Do you think we will make the finals?

[thejiggingsaint]

Honest answer? Don't have a clue! On the form shown at Subi? YES! on the form shown at Etihad? possibly. On the from shown at the MCG(where it matters MOST OF ALL!)? NOT A CHANCE!
But who really knows? No Lenny, BJ in poor form Roo similar, and new kids being played each week. COULD be as another poster says "the Wildest of wildcards" but I guess the best thing to do is to focus on EACH game as we come to it rather than speculate now.

[borderbarry]

I'm thinking we will make it. We have climbed 3 possies in the last couple of weeks, Another three and we are there. But we will probably get knocked out on the first week with an Interstate final.

[mohannair]

Yes we will.

[thejiggingsaint]

I'm not confident of a top four finish, (which we would need to be a chance of the flag) but I'm also not quite ready just yet to write-off our chances of playing in the finals after our last two games (the final result against the filth hides the quality of our 1st half performance) we've blooded some kids and finals footy would be a good experience for them.
Should be plenty to play for yet! GO SAINTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Munga]

Yes if we beat the dogs.
If we lose, we might need a lot of luck to make it.

[Leo.J]

Yes

[dragit]

I think we'll lose this week if we start thinking about finals, that said I think we will just miss out this year…
it's games like Port and North that you pencil in for a win, only to go on and lose

[Teflon]

yep. out first game.

[Dr Spaceman]

yep. out first game.

Maybe, though bit hard to say without knowing how we're traveling, who our opponent is, how they are traveling and where we are playing them.

[SaintPav]

NO and no for the next 5 years

So exactly like Melbourne? No finals from 2007-2010 with maybe a chance this year. Hope not.

its a yes or no answer. he doesnt need to explain himself.

I'm not as simple as you. You are a fool with a conflict of interest which you are way too dumb to recognise and stubborn to acknowledge. You are a phoney.

[marksnsparks]

I went on the Bailey's ladder predictor on the aflwebsite, and I had us finishing 8th, then ending up playing the filth in the GF again.

Place ur bets!!

[Richter]

No.

Can't see us beating Cats or pies - so that will leave us having to probably win 8/10 games. (Carlton; Sydney up there; West Coast and Freo in Melbourne; North twice; Bulldogs; Adelaide in Melbourne; Port in Adelaide and Gold Coast in Qld). Each one is winnable but we're bound to slip up more than twice.

Obviously I hope that I'm wrong....

If we do make it, then it will make any team that face us in the first week of finals extremely nervous! But realistically we'll have too many newbies to impact significantly this year - would be awesome experience for the next couple of years though!

[bigcarl]

Will we make the finals?

I haven't the slightest idea, but I get the feeling it is not a priority for the club.

IMO we have set ourselves for the 2012 premiership.

[matrix]

yup

see ya's at the Corner

[Johnny Member]

Yep, but that has much to do with other teams not really staking their claim either....the likes of Essendon, Richmond and Freo all faltering, will all help our cause I reckon.

I just still have this strange feeling that Gardi will make an Ottens like return, our midfield will improve significantly as a result, and the boys hit form running into September....but with a bigger trick bag given some recent positional moves

Love the optimism!

[SainterX]

Feels a bit like 2006. Yes we will make the finals, but need a little luck, and nobody trying to be the G Train and getting injured running off the mark
