[joop]

Going to be a scrappy game. Rain expected around 2.

I'm going to have to lower my goal kicking predictions for Bruce and Paddy now. They'll only kick 5 each instead of 10.

 

[VDS66]

I think the club should give serious consideration f all the cliched reasons given and make 15 changes every week to satisfy everyone on here... and some people will still be pissed at the changes.

A bit of talk about the Parish cup in this thread, not sure if serious guys, Just go out to win.

You're just saying that cause you want Parish.

No I don't, I want to win.

Might be time we started to real in that artistic license a little

 

[Dopey BJ]

No I don't, I want to win.

You lot must have learnt from lessons past

 

[joop]

No I don't, I want to win.

Then what do you care if we don't want to?

 

[Blackas87]

Then what do you care if we don't want to?

because I'd rather beat teams trying to win

 

[Periphery]

because I'd rather beat teams trying to win

Look at our team and tell me if you think we are tanking.

 

[Blackas87]

I don't think you are, was more pointing out that some fans just might rather not win.

Anyway lets hope for another tight game fighting out to the end

The players will definately be trying to win. As supporters we still do want to win, but won't be upset if you win and jump above us on the ladder.

your contribution has been noted, you want your team to win. Got it.

Yeah naa, I agree with the Dees supporter. I want to win, couldn't give a stuff if it means we have pick 6 instead of pick 5 we'll get a good player regardless. Winning helps with membership numbers, crowds, sponsor money, TV time slots, etc, as well as creating a winning culture, which Melbourne lack.

Go saints!

 

[Michael Scarn]

Apologies if it's been discussed but is there a certain area today that saints fans will be sitting?

 

[Defacto]

Demon supporter here, don't mean to invade your convo, but do any of you blokes have an update on Reiwoldt? will he play?

will play

 

[Plugger35]

One of our rare FTA games today but we get the bloody West Coast v Sydney game on FTA here in WA instead.

Probably means I'll have to rely on my AFL live app to watch it which is as reliable as Sam Gilbert's kicking.

I agree, I'd rather win, if it costs us a slightly worse pick that's still better than instilling a tanking culture which has wrecked both Melbourne and Carlton for years.
