Hmm well, I will be putting $100 on the Doggies to win by 40+ points, it will pay some of my bills at least...

The Doggies have a big marking target up front, which we don't. They have confidence to sweep the ball forward at high speed, which we don't. They will run ahead of the ball with confidence. We will continue to kick sideways and backwards, any slight error will get the ball back to a Dog who will ch...

not sure what the defensive coach sees in Dawson, I am no expert so I trust professional coaches to make the right call. But bloody hell, I worry when the ball goes near Zac. Look, at one stage...Lyon dropped Nick Dal for not being intense enough and not following team rules, wonder when Zac has his...

sorry St Michele, I thought you said you lived in Cooloongup or somewhere close...I am in Parmelia, I will go watch the next game that's not on free to air, hopefully there will be a few others there too...

Gee, how hard is it to handball to someone in space, already on the move? why keep h-balling high above your team-mate's head so he has to stop and jump up in the air ? WTF ??
glad I stayed home in Parmelia...

this has to be a major embarrassment for the NRL. I wonder if the board is hoping to send a message to all the clubs- "don't hide your dodgy books at the club or home !!" I seem to remember Carlscum giving jobs to players' wives...to put more money into their households, covertly. This sor...

Well...Caroline Wilson yet again shows she is not a sports journo, but rather a gossip columnist. I wonder how much of her stuff is actually true? Some of it would be speculation !! She appears to thrive on the sensational stuff, and the saucier, the better...she is a stirrer !!!

is anyone going to that place, St Michele says she sometimes goes there...
I might stay home and watch with my missus, but if there are some sainters going to the pub, I could be swayed ?

st michele wrote "we wol tbe"
lots of the young folk use acronyms such as LOL = laugh out loud

wol tbe means:
When Ordering Lollies, Try Buying Expensive

its a bit cryptic...

the aft broadcast guide shows its on radio on BIMA...what the f is BIMA? how come the other stations have their frequencies listed in the broadcast guide (e.g. ABC 720) ...

Moccha, I understand where you're coming from...
the Western Saints are in the debate by default, because some of the people at the venue are members; and yeah, we are free to go to any venue we like, even the Karalee...the manager had an issue and it is her problem.

I used to live in Girrawheen and went to the Greenwood tavern once or twice for a foxtel game, with 2 other sainters. No dramas there, supporters from the other team were there, nice atmosphere. But as I live in Rockingham now, I wont be travelling that far, hope to visit some pub much closer to Roc...

Underwater
F*llatio
Competition

gives a whole new dimension to "going down"

Do we at least get the game on the radio? I don't think so, unless by some miracle, the NIRS decides to broadcast the game...Adam Goodes plays for the Swans, the NIRS should therefore show some loyalty !

oops- I got ahead of myself, I was thinking Round One began tomorrow night...too keen obviously :-O

Peake is OK IMHO. one of the Nab cup games, when i saw the no 32, he looks just like James Trianidis !!

I noted some people weren't happy with the Karalee last Saturday night...
and as the Wet Toast game will be shown on Ten, is our game on Fox Sports, and where are the western saints going to watch it?

my eyes are not the best, and on TV, I got confused at times - looking at the players' backs- and I just thought it was me, but now I see other ppl had problems too, even those at the Etihad Pool ! good idea, change into white shorts at 1/2 time, pay a fine, would have been better !!!

Opposition coaches would see Kosi as a real threat, and put their second-best defender on him. They can't afford a part-timer on him, because then he will take 12 marks in a game and dominate. Thus he takes pressure off Roo. Simple really.

I wonder if Lyon has put too much belief in Dawson? to be our best option at full back. But not just Lyon, all the coaching staff, including the strength & fitness guys. The coaching panel sits down and examines each player in detail. I find it hard to believe those professionals could have got ...
