Re: Saints still in finals hunt!
Which teams now in the eight are going to move down for us, which of the fifteen above us actually - North maybe. Most will win another two or three games so we are out for the count - September is free. Can only blood new players, stress composure and disposal skills now, drop anyone who makes three clangers in a game or one spectacular stuff up, head hunt new coaches road test forward splits, dummy leads and set plays. List culling can start now - 6 at least have to be moved on. Still in the hunt? The fox is laughing in its lair and the hounds barking up the wrong tree.

Re: Saints still in finals hunt!
well you can be 80 metres behind usain bolt after 8 seconds, and technically still in the hunt.
heck he might fall over and break a leg, and then you'd only come second last.
nothing wrong with wishful thinking, but don't invest anything in it.

We’re 6 point out of the 8.
Whoopee!!!
Brilliant f*cking insight, Sherlock.
We’re also 6 points from the bottom and are playing like we are closer to the bottom than anywhere near top 8.

Re: Saints still in finals hunt!
That Powerball ticket for the $30m (?) Draw hasn't been claimed yet. If i stand outside with my hand in the air the winning ticket might just float into my hand. ...
Well it is more likely than the saints playing deep into September.

Good idea. I don't think we will play finals either, but we are technically a chance still. You never know. Stranger things have happened.repta wrote:That Powerball ticket for the $30m (?)

Re: Saints still in finals hunt!
Dead as a door nail this season. Sydney far advanced on Saints currently. 1997, team meeting promoted a winning culture in the remainder of that year by actually becoming first. Injuries decimated our big man stocks over the finals. The difference is the 1997 team came to play in round 6, could actually hit a target and had some reasonable leadership to coach, instruct and lead by example when needed. We cant muster much of this at the moment and if wer able to achieve something our kicking doesn't match that of Tim Watsons Dimboola thirds team.parkeysainter wrote:Glad someone has a sense of humour on here...but we are still techincally a chance.

Actually we are worse off than that. We agains suffer from a crap percentage that requires an extra win to maintain equality with others above us. Happened that last 2 years. Points get you there but percentage means you're a threat. We don't feature in either.

Re: Saints still in finals hunt!
It's good to have mates and supporters, pebbles. You'll never know what that's like, especially when it comes to respecting your opinion. You and Porkey make such a beautiful couple. Peas in a pod. I love your continual attempts to bait and troll. It's like being mauled by a dead sheep! I've got you off ignore because all it did was cause you to hurl abuse una(master)bated. I'd hate you to think you were being brave or clever because your neither. BTW, have you worked out the acronyms yet? What fun this is! Have you called Drake yet and organised that meeting?

35.65 in the last 5 games (or something like that). If only we could get a goal kicking coach to teach them how to kick straight.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
