Sadly, we’re miles out in front already after Richo’s usual dribble on SEN yesterday confirming what supporters and the entire AFL industry knew about Henneberry’s body.

[SaintPav]

Precdicting that Sydney may struggle this year.

They may finish 8th or something, but like Geelong and Hawthorn they have too many good players, good structure and are well coached, to drop out of contention. They also develop their players properly and get good value out of their academy.

[spert]

I tell ya after round 4

[Moods]

Being a laughing stock and dropping your position on the ladder two very different things. Swans sliding down the ladder after not missing the finals for the past decade or so hardly qualifies them to be a laughing stock.
A laughing stock is the saints right now. Paying massive money and placing on a contract for a lengthy period a player with dodgy injury history and not bothering to investigate the full extent of his injuries before placing him on the contract with minimal performance clauses.

Oh, so Brendon Boulton's Corporate waffle is better? What about Leon Cameron, Ken Hinkley & Goodwin. Churchillian Orators? I think not.

Then there's John 'Funnel all communications through Mark Neeld, or I'll get confused' Worsfold.

Allan Jeans was a man of few words.

Last time I checked there was 18 teams

Kind of hoping Melbourne goes off the rails a bit. Mainly because we seemed on somewhat even footing (or even better) than them as a developing side, until last year that is.

They looked a bit off the pace today. Port looked good. It looks like the early trend is to play multiple debutants in round 1.

[bigred]

Melbourne needs to be on that list.

[saynta]

Anyone of Carlton, Melbourne, Collingwood and Adelaide, judging from round one results so far.

Think I might be able to add the swannies and the doggies jumper to that list too.

And i also got a big belly laugh out of the Lions thrashing last years premiers.

Allan Jeans was a man of few words.

I have heard Allan Jeans speak in the flesh and he was an extremely inspirational and powerful orator. He didn't speak loudly but he spoke forcefully.

The excuse I heard the other morning on SEN was lame in my opinion.

However, I do have to say that the team's improved performances in the practice matches have given me some heart for the season. I certainly can't fault the players' endeavour in the two practice games and long may it continue.

My own take on the aggression in JLT,
is Slater's coaching in NRL tackling, making sure you hurt an opponent,
and the martial arts guy making em wrestle on the Portsea beach.

Let's hope we can do to Sydney n Crows, what they used to do to us. Revenge is sweet.

Hear hear to the doggies jumper! Can only assume they were going for a "dog's breakfast"!! What a bloody mess!

Funny how ppl respond differently to speeches. I too have heard Jeans speak live. He addressed our footy team back in the day. I found his talk to us contrived. Deliberate inflection on his voice. Raising his voice for no apparent reason. The message wasn't all that unique either. I left feeling somewhat disappointed, almost like I had heard a used car salesman talk to me.

Bombers
Fanatical fans
Dodoro
Drugs scandal

Well after round one, although there were a few real losers, the stand out team for laughing stock honours goes , by the length of the straight to , the

The Saints. By a country mile. I love this club, loved 'em since I first got to Melbourne, will love 'em till the day I die...... BUT, my love is in SPITE of their (ahem) "quirky" way of doing things.
