Followed up one of our worst quarters of the year with one of our best. After the reverse against Sydney a couple of weeks ago. We have the non scoring end in the last so we need to be smart and competitive. Huge opportunity to re-kick start our season!!! C'mon sainters!!!

Oh wow. Flashback to two weeks ago much???

This hurts.

I'm just saying right now. I don't care how unlikely it is we win tonight. We must win or the seasons over. With both north and Freo two games clear we will be too far off the pace.

Must win!

It never should have come to this but a loss tomorrow means season officially over. Stuff relying on others to lose. We now have no chance of making the right unless we win EVERY game for the rest of the year.

Teflon wrote:Amazing comment ... choc ripe for the taking imo...and for opening us up.... I think that the way we've been scoring of late a more open game isn't something I fear as much as I used to

I reckon we have more chance of winning if it's more open. Bring it in I say.

Loving the support from you guys.

Keep it up guys.

No change to leader board this week - still as it was last week.

You know the drill.

1 - winner

2 - most goals

3 - first goal

4 - most touches

5 - final margin



My tips

1 - St Kilda. (yes sp, that makes me clueless and a moron. Come at me)

2 - Roo

3 - Milne

4 - Hayes

5 - 15 points.

LEADERBOARD AFTER ROUND 17 1 - The Jeff - 41 2 - dragit - 37 (CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING FIRST AND SO FAR ONLY POSTER TO CORRECTLY GUESS CORRECT MARGIN VERSUS BRISBANE - 13 POINTS! - Nabbed a 10 point bonus to really make up ground. After it took 12 weeks to happen once, it then almost happened again ...

Leaderboard will be up later. When can we expect the Leader Board. Havn't seen results since the North game - or have I missed it. I think I had them up for Essendon game - can't remember - but since then, been in hospital for a week prior to brisbane (got out night of match) and with no day off du...

Leaderboard will be up later. This week is kind of a bye week since it is up so late and I'm feeling pretty ill and lazy, haha - all you have to do is tip who wins and by how much. Just gives me a chance to catch up. I will also do this for our round 20 match versus Melbourne and round 23 match vers...

Yep

This says it all

They put the foot down in the last. We had a dip but didn't get the job done. Full credit to them in the end. They did put play us even if the umpiring was terrible.

Anyway, have to regroup and beat the bulldogs next week. Looking forward to not travelling for the next six weeks.

Can anyone other than Milne kick a goal for us???

Based on today's effort we can and can't.

That first quarter was terrific and play like that and we will easily do it.

The second quarter was shithouse. Play like that and well lose to melbourne

All the people out there saying lucky not to be eight goals down or whatever, you realise that take out the first quarter and we effectively are. The reason we are so pissed off is we blew a wonderful opportunity after kicking the first five goals of the match.

Unforgivable quarter.

First goalless quarter for the season. Absolutely appalling. The most disgusting soft pathetic effort in that term. It's like we just didn't give a s***. Not good enough. I know Sydney are a good team but some of the efforts in marking contests that quarter was disgusting. I'm furious. We've thrown ...

f*** we are the most frustrating te in the world to watch!!!!

And scores level with another goal

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. I am feeling much better now. Mainly I was just annoyed that SP came into this thread to as usual proclaim that none of us knew anything about football. Um, news flash this is just a bit of fun, that's all! I'm sure some people are topping us even though they...

I am now. Just being selfish and like I said attention seeking.

I may get around to putting up results and leader board later in the week.

Yes, but I didn't bag others for thinking differently…
Are you going to start a thread Saturday morning "Saints will Win" like last time, bet-hedging genius?

All I know is I think dragit is now in front being the first poster to nail the margin. Really? Can't even remember what I tipped… I've been close a few times. But probably don't deserve the bonus points after all my moaning about the rules changing :D This week Sydney Riewoldt Steven Hayes 28 poin...

I'm alright to by the way.

I sure hope this goes the same way as your last acceptable result thread!

seems most logical
