wasn't worried against essendon, wasn't worried against the kangaroos.

but i am shitting myself right now. unbelievable. on form collingwood/bulldogs will kill us next week

disgraceful quarter.

jeez i hope we can refind form next week

any further updates anyone?

i tell you what Eddy would want to play well with Armo, Geary and Ball the 3 best on

No I actually prefer to remember and appreciate him for his football skills. His toughness and ability to lay a good fair bump WAS one of his football skills. Rather than always being nervous about putting their head over the ball because it's an opportunity for some gutless thug like a Barry Hall ...

how can you drop armo out of the entire squad! should at least be emergency surely, especially over Eddy.

Hopefully Max is precautionary for injury, not just a non-inclusion.

you seem pretty adamant mate, any particular reason? is he still injured?

hudghton in

shocking news. ridiculously young age to have your career ended, hopefully he had one set up outside footy.

okay being a bit boring here but Hayes and Riewoldt

if I had to chose an x-factor... i'll go grammy or schneider man

I can't believe this is even being discussed. The shirtfront is one of the greatest sights to behold on the footy field. Dealing them out is an art most of the time too. If a bloke puts himself in the postion to be cleaned up he's fair game, Saints player or not. It can change the game in an instan...

woudn't care. would be a bit embarrassing but ultimately irrelevant

if we lose our first final however...

If Riewoldt is better than Hayes, it's not by much imo.

We are a 2 man team but with a supporting cast still capable of beating every team.

I hope the Saints are at last over recruiting duds from other clubs,if they are,then Robbo has no hope...... just like his album..... Duds like Gardiner, King, Dawson, Ray, Schneider and Dempster all of whom have been an integral part of our best ever home and away season? If those guys are duds I'...

jesus christ there are some sickeningly terrible selections there (in the 3AW teams that is).

I reckon personally we've got 6 certs and Fish and off chance to sneak into CHB just cause there's been no real standout there this year.

Clearly Zac if he counts. I remember when we recruited him I was absolutely spewing, thought he was a complete hack who'd be delisted at years end without a game. I'll second McQualter or Jones . Probably McQualter because Jones at least held his spot last year and showed some good signs, McQualter ...

Does that include Jack?

for a first game young player, he was very good.

in the greater scheme of things though his efficiency wasn't great and he still missed some targets like everyone else

yeah personally for me 1st quarter when it occurred to me that all the hallmarks of what made our team great were still there even if the polish and skills of our gun players were not.

when schneider man slotted one from the boundary I felt pretty sure we were set for a good day.

Goldstein will s*** it in

but Big Ben was absolutely awesome imo, was shocked when I got home that his stats were so unimpressive.

what... the... f*** unbelievable thread. a) I was at the ground mate, and Ball was best on ground in my opinion. Undeniably he was in the top handful of players out there b) he missed targets, so what. there was not a player out there who could be happy with their disposal, it was the only sour note...

could have some great ins this week, getting close to being back to full strength

haha not at all mate, but it definitely seems a lot less friendly up that way for saints fans! maybe they can just sense I'm a southerner

Wow Tassie jones, you really like Boyd huh?? Don't rate him mate? Will probably win the best and fairest in the 3rd placed team, averaging 28 odd touches a game. So yeah I'm a fan, had an outstanding year and should get the gig. I think you missed the point TJ. haha damn :oops: one of those boyds i...

yeah I reckon we're a good chance to outnumber them. I get the feeling support is stronger for the hawks up around Launny, but down south I'd say there's a lot more Saints around than Hawks. Probs a fair few sainters on the nw coast cause of the Doc as well. will definitely be a big crowd as well (f...
