Beat Collingwood. Move forward!

[saintspremiers]

As above

[StevieSaint]

Tough ask with our injury situation. Not impossible. Hope BJs alright

[SainterK]

No BJ, No Dempster, No Blake (it is me, or was he not too bad, and then he did his hamstring when he ran off)

[Pwoit]

I think Blakey has done something to his knee (medial), coz his left leg slammed into the ground when he landed.

Great idea but what with??

Drugs.

Payback time!

22 on 22 after what i saw today that will do me

[kosifantutti23]

Tommy Walsh will have a great story to tell about his first game of AFL.

He has to get a gig doesn't he?

Correct.

[bigred]

Its a big ask.

Hoping Will Johnson kicks four again today for Sandy. Gram should not get the recall unless he plays an absolute blinder.

AS Lyon said after the Freo game.... "We will keep exposing our list" so we have to keep the filth guessing.

The Freo game was a perfect smash and grab out west.

But Freo are not anywhere near the same class as the filth.

this. the worrying thing was our fwd structure in the freo game. we seemed to win the ball in the middle, look up forward for a target and we didnt really have a tall to kick to.

if we go into the collingwood game with the same problem were going to get smashed.

freo's midfield lied down and let us kick away. same thing wont happen against collingwood.

[Junction Oval]

It will be an entirely different ball game against the filth.

Let's hope the boys can take another step up. Injuries could be an influencing factor on our team this week. Let's wait and see.

[mad saint guy]

I think we'll test them but ultimately fall short with a simple lak of personell. Assuming that all of the injuries from yesterday don't come up, missing from the best team is Hayes, Gardiner, Goddard and Blake while our other options in Dempster (arguably in the 22), Geary, Cripps and Lynch are unavailable as well.

I expect to see something like

Out: Goddard, Dempster, Blake, Winmar, Lynch
In: Clarke, Baker, Walsh, Gram, Koschitzke

B: Baker, Dawson, Walsh
HB: Gwilt, Fisher, Gilbert
C: Peake, Armitage, Dal Santo
HF: Jones, Riewoldt, Schneider
F: Milne, Koschitzke, Siposs

Foll: McEvoy, Montagna, Steven
Int: Polo, Clarke, Ray
Sub: Gram

I think that team can give them a run for their money, but will ultimately fall short unless there's a miraculous 4-5 goal performance from one of our mids on top of a great team effort.

[Junction Oval]

Might be close mad saint guy.

[SaintSimmo]

Out: Goddard, Dempster, Blake, Winmar, Lynch
In: Clarke, Baker, Walsh, Gram, Koschitzke

That is a worse case scenario for the outs, from what we know:
Lynch will be out (but thats no loss)
Winmar could be dropped
Dempster and Goddard should get up
Blake ?

I reckon it will be
Out: Lynch, Winmar
In: Whoever peforms well today at sandy (any of gram, walsh, clarke, ledger)

Im hoping kosi and baker don't play, both are liabilities

[St. Luke]

Can I just say, I'm watching the Pies atm and has anyone else noticed the feral toothless bogan mouthguard worn by Ball??? They say of you lay with pigs you eventually come out covered in/looking like sh1t

[saint tash]

I havent seen the scores, how are they going?????

[lefty]

I expect to see something like

Out: Goddard, Dempster, Blake, Winmar, Lynch
In: Clarke, Baker, Walsh, Gram, Koschitzke

I'd say
Out: Dempster, Goddard, Blake (all due to injury)
In: Baker, Kosi, Walsh/Simpkin

Whats the point dropping Winmar and Lynch (unless injured)?
Prefer to see Ledger, Crocker, Geary and Stanley before Clarke, Gram, McQualter who need to stay back in the reserves and start consistently performing.

[ralphsmith]

Pies killing coast now.

[saint tash]

Pies killing coast now.

Ouch. And the man who shall remain nameless looks to be BOG.



How can a side like Wet Toast beat the doggies by 123 and capitulate the next week.

Strange season.

And who said Swan was going to be out for 2-3 weeks? FFS. He's out there today!

[InkerSaint]

I'll be happy just to meet Collingwood, learn where we are at, and move on.

A win doesn't make the season. A loss doesn't put it away.

[Sainternist]

If only it was as simple as that.

The next game will be an extremely painful one to lose.

As supporters, we'll probably need to all HTFU and be wearing an extra layer (or two) of skin to get through it all.

Not looking forward to the mindless taunts and hysteria from the Filth troglodytes

[bigred]

Are you really surprised?

Eagles have beaten no one. Especially on this side of the country.

Every game that the Filth play, where the opposition roll over is better for us.

I dont care who makes our 22 this week, just as long as they come in prepared to put their body on the line for the team.

Dont be afraid of losing. Lets be realistic. We have had a stuttering start to the year. That said, dont be afraid of winning either.

Just expect 100% effort.

[Sainternist]

You'd like to think that those 22 players would want to take out 6+ months of absolutely misery on the right team, wouldn't you?

[HardSaint]

Great idea but what with??

A strategically engineered off field scandal
