Will the Saints make the top 8 in 2008?

With a good injury run we might just sneak in. With a bad injury run I can see us finishing as low as 14th.

Please discuss!!!!

Thanks Joffaboy....I really missed this place. BIGFOOTY is ok but SAINTSATIONAL is the place to be.

Allan Jeans says hello ... 9 finals series, 3 grand finals and 1 premiership was it?

Thomas would have achieved all of that and more, unfortunately Butthead sacked him. He should have sacked himself....(no offence to RL).

YES we will make the 8.

Depends on injuries as always but injury free we can win the flag!
We have the ruckman we have the midfield (bally and Hayes 100% this year)

Kosi and Roo up forward with Shneids and Milne roving goals.

Maguire finnally fit down back with max and Sammy fisher all looking good.
No reason we cant go all the way. plus the new game style would be settled in.

Forget top 8...we're going top 4 baby!
Geelong surely can't have the same injury run as this year,
Sydney could go either way but i think they are on the decline..
WC are a basket case, will be interesting to see how they respond
PA we're just plain lucky don't see them doing the same again..
Collingwood's kids played well this year, although kids in their second year can struggle..
Adel (see Sydney).
Big improver's: Bris ,Freo,Hawks,(us of course!)
Must improve(surely):Rich,Carl,Melb,WB
Essendon i think will struggle next year, midfield not good enough (Hird gone!)
Nth Melb is my wild card. Thompson coming back will straighten them up,could go either way.
If we can keep our boys on the park and get our fitness to match our game plan we could well be polishing the silverware come September !:D

Here we go again with what? You asked a question they answered it is it wrong unless we think what you said is right?

I wouldn't have thought anyone would think we could possibly win the flag after the season we have just had. That's what I meant by here we go again. I though people might have become a little more relistic by now.

SENsei · Post: # 482274Post **SENsei** » Thu 25 Oct 2007 2:54pm

I'm surprised people even bother responding.

OneEyedSainter77 · Thu 25 Oct 2007 3:02pm

No we won't - reason, I haven't seen the fixture yet. AFAIK, we could play Port 22 times next year = no finals in 2008.

One word from me : EASY!

It'd be the greatest disappointment we've seen in the last 10yrs if we failed to make the 8 in 08. (okay, maybe Ive used 20 or so words lol)

Next Year is a clean slate ......

A good pre season ....anything can happen.
