Roos or Saints?

[Bas]

Surely we want the Roos to win and win by plenty if possible to give us a chance of a home final.

Bottom line, if we can't beat Brisbane, regardless of the pressure etc., we have no place being in the finals anyway.

If we can't beat the Lions at home we don't deserve a finals spot. So on that basis I want the Roos to win. This may give us a home final and the very sweet possibility that the Saints may miss the finals.

That's what happens when you synchronise your brains staring at the gatorade stand simultaneously.

It occasionally happens when your club is so inconsequential....

..yes and yours will go deep in the finals no doubt. Great form leading up to September!

Cannot believe the love for North on this thread!! I have been waiting 4 years for it! Good luck for the last two rounds.

Vlad the Impaler.

Vlad doesn't look so scary.

Its like choosing between Ghengis Kahn and Vlad the Impaler.

I guess "hoping they beat a finals rival" is the closest thing to love the Roos can expect, eh?

Make the most of it kanga - it won't last.

Norf is just the lesser of 2 evils and it also suits our home final aspirations. That's all.

Any result that has that pathetic excuse for a football club called St Kilda missing the finals, I am there front and centre as head cheerleader.

On that basis, I'm all for a North win, and by lots, followed by a Carlton win.

True, although they might trouble us, they played quite well against collingwood and our record at the SCG this year has been far from impressive. It would be better going into this game with a finals spot wrapped up IMO, afterall is ANZ stadium that much of an advantage for us anyway should we all be wanting for a home final?

Homebush with all it's faults is still a greater advantage than any interstate venue.

V Essendon at Homebush
V Carlton at Docklands

I know which I prefer.

ANZ against anyone is a much better proposition than Etihad against anyone...

It means we get to go to the game. Atmospheres at home finals is always electric, even in the dark bowels of ANZ.

I'm mean spirited and would love the Aints to miss finals, whining captain, whining supporters who all feel they have a god-given right to be successful despite all the evidence to the contrary.

I think we'll go closer to the Cats than many expect. But I also look how the Brions got within about 10 points of the Pies and don't think they'll be easybeats as they are finally coming good.
