Where we'll finish....

Teflon · Post: # 572839Post **Teflon** » Sat 24 May 2008 11:53pm

Looking at our draw is an interesting exercise.....games Im not sure on I'll leave as W/L but to me...

Lions = L
Melb = W
Dogs = W/L
Syd = L (away)
Freo - W
Nth = W
Car = W
Haw = W/L
EAGLES = W/L (away)
Port = W (at Dome....doable)
Coll = L (play G well)
Freo = L (away)
Adel = W (dome)
Ess = W

At our optimum I get 14 wins...where that leaves us who knows..
At our worst I get 11......hhmmm.

Im actually quietly confident against both Hawks and Dogs.........for some reason...

I think the worry could be % after all that.......

thoughts?

i think alot rides on tomorrows game, could set the standard for the rest of the season

so far this year we are yet to win a game that we're not supposed to, if u know what i mean

Very hard to pick Tef...

I mean injuries and form but...

I watched the the Port V Sydney game and I just wanted Port to win...

Sydney have a stop...start NO RUN AND PLAY ON GAME that seems so much like US...

Yep Sh1tney won and it was a good game to watch, but they are FARKING BORING AND TOO DEFENCIVE

I just feel we are heading in the same direction and if we ARE time to F*** LYON OFF and now....

I reckon we'll finish a good dozen excuses short of where we should finish.

Thats the spirit Jeff - ALWAYS 100% behind the club as a great supporter.

If we all supported the club like you Teffers we'd have been dead decades ago.

Bit optomistic IMO.

Adelaide play the dome really well. I believe that we will beat the Dogs and agree W/L against Hawthorn as long as we strangle them.

North is no guarantee (record not good here) and Port not likely (Bogey team) but at the Dome possible.

I still rate Collingwood a chance to lose. Probably 13 wins IMO at best.

yeah I don't understand this whole 'pretty to watch' stuff either. Something that is pretty to watch is a win and who gives a rats how it is done.

If you asked 30 000 sainsts followers the question of would they prefer to win ugly or lose pretty I think you'd get 30 000 uglies.

One game at a time, Teffers... one game at a time.

JeffDunne · Post: # 572903Post **JeffDunne** » Sun 25 May 2008 8:39am

How you play is always more an issue when you're losing rather than winning. However I can't ever remember thinking "we came last but Christ we looked good doing it!"

Hence why it's an issue now. We are losing or winning unconvincingly.

The "who cares if it's ugly if you're winning" line really doesn't belong in this conversation because we aren't winning.

It's like the "the gameplan is fine but the players can't carry it out" line.

Who gives a flying if it's a great game plan if we're losing?

When we start winning more than we lose and people are complaining about the style, then the "who cares if it's ugly if you're winning" line should be trotted out. It sounds rather stupid right now.

Would you prefer Grade 2 or Grade 3 English?

I might have difficulty dumbing it down more than that.

Here, I'll make it simple for you : YOU'RE MAKING BULLSH*T EXCUSES!

Relax JD! I know it's game day and all but hey it's Sunday morning.

JeffDunne · Post: # 572910Post **JeffDunne** » Sun 25 May 2008 9:50am

I'm relaxed Cairnsman.

Beautiful morning here in Brisbane and I'm off to watch the Saints play in a few hours.

Couldn't be more relaxed TBH.

I'm just hoping I'm still feeling that way at 4 this afternoon.

6th-10th.

If we win a few 50-50 games we will make top 8, if not, we'll just miss out, again.

twirlyhair · Post: # 572963Post **twirlyhair** » Sun 25 May 2008 1:54pm

Unfortunately the saints are at that point again....this squad can't win a flag...therefore we need to rebuild...we therefore need high draft picks...we need to backwards before we can go forward...

Post: # 572968Post **n1ck** » Sun 25 May 2008 2:03pm

I hope you're right Tef.

I think if we finish up in the 8, we can cause abit of havoc up there.

Abit of confidence can go a long, long way.

Buckets · Post: # 573171Post **Buckets** » Sun 25 May 2008 3:15pm

At this rate in those mighty words of The Castle "Tell him.....he's dreaming". No hope at this stage the way we are playing we wont even get 10 wins. Another wasted year! Why am i so suprised!
