Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
Don’t get me wrong, I want the Saints to win every time we run out.....however....
The problem we face is that if we win and North and Freo lose (vs Melb and Port respectively), we’ll finish 12th which moves us into the middle band of teams for next year’s fixtures.
I wouldn’t mind a nice easy run next year for our new coach - it’s done wonders for the Lions!!!

If we win, we win. If we lose, we win.

Pick 5 is better than 6 or 7.
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
I hate the Swans more than the Injectors.
Can't remember the last time we beat them.
Might have been 2010?
I recall we played them in Wellington, NZ, with the dwarf coaching. Might have been 2011? They won by 22 points.

and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
Sydney can’t move up with they win.
They can score one pick better with a loss only IF Carlton beat Geelong (which won’t happen).
Sydney will be therefore wanting a win. Us winning is a bit risky, so we’ve selected Rowe to prevent that possibility

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
During the game I want to win.
Overall, let’s be honest. It does not matter one bit.

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
The season is shot, and looking at some of the slack efforts some of our players put in last week in a winnable game, are they magically going to turn around- I doubt it

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
I’m just thinking about the draft. I’d rather have a Bontempelli than a Billings.

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
Sorry St Chris - we are stuck in the middle band - 7-12 is the middle band - so unless we fall to 13th nothing will change win/lose/drawSt Chris wrote: ↑Tue 20 Aug 2019 11:14pm Don’t get me wrong, I want the Saints to win every time we run out.....however....

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
Our first pick will go to Freo anyway so we may as well win. Haven't beaten the Swans for ages.
Nee!

Would like to win. I’d be bloody annoyed if we got pumped.

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
We're currently 14th. North and Freo are the only teams we can overtake, and we cant drop any further.Sainter_Dad wrote: ↑Wed 21 Aug 2019 8:45amSorry St Chris - we are stuck in the middle band - 7-12 is the middle band - so unless we fall to 13th nothing will change win/lose/drawSt Chris wrote: ↑Tue 20 Aug 2019 11:14pm Don’t get me wrong, I want the Saints to win every time we run out.....however....

So you want us to win?
Very good perspective!

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
It doesn't matter. I hope we win - and that North and Freo both win, securing us a top 5 draft pick. But I think Freo will lose to Port.
We need to learn to win interstate, however.
We haven't won interstate against anyone (except Gold Coast, and even that has been close) since Round 9, 2015. This team needs to learn resilience and how to win on the road.

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
Always play to win but it won't matter for this year if we don't. Billings on a podcast said the guys were looking forward to the end of the season so they have switched off alittle I think.

Re: Does it matter to you whether we win or lose this weekend against Sydney
If you're not in the final 8, then it's just messing around at the edges. I lost a lot of interest last season as did many Saint mates, and only having Ratts come on board and get a few wins, mildly sparked me up, but after the mess we made against Carlton, I'm done.
