This is doing my head in.
I don't want to say how I'm really feeling as I just can't explain it and don't want to admit some of the thoughts running through my head.
But I can say right now my confidence in us has just gone out the window.
Yeah, i know, it'll be a different gameplan and all that crap but still this just hurts. Why did we have to play THAT badly today? Now, of all times!
Lose next week and we will face either hawthorn (I dread that prospect) or Freo (even nervous abuot that) - should we win that game, our reward is a prelim with Collingwood.
We absolutely MUST win this week and put everything, EVERYTHING into it. Must throw the kitchen sink and MORE at Geelong.
Man, I am so, so , sooooo toey about this game.... perhaps even moreso after what happened today. I just want to get out there and win.

....and the evidence is being up by 4 points at half time against the bottom side at a ground they haven't lost at for three years.StSteven wrote:. Geelong seem to have got their September mojo going again.
We had a perfect hit out against a side that is expert at applying pressure.
Next Friday night is the time to display September mojo.
You blokes sure are worry warts!!!

i had my last $3 on a multi this week.
did all my homework on all the teams and came up with the best multi known to man:
Freo under 39.5
Hawthorn under 39.5
Adelaide under 39.5
Sydney under 39.5
Gold Coast Titans (NRL) Win Only
if that got up i would of had the money ready to go for my GF ticket, and more than enough to party with for celebrations that night.
Thanks Gold Coast, little sh1ts!

The pertinent question is what were they trying to do? Only once you have answered that can you assess their performance as bad or otherwise.OneEyedSainter77 wrote:Why did we have to play THAT badly today? Now, of all times!

Hey dude, were you on a virgin flight from adelaide to melbourne tonight? I sat next to a saints supporter who had those exact multi bet options and he also had $3 on it? If it is you mate, it was a great chat on the way home after an ordinary day at the footy. Let's hope we get the job done when it matters next week! Go saints!
Thanks Gold Coast, little sh1ts!
When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

Chapman looked proppy....StSteven wrote:I agree that at half time I was feeling pretty good. The worry was how they just turned it on when they needed to and ended up winning by 40+ in two quarters. Also rested Selwood and a couple of others. I don't think they have any injuries either.
Ling a little ginger also.....

It wasn't just that they played badly and got thumped on the scoreboard - it was more like they didn't even want to finsih clsoe to them.... but as you said the question is "Why?" What on earth was their intention?

Yeh that's the one then mate, I was row 25 too. How funny, i have finally bumped into someone off here! I don't post on here often but i read most of the posts. We both have the Robert Harvey theme going with our signatures. I heard today Goodwin and Harvey will be saints assistant coaches next year. That's great news i reckon. I also don't think Fisher will be the 3 or 4 weeks like we thought either, which is great news aswell. I will be nervous as hell at work friday waiting for friday night!

Re: This is doing my head in.
I was at the match, I am not sure what it looked like on tv, but we didn't want to get any injuries and stuff. We will be fine, I am confident of that. They know what they are doing. Remember last year in round 22, we had 40 tackles or something against Melbourne and then the next week in the final we had 80 plus and then a record 118 on grand final day. We will be fine, it will be a different team next week...mark my words! Have faith!saint3d wrote:The pertinent question is what were they trying to do?

My only concern was no injuries..when will it be understood that there was absolutely nothing to gain by busting a pooper valve and going hard at it..subconsciously players are also in protective mode..chill guys..next week the gloves are off and the real stuff will see the real state of affairs..Go you mighty sainters...revenge is nigh ![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Re: This is doing my head in.
Don't take my word for it. Go to Bigpond Video and watch the post match press conference and Ross Lyon will tell you their intention was, in the last quarter, to not get injured.OneEyedSainter77 wrote:Actually that was a very good question....saint3d wrote:The pertinent question is what were they trying to do?

Watch the whole video, and make sure it's the video so you can see Lyon's body language. Afterwards if you're still worried about having lost to Adelaide, you probably weren't paying attention.
