Will we beat MELBOURNE?

[Axcellence]

The big one


this should be a really really interesting game... although given St Kilda's game plan these days I am inclined to rather watch paint dry....

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Now that you've made the topic, no.

 

[bubblegoose]

f* yes!

 

[sainter]

Make it a public poll next time.

 

[TassieSaint]

You're only us good as your last game... Melbourne by 4 goals

 

[R1KSTA]

i went to the hawks v demons game today and i believe the way the demons played they will beat the saints by bout 5 goals!!

 

[Axcellence]

Make it a public poll next time.

I wanted to.. but I used "add a poll" after I did the post and somehow missed that option... can you alter it retrospectively?

 

[ChrisFooty]

Yes. We lose, St.kilda are heading bottom four.

get outta here mate you obviously got no idea who gonna match up on kosi riewoldt schnider an milne

 

[ChrisL#12]

Let's tank.

 

[huggy_b]

It almost seems like we are playing for picks - no heart, no passion, no commitment. Its depressing to watch, reminiscent of the Saints in the late 80's/early 90's.

On current form we wont get within 6 goals, but we are just as likely to come out and win. So far it's been a real yo-yo season.

 

[NeXus_Helen]

Yes. We lose, St.kilda are heading bottom four.

You owe me an apollogy big time ChrisFooty.

 

[clobba]

Let's tank.

LOL I dont think we can, as tanking is when you choose to lose or not try isnt it? To tank we would first need to be able to win a game

You must be glowing - bit of a skip in the step, eh? You putting money on Melbourne?

 

[sainter]

Done

Everybody will have to vote again.

I'm waiting a few days to vote, my feelings may have changed by then.

Spot on

 

[Danger Mouse]

If the demons smash us next week, can you imagine the tabloids? Lyon will prolly get fired right then and there....

Next week is crunch time.

 

[bubblegoose]

Done. Everybody will have to vote again. I'm waiting a few days to vote, my feelings may have changed by then.

It's telling me I've already voted Sainter.

Anyway Ax, add +1 to yes from me.

We will beat Melbourne - not because they have been playing badly - I've seen some good highlights from them recently.

But the Saints can do it & they generally do after a media embarrassment.

If they start playing as a team, playing for each other and if they start looking like they want to play - I'd take a loss to get our season back on track. It would be crazy to consider the season away just yet!

 

[saintsrule]

Saints will win, especially as it is at the dome. Note the 4 votes against us are all from Melbourne fans.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Yes but the margin will probably be less than a goal.

 

[Kildonan]

The "NO" voters appear to be all non-Saints so far

So despite the disappointment, it appears we still have some belief in the team

 

[cheeky_chilean]

Yes but it will be a real struggle. like that match against the last place essendon in 06. thats when the saints still played an exciting brand of football and actually kicked 15+ goals a game instead of now where there low scoring and boring

Enough belief to think we can beat the team that is on the bottom of the ladder. But a lot less belief than I had pre-season.

 

[goodie23]

If they play the way they did against the Hawks, we're in serious trouble. They weren't just beating them, they were beating them up, it was great bruising football. I don't know if we've got the stones at the moment to stand firm

 

[Monika72]

I hope the coach gets rid of the trash this week, becasue if we don't it could be a long season and a nail in the coffin for Coach RL.
