Other Than Winning the Premiership

Post: # 695360Post 3rd generation saint »

Other than winning the premiership, what else do you really want to see this season.

For me I really want to break the Pt Adelaide hoodoo, absolutely smash them at home and especially at Moron Park.

Other things, continue the streak against Carlton, continue beating Essendon and hope we have a smuch success against them as they had against us while Sheedy was coaching them.

But, of course, in the Preliminary Final, meet Collingwood with all the pundits saying how brave they are and the team spirit their showing to get to the Prelim from 7th or 8th position and just watch them unravel as we smash them by 10 goals plus and have the joy for the 2nd year in row to wave goodbye to their fans long before the final siren.

My wife creating a bi-sexual clone of herself, for starters.


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'm sure the "clone" bit was included just in case your wife read that.
as to the OP, I want the cup, if not for the club's sake, then mainly to win a bet with a carlscum mate.

I want to see:

BJ smash it in the middle

Armitage cement a spot

Kosi play to his potential

A few of the first-yearers show some real promise

2004 arrogance

unfashionable footy

hell we created the idea of unfashionable, asshole, rough footy

we saw with the hawks, cats and eagles it won flags...

players were both hard at the ball and the man...and it one them flags

we did it before all of them except we have no flag to show for it

Continue the domination over Carlton, I am not ready to let that go.

Richmond..............ditto

I would also like to see our supporters become more positive, passionate, and animated at games. Sometimes it feels like we are in a library.

You couldn't have said it any better.

Are we capable of playing this tough and hard?:

(If not, we can't win the premiership. We must remember how to physically intimidate - it's what busted Geelong open.)

But since this isn't about that flags :? I guess I'd like to see us do the following:
- Win four of our first five (only Adelaide away we won't be favourites) heading into the Dogs match in R6.
- Win the back-to-back blockbusters against Collingwood and Essendon in "Mega May".
- Beat Geelong in R14, push Hawthorn in R19 (though it's at the Tassie Graveyard)

Our draw for supporters is a shocker, but for the team, it's a cracker. We can blast away to a great start and never should we lose more than two in a row - our draw is too kind.

But that's up to us, and if we want it enough, and if we're prepared to improve enough.

Like everyone else, I would love to see success for our club and our players. As for the other things I would like to hapen this season.......... The fact that this is a family forum would prevent me from disclosing my thoughts :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :wink: !!

Yep, hard, tough footy, and scoring on average 15+ goals per game thank you very much.

....winning 4 out of the first 6, and seeing membership numbers grow quickly, so we will get 30K+ members.

That's my wishlist for starters....

1. Beat Essendon twice.
2. Have a decent run with injuries that allows us to field close to our best 22 at some stage during the year.
3. See 22 players have a red hot dip every week. Honestly there were weeks this year where I walked out disappointed after a win because the players looked like they were going through the motions.

games won without relying on our superstars

that would be good, but i would rather the pies to finish 15th, and the Blues get the spoon and then they will have to change their slogan for 2010 :wink:

agree with all of the above

Would love to get that confident 2004 feeling back week in week out where we can expect a good toughed out fight against the comp's best (and being considered as such ourselves).

The last coupla years did my head in as to having absolutely no idea how we were gonna play - how last year, we started those come from behind wins after shocking 1st halfs etc.
How every week it seemed 50/50 whether we were gonna win or lose:
Thinking we were "up there" after beating Hawthorn beautifully, only to get done by West Coast seconds the week after - almost unwatchable.
How Collingwood shamed us in the Shaw and Didak week - the press had a field day about the fighting Magpie spirit, but was really that we were terrible
We should have absolutely smashed them.

Going along to see us play Carlton at the G, actually nervous, that the media hype was true and they would do us - thankfully they didnt, but there were moments when the door was swinging.

all of the above, particularly attacking football and winning without reliance on our superstars. i'd like to see us get some arrogance back into our game.

great thread.
Other than winning the premiership, what else do you really want to see this season?
respect from the media.
