over excited newbie

Hi Everyone, first time poster so I hope you'll be gentle with me.
I'm a woman and I have opinions about footy.... not always allowed I know.
But I just can't keep them to myself.

Bit overexcited about our start to the year and the game on Friday night.
I wonder who we have lined up for Tredrea. Now he's back in form, he's an eternal problem for us. I was at the 2004 prelim ( but did NOT run out) andhave sicked up at the sight of teal every since.

Glad Eddy gets a run tomorrow - hard, skillful and bloody unlucky to have been attacked by an umpire in the pre-season. Good pick for the wet imo.

Hope Grammy's kicking has improved out of sight in a week.
Hope both Nick's knees hold up.

My omigod omigod is Michael Gardiner.
The player I think is the most underrated by supporters is Jason Blake... and believe it or not, Nick Reiwoldt (he's better than we realise half the time)
Most overrated....Schneider - how he gets a game ahead of X baffles me.
That's it. My maiden speech. Thanks for letting me on. It's an honour and a priviledge. Go you mighty Saints.

Welcome aboard Roxanne.

Tredrea is going to be an interesting one, I would expect Zac to get first go at him, he's earnt it. But it's comforting to know that we've always got Sam Fisher if it gets to much for Zac.

Hi Roxanne.
I'm only fairly new here too and was a bit intimidated at first, but just love the place now and starting to feel like I "belong".
Don't worry about being belittled for being a woman and having an opinion.... No sexism here - if someone wants to challenge anything you say they will do it whether you are a woman or not.

Can sense your excitement and enthusiasm from your post. Thats great. We need everyone on board. Its looking like a great ride this year!

Only watch Lenny in the off season, it's all about the team during home & away games.

Its ok. Before I post anything I run it by my panel of male advisors and if its suitable they unchain me from the kitchen sink long enough for me to use the computer.

welcome to the forum roxanne!
Don't ever be afraid of voicing your female opinion on here... I do a lot and I am always come out the other side alive

AND sometimes very surprised because people actually agree with me

It is exciting times at the moment, but we do have to keep a lid on it somewhat!

GO SAINTS!
