Win today and ...

Post: # 2021778Post samuraisaint »

we are fifth.
Win against Hawks next week, and we could find ourselves playing in front of 50,000 three weeks in a row at Marvel stadium, against Carlton, Richmond and Geelong.
Would do wonders for the bottom line.

I hope the players are made aware of this.

Big deal

Don’t hand trophies to teams fifth after 18 rounds

We can't beat Hawks.
Blues are now playing to their potential.
Charlie Curnow got 10 goals vs WCE.
Our entire team can't get more than 8 goals.
We're rubbish.
Our early wins were against VFL-standard set-ups.

If you think I'm being insane, look at the teams we beat, and how they're tracking now. (Except Injectors)

The Hammer is now like a child's toy plastic mallet.
Pou is playing with no confidence and no awareness.

Butler is getting near the ball a lot but cannot get his hands on it cleanly. Reminds me of an under-11 player.
If he got delisted, I wouldn't care. He's not the future.
Higgo got a bunch of goals in one game, but he believes he's Aaron Naughton but he's really Jack Lonie 2.0.


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

Who won? We won. With an absolute raft of injuries. We lost probably our most important playmaker in the first quarter again.

Next week is another day - it's winnable.

Good to see the younger players stand up again.

We have to play a second ruck for the rest of the season - Marshall playing up forward turned the match for us at the end.

We won Against a team that would struggle against a country 3rd division.

These where highlights of the night.

Kicking the ball out on the full from easy shots at goal.
Handballs hitting the back of team mates.
Kicking to a 5 on 1 in the forward line.
Pin point 30m passing to players in blue and white
Being in the clear and handballing to players under pressure.

Port and Collingwood must be quacking in their boots about StKilda making the funals.

Yeah, we beat them too, and they haven't been able to beat us since 2018. And the Suns beat us this time for the first time for ten years or some sh1t. We beat the suns by 53 points at home, the Giants could only beat them by 40.

North have turned it around since Ratts took over. They're not winning, no, but they have gone close on several occasions, annd have been desperately unlucky in a few of them. In my opnion, I reckon they would be spewing they didn't take Ratten as senior coach. He has learned a lot from his time at Carlton and St Kilda.

If we make finals, we have nothing to lose - we will be a loose cannon!

We might beat the Hawks next week, but it will be a coin toss, and then the last 4 weeks will get real ugly for us.

We are a bottom 4 team at this point.

That’ll happen with rookies. It’s when it happens to experienced players that warrants concern.

We're out of form but we won anyway.

Few team changes which should help the forward line structure vs the Hawks. Win that and perhaps build some confidence..

Then who knows- but we will have put ourself in a position to play finals. Carlton can turn to a rabble very quickly, Richmond is always an interesting game.

I wouldn't tip it but it is possible we go in against Geelong having won 4 in a row.

Let’s hope team selection isn’t too conservative. Need to do something about the forward structure pronto.

Was good to see Rowan Marshall taking contested marks in the forward line. He did it in the backline as well, but he's so inspirational when he kicks goals for us.

That early clunk and goal in the last quarter got us going. His celebration was more of a 'rev up' to his team mates, than an actual moment for him to enjoy the goal.

We need a fit Rowan Marshall to get us a win next week and beyond.

I don't know what funals are (funnels maybe?), but why would they be quacking - are they ducks? :shock:

They lost to the Suns by 67 points, to Carlton by 60 something, same with Port, and they threw away a 6 goal lead to lose after not kicking a goal in the last quarter. on the weekend.

Yeah, nah. I reckon we beat 'em. We won't be taking them easy, that's for sure. I am expecting a (albeit long overdue) response this week.
