Melbourne's confidence is shot. I did the ladder predictor and have them missing the eight IMO

I would love it if they collapsed in a heap from this point on, but we'll see.

BTW I know you were joking about the 8.

Honestly the competition is so open right now. It's kind of the perfect year for the "why not us" mentality.

Such an open comp. If we could keep improving we can win the flag, along with a few other clubs.

Hawks 08 vibes?

Can't believe we finished 4th that year with a blistering 13 win season and 110%.

Wow, I'd forgotten completely about that! I just checked Wikipedia and you're right, we played in the finals series - lost to Cats, beat Pies and finally lost to Hawthorn in prelims.

Does anyone remember how that game went? I couldn't even see the final score.

Interesting to note that Chips won B&F that year.

I was at that prelim and from memory they destroyed us. We were never in it.

What language is this?

Most likely gobble-de-gloop but seriously it's such a weak year and an up-and-comer could definitely take it out.

Why not... us?

Yeah look I'm not confident but there's water to go under the bridge yet.

Looking forward to a very disappointing end to the season and a burnt down forum if we don't win the flag then

I'd be sacking the coach if we don't win the flag

 

[George]

I'd be sacking the coach if we don't win the flag

If we finish on top I'd sack the coach right then and there

 

[SaintsSeptember]

That was 06, when we finished 6th and lost to 7th ( Guess who ).
Wonder how many coaches got sacked when the team made finals.

Paddy is a rock this game

kicking impressed me most

 

[Diehard Saint]

Really enjoying watching Paddy play.

Had a great field kick with us as well, real low piercing kicks.

 

[lewdogs]

kicking impressed me most

He was always a beautiful field kick.

 

[BrutThough]

Some terrible skills errors from Melbourne this quarter.

 

[George]

"Darce" reckons a ruckman should be tagged. Loving the expert commentary

 

[Diehard Saint]

Games gone up a notch. Hope the Swans can do it.
Got to nullify Gawn somehow.

 

[BrutThough]

Melbourne just keep bombing it to nothing. Zero forward structure tonight.

 

[George]

Sydney's disposal has been horrendous tonight

 

[BrutThough]

What a kick from Eroll

 

[my name was taken]

Good lord

 

[BrutThough]

Terrible decision from the ump but seals it for Sydney.

 

[George]

Umpires LOL

 

[Joffaboy]

Terrible decision from the ump but seals it for Sydney.

Both knees in Papley's back. Free every day of the week.
