Do you want us to beat Melbourne?

kosifantutti · Fri 24 Jul 2015 6:08pm

Simple question. Most people should be able to give an answer.

Austinnn · Post: # 1566220Post **Austinnn** » Fri 24 Jul 2015 7:12pm

You'll never get a straight answer.

"I want the club to win long term" "what a simplistic choice" "of course I *want* the saints to win, and to be a powerful team" "i think a loss isnt the end of the world" etc etc etc

Sounds a lot better than

"I'd prefer the team to lose this weekend so we get better draft pick selection positions"

But that is the life of the modern footy fan, and not just St Kilda unfortunately. I used to think the draft system was good, now I see how many people want to cynically cheat the system, its obvious it needs to be changed. Thank god priority picks were stopped. Should be a lottery for bottom 5 clubs perhaps. What would be a better system?

The club has picked basically our best available team so it certainly wants to win.

samuraisaint · Fri 24 Jul 2015 7:22pm

I want %.
100 points +.
Let's wreck their rebuild. Remember 98 and 006 Sainters!!!

Draft needs to be a lottery to stop tanking

Def baiting thread after all the hoo har about tanking and the arguments over winning/people wanting lower picks over the last month.

Nicely done, not too subtle, but nicely done

I want to win.
Build winning culture and spirit.
Be an attractive club for future players.

Draft pick is a lottery.

A loss is better long term but these things have a way of working themselves out...win or loose

Love the way we are playing so if the boys can play well the result will look after itself.

Having said that Parish would be nice in the red White and black.

just a pathetic little faction player.

Hand it in ... then come out and play.
Honourless grub.

Why is a mod baiting?

Very poor for a site mod who ought to be trying to hose baiting down not encourage it
Fair enough you want to bait but as WS says time to hand in the mod duties
Clearly conflicted

Good answer mate
Without hysterics just straight common sense and yes.... Parish's dash out of the Middle would be handy....

Rosco · Post: # 1566239Post **Rosco** » Fri 24 Jul 2015 9:10pm

i would like to win, get a draft pick after melbourne, and then draft a player better than the one they take. this is the way of the competitor.

SMS · Post: # 1566242Post **SMS** » Fri 24 Jul 2015 9:16pm

I had a fight with some douchebag teflon about this.
Lol.

Anyway im guessing the only reason for this question is draft picks

Winning culture more important YES even now in these years.
Winning tomorrow =pick 6-8
Losing = pick 4-6

Are you really going tonwant a loss for such a minimal infact could be a blessing rhis draftcis crap absolute lucky dip.

skeptic · Post: # 1566244Post **skeptic** » Fri 24 Jul 2015 9:23pm

I hardly think this is baiting... And if it is ppl need to get over it

Back on topic
I don't see how losing to Melbourne can be a positive in anyway, shape or form

Seriously guys, Kos is easily one of the best mods that we've had…

This is a very harmless thread, so keep it in your pants. Mods are just posters who put in extra time to keep things on track, so unless you want to do it instead, then chill out.

Good mods are really hard to find, so let's not f*** this up.

plugger66 · Fri 24 Jul 2015 10:38pm

Got to laugh at some of you guys. Very funny if not sad. Kosi was either asked or volunteered to be a mod on here. Im not sure that means he then cant have an opinion or ask questions. If people don't like a mod doing that there is a couple of simple answers. Either chip in and pay a mod or just leave the site. it isn't compulsory to be on here even though I may think it is. The funny thing is even if you did pay a mod eventually they would be biased. We all are. And even funnier is the question is fair enough. How is it baiting? Imagine if this question was asked on the Hawks fan forum. The only thing the person asking the questioned would be questioned about is this guy a real supporter. They would all want to win.

Im no fan about some mods but I respect that it is an unpaid job and they have as much right as everyone else on here to ask any question they like. Funny that most who don't like the question also don't care about the result tomorrow.

Anyway back on topic I hope we have a huge win on Sunday. Go saints.

No wonder we lose mods if this question is an issue. Don't like it then bye bye.

Enrico_Misso · Fri 24 Jul 2015 10:56pm

Lowest we can finish is 15th.

Tonight Caaaarlton are making a strong statement against Hawthorn that they are passionate about finishing last.
With just two goals to 3/4 time it looks like Ange Pot of glue is actually coaching them!

samuraisaint · Fri 24 Jul 2015 10:56pm

hope we win by 150 points Sunday.

We only just beat this mob last time on our own dung hill with 40 seconds to go. I just hope we win on Sunday.

bigred · Post: # 1566279Post **bigred** » Sat 25 Jul 2015 12:17am

Yeah I want to win.

Yeah I want the draft picks.

I cant help but think that the draft picks are more valuable than the four points.

Good chance we could torch Melbourne here. They are in horrible form IMO.

Us by five goals.
