Other games watch post effecting us

Post: # 1692102Post saintspremiers »

First up Friday night Footscray vs GWS - go GWS!

Next up Essendon Adelaide Sat night - go Adelaide!
Also Sat night WCE Carlton - go Blues! (vomit alert!)

If those three games all go the right way and we then beat the Dees on Sunday we are in the 8

Its funny, I was playing with the ladder predictor over the weekend and basically my calculations for the finals are as follows:

1. GWS win the next 2 games (they are favorites and should win)
2. Tigers win the next 2 games (they should do it you would think)
3. Saints win the next 2 games (melb and north, not outside the realms of possibilities)

Final round. Tigers and Saints play Sunday afternoon.
GWS win earlier in the round and would finish 2nd. Richmond are sitting 3rd.
If the tigers defeat the saints, tigers still finish 3rd.
If the tigers lose. Tigers still finish 3rd.
If saints win they finish anything from 6th to 8th (even 9th because of percentage but unlikely)
If saints lose they finish almost certainly 9th or 10th or even 11th.

Would the tigers field a strong side in the final game if it did not matter whether they won or not as to where they finished?

Richmond will respond against us big time after we flogged them .

I've done the ladder predictor and we win the flag.

We just have to beat Sydney in Sydney, Richmond at the 'G again, Adelaide in Adelaide and GWS in the big dance.

It's not inconceivable. Just need to get Stephen Bradbury down to Seaford
for a lecture on how he won Gold at speed skating at the Olympics,
when the last corner saw everyone fall over in a huge pile of bodies.

Game on !!! :roll: :shock:

Having seen him talk on many occasions, I can assure you he thinks it was no fluke. He won because he trained hard every day

Yes because the afl has a silly bye now before the finals, remember?

If Richmond have secured 3rd there will be no reason for them to bust a gut against us but who knows.

Sounds pretty grim.

It would be good to win 13 games which is one more win than last season and which would probably get us into the finals.

I'd be happy if we're very competitive in a final against say a Sydney which would give us something to work with in the off season.

Next year with the addition of say a Kelly and a few others like a Freeman plus continued improvement in our young guys, I'd be wanting us to win at least 14-15 games.

If Adelaide beat Essendon & we beat Melbourne this week we go 4 points clear of both of them.

Wins against North & Richmond will then have us playing finals.

Eagles still have to verse Adelaide & GWS in the last two rounds.

Let's just take each game as it comes. Worry only about the things that WE can control. What other teams do is up to THEM. go Saints! GO!

Sure.

Let me think.

Barracking, beer drinking, abusing the maggots, calling Jack Watts a gumby and a useless flog..all from the long room with my FIL (Demons supporter) giving me dirties..

Richmond is barnstorming its way to 9th, nothing to fear.


USELESS FACT: The WADA case against Essendon (in Sydney as well) is exactly 10 years to the day that Australia qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

If I live for another eight years I'll be eighty

If I pick the right numbers I'll win Tattslotto this week

If Tony Abbott's prayers get answered he'll be PM again! ( OR pope!)

Oh, and if the Saints beat Smelbourne, they could still make the eight!

Just control what we can control.

Controlling one's flatulence in a crowded room would be a good start.

Go Saints.

To hell with the rest!!!

Just as well, cause we ain't getting Dusty. He is signing with Richmond according to a very good source.
