Dominated Aker (Brownlow Medalist) in the prelim

Dominated S Johnson (Norm Smith Medal Winner) in Grand Final.

Big game player is Bakes - gave 100% and was spent.

Many writ him off after his injuries/form in 2008. He proved us all wrong.

TAKE A BOW!

+1.

Shattering day, but this should make our club only stronger moving forward.

I can't wait to sign up for a membership in 2010 - anything but 35000+ members will be a failure.

Its time to get behind the boys, thank them for their efforts and move on...

NO CHANGE

It has been reported that match committee will only consider 3 players to bring in: Dempster, Geary and Hudghton.

Armitage nor Gwilt will play.

Defence wins premierships, and this weekend will not be different. Geelong have 3 match-winners who can end it in a quarter of good footy: Ablett, Chapman and S Johnson. Either three can kick 3-4 goals on a low scoring day. S Fisher is the key to the match I believe. If he takes Chapman out of the g...

The only time Kossi will be playing back is when we are up by 2 goals with 2 minutes to go - he dropped back there in the last 1-2minutes against the WB!

Mind you, he will have to kick 4-5 goals first...

Hi Mods, feel free to delete/move this post if there is already a thread. I'm sure everyone will be debating matchups all week long, and wont be able to concentrate at work/uni/home like me! Matchups from the R14 game @ Etithad are below [Geary and McEvoy are out from R14 and in from this weekends t...

Surely Dempster will get a game ahead of anyone else for Eddy! Dempster: He is a premiership player and has a wealth of finals experience (8 finals, including two GFs). He offers us some versatility - can tag or key down back to free up S Fisher up forward if needed (he is 192cm tall). I would be al...

I pray Minson plays. Under the pressure of a Home and Away game he's a disciplinary liability, so in the 'cook' of a prelim there's every chance he'll melt. Hope Kingy and Gardiner work him over. I hope Minson DOESN'T play - him missing screws up their whole midfield/fwd structure, and forces them ...

Can anyone remember who Zac played on the first time we played them? * Begins to watch the R6 game...The initial back 6 was: Dawson - Minson Blake - Hill S Fisher - Hahn Gilbert - B Johnson Baker - Aker Goddard LATER in 1st Q Gilbert then later took Hahn eagleton - Baker Hahn to Blake also (Gilbert...

MATCHUPS FROM LAST GAME (R17) - Zac didn't play (Max did) - http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/games/2009/071520090725.html Hahn-Blake B Johnson - Gilbert Aker - Baker Welsh - Hudghton R Murphy - S Fisher Welsh since then has been a roaming player, and has played in the backline at times. I expect D...

Every time, yes EVERY time, he gets the ball at half forward, he ALWAYS hits someone with his kicks. Its like he has been given Robert Harvey's kicking skills over 20-30, who was the master of well weighted chip kicks into space for the FWDS to lead into. There is a reason he so high in our goal ass...

Cheers Snippa - i know it seems a bit paranoid, but it seems that the AFL are cracking down on this...

Not sure what the AFL can do though?

Apologies for any trouble caused

Hey Snippa, go edit your post without the address, and ask people to PM you if they want it...

I live in Qatar and we are getting all 4 games this week live on showtime arabia - we usually get 2 games live each week but am pretty happy about them stepping up to the plate and showing all finals - that said I will be in the UK for the prelim and I am not happy that I wont be able to watch it l...

Agree totally. The fact that Goose hasn't been named,and the non Ben Cousins drafting have left me outraged I can't agree more Jonesy!!! To add fuel to the fire, I am disgusted that the saints didn't draft the Carroll from the Demons who got delisted, and instead drafted some Hack from Hawthorn (Da...

MY FINAL CHANGES:

In: M Gardiner, L Ball
Out: McEvoy, Eddy

Ball must be chomping at the bit to play finals - IT HAS BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE L BALL HAS PLAYED A FINAL!!! V Melbourne in GT's last game...

With Big Mac coming into the team, we are guarenteed to win this week!

11 games for 11 wins!

GO big ben!

Its seriously funny that some people on here are even contemplating having Blake in the ruck! ALL season, the saints have played with 2 established 200cm 100KG ruckman, with our midfield setups being based around having these ruckman in place. And now you want to throw Blake in there, a cornerstone ...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/83971/default.aspx M Gardiner unlikely, with RL talking about his options: "Ben McEvoy’s been going pretty well. You talk about bringing Max (Hudghton) in and do you ruck (Jason) Blake and have one ruckman? We’ve got a few options ther...

What do people think about Dempster taggin Didak this week. I think this could be his chance to shine...

Clinton Jones will tag Leon Davis.

Is a goal kicker, and wins the contested ball!!!
