collingwood == 3 medium and 2 hard
Carlton------ Brisbane, Richmond, Essendon, Saints, Pies == 4 medium, 1 hard

Sure, but who our likely competition for the 4th spot in the top 4?

WCE and Carlton are flying, the Hawks are going ok but the Cats are 1 down already as are the Pies.
Btw all have siginificantly tougher draws than us too.

Cats and Pies are two down Richter...

[saintspremiers]

I agree with plugger. I had us penciled in to be 3 zip now.

But if we are 4 and 1 after round 5 that is par IMO.

Sure, but they have both had tougher starts to the season than us and would probably have expected to be 2-1 and so both are a game down on that (does that make sense?)
