Game Day Always beat the Paperbaggers, no matter the cost

[Saints TV]

At the end of the day Ross and the players are here to win every game they play, so anyone's argument of why we should throw the game for a pick is useless. We are building a ruthless approach to game day and training regime and that isn't being thrown out the window simply to move a few spots in the draft.

 

[sauce_head]

You cant have one without the other , pretty obvious I would have thought unless you can tell me how we can win and still improve our draft position

You want one thing more than the other. It’s pretty simple. It doesn’t have to be logical, but we are talking about wants here, not logic.

People want the higher draft pick(s) more than they want the win.

 

[sauce_head]

Can you please explain to me what he is on about ( The Mod )

No idea!

 

[Sully111]

there's a massive difference between last year's draft and this year's draft.

but mckercher went 2.

I don't see what a pick 2 has anything to do with pick 5-8 anyway?

who was pick 58 in 1996 is probably just as relevant

Reid or mckercher... who would you take?

Exactly, we're all just speculating the ifs and buts. Going off the last month and in particular the last round, it's very clear the team is motivated to win these games and take scalps.

We would have taken Mckercher for sure. Reid is arrogant pr*k like Petracca. We only draft choir boys.

 

[manicpie]

Sorry to intrude but just letting you know you have every Collingwood supporter in the world hoping you smash those blue ferrets

 

[Sol Goodman]

When teams like WC and North get smashed by 100 points it's not cause there tanking it's cause there ECO and that's a coaching issue. The players got to be hungry to win too though.

Is this game sold out? Can't get a ticket on Ticketmaster

why does it make a difference?

we don't have pick one or 2, we have atm, pick 6 and 7.

there is a marked difference in that Reid was touted as the best junior to come through in umpteen years, where as this draft, it seams very even for the first 7-10 picks, so it really doesn't make one iota of difference where we land.

we pick who we pick and we back the development team to get it right.

I can't see a vast difference between pick 5 and 8 in this draft.

Saints smashing Geelong last week have given the whole non Carlton afl community hope
This could be the most watched game of the season to this point.
Purchase some advertising time Chery!!

If anyone has two tickets they can't use that they'd like to sell, let me know.

My point is picks can make a difference

At no point have I said I want us to lose though.

I'm just saying both points of view are valid.

 

[EddieMurphy]

Where ? there is a poll on this page , no list

OP split in 2, OP+1 if you will

Big load of waffle edited out of OP+1 as well I think.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Cant believe the amount that want us too lose , FFS haven't you seen us lose enough games over the last 50 years

I think the chances of the umpires letting us knock the Scum out of finals is very low.

 

[bergholt]

Is this going to sell out? I want to come general admin but can't get there until about 3pm. Will I be sitting on the roof?

 

[CaptainRisky]

As they say in the movies , Put the gun down son

Do you really need to shoot everyone , Scott last week now Vossy's time is up

 

[The Jack]

McGovern, I’m told is not playing.

 

[projectv]

I'd rather us square away picks 5 and 6.

Carlton would play either Brisbane at the Gabba or Hawthorn. Either way, they are week one roadkill.

I'm in the draw group, though feel filthy having to rely on Freo. Fully expect the team to go for the win though, this is just because I want cake as draw also gives us a chance for Blues to get bent over.

 

[Pardon me]

McGovern, I’m told is not playing.

He was named on the bench at selection I believe.
Strong indicator he’d be a late out

A draw and a Freo win would be an outcome none of us deserve, but we can still hope. The melts would be epic.

I mean worst case is us winning then freo losing. Which is reasonably likely.

Can we please stop making Garcia the sub? This club does my head in.
