Port should beat us next week....

saintspremiers · Sat 31 Jul 2010 9:32am

We are soft, they have nothing to lose like Essendon.

They come off a 6 day break, us 7.

Don't get me wrong, we are in with a chance, but the rot will continue in a close loss next week IMO.

Thoughts?

My thoughts firstly is the length of the break is crap and always laugh when people say we got screwed because of the amount of 6 day breaks we get and secondly we will kill Pt Adelaide. If we dont there isnt one excuse that can be used.

None of our remaining opponents have anything to lose and all have found a semblance of form in recent times.

On form, we would lose to all of them. Seriously.

That said I suspect we will kill Port Adelaide. if we do not, season over and the razor gang gets to work on the fringe players who simply refuse to do anything other than be carried by the class.

Port have been a bogey side to us and have everything to gain and nothing to lose, they have players trying to impress their probable new coach and are playing for their football future. We are out of form haven't won for three weeks and looking like we should be in the bottom 4 not the top 4.

Thoughts ??? Think your pretty quick to jump ship, we are in with as much chance as last year.Just remember we switched on come finals time last year and we have 4 weeks to get things back up and running. Trust in the group of players we have !!!!

Port will run and carry like Essendon and unfortunately we don't seem able to be able to counter this kind of footy. Having said that it's about time to start Gilbert in the centre square and either park Milne in the pocket or drop him to Sandy. I think Stanley should come in and play HFF next to Roo and have Lynch next to them.

Because Lynch showed so much capability, of course.

He did NOTHING!

Why reward mediocrity?

He did sweet FA but he needs at least a couple of games to prove himself

We WILL beat Port.
If we don't, we may as well start preparing for next year. We are too good a team to allow that to happen. Lets see it boys

don't think we can beat Port. Seems like they have found some form

yes terrible.

They are within a goal of the Hawks in Tassie

saintsRrising · Sat 31 Jul 2010 6:47pm

The key to the Hawks is Hodge...and he has had a shocker.

And yes PA win by 8 points..
2 wins to Primus their new coach.

sorry my bad....I wasn't watching it, don't have Foxtel!

In any case, a win is a win, they just beat the Hawks, something we couldn't manage to do.

Interesting to see the odds for next week, my guess is Saints at about $1.80 the Power $2.35

Mr Magic · Post: # 965770Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 31 Jul 2010 6:57pm

Interestingly, the comment was just made by somebody on SEN that Hawthorn looked like they were 'struggling to lift their legs' and seemed to be 'running on the spot'.

Now as I'm typing this, the comment is that 'the game last week between Hawthorn and Saint Kilda was brutal' - 'both teams have shown this weekend that they have had a lot taken out of them'.

makes me give us a LITTLE bit of leeway but hell there is a big difference between running out of legs and not starting the game with any passion for the contest

Tiredness and lethargy can be both a physical and mental thing.
I just wonder?

If we don't beat Port and beat them comfortably, then as RL said it's a waste of time for us to be in the finals.
We have to find forms, and goals.

Port should beat us next week....
