I think he has spoken to the high one, OD.

I really find it hard to see us winning 13 games to ensure a finals birth.

Realistically, we'd have to:

Go 9-3 at the MCG (no more silly losses to Carlton, Port etc...)

Go 2-2 at Etihad (good luck beating 2 of Essendon, St Kilda and Geelong at our hell hole)

Go 2-4 interstate (bloody tough assignments against West Coast, Adelaide x2, GWS and North in Tassie where they are near dominate)

 

 

No reason we can't...

We have a very good well balanced list...

unless we have some real injury problems then I think we would have underachieved if we don't make finals in 2017...

It's the least they could do really. I'm sure there's enough left over in the donation kitty. 

I have a slight dilemma though. My first born is due September 7, the first week of finals. If this isn't a sign we're going to make them, I don't know what is. 

Skyping of births seems the in-thing to do these days. 

At least there'll be plenty of us to watch it with you.

I think some people have forgotten how close we were before we dropped our bundle last year.

If Macca reckons they're focused on building mental toughness + focusing on skills (kicking both sides) + some good recruiting + more experience for the young guns now, I'd be disappointed if we're not in the 8 next September

So you will be happy with one win for 2017?

Sounds like very low expectations to me.

I want to win every game as much as the next person but if we lose round 1 it wont be the end of the world. In fact a loss to a team of simmilar quality could be a good wake up call right at the start of the year. But if we lose round 1 and 2 then it will be time to start panicking because beating Geelong in round 3 will be no easy feat. Its being 0-3 that worries me. We are starting against 3 bogey teams since 2008 we are 2-32 against these 3.

This is the year to put the Etihad ghost or devil to rest. Please let it be. Please God, please. Let this place be heaven and not hell. And I will be a believer once again.

Our problem Ernest is the Saints have been putting the Demons to rest for some time with Gods assistance.

Our best chance is if God stays out of matters.

[Soprano66 9]

It's a massive game it will set the tone for the season if we win I hope

Very good point OD, God is definitely not a supporter. But it is time to exorcise the evil spirits from that place.

We will win if we stop their run and someone.....please, pick up Saint Nick!

You have my vote jr.

It astounds me how he is allowed just run around with no one closer than 20 meters.

One game last year  for a quarter they had Jetta on him which must have been the mismatch of the 21st century.

Does God really take things so literally??? If so then have the AFL schedule the Saints V North on Good Friday...conundrum for God to vex upon!
