What would a good result be?
Unfortunately a win today doesn't mean a lot (although a loss would be very telling). Even a small Saints win is probably a win of sorts to a down-and-out Melbourne.
So what result can we walk away with today and feel that at least we are heading in the right direction? 15 goal belting? 20 goal belting? A dozen different goal-scorers?

Re: What would a good result be?
melbourne might really try.
but assuming a regulation performance from them then i reckon a 10 goal win would be good.
7 goals ahead at half time and 10 goals ahead at 3/4 time. then rest our big guns in the last.
hoping newnes/cripps/stanley/simpkin/milera have days out.

A good result besides a good win....would be getting a feel for the MCG again, and seeing if guys like Milera/Gram/Stanley/Steven can use the space to their advantage given they play the Hawks the following week.

Re: What would a good result be?
Melbourne's best side of the year. Sylvia and Grimes in is huge for them,Sylvia easily there best player.
I really can't see us belting them, I expect the usual ugly Stkilda with a low scoring 23 point win. Hope I'm wrong and we comprehensively thrash them. Would love to see us kick 20 goals again,sheesh,those were the days

Re: What would a good result be?
Just thinking, this game could be just the tonic for Milne to get him into season 2012.
If true he has been a bit unwell, hopefully that's all over now and he can come out and really relish the space of the MCG.

Re: What would a good result be?
A win for us would include the following:
* Dominating the contested footy stats/tackles/clearences.
* Improving our scoring ratio inside 50
* Improved disposal efficiency across the ground, especially going inside 50
* The players improving their understanding of the Watters' game plan
* The younger and less experienced guys getting more mileage into the legs
A loss for us would involve injury, losing some of the important key indicators and an over-reliance on our core group.
Devastating for our aspirations as a club moving forward would be an actual loss.
So all in all, there is more to gain from tonight's game, than people think. I am optimistic that we will tick off our fair share of the positive points I've listed above.

We could do all of that without actually winning the match.The Jeff wrote:A win for us would include the following:

Seeing we are playing such a poor opposition, KPIs like those above are essentially meaningless. If we're any good, we should do all of that anyway. The only respectable result from this match, I feel, is a belting that is reflected on the scoreboard. 180 to 60 or something in that region.

Re: What would a good result be?
Or we could win, comfortably for that matter, without showing enough improvement in these areas that are crucial moving forward. When you are effectively playing a 'non-opposition' it becomes a mission to tick off the most important KPIs to your side. Based on our form this year, and where we've struggled, I want a win that is inclusive of the following:battye wrote:We could do all of that without actually winning the match.The Jeff wrote:A win for us would include the following:
