Are St.Kilda Playing Dead!!

[Devilhead]

Is there one single iota of a chance that we are playing dead??

When Lyon was at Sydney they were renowned as being slow starters before eventually putting it together towards the end of the season

Could we be holding back ie: trying a few different set ups - covering all bases - so we know what set ups work an what set ups don't work come finals time

Could it be that we know that we can turn it on at any stage and therefore know we can make the finals quite easily

Could it be possible that we playing a game of cat and mouse??

Last year we started slow and finished stronger - held back by a few injuries - this year is we are in a similar position albeit one win more advanced

I put it too you my fellow Saintsationalists is it possible to pull off in this day and age of AFL Football a "Dope on the Rope - Rumble in the Jungle" Premiership Victory

I always thought that if we made the finals last year there would have been a few teams crapping themselves that we had made it and I believe the same goes for this year

If we are feigning crapness then watch out!!!

[Devilhead]

I'm not saying that we are I am asking if it is possible - remember tis a long season

[bigred]

lol...

righto.

Hold back and then make a run for a top four spot.


pfft.

[Selhurst Saint]

Yes, but not on purpose.

[Shaggy]

Yes, but not on purpose.

Got to laugh

[Behind Play]

May be their after Tobin Brothers as a major sponsor.

[degruch]

Well...you saw what happened last year...we'll do it again, no doubt. Hopefully we'll be at least one position better.

[Dis Believer]

No - not playing.

[Stillwaiting]

Nice thought, but no way

Hey Devilhead..........I am a subscriber of your theory of "playing dead"....But there is one aspect that does not fit in the theory....those dreadful misses in front of goal...............

Isn't it plainly obvious those misses are part of the grandmaster plan to deceive and lure other top 8 teams into a false sense of superiority before we unleash the beast and make them pay for their arrogant insolence

[bigcarl]

there's a few that might as well be.

Only if you say so Devihead!!!!

I was listening to Jarrod Malloy last Saturday calling the Adelaide/Richmond game. he mentioned a couple of times that Adelaide go through different times of heavy/light training through the year to peak at different times and hopefully August/September.
I seem to recall us doing that after the year we won 10 in a row and faded away.
I don't think it's a bad idea, but it's risky and can end up with egg on our face.

[steph]

wow talk about optimism!!

In order to "know and not know what works come finals time", we might wanna use our absolute brilliance to actually make those finals?!?!?

[linz]

I'll smoke, drink or eat whatever you're having.

[perfectionist]

No, but we should be and should have been since round 1 2007.

[bergsone]

I'll smoke, drink or eat whatever you're having.

Think he better pass it over surely his had enough

Perhaps Lyon is taking a little too much from Roos after all...

[SteveStevens66]

Boring, uninspired football characterised by woeful skills, our best players spending inordinate amounts of time on the bench, players played unfit or out of position, the team losing games, the supporters increasingly disillusioned and unlikely to sign up for membership next year in the numbers we need. Yep, it's all part of RL's master plan!

[Saintschampions08]

Well...you saw what happened last year...we'll do it again, no doubt. Hopefully we'll be at least one position better.

Even if we'd finished 8th, or 7th or even 6th for that matter last year.

We would have been knocked out first week. You can manipulate it how you want, but the cold hard fact is we only beat 4 top eight teams throughout the whole year.

We don't cut it with the top 8.

[sunsaint]

Yep dead in the track...waiting for the screen to be placed round the horse.
I think you have a touch of sunstoke Devilhead

That doesn't mean we won't make the 8...if we do, that's an improvement, therefore, positive.
