4th Gone just focus on a win.....
All this 94pts cr@p we will be flat out to win this the Dons are gonna also try and cause a huge upset like todays and traditionally they play us ok.
Yeah they are young....that can cause problems so we need to solely focus on a win. Get ahead of oursleves and we can find ourslevs 5 down from the start.
TURN UP Sainters....

I am happy enough that the players stick to playing....and that we stick to posting (and attending).
There is no harm knowing what all the scenario's are.

Whats the difference in me "pondering" what the players should do from a supporters perspective and you "dreaming" about 94pts?
Theyre both opinion based as to what we will/will not achieve.
Stick to the topic and leave posting etiquette to those who have a grasp on it would be my "ponderings...."

On your OP.
The Saints will be too good for the Dons tomorrow.
Whether the winning margin is 20 or 95...who knows.
But the Dons have virtualy no chance of winning....and if they did then forget this years finals.
Now YES I agree with your point that the players have to focus, and given our lack of consistency since post-streak, that is a concern.
but this is a pretty weak Dons team.
PA and Freo teams fielded were much > than what the Dons are fielding.
Sure we lost to WC (and should not have), but there is big difference playing over West and at our home base

They werent that strong (Dons) when we met tfhem pre season (and we struggled) they were also not that strong when we last played them (no Lucas from memory) and yet we allowed them within 16.saintsRrising wrote:On your OP.

3 of their favorite sons retire tomorrow - we shouldnt need reminding how much emotion plays a role in footy hence my point the focus is NOT top 4, its form and a win for me.
Glad to have you back..

In kife, you gotta focus on thins that you can control. Anything else ain't worth wrrying about IMO. That's why the weather doesn't bother me, nor if we get 4th or 5th.
Can't believe that 4 weeks ago, everyone was dumping coz we were unlikely to make the 8.
Now it's all scenarios, preferred oponents, and all that cr$p. let's just focus on today... win.. then worry about next week.![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

The lid is off after Round 2! Enjoy the journey, coz you just don't know where we'll end up. Live for today and seize the moment.

I lookd at the score needed and was just hoping that we win no matter wat .I was really dissappointed with RL at the start of the season but i dont think it was the coaches attitude that changed our beloved Saints i think it was the playing group itself that changed its attitude and RL was along for the ride .No matter wat whether we won by 10 points or we won by 100 points after such a up and down season Im just glad we're in the finals .And mbogo RL will never be the coach GT was.
