I wouldn't think that would be enough.
Saints are shitful and ran out of gas in the last half.
We won't get that opportunity v the Pies.
We'd need everyone else to play much much better.
Even then I can't see us winning,

Yes - hoping of course for a win, but I'll settle for a fiercely contested honorable loss.

Woohoo we won !!!
I'm not getting too excited though, some of the things I saw in the 1st half were really embarrassing still.
We don't handle pressure well, and we don't apply enough of it ourselves. IMO the best way to reduce the pressure on yourself, is to up the pressure on your opponent. I'm not sure our guys have figured that out yet.
Cripps is a ripper, he looked way better that Murph today in my eyes. Besides his extraction work, he can take a really good grab up forward. But what I liked the most about him was his response after his goal today. He let out an almighty roar, and then about 3 more as he ran back to the centre square. To me it demonstrated great motivation and leadership. Great to see from a young kid !!
I like that Boekhurst is there for his run, but he is not afraid to get involved around stoppages. He is not just an outside runner.
I love what Bell offers, and he was well rewarded yesterday. We all know his weaknesses but i think the positives outweigh the negatives for him.
Hendo, keep him forward, with better midfield intensity and delivery he will provide a good target. Heaven knows we need him as the other 2(Jones & Casboult), do not offer enough in the F50.

C Judd will be a fair addition to that side.

Did anyone else notice that Bell's disposal efficiency was 100% and that he made no critical errors? Of course, he also kicked 4 goals, had a hand in two others and threw his weight around.
That won't stop some folk calling for him to be dropped and/or traded :

He had a great game.
Love to see Tommy start to use his bulk to protect Murph at the stoppages. Only needs a couple of impacts to teach blokes to lay off Murph.

If he continues to do that certainly not, but that was the exception, not the rule.

The win, as ugly as it may have been, might create some belief. Players run a bit harder, they're a bit more resilient, etc and you then never know what happens.
We'll probably get spanked but we can dream

He was starting to show some good signs last year before he hurt his finger, If he get's a clear run at it this year I think we'll see him develop both in confidence and composure.
