As much as I hate Adelaide and Carlton, I will always barrack for what's in the Saints' best interests. So if a Crows win gives us a crack at fourth, then go Crows!
And as for the person who said losing 97 was part of the charm of the club, I haven't heard crap like that since some idiot in the Victory Room said a couple of months back that he didn't want to make the finals.

Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

It does read badly...I mean charm of the club as that even though Grand Final appearances have been as rare as diamonds, we can still look ahead and barrack for the best interest of the club, regardless of old foes and the wounds they've left. I should choose a better use of words in the future.
Still, I think Saturday arvo's outcome really determines who we want to win. If we beat WCE, then logically a Crows win is in our best interest. If results don't go our way and top four is no longer on the radar...then maybe Swans.
Apologies if this has already been covered.
GO SAINTERS!!!

Yes, it would kill me to barrack for the Swans, it would be like ripping my guts out, but if it was the best thing for the Saints, I could do it...I am already contradicting myself as we speak but when crunch time comes, you've got to do what you've got to do for your club.
Now I think about it, it's not even barracking, it's just hoping results fall your way.

That's why fourth is worth its weight in gold this year.
Wouldn't predict a win in that cats final, but we wouldn't have to leave Melbourne at all if we finished 4th.

Yes our game against the Pies is shaping asa HUGELY important game for us.
I fancy that the Swans will lose at least two more games as they have a few cracks and have some tough games:
ADELAIDE
WESTERN BULLDOGS
FREMANTLE
GEELONG
COLLINGWOOD
BRISBANE LIONS
The Pies too have a tougher run home than the Saints.
ESSENDON
HAWTHORN
ST KILDA
PORT ADELAIDE
SYDNEY SWANS
FREMANTLE
The Saints by contrast have a very good run home.....IF we are good enough we have an excellent crack at getting fourth. But we have to play well as teams like the Dons would love to beat us and od course the Pies will be up and about.

Still haven't forgotten the 97 result but nowasays hate Shyteney even more due to AFL influence to ensure they go well.
I just hope they draw and bash each other senseless and wait with baited breath for the lack of penalty both sides will get for their actions.
We cant rely on getting 4th position when we are so soft in the heads against lowly opposition. We are likely to beat better sides but this is meningless when rsults like today occur.
I am sick of their inconsistent efforts and ability to win only 2 quarters per game. This wont amount to much in finals time.

Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.
You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency
