Thanks Dimwit: You've given us a virtual-Elimination Final!

[saintspremiers]

Thanks to the idiotic finals system, if we lose today, instead of playing the lowest ranked winner (ie. Brisbane), we would get shafted with Adelaide.

Win that and then we have to take on Geelong in the Prelims.

ie. this may as well be an Elimination Final.

So thanks Dimwit for F***-all reward for a 20 and 2 season.

TO bury your head in the sand and say "I didn't think about it" (as in a more sensible/fairer finals system) is plain coddswallop.

Most likely, and luckily for you, we will kill off the Pies and they can slog it out against Adelaide and all will be forgotten by some.

BUT.....

If the unthinkable happens, and we go down today, exepct HELL from me and few others on here

[thejiggingsaint]

Dont worry about it!!!! I want us to win a flag and to do it the hard way!!!
By playing and beating the BEST (playing THEIR best!)
No easy way to get the flag Pal!

[Statsman]

a) Dimwit didn't come up with the finals system.
b) If we can't beat 4th and 5th, do we really deserve a premiership?
c) How about we just beat the Filth and make it their problem?

[Munga]

I said this weeks ago. Finishing second better than first.

[claystreet]

Who care who we play, lets just play the best there is and be done with it otherwise pack up your toys and go home.

[Finna]

Stop Whinging and be grateful that we are where we are FFS.

Besides....We wont Lose Today!

[desertsaint]

we'll win today - i've chucked a sickie from my final soccer game of the season (dead rubber - finals next week) to watch.

but the afl are numnuts - no 2 day advantage if the lions had played friday and the crows sat arvo - but instead they fixture the lions game against the wallabies test v springboks in brisbane, with the 3rd placed GC titans playing just down the highway in the nrl?

the wallabies drew 47,481, whilst at the gabba over 8,000 seats sat empty!

[SainterK]

I thought we had next week off?

[Verdun66]

No.....that will be the Pies. Karma.

[sendmehomehappy]

Yep...big problem for the pies now..let's listen to them whinge about it.

[Gabba]

Irrelevant for us but hilarious now for the Pies!

[saintspremiers]

No.....that will be the Pies. Karma.

Did I say "SUCK IT UP EDDIE!"

......mebbe!!!

[Stillwaiting]

Yep...big problem for the pies now..let's listen to them whinge about it.

Gotta love it , they will piss and moan now.

Worst team to make the prelim at 21 and 2 for the season

[Sainternist]

I agree. The previous system was better.

I'm delightted that we have advanced to a preliminary final, however, I'm not particularly excited about the prospect of spending another afternoon or evening in the company of C*llingw**d supporters.

The pervious system was crap.

Why would we?
They probably won't beat Craw definitely not Cats.

[kosifantutti23]

The previous system would have had us playing against the only final 8 team that had beaten us this year.
