22 scoring shots to 20. They were on top for extended bits if the first half. Missed many chances Overlap play Good in the jungle Looked dangerous across the center Played tempo footy from the back I thought they were decent kicked poorly They had a couple of goals gifted by umps and we ran in a fe...

I saw quite a few frees missed both ways, however, it's usually those steering the match who get the most free kicks from what I generally see and as much as me swearing every-time I saw a shocker missed regarding us, they were not the only things that took the 4 points away.

Not crushed - the end result was not embarrassing - lots of things were iffy but even the leadership of Steel would have made the difference. Lot's of lessons for the players, lots of info for the coaches. Still sitting number 1 on the ladder after 5 rounds. Never would have expected that before the...

Members did the pre-season training for the new game plan, and although he may take some time to fit in completely, I have the confidence he'll find a way of contributing.

Better kickers added to the list is notable, but confidence is everything

Recon, Rekon or reckon. I knew what he meant FFS

I think most of saw and stated that players last year (and previously) were not giving what is referred to as 110% and often discussed the poor development of new players, both kids and pick-ups. Also we complained about players skill improvement looked pretty much non-existent - and it wasn't until...

I predict that I'm going to enjoy the ride this year much more than I expected

We don't do rules any more.
Everything now is based on the vibe.

Carlton have a lot more supporters (and money) than North so their vibe is stronger.

Clarko now has experience of being on both ends of that now

In the 150th year. Imagine that. I've gotta say, my nuts just tingled a bit when I wrote that. Stick with it. Let's make it a thing. Somehow, watching the Pies get beaten last night made the idea seem faintly possible for the very first time. I mean, why the heck not? Our midfield is ok when at ful...

Whatever will be will be this season but I’m very bullish about our fortunes going forward. Remember when we bemoaned the fact we had very little in the way of decent young players? Fast forward to now, we have about a dozen aged between 18 & 21! Doubt all will make it but with the development ...

great article and great photo

I understand it's 8 games in 3 days on Adelaide Oval and we play in the last one - Hope the turf survives.

Thanks heaps - I was wondering what happened

So far, so good! The coaching has helped to restore some belief in the players who were struggling last year. Would love to see the likes of Billings and Jones also respond accordingly, after they come back from injury. Pretty sure they'll already know that. So they'll have to train the house down ...

Didn’t notice the injury at the game, when did it happen?

RL said post game said " ... Jimmy is definitely out and Mason will be assessed tomorrow" (today)

Bloody amazing and really needed, and his interview on 7 post game gives me heart that he'll be just as good when he returns. Time for a few others to step up to the podium.

Just got to keep the pressure Forward line looks a little kick n hope just hope Higgins keeps kicking straight At game and honestly Gresham just runs in circles abd kicks mongrels off his foot ….he’s got to get done composure Owens trying hard Wood good Agree with all - Gresh really seems out of so...

Great memories on the 150 wall an I get the importance of the 150th as an important milestone for the club and we are not expecting a Grand Final presence this year. However I reckon we could 'get' the jabbers if there isn't too much of a distraction involving the players before the game - why can't...

I'm not saying we shouldn't get excited about the young guys getting a game but let's give the kid at least one full season before we go mentioning his name in the same sentences as Lockett? How do you think this thread got this far? With rational and balanced posts? This is Saintsational Yes it is...
