Re: Just a feeling
I have that feeling every year about this time. Called optimism. Or is it one-eyed?
Anyway, I agree. Think we will surprise a few people this year. And hopefully helped by distractions at other clubs.

Re: Just a feeling
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feelin)
Ah that could be the new saints song ...

Re: Just a feeling
Yep, me too. Stronger than usual for that fleeting moment. If it turns out those buggers, or the Pussies in 2009, were on the gear, my hatred will just soar. It's pretty high now mind you.bergholt wrote:I've had that feeling once ever, for about four minutes in September 2010.Verdun66 wrote:I have that feeling every year about this time.

Re: Just a feeling
Yep - my innards are telling me that we are in for a good one.
I think we'll surprise many doubters this year.
Go Saints!!

Re: Just a feeling
Lucky 13 for some.
Maybe the new lucky number for the Saints in 2013.
100 years ago the in 1913 the Saints lost to Fitzroy by 13 points.
Not lucky if we lose to our next apponent by 13 points though.
Re feeling though; I think we will win our next one out of the blue
a bit like the 1997 year when we were stuffed a third of the way through & made a long charge.
Live in hope

to win it stanley would have to be a gun full back.
Maister kick 50 goals +
newnes become a gun mid
hickey a gun ruck
siposs a gun sweeper
If all of those 5 things happen we will be very dangerous.

Re: Just a feeling
You can get us at $52 on Betfair for the flag.
But we are much shorter at $34 on a few other sites!

Re: Just a feeling
I am actually pretty bullish on all of those things apart from Stanley which I and neither here nor there with. Our defense is whats holding us back from being a top 4 team imo - especially after yesterdays effort - it was almost like there were 36 of us running around out there!bergholt wrote:Agreed, but I reckon you'll be lucky to get one or two.Con Gorozidis wrote:to win it stanley would have to be a gun full back.

Re: Just a feeling
I reckon that probably even more importantly we would need Armo & Steven + another to become elite, we are really lacking A-grade midfield depth... Lenny, Dal, Joey - excellent... But need 2 or 3 more of that class/consistency.Con Gorozidis wrote:same for mebergholt wrote:I've had that feeling once ever, for about four minutes in September 2010.Verdun66 wrote:I have that feeling every year about this time.

I don't think we can expect Newnes to play midfield consistently yet, he just won't have the core strength yet, but he could well play most if the season in Gram/Goddards spot.
Stanley, we keep waiting, will it happen, could still really be anything.
We are a bit like a relay team, a handful of 30 year olds trying hand over the baton to a bunch of 20 yet olds... Whether we drop it in the process is the big question?
I think the group will be aiming to make the 8 this year...

Re: Just a feeling
Not going to happen. Purely because too many others are cheating and we don't stand a chance. Call me jaded, but I believe that our game has taken a massive hit today. Worse than when the commission report came out claiming there was widespread drug use in Football codes and then the AFL comes out less than a week later saying 'not us, we are squeaky clean bar possibly 1 player (as we all know the 1 team with doping of multiple players will get away with it, they have been cheating for years and always manage to be let off the hook!!!).

Me too, and then it all got taken away.bergholt wrote:I've had that feeling once ever, for about four minutes in September 2010.Verdun66 wrote:I have that feeling every year about this time.
But it makes me wonder if it was all taken away by questionable means.
And if not that game, then the following week's replay.

Re: Just a feeling
I'd be upset if Stanley did turn out to be a gun FB...should be heading forward from ruck where he's dangerous, rested on the half flank. Anything else would be a loss.St Ick wrote:I am actually pretty bullish on all of those things apart from Stanley which I and neither here nor there with.

Re: Just a feeling
i can't help but have the same premiership delusion every year.
this year is no different

Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.
