It's all the more clear why they have rested Ben now. Get's some miles into Archer in the ruck. Hopefully Kosi's injury will come along quicker than expected. If we are relying on Archer as the back up ruckman we are f***ed. He's way underdone and needs more time. Look how we got smashed in the cle...

Jeez, some people really struggle coping with the off season don't they..

FFS, has this new place at Seaford got a Betty Ford wing?

Seriously, are we so desperate that we have to consider every bit of flotsam and jetsam farted out of the arse of other clubs?

We were one bounce away, panic not!

How is he with keeping his old fella in his pants?

OK?

SIGN HIM UP!

I was worried our average age was getting too low...

How is the ranga doing (Lynch)?

Didn't make a great start but might be a slow developer like Watts at the Dees.

This is Saints Footy V2 - Faster, Stronger, Fitter...or we're f***ed for another 10 years.

it never stands still. We have spent so much time working out how to beat Geelong over the last 2 years, we didn't see the Pies skip past us. 1. If we need to learn one thing from this year, is we need to constantly keep developing our game plan. Ask Hawthorn. 2. Keeping on top of innovations in con...

I was up in the top tier of the Ponsford and I've never left a game early, but I could see it starting to kick off with the filth section to our right, so I pulled the pin and left after 5 mins of the 4th with my 11 year old boy. He doesn't need to see that shyte going on. The bonus was the train ho...

I agree, Kosi has had way too many chances already. He's a plodder with no peripheral vision who's biggest impacts tend to be on his captains head. Time to blood Stanley and be patient.

Time to do a pre season in the Hymalayas. Thats the only way we are going to keep uyp with the filth.

Will be interesting if we get 40,000+ next year. Expect fair weather supporters to drop off....

f*** me we really are scraping the bottom of the excuses barrel...

Do the pies now have to wear their second strip for the replay?

Seems only fair to me. we know that means jack s*** to the AFL though eh?

Was hard to tell watching it on the TV, but could Milne have grabbed the ball for that last point and kicked a goal?

From the view from behind it was difficult to tell if he was close to the ball.

I love EB but I'm glad he's kept a low profile. He was bugger all help last year in the end!

First bounce Baker takes out Didak and has 2011 off!

Starts at the Arts Centre on St Kilda Rd, down Swanston St, right at Collins St, finishes at Old Treasury Buliding on Spring St

And the more white on the strip, the more we can see Collingwood blood and tear stains.

Great post. Get real oneteam - the clash strip is a shocker. I'm sure that what most of us want to see is the basic strip that we have used for the last forty plus years be worn on Saturday. i don't mind the clash strip. also, i don't care what jumper they wear. it's only a jumper. +1. Come on, thi...

Isn't it strange to be suddenly barracking for the Cats? :wink: Anyone who wants any advantage at all in the GF should be wanting for the Cats to at least put some pressure on them. Do you ever have anything positive too say ? Your worse than old Rodger when it comes to pessimism ..... poor old con...

Don't you hate that quirk of the English language that has resign and re-sign meaning the complete opposite?

A Geelong supporting colleague at work yesterday admitted that in previous years he was always confident they were going to win it to the point of arrogance.

Now that has disappeared and he can't see how they will beat the pies this weekend, nevermind us the week after (assuming we win of course!).

B. Fevola....gawwwwn

Yeah, let's re-employ Lovett too and then we have all the vices covered. FFS. The are degrees of indiscretions, and your comment is plain stupid. Lovett (supposedly) raped a sleeping girl. Fevola gets excessively drunk at Brownlow night and pisses on buildings. While he is pretty dam badly behaved,...

I assumed the other Tommy was Mr Lynch, though a little premature to write him off just yet!

And maybe it was Finey...they were discussing Marty Clarke just beofre that. I'm usually in heavy auto pilot on the drive home so apologies for the inaccuracy.
