Where we'll finish....
Looking at our draw is an interesting exercise.....games Im not sure on I'll leave as W/L but to me...
Lions = L
Melb = W
Dogs = W/L
Syd = L (away)
Freo - W
Nth = W
Car = W
Haw = W/L
EAGLES = W/L (away)
Port = W (at Dome....doable)
Coll = L (play G well)
Freo = L (away)
Adel = W (dome)
Ess = W
At our optimum I get 14 wins...where that leaves us who knows..
At our worst I get 11......hhmmm.
Im actually quietly confident against both Hawks and Dogs.........for some reason...
I think the worry could be % after all that.......
thoughts?

Very hard to pick Tef...
I mean injuries and form but...
I watched the the Port V Sydney game and I just wanted Port to win...
Sydney have a stop...start NO RUN AND PLAY ON GAME that seems so much like US...
Yep Sh1tney won and it was a good game to watch, but they are FARKING BORING AND TOO DEFENCIVE
I just feel we are heading in the same direction and if we ARE time to F*** LYON OFF and now....

Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

Adelaide play the dome really well. I believe that we will beat the Dogs and agree W/L against Hawthorn as long as we strangle them.
North is no guarantee (record not good here) and Port not likely (Bogey team) but at the Dome possible.
I still rate Collingwood a chance to lose. Probably 13 wins IMO at best.
Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

yeah I don't understand this whole 'pretty to watch' stuff either. Something that is pretty to watch is a win and who gives a rats how it is done.Teflon wrote:sorry Fid I dont give a shyte about "pretty to watch" cr@p. IF weplay like Sydney (who kicked 16 goals after 21 goals last week) and get a flag I dont guve rats @ss about "pretty".
If you asked 30 000 sainsts followers the question of would they prefer to win ugly or lose pretty I think you'd get 30 000 uglies.

How you play is always more an issue when you're losing rather than winning. However I can't ever remember thinking "we came last but Christ we looked good doing it!"
Hence why it's an issue now. We are losing or winning unconvincingly.
The "who cares if it's ugly if you're winning" line really doesn't belong in this conversation because we aren't winning.
It's like the "the gameplan is fine but the players can't carry it out" line.
Who gives a flying if it's a great game plan if we're losing?
When we start winning more than we lose and people are complaining about the style, then the "who cares if it's ugly if you're winning" line should be trotted out. It sounds rather stupid right now.

I might have difficulty dumbing it down more than that.

Beautiful morning here in Brisbane and I'm off to watch the Saints play in a few hours.
Couldn't be more relaxed TBH.
I'm just hoping I'm still feeling that way at 4 this afternoon.
just the hangover will do

Unfortunately the saints are at that point again....this squad can't win a flag...therefore we need to rebuild...we therefore need high draft picks...we need to backwards before we can go forward...
