Round 18

[PJ_12345 1,098]

The split round is already proving to upset more than just your weekend.

With Carlton beating North last night, and prematurely locking in St Kilda over Freo, there is a genuine possibility we could finish on the bottom of the ladder.

Will be an interesting an interesting to see how Brisbane fare against against Gold Coast.

One thing is for certain; St Kilda's case for a PP just got harder!

[Deemotivated 550]

StKilda are NOT tanking!!

I still think we have enough about us to roll both the Lions and GWS, but you're right in saying that with games like these finishing on the bottom is not out of the question.

We might upset a tired Port?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

We might upset a tired Port?

The optimist in me says we can.

The eternal Melbourne supporter in me is getting angry because GWS will probably pull something out of the bag against the Cats... and then we are the only team not to pull off an upset and get done by 10 goals, thus ruining my weekend and not joining in the 'upsets'.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Would be fantastic if this became "that" round of the year where all the lowly clubs find a way to win against all odds. It does happen.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Makes you wonder why the saints haven't at any point shown form anything close to this, if they played like this all year they would have a lot more wins

So why can't we beat North like the other crap teams ?!

The pessimist in me says that just as the Saints were playing for Lenny today, Port will be playing for Cassisi tomorrow.

I forgot about that...

[Deemotivated 550]

Picks 1 and 2 coming up...

[Toorak 108]

Is it true that Saints were after a priority pick? "Long suffering supporters"........ Give us a break!

[SaberFang 7,151]

I forgot about that...

Fairly disrespectful from Port as well. Not prepared to play him unless they're expecting an easy kill.

[chook fowler 19,585]

Sylvia 7 possessions and 24 dream team points!

I can understand it though - they are playing for a Top 4 spot, playing him against us should be ok as it won't hurt them too much. Playing him against a Hawthorn for example would hurt them, theoretically.

Poor Sylv......what a lost soul.

His influence is starting to have an effect at Fremantle.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Saints played with three big forwards today!

What a difference that makes to any team.

Oh, yeah, there was the Lenny factor too.....

[jumbo returns 6,741]

GWS are putting up a bold showing against the Cats....early, though.

I'd love it if both Scott coaches lost this weekend! Yes!

Has he played his last AFL game? I would think at least for this year he has...

7 very uninspiring Col possessions. "X" Factor written all over them...

It would be different if he'd had a full preseason.

[Frosty Demon 153]

He'll probably come out and kick four on grand final day.

Can't believe he was able to get away with his crap for so long at MFC.

[P-man 13,366]

We are looking like outright bandits with Pick 23 as compo. Would be lucky to get anything for him now.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,981]

Wouldn't it be seriously ironic if Roos guided us into last place despite the tangible improvement between rounds 4-15 and the major praise heaped on the man.

A win against either Brisbane or GWS OR if Saints fail to win another game should see us avoid the spoon.
