I swear my point is being lost on some of you. I couldn't give a rats ass if the opposition team get injured - I care about MY team, and MY team WINNING. No pity for the opposition. That's the game. Unless it's something extraordinary like when Jeff white got kicked in the face.

Don't worry, I understand perfectly. I just find this attitude a little bit disappointing, especially given how much misfortune we've suffered over the past few years. I don't think said misfortune justifies it at all.

But to each their own.

For me it's relative, do I want to see players break their legs or do their ACL's? No. But would I care if a player pings his hamstring which allows us to run onto a loose ball and kick a winning goal? Hell no.

That second example doesn't really qualify as an injury or being comparable to the current St. Kilda situation. If a player takes a misstep in a contest that hinders them and prevents them from getting to the ball then I'm all for that also. That's the name of the game. But a player who's trained hard over the preseason having to sit out because they injured themselves before the game isn't something to celebrate at all.

If we lose a fair game of football I can take that - I just don't see any pride in being the kind of winners that celebrates the game really not being fair at all. Not telling anyone else how to think or feel or support the club, just stating my opinion.
 
that's what depth is for. If they don't recruit for depth, that's their fault. No pity to the SAINTS.
No doubt it's a shame for Jack, but in regards to the Saints - pfft - couldn't care less.

When you play a game of footy, you put the best available team out on the park, no excuses. Once that siren goes - the best team on the day wins. Time for us as supporters to get some cnut into us.

For years we make excuses for us being shit - now we're gonna start making excuses for the opposition? seriously?

I don't totally disagree with you - I'd just rather beat St Kilda with Montagna and Steven than beat them without the two, and I think we're capable of doing either if we play our best.

Welll I can honestly say that I agree wholeheartedly with you that we can beat them both with and without Steven and Monty.

Go Dees ;)
 
Don't care who plays or not, injuries are a part of football and we'll have players out too. Hope the Saints boys get back to fitness soon, but I find it hilarious that we're already talking about winning round 1. I still expect our boys to choke, the sign of Roos will be that they come back stronger in Round 2 and so on, so forth. It's a process, I expect St Kilda to win but I think the new staff will make sure that it doesn't define our season as Port did last year and Brisbane did in the game for Jim Stynes.

Screw the Saints ... Tough luck - hopefully we smash the sh!te out of them and rub it in badly. We need to smash them and go into rnd 2 confident. Don't pity the saints because of last years outs - they never pitied us, no one did. Bleed red and blue, close one eye and go for the throat.

Is it OK by you to go for the throat first? Cos with bleeding buckets of red & blue and one eye closed it's gonna be a lot harder leaving it till last.
And really, why waste such bile for the Saints? Save it for where it can create much more damage. The Saints are more than capable of inflicting their own damage.

This x1000000000000.
Remember how we were going to get over Port last year because they were such a rabble? Or the Lions the year before to 'do it for Jim'? There's been some positive signs from the NAB games but to say we're locks to get over the Saints is a big call at this stage. They'll be without Montagna and Steven which will help but it's far from a certainty I think.

Yeah I like this lineup, Although I would like to have Toumpas starting the game from the start, perhaps M.Jones as the Sub.

And Viney could possibly be an inclusion, but we'll have to see how he goes against the Hawks if he gets a run.

But yeah that lineup at the moment is petty much spot on I think

Not sure he will be ready for Rd 1, has been limited all pre-season. Not sure what injury from last year.

Probably Lenny too. Does that help.

I've been keeping tabs on our odds for round 1 since the Richmond practice match. We've shortened from $2.30 to $2.12 (with one site) and we haven't even seen how the Saints are travelling yet. It's a minor movement but suggests either the bookies have noticed us or there has been a bit of money on us coming their way.
