Without Reiwoldt and Montagna we should beat Stkilda...Lenny Hayes who use to dine out against us is also gone, they are a bunch of kids essentially and players like Murphy and Gibbs should be in the best players on the ground.
Lose to Stkilda and we are rockbottom and Malthouse should resign...maybe Laidley should have coached this week if the Malthouse family are upset at Micks treatment/scrutiny in the media etc...

There you have it, what a great story. I haven't seen us win a GF live, my greatest triumph is the 99 Prelim.
Seen them all from 1968 onwards. That one was after a 21 year drought.

Could be worse, Collingwood have only won 4 in the last 79 years. Not alot of joy there.

We have an advantage. We're undefeated in NZ while St.Kilda have never won there...haha!

Miklshake should do the honourable thing and step down after equaling the record. Be a Mark Taylor mick, and not a glory hunting Matthew Hayden, getting easy runs that you don't deserve.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Curnow, Armfield, Ellard, Bell and Tutt.    Would any of these guys get a run at Box Hill?

Yep, but only around the boundary line though !!   ;D

Agree wholeheartedly but we can't lose this one, surely ??

We have the edge in most areas so it would have to be a complete & utter disaster to drop this one, would be one of the biggest embarrassments of our time as well too if it were to happen.

There would be no escaping the scrutiny and heads would have to roll, would make for an interesting week in the AFL though.  ;)

I don't believe we are trying to win TBH.

Reckon the tank is on?...I.keep hearing about the two for one deal in terms of selling off one pick and getting two lesser picks in return.
Someone at the club mentioned it but I forget who it was....think last trade period that GWS offered the Saints two top ten picks for their 1st pick(could have been 4 and 7).
If we do get the No 1 pick and you could be right about not trying  to win then I think we will try and trade it off for two picks like GWS wanted to trade...

Tanking after round 3 would have to set a new standard in defeatism :(

I wouldn't be against trading 1 for 4 & 6 provided it's a very even draft between the top 10.

x2...We have to play the odds and having two picks in the top ten gives you more chance of snaring at least one quality player.
I wasnt against the Pick 7 for Jaksch, Whiley and Boekhorst and thought that has been one of our better trades over the recent years.

It's just a feeling I get.

3 hammy's in a week.
Super defensive footy.
Resting Judd.
Smith as a sub.

If Micks not part of the tank corp he's doing a mighty fine impersonation of Rommel.

Yep number 1 rarely becomes the best player in their draft.

If we are indeed tanking then I would take that as an indicator that Mick's contract could well be extended, maybe with some new assistants.
Reality always wins in the end.
