What's an acceptable result vs Pies?
Only a win due to our finals hopes.
If we lose, we may end up playing Round 23 on Father's Day.

Re: What's an acceptable result vs Pies?
On the face of it, a loss under four goals would be acceptable, but given we've had too many 'honourable losses' in 2012, only a win will do!

Gotta win the close ones. Hawks wont try to win, in order to help us, FFS.
You make your own luck, guys and girls.

A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

That's one for the team, not the supporters. All we can do from outside the boundary line is hope things go our way.WellardSaint wrote:A female footy scribe wrote "dont hope for things to go your way, MAKE them go your way !"

"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."

Don't be a jughead SP, you've asked this question before!
For gawds sake man we are playing the filth.
Only a WIN is acceptable, by 1 point or 60 points, I don't care.
Get a life SP.

If I have to put up with that crowd, only a win is acceptable !
There are no "honourable losses" at this time of the year - we are at the business end.

Re: What's an acceptable result vs Pies?
An accptable result will be if on Monday morning when I'm reading Robbo's column "The tackle" that I don't spew my conflakes all over kitchen table while reading about how Travis Cloke is back after kicking 10 goals and how Dale Thomas played his best game since GF2 and how Buckley is heading for AA selection. I will probably will stick a spoon in my eye if that happens.

i won't be too unhappy with a three goal loss.saintdooley wrote:or are people going to be happy with a loss? get real...
we're not as good as collingwood, the only question is how much better they are. if we lose by eight goals then that means we're definitely not going to beat geelong - then we're not going to make the eight but we're not top eight quality anyway, so the season's over. if we lose by three goals then i'd still give us some chance of beating geelong and so making the eight.

From a purely spectator and beating the filth point of view, what's better, 1 point win or a 60 point win?
60 points and their ferrals may just shut up, 1 point is entertaining to watch them go nuts at umpires etc etc
