Toast S8INTS in the Finals!

[Premium]

Well we are in the finals and how far we go is up to the players and what they bring on game day - I feel we have the measure of every team on our day.

I'm happy to move on a few after the flag.

 

[hayes]

If they don't play Brisbane first week of finals, they will most likely have to go to the GABBA and play the Lions in a prelim

Makes sense to get it over and done with win you have the second chance.

I think they’ll beat Collingwood if they play them week 1 which gives them a home prelim. Looks like the Pies peaked way too early like Melbourne last year.

It's most likely RTB will have a full senior player list to select from for the final.

What a great position to be in if they are and all available and freshened up.

 

[kernelT]

How good is unwarranted confidence and futile hope?

 

[kernelT]

My only request after we win the flag this year is… bringing in all the dud picks we made and also the players we missed out on over the journey.

Mattress, Bont, trac, … not sure how far we go back but I reckon Justin Sweeney

gets a nod, everyone in the superdraft of 2012 - Wright, White, Murdoch, Pierce, Saunders, Dunnell.

Acres will always be the goat… we can get bleach on stage doing some early nirvana tunes ala Jack Riewoldt but actually playing bangers.

I can't wait.

I would like to play Carlton round 1, just because it'll sellout and the spectacle would be awesome. Plus all the pressure is on them. Can't get greedy in finals but GWS doesn't hit the same as a big Melbourne final round 1

 

[St Neil]

Would be nice if Melbourne would knock off Sydney this week to get us a home final, but if I'm them I rest key players. If I were them I'd much rather lose and end up with a game on their home game against a team that isn't the same without Nick Daicos, versus winning and possibly having to travel to Brisbane where the lions are a different team and haven't lost this year. We're at the mercy of self interest manipulation.

Melbourne are better off finishing 4th and playing Collingwood at the MCG in week 1.

They’ll beat Collingwood as well.

I think the Swans are certainties to beat Melbourne this week. I think we’ll need to beat Brisbane to get a home final.

Nice.

Imagine what the trade period will be like around here if we win the Flag.

All of us will be utterly insufferable!!!

I'm not sure if it's already been posted, but can I leave this here for everyone to enjoy;

Crystal Ball: Our predictions for the 2023 AFL season are in - Crystal Ball: Our predictions for the 2023 AFL season are in

The highest we got picked was 13th, bahahaha, very enjoyable

Bahaha most of them had us “set to fall” Barrett was the kindest to us with 13th lol

Biggest differences between this and the '09 squad, our bottom 6 are better now than' 09 but we lack the match winners we had then.

I hadn't thought about it, but its much more even across the group - here's hoping to a champion team rather than a team of champions

Not to sound too negative, but our top 6 are significantly worse though.

Would you believe ‘top 2’?

Man, imagine is you could chuck peak Riewoldt and, say, Hayes or Dal Santo into this team. We would be unstoppable.

That's half the team different in 3 years. Crazy how quick things move. You wonder what the side will look like in another 3.

 

[sauce_head]

Where’s Long?

Oh that’s right he was suspended
for a much much lesser thing than McCartin did and got off. Hmmm….

 

[phantom13]

We’ve beaten every possible finalist we’ll play in week 1, including doing Sydney in Sydney and GWS at wherever the * they play.

Really should hold no fear regardless of what happens this weekend.

 

[Fruity Boots]

The season is now officially a success.
Go Sainters!

Our side really is so much better now, even though it doesn't feel that different on the surface. Kent, Savage, Marsh, Lonie jeezus
