No Chance

[Nannes]

do you guy honestly think you can beat the Saints if so how?
And we what team?

 

[Thunderbird]

If the Saints were at full strength then our chances would not be great. Our recent form against the Saints in Melbourne has been lacklustre.

However, there's about six Saints players who are either not going to play because of injury or would be playing under an injury cloud. One or two Saints players will also return from injury this week and will be underdone. Therefore, the Saints will be more vulnerable than usual.

In a final anything can happen, and history counts for nothing when both clubs start at 0.0.0 on the scoreboard at the opening bounce.

Most Swans fans like the sound of "no chance". It's been echoing around most of the big games we've played for a few years now.

There is only one word we hate: certainty. That scares us.

 

[Bloods Rule!]

This is our thrid year of playing finals. There's a good chance we can tough it out. But we have to kick straight.

Bring on the crows or eagles. No match for a fired up Sydney Swans and 90,000 screaming Victorians and NewSouthWelshmen baying for Crows or Eagles blood.

Go you mighty Bloods. Bring it home.

Your analysis was spot on. Well done!

I thought St Kilda looked old and tired way before the game was won. They were exactly as you said – underdone. Their week off meant nothing.

They were vulnerable, and more vulnerable than usual. Excellent call. Perfectly stated, Thunderbird.

I look forward to your analysis of Sydney vs Adelaide in the GF, if Adelaide gets over WCE tomorrow.

Beat the Saints and the bloody umpires. Great gutsy determined effort.

[benny_w]

Very minimal support but majority will be for us

Regrettably, that's not going to be the case because the brave Crows did not overcome the Eagles. But thanks to the Crows for softening up the Saints for us.

My analysis of the GF will have to wait until we find out if Baz plays on Saturday.
