Will miss 8 only by %

Post: # 447166Post saintsRrising »

Well if the Hawks knock off the Swans we are going to miss the 8 by %. :cry:


So that Dogs draw is looking very costly now as the extra 2 points would have been handy.

should haves...count for naught.....but dropping that game and the Pies match should not have happened.


Early in the season we were ravaged by injuries.......so you can understand that....but thos two matches should have hada different result.


So by my ranking the Saints have underformed this year...on what they should have done.


We have been since the streak ateam that has trouble stringing together 4 quarter efforts.

Our latter games against the weagles that we lost and the Hawks game which we won were the only 2 games this year where we really put in enough.

This pattern that we have had since the streak of lack of 4 quarter efforts needs to be reveresed if we want to improve.

also, remember our draw this year gave us 17 melbourne matches compared to 15 last year, plus we had about 6 6 day breaks vs. 11 I think last year!

The difference is that the Swans will win and demonstrate what was needed to get there. Its called passion.

Catchup seasons are not acceptable. Early performances were poor and inuries were bad. The crows were generally worse off in this regard and they got there. So why is our list better? Its not. Simple.


Midfield clearances and clear winners are needed to make an effective forward line.

You need to protect the ball handler to increase posession efficiency

We should've won all games after the break!
Lost to pies by 8 after leading
Drew with Dogs
Lost to Sydney after leading
Lost to Eagle after leading

should've been 11/11 going in to the finals! :x

We haven't had more than four players on the injury list since the break (including Gardiner & Hamill).

This is a f***ed result.

Look at the teams that have finished above us....

Thank god freo dropped their players, as I have a bet from the start of the season we'd win more than freo. Who thought it would've been decided this early at the start of the year?

If Hawthorn win by about 300 points and we thrash Richmond by a couple of hundred, then we will make the 8. There is still hope!

As I posted during the week.....the cumlative gap is less than that......but is not achievable.

We missed being a contender by more than just %

When you can count your good games on one hand you know you're struggling.
