What happens if a big sink hole opens up suddenly and swallows you beneath the earth?

I'd suggest prevention is better than cure. Keep your eyes open and focus on the ground instead of the sky

Fair assumption that you'll be donning the Winkle Pickers ready to insert them into the rectum of your latest whipping boys!

Then you have a dilemna on your hands

How much of the remaining $19 million do you keep and share after donating $1m to the StKFC

Nothing I’d have thought. It’s not the easiest draw but at the same time it’s a long season. Cant be making snap decisions.

That's very profound, Scollop. Sensible advice. Way too sensible for this time of year. The days before Round 1 are similar to the lead-up to Xmas. Full of excitement, hope, optimism, and enthusiasm.

Then, just like Xmas, round 1 and reality rarely meet our inflated expectations, but I live in hope. Just like most long-suffering Saints' supporters. In keeping with your post, it is wise to temper our expectations.

I just want the bloody footy to start!! Go Sainters!

Sorry big fella, but you aint getting a private jet let alone crew it, if you only win $20.
You may charter a flight or two but that will just about see you through.

None of the teams that were 0-2 last season played finals.
Brisbane and GWS were 1-2
GWS were 1-3.

There was a lot of change post byes last season.
GWS, Sydney, and Carlton were all out of the eight after round 15.
It wasn't until round 23, that the teams in the eight were settled.

There is a fair chance it happens, but let's see how we look at the midway of the season. Our 2nd half of the year should be easier so I expect us to come storming into finals this year.

Well that's the most probable scenario, last two premiers on their own turf, one a Spud's game. We win in Geelong about once every 50 years, we never win a Spud's game.
As long as there is not a thrashing involved it's more palatable than losing the last two.
Hope it doesn't happen, but if it does will be interesting to see if Selectors keep their nerve. Please don't let us have more injuries.
What is it, to make finals a team needs to win 60%? So that ask for the remainder rises only marginally. Not the end of the world by any means. Lose 3 in a row, especially when all are to a serious rival for the 8, then it's all hands to the pumps.

I too think we're a good chance in both games :) . I really mean that. Collingwood are vulnerable this early in the year. Geelong are not as good as they think they should be.

Sorry mate. I was trying to give the op some advice and it wasn't really meant for every Saints supporter

I was telling him he need not try and predict the results and worry about outcomes...and neither
should our team. Maybe focus on prevention (as in prepare well and play the game with purpose) and we should win 1 or both.

Its a long season,sides will lose at the cattery and the pies will win their fair share,I believe we can win both.My only concern would be a blow out 40 60 point loss

Fair question it might happen lets hope it doesn't. Well the first half of the draw is difficult but the second half we play a lot of home games and lets hope we come home with a wet sail and storm into the finals.

Your post is very confusing.
If you think we can win then why are you concerned of a blowout of 40 to 60 points?
