Saints have firmed to be third favourite as expected. Dogs have drifted.

Pies and Cats equal favourites.

Did Gram get reported for a head high on Wells?

Oh and I guess we have been somewhat "lucky" that 6, possibly 7 of those that played last night were rookies at some stage. Never underestimate the value of your rookies. for sure. collingwood have been able to afford a full rookie list for longer than any other club, so this isn't surpri...

Can anyone seriously imagine Nick "never plays on a man" Maxwell and that grey haired old turd holding up the premiership cup? No way. It just aint gonna happen....

Id love one of our rookies, or ANY of your young players, to have the immediate impact Blair has had Off the rookie list, 6 games in. averaging 17 touches and 4 tackles. 28 touches and 2 goals last night Crap though Essendon may have ben last night, Collingwood have depth we can only dream of I'm a...

Pffft. Did you watch the game last night>? Essendon were worse than Port were for us last week. Take absolutely nothing out of that game. Flower Collingwood. Colon wood were very good but were helped by a woeful Essedom. I once heard Dennis Pagan say that winning by huge margins can be misleading a...

Chris Knights. he'd be great if available - the next adam schneider, possibly. can kick goals, can get the ball, just queries on workrate. would be very excited if we picked him up. oh yeah. but no chance. hes maybe better than schneids. im pretty sure his name came up last year and the crows signe...

Between court apperances and appearing on the Chaser how does he find the time to play for the Saints?

Simple -Our forwards let us down in the GF last year, and although we missed a few sitters in front of goal, we had most of the forwards not contributing. We will not win a flag if the CHF and FF are not in the thick of the action, as happened to us in the GF 09. Our mids were pretty lousy kicks to...

Will probably be Pattison, though.

Stanley for Goth

Steven/Armo for Mini

That's what I'd like to see anyway!!!!!

Leave Mini in.

You can make a case for every team but all top four teams can beat each other on their day hence anyone could conceivably win this years flag.

Both Robert Shaw and Martin Pyke on SEN said that it is too close to pick.

Gold Coast are not allowed to make mid-season offers. The process is closely monitored. 3:16...You are either holding back on the hottest scoop ever or you are lying. Which is it? I do like your optimism but I think you have way too much faith in the administors and the regulators of our fine game....

At least while Gardi is out. Keeps Ross's beloved structure but allows Kosi a run around the ground with the more agile Patto able to create more frontal pressure. What does everyone reckon? no patto. keep structure. keep normal structure as is. kosi FF, roo CHF and mac in the ruck. when mac needs ...

Did you see Kosi in the ruck last week?

Don't forget, even struggling with the flu, the boys managed to keep Collingwood to their lowest inside 50's (43) in the past 4 weeks. If you remember, they had an incredibly accurate day in front of goal...not sure it's happened since. We only had 2 less scoring shots than them which is amazing co...

The effort against Collingwood looked like a real shocker but this flu thing might actually explain the way the team has been going since Roo came back. They wouldn't have been able to train effectively either. The illness going around seems to take around three weeks to get over. Hopefully they ar...

I saw Kosi being taken through the Victory room by an official during a game earlier this year when he was suspended. i was watching him and he stopped to say hello to someone and he turned back to walk off with the official and he stumbled and nearly fell over. I thought to myself: "oh, gord&q...

It was a good start and that's all that can be said at this stage. I would like to see them do this for at least three weeks before I am convinced. That sounds a bit silly but hope you all know what I mean.

This weeks game is a real danger game.

While it would be a bonus, why does he have to pull out a blinder to retain his spot? I believe the forward line would not have functioned so well without him in it yesterday, if you can mount a case that Roo, Milne and Schneider didn't benefit at all from him being there, then I am all ears. I nev...
