Bloody hope it was given they are a sponsor

Kosi out, Gwilt in.

Kosi just gets in Rooeys way most of the time and his accuracy is very off the boil.

Eddy out, Steven in.

Youthful confidence and hardness will see him star.

I reckon most of people old enough to have been at THE game would be in bed now.

Might get more responses in the morning.

Me, I just remember how the crowd went wild when Geoff Hurst scored his third goal....

I think during the week Geelong will become firmer and firmer favorites. As that happens, the pressure will reduce for us.

After that, the return of the mid season form will happen IMHO.

Now blow out yer candles and get of your arse and do something this Saturday would ya?

Stop leaving it all to Rooey!

I'm not worried. Their cake walk tonight will leave them soft for next week.

We on the other hand are battle hardened from the dog fight.

Blimey, how long ago was that?

Never knew we had that nickname before...

1. Kick ins from our defensive goal square. The last 2 games we have struggled not to turn it over from kick ins.

2. First quarter lethargy. We need to find a way to fire from the get go, like Round 14 vs Cats.

Any others?

My only regret was sitting in M2 behind the Dogs cheers squad meant I had only a few small pockets of Saints fan to share the ecstasy with at the end...


(not the drug BTW)

Well that explains it, no Hawks have been anywhere near the G during the finals

Hawk v Seagull
Seagull wins

Sitting at ground level last night, I now have a new appreciation of how hard it must be for players to spot their teammates downfield with all those frigging birds in the way!! At times it must be like playing in a snowstorm. Another thing we have had to adjust to playing at the MCG. Surely there i...

Seriously everyone, spend the extra $10 and get IQ with your Foxtel. Record all games on Foxtel so I can watch again and again without the annoying ads after every goal.

M2 and felt scared...until they started going home

I picked up a bout of gastro yesterday so it's hard to tell.

Still going to the game though. I might literally be heaping s*** on the Doggies cheers squad sat in front of me.

Slightly misleading heading there mate. Hawks SUPPORTERS want Goose surely.

At $112 a pop I'm staying till the friggin cleaners kick me out.

Please tell me I'm behind the Saints cheer squad!!

You and Warney should start a support group.

Lol. I know. Round 20 didn't help my cause one bit either...

I'll give 'em hell!!

BTW, wasn't it a Doggies game when the flare went off behind the Dogs cheer squad?

Better take a fire extinguisher....

Well I'm not f***ing relaxed!

How can you be?

Seriously, I'd try running at a wall to see if you go through it, because I think you must be dead!

I'm so grumpy at work I'm a bees dick away from serious s*** with HR.

There are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics!

I'd have the $10M and use it to make the new facilities at Seaford twice as good. Should hopefully multiply our premiership count many times.

As someone in the same positon I take offence to that! My excuse is a wanker of a stepdad.

Seriously folks, are the initials GT, Saintsational code for "add an extra 18 pages of drivel to a thread"?

Can't beleive it's got to 20 pages. It's got more of a mind of it's own than Banger's hair.

Speaking as a Pommy immigrant who grew up with Soccer and rugby league I say keep the banners as they are. Keep the flags waving after scores. Keep the piruetting umpires. Keep the bounce. Keep the 1 point for a miss. Keep the sleeveless guernseys. Keep the club song after the game. Keep the oval sh...
