What is an acceptable win against West Coast

Post: # 1217911Post snowdelisaint »

I'd settle for one point or more. Waste of a thread but that's the fashion right now

One point is OK.

If Nic Nat plays, they will probably win. If he doesnt it's 50/50.

I hope that the Coaching panel watched how Essendon took hold of them last week - a few lessons there, I would think.

A win is a win - by any amount.

It's completely winnable.

WC form has been flattered by opponents.

Injuries starting to catch up.

Win.

Its a very winable game. As has been said they are a bit ounded right now and we usually go pretty well at Subi.

With the pace and skill we showed last night I am quietly confidant we can roll them

If we don't win by 6 or 7 goals, I'm gonna be disappointed... :D


But seriously...28 points will suffice


We have a great record at Subi the last 5 years

A goal or more would be good , especially as they are likely to easily win the free kick count !

we have beaten them with nic nat.

they're not unbeatable at all. bombers have shown the afl that now. All we have to do is come and play like we did last night and we can win. presure and attack, win the contested ball.... we can beat them over there. 24 point to the Saints for me! 8-)

GO SAINTS!!

Reckon West Coast have a deeper midfield than Carlton and Carlton were off their game last night, so we'll have to improve again next week to win it I reckon, especially since we have just a six day break and they have 8.

Glad to hear we're going over early, on Friday, though, so instead of the short week being a negative, maybe we'll spend a day at the beach or something, to try and freshen up and give it more of a feel of a holiday to a warmer, sunnier place, if only for just a day, rather than a quick "business trip".

Agree that it's very winnable, especially if we bring the ferocious attack on the man and ball that we had last night.

Don't agree at all. Scum midfield is on par to better then wegals. The SCUM where not off their game last night, they we're in it, our game plan, presure and attack kept them at bay.. this is defeatist rubbish BT was spewing... We beat the scum hands down, not that they played crap so we won. man what game did you watch last night? the scum tried to lift a few times only to be met and beaten in pressure by the saints! Ratten was dazed and confused had no idea what to do.

GET behind the SAINTS!

Please get the f*** off your high horse. I was f****** behind us and yelled myself horse at the game last night, supporting the team, like every week. Not just watching it on the TV and thinking I know everything. You act like a real hero on the other side of the world taking pot shots at us here for simply giving our opinions. Really brave behind your computer. Do you talk like that man to man with someone you meet on the street, or in general life that you don't agree with? I bet you don't have the guts to do that.

I was talking about WC's midfield DEPTH, as they seem to have more of that than Carlton at the moment and having seen Carlton at times this year, including smashing Collingwood, I have no doubt they were off their tucker a bit last night. We were great, but they were definitely not fully switched on and apparently haven't been for the past couple of weeks.

Yet we still only won by about 3 goals. If you think that is going to be enough to beat WC in Perth, when they've had an 8 day break and we have to travel and have just 6, then I reckon you're kidding yourself. I'm not saying we have to play heaps better and WC may also not play their best next week, but i reckon we'll have to step it up another notch again to win over there. They will also be smarting over their loss this weekend and will want to atone.

If you don't agree, I don't give a flying f*** and I sure as s*** won't be doing what you tell me to, just because you tell me to. You've got to be kidding!

I'm not your mate. If you want to be having a crack at someone, how about doing it face to face, man to man, not gutlessly sitting behind your computer. If you don't talk this way to those you meet face to face, they you are seriously gutless and sad.

And by the way, I had high hopes for us against Carlton, as I do every week and have stuck with the side through the thick and thin for 22 years, including buying a membership and going each week in seasons where we were expected to finish at or near the bottom of the ladder. Not that that's any of your business.

I'll take that as a "no, I'm way too gutless to speak to anyone I meet face to face like I do on here".

i am not into man proving on the net. I am more then happy to let someone know when they have pissed me off.

i don't agree that Carlton had an off night, they were beaten. I have supported this club since I was 7 (31 now) so thick and thin I also know all about it. I am allowed to disagree with your comment as it was wrong IMO.

OP - don't worry be happy.
We'll flog the cheats!
We are a lot less predictable than we were last year - plus I reckon the dry paddock of Subi suits our game style. Especially now that we have pace in the forward line.
Wish I could go actually.

Come on guys - we're all Sainters! We all follow the red, white and black. We've all suffered the same taunts when we're struggling. We even cop taunts when we're up and about about our lack of premiership success. Let's show a united front - after all, we're not Richmond supporters :lol:

As an older barracker I find all this flaming over the internet difficult to fathom - especially when we all barrack for the Mighties.

Oh I'd love to get along to this game next Sunday. I've never been to Perth. If we turn up and produce anything like Monday nights performance, I expect we'll tear em a new arsehole. I just wonder if Monday night's performance can be replicated. A real test for the team & coaching department handling the travel with the short break etc.
