Going early today

[plugger66]

Not to the footy or like con with his big calls but this maybe a big call. We will win today and if we do as i hope then we will beat Freo next week who have little to play for and we will definately have the last games for Kosi and Blake and more likely Milney and even Lenny. First we must win today to get some confidence into a group that is probably lacking some at the moment.

[Saints43]

Great. Thanks.

[plugger66]

Great. Thanks.

No worries.

[saintspremiers]

We really need a win for some reason. Mainly the benefit of the kids and supporters.

This is a dsy game so.lots of kids will be there. They need to see some positives

Freo will eat us for breakfast.

Yep but we could still win the footy game. They wont be feeling 100%.

[noob]

I do too. If we lose today though a win next week against Fremantle will stay make me happy.

i spoke to lenny during the week

he's going around again

They will be resting 7 of their stars against us as they have got their 3rd place fixed. Also since they have to travel for week 1 of the finals it will be just a formality.

IN the paper the bookies had us favourite??? We're third bottom??? Think we'll have a good crack today but we're an injury riddled mixture of babies and just about to retire geriatrics playing a team with 4 more wins than us. How they hell are we favs??

More money is on us.

2009 we rested how many against Hawthorn and belted them by 10 goals.

I don't think Ross will want to hit the finals losing to a bottom 4 side, the guys who get a crack while the stars rest will all be trying to prove themselves.

I'd love to win today and next week, let's get through Gold Coast first up…

Con would be proud of you pluggs.

Suspect Lyon will have learned his lesson from the Saints/Hawks game of 2009, won the battle but lost the war.
Despite winning on a day few expected us to and actually making GF our form after the Hawks game was never the same again.
Have repeatedly heard it said by coaches that you don't flirt with your form.

Actually, on the two occasions under Ross we both played in the finals and had nothing to play for in round 22 (2009 and 2010), we looked like losing to Melbourne until they tanked and got smacked by Adelaide. Freo will be playing bruise-free footy.

[SaintPav]

I'm really pumped up for this week. Can we still make the 8?

Why?

If Brisbane beat Geelong Freo can finish 2nd.

Longshot but is mathematically possible so Freo will go for the win but not a margin just in case of a miracle upset at Cat Park.

No SP. RL isnt that stupid.

We're a chance... just need to win 9 of the last 1 games.

Upsets in the last round of the season have been common over the years for that very reason and the fact that all the teams out of the 8 are playing their Grand final next week and want to go into the pre-season on a high note.

Logic tells me that not enough of our players will be skilful enough or mature enough to manoeuvre their way through Freo's defensive squeeze for 4 quarters but I just have a sneaky suspicion we might be a chance of causing an upset if we can get on top of them early.

I have not looked at the ladder since April. It's been a defense mechanism.
