4th Gone just focus on a win.....

Post: # 631279Post Teflon »

All this 94pts cr@p we will be flat out to win this the Dons are gonna also try and cause a huge upset like todays and traditionally they play us ok.

Yeah they are young....that can cause problems so we need to solely focus on a win. Get ahead of oursleves and we can find ourslevs 5 down from the start.

TURN UP Sainters....

There is a difference between what supporters chat about and ponder on........and what the players need to do.


I am happy enough that the players stick to playing....and that we stick to posting (and attending).

There is no harm knowing what all the scenario's are.

Sorry...but what a nothing post?

Whats the difference in me "pondering" what the players should do from a supporters perspective and you "dreaming" about 94pts?

Theyre both opinion based as to what we will/will not achieve.

Stick to the topic and leave posting etiquette to those who have a grasp on it would be my "ponderings...." :roll:

On your OP.

The Saints will be too good for the Dons tomorrow.

Whether the winning margin is 20 or 95...who knows.

But the Dons have virtualy no chance of winning....and if they did then forget this years finals.

Now YES I agree with your point that the players have to focus, and given our lack of consistency since post-streak, that is a concern.

but this is a pretty weak Dons team.

PA and Freo teams fielded were much > than what the Dons are fielding.

Sure we lost to WC (and should not have), but there is big difference playing over West and at our home base

lets face the facts...... the dons have 24 players to pick from and on a good day we could beat them by over 100 points...

there is absolutely no problem with speculating Teflon.... stop having a winge and have a glass of concrete, it will do you the world of good

They werent that strong (Dons) when we met tfhem pre season (and we struggled) they were also not that strong when we last played them (no Lucas from memory) and yet we allowed them within 16.

3 of their favorite sons retire tomorrow - we shouldnt need reminding how much emotion plays a role in footy hence my point the focus is NOT top 4, its form and a win for me.

Glad to have you back.. :wink:

Aim for a 100 point win, get a 60 point win, and go into the finals with all guns blazing.

I think even the momentum gained from a big win would be a huge boost to our finals chances.

If we're 20 points up at 1/4 time or 40 points up at half time I'd prefer we tried for that extra goal rather than chip across the backline.

In kife, you gotta focus on thins that you can control. Anything else ain't worth wrrying about IMO. That's why the weather doesn't bother me, nor if we get 4th or 5th.

Can't believe that 4 weeks ago, everyone was dumping coz we were unlikely to make the 8.

Now it's all scenarios, preferred oponents, and all that cr$p. let's just focus on today... win.. then worry about next week. :lol:


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 feel the need to bump this also.
I think this shows what a little optimism can do!

Best win in years!
Since 97 - and more to come I reckon - just imagine if we eat Geelong!
Top four - clearly Lyon is *at least* the coach that GT was.


This is a team game and there is no room for individuals who think they are above walking through the fire.

I lookd at the score needed and was just hoping that we win no matter wat .I was really dissappointed with RL at the start of the season but i dont think it was the coaches attitude that changed our beloved Saints i think it was the playing group itself that changed its attitude and RL was along for the ride .No matter wat whether we won by 10 points or we won by 100 points after such a up and down season Im just glad we're in the finals .And mbogo RL will never be the coach GT was.

Totally
Erroneous
Flatulence
Loaded
On the
Numerous

The key to winning finals is playing your best footy at the end of the season and not peaking like other teams have!
