Super tough & most important game in over 3 years

Post: # 616124Post saint patrick »

No gloating or smugness here about what has transpired in the last 24 hours...

This Saturday night Collingwood will come out breathing fire as they are literally backs to the wall....

And now have less pressure on them as everyone will be writing them off...

They will miss Shaw and Didak about as much as we will miss Bally and Max :roll:

Make no mistake this is going to be a bitter battle to the end..

Huge consequences and this represents our grand final almost 4 weeks from finals...

Win this a we are a good top 4 chance ...lose and the 8 could be in doubt..

Talk about sudden death :shock:

Seize the moment and show no mercy Sainters :twisted:

Most important match under Ross Lyon for 2 reasons. 1. because it is the next one and 2. because not only does it have a massive impact on our finals chances, it sets the scene for the rest of the year. If we roll over against Collingwood it will have nothing to do with talent, structure or planning and everything to do with desire, desperation, passion and commitment.


Maybe this year?

Agree Patrick. Not just in terms of this year but it may define where we go for the next 5 years!!!

We were in a similar position this time last year when we came up against them (and they won).

Our forward line needs to click better and we need a bit of spark.

If we play a fast brand, I am sur ewe will win. If it comes down to a srap, it will be a lot harder.

It will a good match I am sure. Selection needs to be 100% right this week.

it is a massive game for us.

if we win, our hopes of a top 4 finish remain in our own hands.

a loss and we will need to win our way back into the 8.

With Banger just announcing his retirement....


If we dont tear Collingwood a new one, then this team has the heart of a pea.


Seriously, if they ever needed any motivation to make something of this season, have a look at the bloke running around in #35..

Lift.

I agree, Big Red. All I'd be thinking is "Do it for Harves"!

If we don't stand up and beat Drunkenwood this week, we don't deserve to challenge for the finals -but with Harvs news to spur us on, we will put on a show.

St Kilda....It's time to get militant.

We need to start destroying teams. Detonating bombs in their game plan.

Win. Win. Win.

At all costs. Whatever it takes.

By any means necessary.

If you can't give the commitment you gave this year and you don't want to improve, you can go because we have unfinished business-Ross Lyon
