It doesn't matter. I hope we win - and that North and Freo both win, securing us a top 5 draft pick. But I think Freo will lose to Port.
We need to learn to win interstate, however.
We haven't won interstate against anyone (except Gold Coast, and even that has been close) since Round 9, 2015. This team needs to learn resilience and how to win on the road.
Freo now has a caretaker coach, so a win is a distinct possibility.
How could anyone have confidence in Port? Yeah, I think Freo might beat them.
I really want us to win today, but I see a 100 point hiding on the cards. We always play to the script. It will be like the final round of 2013 when we annihilated Freo when Milney, Kosi and Blake were retiring, except we will be on the receiving end.
We won nine games this year which is where we are at. The only silver lining is that we did it without most of our senior players out for the season/most of the season/long stretches of blocks of matches.

If you're not in the final 8, then it's just messing around at the edges. I lost a lot of interest last season as did many Saint mates, and only having Ratts come on board and get a few wins, mildly sparked me up, but after the mess we made against Carlton, I'm done.
It’s depressing.
Re the Shytney game - they are playing 3 geriatrics and we are playing Rowe so it’s a bulltish game given all that
And they're playing Franklin - who we don't have a match up for. 100 point loss coming right up.
Massive clean out should start tomorrow.
Anybody who turned it up today needs to be shown the door.
Played to the script beautifully even allowing the retirees to get their final goal kicking celebrations and gifting Buddy a bag.
For a match called the 'Pride' game, I saw little of it out there today, apart from a few of the players.
Absolute coach killing performance and more than a few players out there today, and some of the assistants who have been at the club for over a year need to be traded out. They have either been a victim of poor player development (possible), don't have the skills for this level (likely) or have had the competitive edge knocked out of them by seeing their efforts p*ss*d away in front of goal again.
