2 goals against in the first minute

Twice!

WTF?

Then we smash them.

Is this a good omen?
Is it coincidence?
How has this happened?
Weird?

I was worried when it happened against Richmond and said to my son on Sunday this means we will smash them based on last week.

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!

1 week seems fair with the new rules and I think that is where it will settle. Its doesn't seem to matter that there was no intent or deliberate action, Paddy merely blocked Day but once the player goes out with concussion they will now act. You really have to get in low if you are going to bump now...

Re: Windhager

Hayes or Campbell replace Ryder, who does Higgins replace if there are no injuries? - Windhager - NWM - Long - Wood - Byrnes - Paton Who is likely sub? I think Byrnes goes out, perhaps Paton as sub (not going to hurt him having a break after returning from injury) and Higgins comes in. Most likely i...

Re: Windhager

Ideally you'd get 8-10 games into each of Windhager, Owens & NWM this season if they are tracking ok. I'd do a Terry Wallace & "spew my guts" if Hannebery or Geary play in front of these guys unless there is an absolute requirement. Billings, Jones & Clark are all easily starti...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Hawks Round 4 2022

Jones and Clarke are the only ones I would have back in that side. Billings? Sharman? A fit Hannebery? All three are in our best team I think. Billings definitely, Sharman I like but other than injury who does he displace? A fit Hannebery, I did have a chuckle at that one 😂 I’m not sure a fit Hanne...

I believe Pecketts young daughter Frankie shows a bit for AFLW but not sure any of his boys look the goods at this point in time.
Whereabouts is his daughter playing? Any good and how far away from being drafted?
Very young like 10 or 11 but very good, I may have gone early on that one 😉

Re: Langdon or Hill

What did Melbourne give up for Langdon? What did we give up for Hill? They left the same year right?! At the moment Langdon is A Grade and IMO the best Winger in the game Hill is at best B Grade and playing off HB because he struggled to get a kick on the wing!

If they’re in the best 22 yes But I’d have to think Geary would need a COVID outbreak in the team to be best 22 Dan would just need to be match fit (as unlikely as that is!)

Re: Saints injuries ahead of round 4.

Would Ratten actually consider playing Geary & Hannebery if they were fit?

Little doubt the pace of the game has ramped up a gear or two this season, I think both would battle with the tempo.

I like Geary as on field coach at Sandy and Dan can quietly and gracefully retire.

Re: Ben Patton

Big fan of Pato like most.

Smashing it in only 3 games back considering the severity of his injury.

Needs to play down back at the moment.

Looked lost against the Tigers on the wing and up the ground.
