Some first quarter indicators that will show we're on:

A critical early turnover and goal after noose closes on Pies who've been locked in their back half.

A trademark Hayes/Goddard shirtfront.

Evidence that we're happy to play through the loosely marked opponents of O'Brien or Maxwell.

An early Cloke miss.

Early supremacy in the air in front of goal.

Yep, pop a few into my cart also! ;)

I can't help but think that we're so much more prepared than the Pies! They must be somewhere in the vicinity of mental exhaustion right now!


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Tackling the key

Post: # 997257Post oh when »

A very strong gang tackle on the filth in the first minute of play.

Opening bounce. Gardi slaps a looping tap forward towards the corner of the centre square, Lenny streams forward, extends the right hand, the ball sticks magnet-like and almost in the same breath swerve-steps inboard, steadies and - despite the despairing air-clutching dive by Ball - drills a chest ball lace out to his captain who converts with a plumb strait drop punt. Meanwhile no one's noticed a former Saint hobbling ominously towards the interchange gates with his hand clutching a spot under his left buttock. Yes, it's vindictive, but f*** it. I want everything to go our way.


"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

One more would be Kossi wrapping his mits around the pill on the lead and going back from 50 and drilling it !!


Jack Newnes happy to be a Saint !!!! PS and to hit a target !!!
