Who the f#&k is Burnes? No one on saints lists by that name.

I agree with your ins though.
Spot on, everyone knows it's Byrbes FFS :roll: :roll: :roll:
You really are the pits.

But you just confirmed something I suspected.

Midfield has being doing well. The height of Essendon may hurt us. I still think though that Essendon aren’t as good as the ladder shows.

Dow doesn’t really do it for me. I prefer Garcia to go into the Henry role.
As I predicted earlier in the week. Bonner is the last player named on the interchange bench and will therefore probably be the sub. Garcia takes on Henry's role. Caminiti will play mostly down back, but also take on a bit of ruckwork, allowing Marshall to go forward a bit more often like he did against Port and the Swans.

I still don't get why anyone would be clamouring for Dow to come back into the firsts. He looks to me like another one of those players who are too good for VFL but can't quite cut it at AFL level.

They're not. Nor are Carlton, as we saw last night. The Swans, Lions and possibly the Cats are the teams to beat IMO. The Dockers are also clearly on the way up, but I doubt that they are capable of winning a flag this year. Port and GWS will most likely disappoint their fans as per usual.

They name the bench in the order of their jumper numbers.

Well there you go. Another thing I didn't know. I still reckon Bonner should be the sub.

Reckon we’re a big big chance today, bombers on the skids and we’ve found a bit of connection the past 3 weeks. Shame Henry and Pou out - I reckon we’d almost be favourites with them in
