The Adelaide game is a MUST WIN

Post: # 1490439Post sainters85 »

We won't win the Richmond game considering that they beat us buy 44 points in their poor part of the season and now they're in excellent form.. The Adelaide game is a sneaky chance for us to win, so that the boys have some confidence heading into the preseason and to give Lenny a proper send off rather than just being belted and have Lenny walk through a guard of honour after being smashed.. We just need to execute the basic things right and convert and we're not as bad as it looks :)

Would be incredible because it will be next to impossible. Considering they beat us by 80+ at Etihad earlier in the year and now they'll be at home in front of a sell out crowd and they'll be playing for finals.

Not much hope in either game unfortunately. Although I thought the same going into the Fremantle game.

Maybe im in the minority here, but id prefer to secure the #1 pick than win a meaningless game in late August. If we win, we will be unlikely to pick at #1.

Why can't we burst the Richmond bubble? I would like to think that there are 2 MASSIVE EFFORTS left !!


NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

I think it is a must win for them and a must lose for us.

I think we need to get the #1 pick, a win in the any of the remaining 2 games would be counterproductive, anyway, we aren't good enough to decide whether we'll win or lose.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Yawn.
God you are boring. Lighten up.
I was taking the piss that it is a 'must win' for us.
Clearly the Camrys have more at stake than us . Obviously we will try to win but in the scheme of things this is not a 'must win' for us.

It does not satisfy the definition and long held conventions in footy of a 'must-win'. Its a silly thread title. Unless of course every single game is a 'must-win' which would also be meaningless after 17 losses in a season.

Better to call it ' It would be nice to have another win this season'

The Crows will win next week, which brings them back to a loss in the last. Just one of those seasons.
Unfortunately our own pattern means next week is a loss, which brings us back to a loss in the last?

Tigers are due for a loss, unfortunately it will be in round 23 against Sydney!
