...about the result of this week's game.
In the last four years, with two rounds to go:
In 2007, we were 9th, 2 points out of the eight. We lost one and won one but finished 9th with 11-1-10.
In 2008, we were eighth, 4 points clear. We won both easily and finished 4th with 13-9.
In 2009, we were 1st, having lost our first game for the year. We played North in round 21 and lost, but won the next week and still finished first (20-2), two games clear of 2nd.
In 2010, we were 3rd, assured of a top 4 spot, and needing one win to finish 3rd. We won against Richmond and lost to Adelaide, so finished 3rd (15-1-6).
Currently, we are 10-1-9.
At the moment, I'm hopeful.

I've done a few calculation on the Bat-computer, and it tells me that we've never lost a Round 23 game....
1991: Beat Brisbane by 120
1992: Beat Melbourne by 15
1994: Beat the Filth by 2
That's good enough for me. I'm confident.
(Happy to be proven wrong by anyone a bit more savvy with AFL stats...)

I haven't enjoyed this season from a Saints point of view- I expected us to come out with determination to finish off the unfinished business, but instead it's been hot and cold, major injuries, big name players looking ordinary... I think it's only RLs game plan drilled into the team that somehow got us on the verge of finals, as it hasn't been from any inspirational performances from our stars and if your star players just going along, then success in the big games is hard to achieve. I think we can beat North, but the finals will bring us undone unless Roo, Goddard, Montagna and NDS really pull their fingers out from hereon in.

hopeful.
Thought we were bit lucky to get over the line last time we met the kangas, and while they've arguably improved, we've just been holding our form at best. Really hoping we have another gear, but we couldn't find it last week when the stakes were similarly high.
