Can’t believe I’m posting this.
Way back in 2014 all I wanted to see was us winning one quarter per match.
I think we’ve managed to regress back down to that level.
I’m dreaming of us cracking the magical 10 goal mark - imagine that - a score of 10.20 ? (Assuming our standard goal to behind ratio)
Anyway, I’ll stick with us scoring 7 goals and be miserably content with that.
I also know we will go down by between 40 and 50 points.
At least we are consistent.

What’s an acceptable losing margin to GWS?

In theory yes if you are a top 8 contender or thereabouts, which we were preseason, but when you’re a lock for bottom 4, which is now our plight, it is different.Linton Lodger wrote:No loss is acceptable.
It’s time to readjust - saves getting too worked up on match day when we continually fail

Stuff the loss. We should be wanting to win every game.

Re: What’s an acceptable losing margin to GWS?
betting agencies have GWS at about 4 goals for the line.
$1.91.
Almost double your money- could be a nice way to pay off debts,
coupla hundred on the line

Of course we WANT to win every game. Just because we want something doesn't man it will materialise. Only a fool would genuinely think we are a chance this week. I don't care, I really don't. I just want to see some competitiveness. I haven't see that for awhile. We competed with Brisbane......

Re: What’s an acceptable losing margin to GWS?
You're a chance in any game of modern day AFL footy as the comp is that even. The first 4 rounds prove this. 18th can beat 1st if things go a side's way. I just don't have a defeatist attitude I guess but each to their own. But yes, we aren't favourites and we may not win but we will damn well have a crack at it. The Saints need to respond!Moods wrote:parkeysainter wrote:Stuff the loss. We should be wanting to win every game.

You're right of course, we shouldn't accept a loss, but we're tracking really well, so we'll win easily.parkeysainter wrote:Stuff the loss. We should be wanting to win every game.
"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."

(1) if we kick 12.6 - can’t see us having many more scoring shots than that.
(2) If Mav plays (need his forward pressure)
