30 pages of drivel about how soft the saints are!
"I have concerns over the quality of teams they have beaten. Sydney, West Coast (in Melb), Fremantle (in Melb), Adelaide, Port and Bulldogs aren't exactly travelling well with Port being the slight exception even though they too are "jekyll and hyde". Only Port and maybe the Bulldogs are likely to play finals this season.
Time will tell I suppose bu they've had a charmed draw and injury list to start the year. I look at them now and don't hink they can improve. They're playing at their optimum level now.
The other slight concern I have with them is the amount of "recycled" players they have. King, Gardiner, Schneider, Ray, Dawson and Gram represent a quarter of their side. History shows not more than 2 or 3 recycled players play in premiership teams at one time. I have serious doubts they can step up collectively when finals roll around. Just my opinion."

He is right, we haven't beaten anyone above us yet.
And he forgot to mention one of our recyled players...........STEPHEN MILNE FROM ESSENDON

Im actaully getting sick of the ''you havn't beaten anyone good'' line. Its bulldust, and utter crap. According to this so called logic, the only team 'worth' beating are Geelong, and anyone else isn't worthwhile opposition.
If half the teams went to adelaide twice and won twice they'd be raving about it.
Dogs had only beated Freo, North and Richmond previous to this week, which looks terrible in hindsight.

We have also been very lucky - everyone we have beaten so far has played their worst footy of the season on the day that they played us - how lucky can you get ??

The OP has it right. I had a look just for kicks... juvenile rubbish. Don't even waste your time.
Bombertalk seems to have a far higher collective IQ, possibly worth reading for some insight into this week's game.

Wait, we haven't beaten anybody good? Lets compare our draws...
Loss- Port Adelaide by 41 points We beat them by 66 points
Win- Fremantle by 38 points We beat them by 83 points
Win- Carlton by 4 points
Loss- Kangaroos by 12 points
Win- Collingwood by 5 points We beat them by 88 points
Loss- Brisbane by 43 points
Win- Hawthorn by 44 points.
Hawthorn are about as in form as Western Bulldogs are at this point in time and nobody is celebrating the excellent form of North Melbourne.
I seriously hate when opposition supporters and journos use the "they haven't beaten anybody good" excuse. I really hope we thrash Essendon on Sunday.

Well that was an entertaining 40 minutes with a couple of laughs. Jimmy must be regretting banging on at half time in our first match. At least some people on there are getting some perspective about who we have beaten. Who the hell else do they want us to beat apart from Geelong and Hawthorn. They also keep banging on about us not having any injuries but forget the years where we were fancied but were riddled with injuries but still made Prelim finals. Ahh well I look forward to us "Cementing" our position in the top four for Jimmy to rubber stamp it. If there is a god out there we will win the flag and I will be able to go and read all of that again.

Really good analysis on the Bombertalk forum, better than I could have strung together:

andrewb wrote:Lyon has the ultimate trump card up his sleeve in Sam Fisher. He reads the play exceptionally well and gets to just about every contest in the backline. His run and disposal are excellent, he's courageous and he has awesome hands. So Lyon plays him as a loose backman meaning you're left with two options - 1. You man him up, thus clogging up your forward line and giving Kosi, Reiwoldt, Milne and Schneider space up forward; or 2. You play your own loose man in defense and hope that he can hurt the Saints as much as Fisher will hurt you.
The only team that has a comparable player is probably Hawthorn with Hodge but the difference between St Kilda and Hawthorn is that as soon as one of your forwards leaves his man to try and pick up Fisher on the rebound, he distributes it to ether Gram, Goddard or Gilbert - all of who are absolutely deadly by foot.
I cant believe that they're so confident
i too am confident, but that comes from the fact we have won 7 from 7, with the best percentage in history after 7th round.
i was going to put $300 on us at over 40 points, i might now increase that $300 and put it on over 60 points
we will smash this mob, they will think they can beat us after beating 3 big Melbourne clubs and this is where they will lose it. I know if you think u are going to win you can be caught unaware but they serioulsy think they are a contender in this game....

Very good points, before we get ahead of ourselves, we need to find some perspective, we can only hope that our luck continues and that every team we play has a bad day playing their worst footy of the season.True Believer wrote:We have also been very lucky - everyone we have beaten so far has played their worst footy of the season on the day that they played us - how lucky can you get ??
It's not every day opposition teams kick only 4 or 5 goals for a game, so we have been extremely fortunate, even if half of their goals came from charity free kicks and 50 metre penalties.
Personally speaking I have not got a spare millisecond, to read the thoughts of these luminaries who claim we have not beaten anyone yet, I'm talking about your numbnuts from Niddrie, the bong bandits from Broady and the airheads from Airport West as I am more worried about the teams we have yet to play such as Melbourne, Richmond, North Melbourne and Brisbane!
So long as we just focus on who we are playing and take it one win at a time, these windy hill dong bongers can circle jerk all they like!

My god I just read that whole thread. I thought we had a bunch of in fighters and back stabbers here. Nothing compared to them. It was actually quite entertaining and funny. I was quite amused by the fact that one bloke just kept mentioning ou "Streak" DVD set. Overall quite funny but agree with some of what they sya it is going to be fun reading on Monday win lose or draw.
