Everyone is tipping against us

[saint64]

6 - 0 for Geelong on AFL Teams tonight. Cats firm favourites with the bookies. Seems like no one thinks we can win. Why should we be surprised? No one thought Brisbane would win in 2001, or Port in 2004, or Hawthorn last year. People tipping the cats can't quite believe that the Saints can actually succeed after decades of not. They will only believe it when our guys shove it down their throats about 5pm this Saturday.

Go Saints!

We are underdogs. Fact is on paper and to the average follower of another team our bottom 6 do not match Geelong's bottom six. On paper

[Winmar]

I think it probably helps us, if anything. It takes a little bit of pressure off and at least we won't be accused of choking if we do go down (ooer).

[Enrico_Misso]

It works in our favour to go in as underdogs.
But our boys haven't put a foot wrong all year.

They will deliver.
And to win as (undeserved) underdogs will make it all the sweeter.

[CaptainRiewoldt]

yeah well do you REALLY think we will win?? we are the saints we get close but never get it. Not holding my breathe been a good year though

[emmdee]

I think its great that we go in the "underdogs"...us against them mentality will suit us fine.... kosi must fire

[OneEyedSainter77]

Everyone I have spoken to has not given a chance. Which is why I want this so badly - to stick it right up them.... nah, not really, i want this badly because it's a premiership for God's sake. I mean seriously.

But yer, not really expecting to get much lvoe from the tipsters....

Ah well.

Come on sainters, let's do it.

Stick it up EVERYONE!!!!!

f***, I have GOT to go to bed....

[xander]

people are gettin sucked in by geelong's win over collingwood last week.
we had a hard fought win against the 3rd best team... we are ready for anything.
They had an easy win against a team that struggled in finals... they think it'll be easy

[Iceman234]

LOL here you go again.

Go you mighty Sainters.

[Sainterman]

With a comment like that you really should have your posting name stripped from you.

[OneEyedSainter77]

The only thing that worries is that the cats lost last year, therefore they will have a point to prove.... everything else I just think we have them covered....

[Iceman234]

Hope you haven't got a ticket to the GF Captain, your posts tonight confirm you don't deserve to be there and real Saints fans wouldn't want you there.

Our team needs 100% support.

[Milton66]

It's interesting that up until round 20, everyone thought the CAts were gone. Now they are peaking at the right time.

Does anyone really listen to the media?

I guess we'll find out either way in 2 days from now.

Keep the faith.

Had a Geelong supporter interupt me talking about the footy with a workmate say"Comiserations for this Saturday!!"

The same thing happened prior to the filth game from a pie supporter...

'Can I aplogise in advance!!!"

Just hope its an omen of what they would deserve for their cockiness

like that idiot who got a tatoo of geelong 2007-2008 back to back....

After they lsot, he hoped the storm would at least get up.... they lsot 40-0.

Cuck s***.

And according to "everyone" apparantly Rooey is no good under pressue either......um player of the finals series so far.

Why worry about "everone" if they aint sainters then they are "no one"

[saintspremiers]

Let's face it....if we play like we did last Friday we could get slaughtered.

BUT.....

IF we play to our full ability, then we should win.

I really think it's only people who deep down are sh1tting themselves that come out with crap like that... it's false bravado, and it'll get em nowhere.

It only adds to the pressure on them.

As far as I'm concerned no one tipping us is ideal, and just adds to the freakish perfection of this season.

The cats have an appointment with reality... like the dogs, the pies and the crows did when everyone thought they were flying.

Well, let them focus on Roo. There are 21 other blokes more than capable.

Which game were you watching on friday?

I thought it was an incredible game.

What he said.

People forget that despite our supposed 2nd half of the season slump, we flogged teams that were real challengers.

Agree Mark ..we just beat the side that lost to the Cats by 14 in a less intense game a week earlier...and Fridays night against us was the dogs grandfinal

The filth were tired and pathetic against the cats Saturday night..

Know which lead in I would prefer

[vacuous space]

For all the attention, the analysis is quite shallow at this time of year. Almost everyone tipping Geelong is doing so because they've been there before or because they belted the Pies.

'They lost last year. Surely they won't let another one go.'

'The Cats love poor weather and it looks like rain. The Saints aren't as good away from Docklands.'

Apparently we're also a one man team and our defence isn't as good as it looks.

Whoever writes the AFL.com.au preview is tipping us. As is Rohan Connolly of The Age.
