Game Day Round 23, 2016 - St Kilda vs Brisbane Lions

[ZoBlitz]

Hello from Karkow!

We're not great at winning but can we lose reasonably enough to avoid the spoon?

Either way I'll be gorging on pierogi.

 

[Elixuh]

Big congratulations to everyone who has gotten through the season!

 

[Balony_pony16]

Acres is in my DT Keepers..Looking forward to see him play. Heard he is going good

 

[Simba Moyo]

Big day. Here's hoping for a high scoring contest and a memorable one for Sauce's 200th.

Go Lions!

 

[Viceregal]

I have a dream ... that some day ... some time ... somehow ... the Lions will once again take part in September!

 

[Milux]

I must admit. I normally dread end of season. But TBH. My father in law just bought a big arse boat. Looking forward to the weekends even more now.

 

[M Malice]

if the boys put in a similar performance to the games against the pies, dockers and power this year the spoon is a certainty.

the saints are a hell of a good 2 way running side, if they are on today we could be on the receiving end of the 3rd 100 point flogging of the weekend.

come on boys there is a hell of a lot to play for today, lets see intensity and pride in performance. all 22 need to channel their inner Mitch Robinson competitive spirit.

stay in good with the father in law Milux.

from my experience it is infinitely better to know someone with "a big arse boat" than to own one yourself.

Haha.

Best part is I have all the deck hand/fish filliting experience. Plus i know all the good spots.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Just no long term injuries that will impact next season please.

 

[BRAB]

Thanks for the year everyone.

One more game and then we can all forget this ever happened

Do we want to lose by 9 goals? Pick 1 and first pick in PSD.? Just putting it out there.

 

[lioninthesand]

It's been a rough ride, that part where the Bear attacked us (the pies game) was particularly difficult.

 

[lioninthesand]

I do, I don't really care about the shame of a spoon and would love both those picks. I am not advocating tanking, an act which destroys football clubs. However, we are the worst side in the comp by most measurables so who cares? if its clear we are going to lose half way through the third, ill be hoping its by 8 goals plus.

 

[MacMum]

It has become apparent since yesterdays games, that we are NOT the worst side by most measurables....we have company.

i would by far prefer the win in which case we would end up with pick 3 and still a very good recruit although if we do lose by a big margin the feeling will be no different than what we have felt post match for the majority of the season.

one thing is a certainty, we will not be tanking.

I don't think we will need to tank, losing by six goals or so does absolutely nothing for us. Lose by a couple more and it could make a huge differnce to our future. The spoon is a momentary bit of shame at the end of the game but quickly becomes a useful tool. We have been kicked in the guts for 10 years , I happy to take one more big one if we can get up afterwards.

My preparation for the game has begun. Carbohydrate loading (tick)
Trying to convince the kids that today they might actually see their first victory (tick)
Snacks packed (tick)
Fitzroy Scarf (tick)
Fitzroy Beanie (tick)
Valium packed (tick)
List of reasons to be delivered on the train home as to why the boys shouldn't barrack for Hawthorn or GWS (tick - using reasons from the last Carlton game at Etihad)
Anti Depressant script filled at Chemist Warehouse (tick)

Should be a great day.

Remember, the number one draft pick is only for one draft. The spoon is forever.

I hope the boys go out there and fight tooth and nail to avoid that travesty. If we're going down, we're going down kicking and screaming the whole way! WE ARE THE LIONS DAMMIT!

Yeah to clarify I want a win. Just if we lose (which given their running power / hunger) is highly likely, I hope its by 8 goals. We have proven tanking isnt part of our vocabulary (props to coach) so I dont think for a second we will tank, just don't care about the spoon.

Who else is as bad as us?

The player we get could be a 12 year player.

Or he could do his ACL in his first game (god forbid). You never know. Besides, forever is a lot longer than 12 years.
