I hate to look ahead but....

[SaintsRepublic]

Jeepers Creepers.

4th is totally there for the taking for whoever wants it. Thats a double chance and a home final in week 2.

Round 21 looms large. Saints v Crows at the dome.

Next week - 80,000?

[Otiman]

Have to beat collingwood at the G, Freo at Subiaco, and Adelaide at their second home, The Dome.

Sydney will likely lose at least 1 more.

North Melbourne also.

Win all 4 games and 4th is ours. Drop 2 and we'll be out of the 8.

[saintsRrising]

Based on our first 3 quarters we do not want it too much.....

However it is their for the taking. But do our players really really want it?

[bergsone]

Sit down,look at who we play next,look at how we get over them,rest will look after itself.

[Bernard Shakey]

Collingwood will tear us a new one.

[Ralphy]

not sure,
collingwood arent that great,

[WayneJudson42]

Collingwood will tear us a new one.

Know for sure do you?

[degruch]

not sure,
collingwood arent that great,

Hmmmmyyeah...but they don't have to be. Eddie's buttered the umpires up already, and we're looking a bit wobbly ourselves. Hopefully we can do an Essendon and lift against the Pies...we've had a lot of close finishes in recent years and our last loss was (again) only due to our lack of effort, not their brilliance.

[jonesy]

Going on todays performance we won't make the 8.

Only the atrocity displayed by the umpires has taken the attention off our first three quarters. We were really really bad to 3 qrt time....I was quite confused at how we'd actually won 9 for the year the way we looked. We looked bottom 2.

Need to extract the digit or we won't make it

[Otiman]

I can only hope we're going through an intensive training period so we're cherry ripe for the finals.

[WayneJudson42]

I must have been at another game... we won didn't we?

Port aren't as bad as everyone makes out.

[Ralphy]

Port aren't as bad as everyone makes out.

got to remember they did make the granny last year.

[super dooper]

collingwood arent that great,

Gonna be a lot closer than most people think.
Collingwood havent lost 4 in a row for a long time, and we have seen it before with collingwood that they tend to go alright backs to the wall.

4 qt effort required next week otherwise we wont be close enough to make a last qt comeback again im afraid. They have a lot of danger players that underperformed on friday night and will be keen to make up for it.

The game defiently concerns me and wont be a walk in the park that a lot of people on here have for some reason already pencilled in as a win.

Win this week against the pies and a finals spot will just about be sown up, lose and we're back with the pack and back into desperate times.

[Ralphy]

i dont think its going to be a walk in the park defently a hard match to win 4 quator effort, needed and i will be in my chair out the back drinking my beer watching the boys if its on tv that is

[Moorabbin Saints]

We'll drop one along the way IMO. We're too inconsistent.

If only we had beaten the Eagles, we'd be bloody 4th right now. When the TD announcer said 'Guess what Saints fans, your in the top 8!' it was actually pretty blight on where we should be.

[Schillaci]

Fourth is there for the taking. No question about it. The Bullies did us a favour today.

We could win our last four games though on the evidence of the last two weeks you would have difficulty in making a solid argument that it's going to happen.

Whilst we are still alive in the finals race I'd just like to see lady luck smile upon us and sail into September with no injuries...Max ..., Bally this week...The pussies are a class above anyway and we'll need to put in 4 good quarters against the likes of the Dogs, Hawks and Swans to win...we are not travelling well enough to cover injuries full stop.

[Armoooo]

4th is there for the taking no doubt, no excuses this year, we can't let injuries, umpries or point stealing to keep us out of the 4 this year, it's now or never...
DO IT FOR HARVEY!!

[WayneJudson42]

... if not, do it for ME!

[jonesy]

On todays evidence it's hard to build a case for the 8!

Hopefully they find some form,we need everyone firing from here on in if we're going to make the 8,let alone the 4.
Let's not forget Freo beat Port in Adelaide last week...

No easy games from here on in

[Sam23]

Collingwood will beat us by around 6 goals i'd say

We ARE an ordinary football side who might just sneak into the 8

[WayneJudson42]

1- you can only beat the crap served up to you on the day

2- Collingwood are an ordinary team who may not make the finals.

[nathan000]

We play better against the top teams. Have use doubters not forgot how terrible Collingwood are playing as well. To me they look like a bottom 4 team after watching there last 3 matches. We should beat Collingwood, and if not we don't deserve to secure that top 4 position anyway

[degruch]

To me they look like a bottom 4 team after watching there last 3 matches.

A bottom 4 team!!!! Sh!t, we are in trouble then

[Huzzad]

We play better against the top teams.

But how many top 8 sides have we beaten? Sydney in Rd 1 (big loss later), Kangas and Hawthorn. We have performed pretty poorly against the others in the 8.

[WayneJudson42]

How can anyone seriously take into consideration results that happened 2 or 3 months ago as a comparison?

Someone please explain why the filth have lost the last 3, given that they spanked the cats?

Surely on that logic, the filth are a shoe-in for the flag?

Who cares who the F*** we have or haven't beaten.

Next week is a new game. If we are good enough, we'll win. Simple!

I know we are supporters, but seriously, some of you have already lost next week's game in your collective heads.

We will win.
