10 Reasons why we can't win the flag
* Lack of pace
* Lack of skill
* Lack of game breakers
* 1 dimensional game plan
* Lack of depth
* Lack of heart
* Lack of hardness
* Lack of passion
* Injury prone
* Top heavy forwardline that doesn't work
We will beat the teams that will finish outside the 8 and we will just scrape into the 8.
Against the real contenders we will struggle.

Doesn't say much for at least eight other teams.

Ten reasons why we can:
* We have more wins than losses not playing at our best
* On paper our side beats almost any other
* Strong backline
* Improving midfield
* More attacking game plan than last year
* Everything to prove and not much to lose
* More depth than we have had in previous years
* Young kids coming through that actually look decent
* More pace than you give credit for (Armitage, Dal Santo, Montagna)
* Robert Harvey
All depends how you look at it really.

Hang on...we have THE MOST TALENTED LIST IN THE UNIVERSE!LENNY LEADS THE WAY wrote:* Lack of pace

Talent is just EXPLODING from our list.
ten reasons why making silly statements at round 7 can come back to bite you
1. Not everyone has played each other.
2. Flags aren't won in april/may (similar to grand slams aren't won in the first week, but can be lost)
3. 1st can have 5-6 more wins then 4th yet could play in the same state and start on 0-0 at the start of a qualifying final.
4. A weeks a long time in football, let alone 3-4 months
5. It only takes a couple of injuries to bring anyone down. Take scarlett and ablett out of the cats and watch them squirm
6. Stkilda and melbourne were playing off for bottom spot during 1997, stkilda won and went on to be favourite for a grand final.
7. Only idiots believe they can tip this far out. Hell I struggle week to week with my tipping!
8. Pace is a great but once the run has gone out of the youngsters the big boys start to shine.
9. If we have no heart, explain how the hell we held on last saturday night.
10. just cause

ok here we go again
lenny and brown coat and poster like you must have the most sad sad lives that you can be so pessimistic and negative
it is not even worth debating you because your views are so jaundiced and narrow minded
do you actually barrack when the games are on or just sit and criticise
you appear to have no passion for the club so why not take your sad sad views and go and do something else with your weekends like i don't know .......... support freo

GO SAINTERS!!!
Cat - 4 wins, 3 losses
Saints - 4 wins, 3 losses
What does this mean? Who knows?
2007 - Up to round 7. Cats were pretty ordinary....NOT. They lost to NORTH MELBOURNE, Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs.
They destroyed Carlton by 12 goals, wiped Richmond off the face of the planet in the most convincing fashion ever in Round 6.
Stkilda has done nothing even slightly resembling Geelongs round 6 thrashing of Richmond and Round 2 thrashing of Carlton.
By round 7 2007 , Saints went nowhere, Cats went up.
Parallels bah there's isn't much point.
1999 by Round 7 stkilda were 4 wins 3 losses.
We finished 10th.
You can either choose to draw hope or despair from our current position. Fascinating few weeks ahead.

Tell me Jenny leads the way, and you too Brown-nose, if we defy these massive odds and get up to win the flag, will your first post on here afterwards be "we couldn't possibly go back to back because we are the crappest team ever to win the flag, the other mob must have laid down, we need to sack the coach and most of the players are semi-retarded and should be traded for some Seaford under 15's"?
