Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2018
Funny how every other stadium hasn't got a roof and no one complains about a star that's been there for billions of years.
Let's hope someone has told Richardson that there's no off-sude rule in Australian Rules.

That's because every stadium without a roof is aligned correctly so as to minimise the issue.Bruce G McAbee wrote:Funny how every other stadium hasn't got a roof and no one complains about a star that's been there for billions of years.

They didn't bother to do that at docklands stadium, because...it has a roof!

Teally Geeling is north south like Etihad, so was Moorabbin and Waverley. The only two that were east west was the MCG and Princes Park.satchmo wrote:That's because every stadium without a roof is aligned correctly so as to minimise the issue.Bruce G McAbee wrote:Funny how every other stadium hasn't got a roof and no one complains about a star that's been there for billions of years.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2018
We are looking better than any performance so far this year
Structure is there and we have players to kick to forward of the ball

Coffield is an absolute gun.
So clean. So quick. Good size.
Look out.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2018
Reasonable start
Billings miss for goal was very frustrating
Coff long gresh Jake white have been pretty good and Weller has made a reasonable star

Coffield looks a player.. Billings... not much more needs to be said to be honest. Good to see Dicko is making a difference down there

Re: Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2018
Great to sees some tough tackling pressure, Coffield has all the makings to be a star, white really having a crack. Can’t afford to drop any pressure. And Long showing a bit, good on him.
