Still not at all confident for this one. On paper we belt them by a fair margin. Though after our game against them early last year, I'm never confident when it comes to the Saints.

Found it funny however how the Saints are celebrating 140 years. Celebrating 140 years of what? Close but no cigar? More tragedy than a work of Shakespeare?

Hopefully the game fits their 140 years then.

Read an interesting article in the record last week though - it was suggested that the Saints have been more into celebrating individuals than collective teams - e.g Winmar, Robert Harvey, Plugger, Barker. Probably more to do with a lack of success that they've celebrated individuals...they've had some rippers.

Speaking of which, beware Nick Riewoldt. In brilliant form at the moment.

They're shit !

I've watched their games.... They're just terrible affairs.

Their best is nowhere near ours.


Kill them!

Why do I get the feeling all this 'they're shit, we'll smash them' talk is just setting us all up for a week of 'we're shit, we should have smashed them' even after a handy 4-5 goal win on Monday night (or heaven forbid even a loss)?

If we don't smash them then it will be the fault of the footy manager and lucas

Actually I was having dinner this morning and got talking to myself and decided that for the good of the club, the players and the supporters we need to smash this drech by 100+ points ala princess park 1977 style and build a real belief that we are carlton and this time we really are coming.

Any win against the Saints is a mental step forward.

I'd love to but we're nowhere near our best.
We're still treading water IMO. Even though we were beaten in the first three games, I thought our performances were reasonable. We havent made a lot of inroads since then.
Our kickouts are improving but we're still average in the stoppages.
We're also being cut up with our zone. West Coast scored 3 of their 7 goals from kickouts! We're fortunate they kicked atrociously.

If we look at the information from the games and not just the final scoreboard, we'll see we have a lot of work to do and a lot of improvement to come.
If we want to beat shit teams easily, we'll need to source that improvement promptly.

As I said, a 1 point win would do me at the moment.

Cool. I'm the opposite. I could eat breakfast all day.

Blues by 37....which I think is the number of ex-Carlton players listed on the Saints jumper Monday night.
