I like that there might be a bit of reckless about the boys come September, no second chances, no burden of expectation this time. :D Reckless is good. ^ this, i think, is our greatest hope / advantage (been there before, know what the pain of the ultimate loss is, caution gets thrown to the wind i...

i think he calls it like he sees it. i like him on FC, you don't want a guy that just talks up the saints everytime he's asked, has some definite opinions and sticks to them.

plus he hates the umpires, can't fault that.

i take sheahans's "courteous / immovable" line as a nod to roo that he understands why his requests are being knocked back. maybe sheahan is hoping to soften roo up for the next request. can't see it working though.

not much else to do down in geelong

didn't think they'd go with geary (picked lynch myself) but am happy they have. i suspect it was influenced by the crows smaller forward line.


johncock playing too, was hoping he'd miss given how good he was (by all accounts) in the first quarter against the dons, hopefully he's still pretty sore

out: gwilt

in: lynch

agreed, i'll look again after round 21 to see how many of syd / north / carlton we need to beat to make 8th or 7th or 6th

i got a sammy fisher match worn jumper back in 2005 or 06, before he was B&F, at a high school trivia night - auctioned off for $120. signed by him and harvs and joey and about 10 others, sadly no roo or g-train.

27,777

crows support is shite (28,708 last time at docklands)

centrebet has the line at -39.5, may be worth a shot (based on the oracle's infinite wisdom)

wouldn't mind if gws signed up these trolls...

because it's the closest thing to a religion that i have and you know how the topic of "which team do you support" comes up almost anytime you spend a small amount of time with someone? i like being able to say that i actually support the saints by being a member rather than just 'followin...

BEAT THESE GUYS

referring to the OP, i generally agree except feel it's unlikely that geary will come in. although it does make sense given their smallish forward line (other than tippett). i reckon they will bring blake back, he was actually playing pretty well before dempster heat butted blake's knee. has blake h...

windley at the hun has us winning 6 of the last 7 (obv losing to the filth) and finishing 6th. just a bit too ambitious i think - unlikely that we will beat all of sydney, freo and carlton...

yeah, but if i was on the jury i'd want to see him up there denying it.

Just did a ladder predictor and had us 8th by a game even with loses to Collingwood, Sydney and Carlton. A win against Sydney or Carlton would push us up to 6th. I had Freo dropping out of the 8 down to 12th without winning a game. They really have a tough run home. i've done that the last few roun...

i think the biggest factor will be the forward line we are playing against. i'd liek to see lynch come back in but i'm also keen for walsh. will anyone else miss to allow both in?

I want him to do some weights. He is a serious wuss. Skilful and creative though. Handy for a nothing pick. Myself and some mates were wondering how he turned into a skinny redhead kid over the off-season. We swear he was bigger! it's those horizontal stripes of the cats jumper, they add 10 kg. cha...

4th? I'll be ecstatic if we can somehow fluke 6th and a home final, top 8 is assured if we can win one of sydney or carlton and we beat the others below us. i fancy the game against sydney.
