Nice to be back. I stay away off season as this place can be a nightmare. Also just had another little sainter so been a bit preoccupied.

Piss poor umpiring there leads to another gc goal. 47-38 now.

Suns with the first of the second half.

47-32

Perfect low pass from Gilbert to roo. Misses but it was a tough chance.

20 points up. 46-26

Just love Maister's workrate and 1%-ers. On his game to date, Kosi is no chance to displace him. He would displace hickey if anyone, that's more who kosi has lost his spot to Maybe. But if Scott Watters is saying kosi is a chance of losing his spot pre season (which he did), I'd be leaning towards ...

Love the look of hickey early too. He's got a good pair of hands. What I meant dead air is nothing but criwd noise for about thirty seconds after goals. I don't know why I hate it. You don't have to listen to the commentators Nd it's sort of like being at the game. But for done reason I do. I'm a st...

Does anyone else hate the dead air (if watching on fox)?

It beats listening to Bristle

Good point.

Where are all the negative numpties now? Let's push that submit button a third time I love the new site but that's one thing that annoys me. Much better second quarter. Think we were just rusty and lazy in the first (probably a little shell shocked given the start the suns had too) More of this typ...

Good point. I'd forgotten about that last year.

Early days still but the signs aren't good. We look really flat. Our defence is terribly inexperienced.

As i recall the same thing happened in 2006 and we had a 15 game membership that year.

Well I've got to say that is miles better than I expected upon learning we had six interstate plus nz plus Geelong. The spread is terrific, ensuring we have no back to back travel - and in addition we only have one back to back six day break. A multitude of night/twilight games as usual which doesn'...

Haven't been on for a while but I can confirm the following: 1/ 11 games at Etihad ( 8 home games) 2/ 3 games at mcg ( 2 home games ) 3/ 6 games interstate 4/ 1 game in New Zealand v Sydney (home game) 5/ Geelong away at Simmonds stadium as a night game Saturday July 27 th 6/ final game of season v...

I see this game as a real CHALLENGE for everyone connected with the club; The team need to win the BIG games at the BIG stadiums against the BIG clubs The club needs to REALLY SELL games like this The supporters really need to SUPPORT the club at these games !! Its a great opportunity for the club ...

I will take that if it is true. Interesting that we won't play a home game at Etihad until (presumably) round six though.

Two days until the release (apparently - ) and no further word than what we already know.

Granted, there's a lot of news about our fixture so far but we can only speculate on the rest.

Still not even a mention about it being released to the clubs so far - or is that tomorrow?

I'm looking at it from a positive perspective. Assuming we get six or seven interstate trips (any more is too much - in fact even seven is too much in my opinion) this leaves only another three or possibly FOUR more after round five. Which means in our last seventeen games, at least thirteen will be...

We are playing GWS in round three at manuka oval. Apparently will be the first night match played there (well twilight anyway)

So we know
GWS - 3
Essendon - 4
Sydney - 5
Carlton - 7

More likely to be at the MCG and a Bombers home match.

I hope so - only played them once at the MCG in the last ten years - that's deplorable!

lol good to see bobs full of confidence blimey if we dont win a flag before 2029 there is something seriously wrong :shock: but knowing our history its possible we wont scarey :!: That will make it 63 years.

Interesting. Everything the club is doing lately smacks of desperation. This could be quite awkward. it must be noted this is NOT a club publication- it's AFL and had a discussion with someone from the club recently about the difficulties they face when independants make selections last year was Za...

Final Score
StK 5.7.37
Fre 6.2.38

That's an insane scoreline.

No way will they kick six goal against us.
