I saw him play his first game. His display set the footy world on fire. He just crashed the packs and took a couple of screamers. Kicking was a bit off line and he had his own way of dropping the ball point-end on to his boot.
Really good to see old and new mates rallying around.

Was heavily tagged as evident in the free that gave him a goal.

Probably will have surgery at seasons end.

I just hope she continues to win and to flaunt our colours all around the world. I get sick of seeing Filth and Bummers shirts at almost every turn.

Cotton wool for Gardiner? Do not like it at this stage.
If he is being nursed along then the real test will be flat out in a final.
Meanwhile young McEvoy will benefit.

After reading all this intelligence I get to wondering if we are overloaded. Wish I could find that crystal ball of mine, or visit a fortune teller who could tell me who are the ones to really click into gear.

Correct.

Looks as if I have to put you guys right again. You should know where The Guppy learned the finer points of the game and sports journalism:-

The Manangatang Thirds !!

Tony Walsh used to sit beside Danny Frawley in the Tigers' box when Danny was coach. Not sue what his function was- seemed to be occupied with player stats . Somehow he does not enthuse me.

Yes Lenny I relate to all you say. The psycho factor plays a huge part. As I said somewhere on this forum a few weeks ago the opposition teams are starting to use our plan of success against us and we do not like it and are falling in to error and disbelief. The question I want an answer to is- 'How...

It's hard-- and we have had to say that many times past-- but Maxie is a potential liability at times. He seems to get trapped in the goal mouth too often. Gone are the clearing dashes and great spoils of the past.

Have wondered for years why the Club has not struck a letterhead for domestic use That logo of ours would look great. The AFL would have to approve (and would want to do it for all clubs) and it would be printed in you-know-where.
How about it Mr Demetriou?

It could well transpire (a long way ahead) that St Kilda is setting a pattern for other clubs to mimic in future years. Already there is clear evidence that some are trying to, or have, copied our game style. Now this idea of resting certain players will be copied as well by clubs certain, repeat ce...

Hoping he turns in a sizzler this week.

The SCG has upset many good sides over the years and suits the Swans close checking style. The first two qtrs were just a wrestle-- almost like ARL style-- but the thrird qtr they opened up and tried to go for broke but it suited us and we got ahead. Final qtr they closed it down again and with a co...

Have all the knockers/experts/dissenters checked in?

So why broadcast it ??

I recall reading at the time he followed X-man to join us that Raph was rated the better of the two. Has been a bit slow to prove that up till now but I have faith in him.
Go well Raph !
And a nice guy to talk to as well.

Maybe it will surface in OTC tonight.
I heard that Roo is the guest.

Has added great diversity to our attack

I forecast a day when Brian Taylor will be suffocated in his own excreta.

I have been a Raph fan all along but his opposition was weak last Sunday to the point that all of our boys stood out with perhaps one exception IMO- Kozzi.
But the heat will be on against the Doggies and I expect the claws and fangs will reappear for Raph.

[quote="perfectionist"]No Saints reported! Thought Michael Gardiner might have been cited for knocking out Harry Taylor. Very lucky.[/quote
Rubbish.
Taylor hit his noggin hard on the ground.

Hopefully there are a couple of 'Dempsters' waiting in the wings should we need them, either through injury or loss of form.

Unfortunately we are tiny minnows in an ocean of corporate and vested interests. Take as one example the inane utterances of a couple of commentators, namely Denis ("Was He Taken High ?") Cometti and his little mate Mc Iveney who always lean against us in borderline umpiring decisions. I k...

Frees tally for the game- Saints 15 Pussy Cats 23.
