Great effort disposal poor. LIke many others on the list. Might be a chance next game given our form.

Given Freeman has played exactly zero AFL senior games how on earth could he be in anyone's best 22?

I hope he comes good but really we've no idea just how good (or otherwise) he could be.

Spoke to Coburgs ruckman on Monday and asked him about our boys. He said that Billings was basically taking the piss against them and he is a absolute jet. Then he should feel free to roll out said jetness a bit more often in the senior side, instead of running around at half ratpower with no air o...

(one should be The Milne end - he has kicked the most goals at Docklands)

No longer true ... Nick R holds that honour now.

We want whichever one we didn't get!!!!!!!!!! (stomps feet)

Didn't we not get all but Carlisle and Gresham? We didn't have than many picks for all the rest ...

Quite right, the choice was made, and we have to live with it. Only time will tell if it was a good choice, like all trades and draft picks. No point moaning about it now, it's a done deal and has been since trade week last year. Carlisle can play, and should bolster our out-sized defence next year ...

Having said that, if he feels it's time to pass the baton on to someone else, then so be it......do it!

+1

5. Steven
4. Hickey
3. Membrey
2. Ross
1. Savage.

Unlucky:
Gilbert
Geary

Over-rated:
Webster
Roberton

Quite a few frees missed for both sides, but overall I thought the unpiring was pretty good.

The Ex-Carlton umpire was no worse than the other 2.

IMO of course

Ignore the spin ... if it is on 90 minute delay it's not live.

IMO Cripps is better than the Bont, who is currently in front of Billings. But all 3 will be quality players for some years.

I'd like to have all 3 ...

A very sad shock indeed. RIP Tom, you were a true Saints gentleman. My condolences to his family and friends.

Wright is a worse kick than Geary, which makes him diabolical by foot!

Mine said Monday & Tuesday next week. Looks like they are staggering the sales demand.

A bit of a junket, yes, but not organized by me. I'm nowhere near well enough connected for that!

I wasn't tongue tied ... we really were getting coffee and they were just leaving.

Richo was there but I didn't get a chance for a chat .... my conference finished today so I'm not there now.

Jeez Bratty I can't top that! I had a brief conversation with Armo ... 'Armo, is the coffee queue right here?' 'Yeah mate it is' 'Thanks' Not all that exciting in the re-telling is it ... And I also had a short chat with one of the coaches who I didn't recognise who assured me Freeman's hammies woul...

So I arrived at Twin Waters on the Sunshine Coast for a work conference on Monday and blow me down! It's wall to wall Saints up here! Every time I ran into a Saint he was on his way for more training!

Maric is no world beater, but he beat Longer like a rented mule. I'd be inclined to give Hickey a run as No 1 ruckman. AT least he offers an offensive threat occasionally, and can actually move around the ground.

Gilbo had a mixed bag of a game; many good things and 1%ers, but several costly turnovers. In that regard he wasn't alone; we kicked as poorly as I can remember, and given we are pretty ordinary with the ball in general that's a big call. Yet IMO he is in our best side for the many good things he do...

I want to win every game, although I hope I'm realistic enough to know we won't. I expected 5-7 wins this year so I think we're on track for that. Basically, wins before picks is my mantra.

Soft ... I reckon you could bounce a coin on those globes ... or park a bike between them!

You are absolutely correct on that one. I was there on the day. Fantastic match actually. Well, we won didn't we. Would have absolutely hated it if the cats had won though. I would have been disappointed to lose it, I thought we were slightly the better team on the day, but it was such a great matc...

Its amazing how people forget 2009. I loved our footy back then. One of the best home and away games I have seen was in 2009 and most games were great to watch. The absolute best H&A game I've ever been to was R14 2009 - St Kilda v Geelong at Etihad. That game was pulsating from start to finish...
