Round One 2020...dead Sunday slot (DSL)..could it work in our favour?

Post: # 1836046Post shanegrambeau »

So it's Sunday, and West Coast will flog Melbourne and we are playing in "cobweb corner" again at Marvelous Stadium. Do you think this slot will help us? Do you think both North and StKilda deserve this VFA hour and so it's even stevens? Pardon any pun. I am absolutely thinking it will favor us on the basis that we will be the under dogs and the darkest hour is our chance to strike!


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

According to herald Sun which talks about possible tribute to Danny Crawley. Round 2 is saints first home game against West Coast

Tough match - North have beaten us easily for eight years, and if anything look even stronger next year.
I don't know if North deserve this time slot, but we certainly do.
Think Good Friday match, Anzac Day in Wellington, all of the Pride matches and the match in China.
We have been ill-prepared for all of these matches and how a lot of the coaches and assistants survived for so long is beyond me. Based on any measure the team often don't turn up for important matches.

It depends.

Does anyone know what the midday movie will be on Channel 9?

Yes, it is the one where Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus Christ.

Are you trying to tell me something, Kells?

Best seasons in my living memory were all years where we weren't expected to challenge, or weren't even in a realm of contention - 1997 - from stone motherless last to top dog in 17 rounds, 2004 - win first ten matches of the season by record margins, 2009 - win 19 matches in row and 22 matches in the season.

To replicate these results we lack at least one elite midfielder at this stage, and the club are hoping that King can step up and become our full-forward straight away. Probably not in 2020.
