I find this a bit wierd.

I was too nervous yesterday to even eat lunch yet Ross is out house hunting on one of the biggest days in our clubs history.

I think he over analysed the match ups and tried to think too much outside the square. Blake should have gone to Roughead from the outset and CJ should have gone to Rioli. Our midfield looked better over the last 6 weeks with the additions of Gram and Goddard into the middle with Fisher providing th...

1430- Board Tiger flight at Canberra Airport 1530- Arrive Tullarmarine 1800- Start making me way to the G 1930- Break out in a sweat and abuse some Hawthorn supporters. 2110- Sing the song at the top of my voice 2130- Have celebratory beer at Swan Hotel 0430- Sing the song again even louder but less...

M15 Row Q.....is this a saints area??

I think the match ups should be as follows: Buddy- Max (A), Fisher (B), Gilbert (C)....I am hoping we only need plan A. Roughy- Blake. Williams- Gilbert. If he is carving us up early like he did in Rd 16, moving Max on to him would be an option. Cyril- CJ. Same job as last week for CJ. Make him hurt...

I would love a Bar code if someone can't make it to the game for some reason.

My wife and I are coming down from Canberra and I am so close to converting her into a saints supporter (and breaking her three generational Bulldogs obsession) that this one code could clinch the deal.

Thanks

Out: Eddy Allen
In: Ball G Train

Why not?? He will at least give the short Hawthorn backs something to think about and create a contest for Milne and Schneids to crumb off.

If he can kick 2-3, its a massive bonus.....and is training well by all reports

I think Blake has declared himself fit. There was a post earlier saying it was just a jarred wrist.

That is why I am trying to think of a way to free up Kosi from his ruck duties...to give us another option. Against Geelong in the NAB cup he looked ominous as the forward target but hasn't looked likely since. I think the reason for this is that he is always shagged when he runs back into the forwa...

* Play M Gardiner to allow Kosi a decent crack at FF. This season he has alway looked deflated in the forward 50 from having to run 150m from the back half to get to the contest. He is a power forward that relies on energy to get the ball. * Ensure Roo and Kosi lead away from each other. Too many ti...

its been a great day then, with that and lenny getting off.

Its a pity that Bally didnt win most courageous and Roo best captain but you cant win them all.

Apart from the going to ground and spilling the grab turnover, Raph was good. Gave us run through the middle and stood amongst the poor performances of others.

I hope he has turned the corner.

He is very unlikely for next week.

This is going to stretch the backline ever further.

Lovely touch between Harves and Scarlett???? Bruce you are an idiot

I saw it too....it looked like Harves said to Mackie something like "F#@king weak as piss" in reference to Scarlett.

I agree that Gwilt is the key up forward.

I think we have under estimated the effect that Hamill's retirement has had on our forward line over the last few years and if Gwilt can step up and be the dangerous third tall it will take a lot of pressure off Roo and Kosi.

With our current line up, Collingwood look a challenge to match up on due to the depth of quality small forwards that they have at their disposal and our lack of quick, small defenders. Thomas, Didak and Davis in particular are the major concern and they expose a weakness that West Coast and others ...

Fev is pretty quick also

Yeah it was sweet....most of the classes were practical in which we would train or go to the gym. We had about three class room sessions a week where we would go through our tactics etc or study for our level 1 coaching course and sports managment course.....GOLD

I went to Palm Beach Currumbin High School and was in the Innaugral Sports Excellence program squad. It is good to see the program is still producing quality footballers like Sam.

I must say those where the days. Studying football as a subject, a great deal more interesting than chemistry.

Going in as named....no Dal

Addison will tag Dal Santo while Boyd will play a defensive HFF role on Gram. I suggest playing Birss on Gilbee, C Jones on Griffen and run Ball head to head with Cooney and likewise with Hayes and Cross. This may prove dangerous so it might be worth bringing in L Fisher on to the bench to add redun...

Ferguson didnt do well as a CHB.....he has played about 3 or 4 games in the last 4 years and has been towelled up numerous times, Ken Mcgregor in the 05 Qualifying final being the most notable. James Gwilt has lost a lot of weight since last year in an attempt to improve his running. He is not the k...

Best post, I have read on this site in 6 years. I found myself relating perfectly to about 20 points you made. I think a lot of us will.

I think Grumpy One was the bloke sitting in front of you!!

if Hawthorn can make it work with Roughhead, Buddy and Boyle then we can as well. I think Ross and his team should watch the Hawthorn vs Melbourne and Fremantle tapes and see how they structure their front half and create space for the 3 big men to operate in. They seem to use their crummers in Riol...
