I don't think the Johnno factor will be big enough to get them over the line, bottom line is if we plan well and play to our strengths we should win it in a more easier fashion than last year, let's face it Hawthorn didn't show much sympathy to Harvs in 2008 did they. If we are fair dinkum and good ...

Geelong for me please.

Fremantle

Don't panic ----- yet, I remember belting Essendon in round 22 2008 by over 100 points to clinch 4th spot only to get belted by Geelong in the first final by 10 goals so all this momentum talk is really just crap. If we have our best side in and come with the right attitude to work hard enough we wi...

Apologies if this has been mentioned before but I couldn't see it anywhere. Apparentley is coming back to melbourne, any thoughts on having him join us as an assistant coach, was there anything in Greg Hutchinson & Laidley having a good old chat before last weeks game ??? Personally I think he c...

Playing collingwood in the granny and us NOT wearing our traditional strip !!!!!!!! Imagine if we won, our captain holding up the cup but not in our traditonal strip ( poor baldock still has nightmares about holding up the holy grail in '66 in a collingwood jumper ), although this time would be in o...

This is true, but they seemed to turn arouind at a function when bomber said they can go either one of two ways, unfortunately for us we know how it ended up, the disappointment for me tonight was this kind of performance coming off our Hall of Fame function, if this couldn't or can't inspire the te...

Would make interesting listening after an ordinary few weeks

I hope Ross doesn't sugar coat this.

Any one know why Elshaug quit without notice ?? Is Brian Royal doing that role now ???

I think collingwood have gone small in the forward line in the hope of replicating what carlton did to us ealier this year when their small forwards turned us inside out. They don't have the talent to do that, but it seems clear that"s what they will be trying to do, they can't beat us any othe...

Give it up Robbo, we voluntarily told the AFL our books were open for investigation, besides even if by some remote chance we were guilty during the Waldron era what was the AFL going to do " strip us of our 1966 premiership" !!!!!!!!!!!!! The recent media events of trying to undermine St....

I think Zac would be in trouble, definately way off last years form, two things with Zac this year, definately lighter and with Max and Goose gone perhaps has got himself in a bit of a comfort zone so maybe a couple of weeks out might just jolt him back into thinking he is not as safe as he thinks h...

From memory, usual standard line of not talking to Luke specifically about that but would talk to him through the course of the week about usual tactics but nothing specific because it was st.kilda.

But of course he will use Luke you can back it in.

In my opinion Roo shanks alot more kicks than Carey and Brown because Roo covers alot more of the ground and runs himself ragged to get to the contest, then he tries to kick the goal and I reckon he is knackered and his legs must feel heavy at times, anyway just my thoughts on why Roo shanks alot mo...

How much influence will Ball's intimate knowledge of our midfield be to collingwood on friday night and will lyon change things up a bit because of it or just go with our tried and true method ?? Just thought I would throw it up as it was already mentioned at malthouse's press conference. Also on on...

Hey Ralphy. I joined your league today - Tassie Saints, can someone tell me why I still have a green icon next to my name and the others haven't, what am I doing wrong ? sorry for being a bit naive on these things, first time i've done this and am really looking forward to it, beats just tipping eve...

I will be dirty if Geary doesn't play, he is a tough in and under player and we will need this type especially against the swans.

The only thing that worries me about Kosi is something Ross said during saturdays telecast, that being Kosi is at CHF to put some miles into his legs, isn't that what Pre season is for ??? Has Kosi had an injury that has prevented him from running, does anybody know ??? It's a bit of a worry so clos...
