Second Position?
A win against The Suns this week should see us in second position after the demolition of Brisbane tonight by Richmond.
It makes our win over Richmond look so much better too.
A bad loss could see us drop to 7th.

Re: Second Position?
We trust those losses have been a significant part of the ongoing development of this side
More to the point however, which sides sitting outside the 8 would be in contention to play finals?
And which sides currently in the 8 would make way?
We can possibly put an end to Gold Coasts ambitions if we can win in a couple of days time
So a contender drops off
It is an unusual season also in respect to results however we are now in a position to control our own destiny (fingers crossed because it is St Kilda with the history we have)

Re: Second Position?
Each win gets us closer to finals, that’s all I’m worried about, let’s bank the ones we can and hold on til September (October?)!!!

Profound, how did you get so knowledgeable, you can tell you've watched a lot of coach pressers.

Re: Second Position?
Yes, we will move into 2nd if we win and remain that way unless the Eagles win by 200 points.
Want to watch the most boring and devious thing on television and probably in mankind's history, then tune into a daily live press conference at 11am.

Re: Second Position?
Watch out. Every time we get down in the dumps we win and every time we get overconfident, we lose.
GC Suns always play good against us so they certainly cannot be taken lightly.
Having said that we have't had Ratts as coach before and we're breaking a lot of hoodoos.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Second Position?
I have a lot of faith in this team. More importantly, this team has a lot of belief in each other. They will play well.

Re: Second Position?
Yeah the delayed start to the season was good for the Suns young guys but now they are getting tired as they would’ve at this stage of a normal season. They won’t be able to keep up with us.
Should win by 6 goals or more

Re: Second Position?
Agree that the Suns may be getting a bit tired as the season goes on but the same could be said about Saints if we make the finals against bigger bodies, more developed experience and skills etc.
I point win would do me but prefer six goals or more to keep my blood pressure down.

Re: Second Position?
Don't jinx it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The proper response to any upcoming Saints fixture is the assumption we'll lose by 10 goals. That's rule one.
That way you're happily surprised if we win and smugly satisfied with your pessimism if we lose.
This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Re: Second Position?
Sorry lol! Look, I’m not being cocky just confident. The Suns were very average against the Giants. They didn’t get smashed but they were never gonna catch up. I’ll be checking the score at work tonight as it’s live on 7mate as all Suns and Lions games are up here

Re: Second Position?
Freo loss came after a 3 hr bus ride.
Then 2 trips to Adelaide,
then Swans (bus from Noosa to Gabba)
The support staff must have worked out the bugs in travelling, so that variable is taken care of.

Re: Second Position?
As a long time Saints supporter I have leant the dangers of testing fate. It's been 9 years since we have won four in a row.
