saints for mine by 7 points

Suns by 3 goals

 

[aussierulesrules]

Suns looking like being at full strength, at home, season and possibly coach’s career on the line. Will be huge for us if we get up.

 

[Billy ray]

Woooo
Pumped

Well the thread is about the Saints so we're due for at least half a dozen smug comments for sure.

 

[GC2015]

This one is an 8-point swing game. If we can beat St Kilda here then we're guaranteed to be within one win of the top 8 and in doing so keep our season alive as well as probably several other clubs. 100% healthy list on our home deck against the depleted Saints. I think we're a good chance here.

Suns by 22 points.

Important game for both teams. No doubt Dew's career is on the line (probably gone). While mathematically finals are still possible, in reality finals are gone. Unfortunately, just to play competitive footy for 4 quarters is a goal.

Saints also played uninspired footy around bye but I thought the team finally played well against Demons and if they converted, they had a chance to win it despite injuries.

To play finals, Saints don't want to drop this game.

 

[LuckyBounce!]

This is a must win if we are any chance to play finals or the season is done if we lose I reckon

 

[NetworkNerd]

Suns with the sacked coach rebound?

 

[projectv]

Well this game just got a whole lot more interesting.

 

[bradydaw91]

So many factors working in the suns favour. Injuries to the Saints, new coach rebound. Suns are my lock of the week.

 

[Lord_Flashheart]

Suns with the sacked coach rebound?

Odds have tightened with the Suns now $1.53 favourites despite getting flogged by the Saints earlier in the year and having a very poor recent record against them. Steven King going for that 100% coaching record.

 

[Truetiger]

It’s sad really coach gets sacked team usually performs well. Will be an interesting game.

 

[GC2015]

Suns with the sacked coach rebound?

Yeah, I can see it happening. Bad news for the Saints as they really need to win this one to keep their finals hopes alive. Then again, so do we.

Go suns this week, we need saints to drop some more games lol.

Be afraid now Saints fans

What is it with ex-St Kilda players ending up interim coaches and then playing us. Two in six weeks now!

Lots to play for, and our games are usually always close. Really looking forward to it, but not confident.

 

[TheNewEnsign]

This is one the Saints should win, we've beaten GC the last (six?) times we've played and did it easy earlier this year. Probably will be close though.

Although still mathematically possible, there's almost zero chance realistically of GC making finals. If we can stay close until the end of the third quarter I think they'll go on holiday early.

We haven't played Gold Coast the week they sacked a coach though, if we are good enough we should still win but it's another factor going against us.

 

[Mofra]

Coach-bounce in play here.
On paper, the Suns have a midfield as good as any - Miller, Anderson & Rowell is an incredible starting trio.
Kick after the siren might be in play here, just because the footy gods have a sense of humour

 

[My Tilly]

but not confident.

You were pretty cocky when you started the year 6-0.
Get back to being that cocky Saints man who has a chip on the shoulder. Post like your avatar!

Well that aged well

In typical Saints fashion we will be facing a team after a sacked coach, or a team that has been lambasted in the media for an entire week a La Eagles and Dees.

Still, off the back of a much improved performance last week despite playing two down, I’m going with the Saints …just. Another nail biter.

 

[kreglze]

Pressure off the Suns, really no expectations now Dew is gone and finals are all but done, will probably end up winning.
