Could be in sixth place by end of next Round.

[saintsRrising]

As long as we have a healthy win...as the Swans are not playing we could go past them on points.

If the Hawks can knock off Freo in WA 6th place will be ours.


We games later against both Freo and the Swans we have the ability to lock in a Melbourne Final in Round one of the finals.

If the top 4 end up all being Melbourne Teams, that may assist in giving the saints a good crack at.

Amongst other things need No 12 to hit his straps, as we don't want to be relying on small forwards in the finals.

[hungry for a premiership]

I feel that for once, the planets may be aligning in our favour. We could pull the biggest premiership bunny out of a hat ever this year.

It's time to roll out 2 of my favourite lines.
1. Delusions of Granduer
2. Rose-Coloured-Glasses

Cheatin barstidos tried to con the umps that their shot aftr the siren didn't hit the post.. Light years back but Sirengate still grates

Yep... it's looking good...If we finish 6th, and Vic teams fill the Top 4, we'll most likely host our 1st Final at Docklands.

Here are my two favs Helen:

1. F***

2. OFF!

[Zac Attack]

we have no chance of winning the premiership but i believe if we can win a final this year will not be totally a write off. getting games and finals into younger players should be of paramount importance and attempted to reload for what should be the real deal next year.

[spert]

Probably won't happen, an outside glimmer maybe, but gawd, if we did win the flag this season.mmm

wow...you're so intellectual and intelligent. watch out because I'm coming to get ya.

[BakesFan]

Don't discount The Sainters...

We won in '66 without (arguably) our best player..Carl Ditterich.... you only need to be a point in front when that final siren goes.

Adelaide managed to pinch it from 5th in '98..

The weight of expectation is off our boys and I believe the disappointments of seasons past will give them an unmatched ferocity in this years Finals.

This team's best can match it with anyone.

Four quarters of Saints Footy can beat anyone.


p.s- Helen is a Flog!

I'll be very happy if you end up being as right about your first point as you are about your second

[bergsone]

Just keep winning,ladder postion will look after itself then

Helen has a point.

West Coast is the only team of any quality that we've rolled, and our skill level is still not anywhere near what it needs to be to knock over Carlton, Geelong or Collingwood in a final, where we'd need to beat all 3 to win a flag.

It's still gonna be great watching us try though.....

[Marcus1232]

I don't care if we are the better team I only care that we are the winning team.

Alistair Clarkson said that after the 08 grand final

[Life Long Saint]

Totally different finals structure then.
The Crows were smashed in the first week by Melbourne.
They survived and defeated Sydney at the SCG the next week (we lost to them by two points in the first week).

In today's system if you finish 5th - 8th and lose you are out. No double chance.

It was an abomination of a system and was only in place for a few seasons.

It's still gonna be great watching us try though.....

Yet while we were terribly out of form we came within a goal of both Geelong and Carlton, so logic suggests that if we have improved significantly we could beat both of those sides…

Fine.

How have we gone against the Pies in our past two outings?

Do you discard the fact that we drew with them in a GF six months ago when you choose the 'last 2' as a reference?

Of course they're definitely ahead of us at the moment but they were last year too before we were dead level in GF 1. They're doing it comfortably at the moment but aren't unbeatable, e.g. cats 08, saints 09.

[Rosco]

a 5 goal win should tip us over sydney's percentage.

the round 22 game is shaping as the mother of all 8 point games though...
