It will be a coach killer or at least should be if we lose to North. No matter how many injuries we have. Pre season everyone in here was banging on about the depth we had in the list.

People are irrational. We have better potential players in the depth not better depth.

It would be a nightmare publicity wise but Lyon won't be unsafe until next year.

 

[SaintersUnite]

I swear to god if we lose to this rabble… half the VFL teams would beat them on current form.

Relax Gringo come next Saturday we will all be saying what the hell were we all nervous about and be celebrating and toasting our 5 point win like it was 1966 all over again.

 

[SG34]

We were better last year - eh?
When we completely destroyed North Melbourne. lol

 

[moirae42]

You just know this is going to be five goals to four at half time.

 

[Cairnsman]

This week's game really is our 2024 Grand Final.

Everything is on the line.

We all know what will happen if the thinkable happens.

You can get $6.05 on a North win. Mnnn.. tempted?

Saints fans expect finals. They're already annoyed at how we have gone so far. A loss to North will just be bad news all round.

 

[beside the seaside]

The next two weeks are basically a test to keep our season alive. We really need to win the next two and win well to get our percentage back to competitive. If we lose this week or next week then the season is gone in terms of finals which is fairly depressing given it will be early May.

Nah. What are the Saints paying for 200+?

I'm putting something on that to hedge my emotions...how much will soothe me if it turns nasty is all I need to decide

 

[Sully111]

Anything under a 40 point win will be a disgrace

 

[Miha]

Anything under a 40 point win will be a disgrace

39 it is!

 

[Saints43]

Anything under a 40 point win will be a disgrace

4 points for 1 point wins and above.

 

[Cairnsman]

Anything under a 40 point win will be a disgrace

Whoa!

North match up on us reeeeeeal well and will have been setting themselves for us as they would see us as gettable.

Maybe this could be one of those rare weekends a holiday is advisable if you think we already have the points.

 

[SG34]

Nah. What are the Saints paying for 200+?

i wonder if there us a formula to calculate that, just theoretically?

 

[Verdun66]

Honestly.....IMO....if we have trouble with North.......in theory.....we are in all sorts of trouble.

Yes...those 2 very very ordinary performances by us against them last year are in the back of my mind....but that was last year.

If we do in fact struggle against North all match.then yes....we are in a spot of bother.

Hope not. Just a nervous nelly these days!

 

[The Boar]

Anything under a 40 point win will be a disgrace

We barely score above 40 let alone win by that much!!

We would be doing well with a 20 point win because all of their strength is where our weaknesses are.

 

[Diehard Saint]

So.
Webster back in immediately, or no?
Going to have a target on his back.

 

[EddieMurphy]

If we are not a certainty against North then there is no hope...how in anyones right mind can we be worried about losing against North?

How long you been a Saints supporter for?

 

[stfan]

Anything under a 40 point win will be a disgrace

Is that our total score, or the winning margin?

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

Not normally a fan of bulk changes but something has to give to get out of the rut.

In: M. King, P. Dow, Z. Jones, J. Hayes, L. Collard

Out: A. Caminiti, A. Hastie, H. Garcia, Z. Cordy, J. Higgins (susp)

 

[BrutThough]

So.
Webster back in immediately, or no?
Going to have a target on his back.

I hope so. We need someone who can actually defender the smaller players.

Let North be distracted by him. We will just play the ball.

 

[SG34]

All Saints fans know not to look back.
It doesn’t do any good.
Round 19, last year.
North are 17th, with 2 wins.
We are down by 12 at half time.
We have kicked four goals for the match.
After a solid third quarter, we are down by 16 points at 3/4 time.
Finally, the engines ignite, and the plane manages to lift, just, skimming the waves.
Up a point midway through the last.
Higgo gets the sealer at the 28 min mark of the last.
We win by 8 points.
Against a team with 8 points on the ladder.
At Round 19!
This is no certainty.

 

[Sainter93]

I want Webster straight back in to make this game interesting, as we all know it will be 3.8 to 4.7 at half time
