Kick it to the forward's chest, don't sit it up above his head where the defender can easily spoil.

It'd really help if we could hit a target inside 50.

Stagnation is decline in the AFL. We need to take a risk and try something new in an attempt to find the improvement required to win the flag. So why did we start 2011 with the same players and the same game plan that didn't deliver in 2009 and 2010? Why not inject some youth into the team? Why not ...

Hard to kick a winning score with a 3 man forward line of Roo, Gamble and Milne with everybody else pushing up the ground.

Interestingly the URL indicates that Sydney and Carlton players might be next, yet that's barely touched upon in the article.

Most players pack on the weight after they retire, but Sammy looked in great nick tonight in the pool. Can we get him back on a HFF?

I think members need to write to Mr Westaway and start to demand a premiership instead of all being very happy that we got this far and got a draw and could of won rubbish. Get stuck into the leadership of this club and demand it, demand a premiership! If only we'd written letters after the 2009 GF...

I'd take Rich and Clarke straight up over pick 4 and some WC muppet. However the Lions would want a far better return that Raph and Armo if they are to give up Rich and Clarke.

I'm assuming your membership barcode as the ballot registration number is no longer relevant.

Or maybe just stop kicking it directly to him?

Absolutely. He's not far off the great ones as it is, and captaining a premiership side would elevate him right to the top.

What about CJ to Pendlebury and Dempster to Didak? Dempster has performed well in his shutdown roles so far this finals series.

As fans, we were happy just to make the Grand Final last year, so we all celebrated wildly after the Prelim Final win. However the bitter pill of last year's defeat has changed thing. Now a Grand Final appearance isn't nearly enough, only a premiership will satisfy our hunger. That's why we've taken...

Clever of Big Mac to run 30m to get within range and make sure of it.

There is only one player in the AFL capable of stopping Riewoldt and that's Kosi!

5. Riewoldt
4. Goddard
3. Dawson
2. Schneider
1. Gardiner

It was the 7 goals to the Saints in the 3rd quarter that cost them dearly. FFS!

Get used to it. That 2 hours on the ABC is just a preview of the week ahead. By the weekend people will be wondering who the other team is in the GF because they'll have heard nothing but Collingwood all week. That suits us fine though. Let the media pump up then Pies and we'll stay in our bubble an...

If we can't find anybody, I'll happily step up and do the job.

Could you imagine being a Saints fan and getting the opportunity to hand the premiership cup to Ross and Roo? Wow!

Surely one of the first pre-requisites for being a sports journalist is to know the players' names. That article was just amateur hour.

In: Collingwood
Out: Geelong (heart)

The Saints will go in unchanged unless somebody pulls up sore from the prelim.

Roo was on the ground and did reach out and trip the Doggies player. The umpire paid the free kick against Roo for a trip. Hopefully that's the end of it.

Steady Eddy was fantastic tonight. I loved his attack on the football and he made good decisions with the ball when he won it. He's a definite for next week.

I was so scared I saw my life flash before my eyes. But boy did he turn it on once he picked himself up.

No surprise to see Hahn come back in, but I honestly thought it would be for Morris. Roo just has to get on his bike, like he did against Taylor, to expose Morris's lack of match time. Without Baker, I expect to see Dempster go to Giansiracusa and shut him down as he did against Stevie Johnson last ...
