not a good time of the year for Zac dawson to play a couple of average games.....

i was pretty relaxed at the dome yesterday, playing a dead rubber is hard to be 100% motivated i reckon......how many dead rubber test matches did the cricket team lose, but all the players bowled to take wickets & batted to score runs....its the above the shoulder stuff...we will fire up when i...

too true, good to get press about team/players & footy dept. not egos in suits....

very proud to be sainter after reading that article......big sigh of happiness

hmmmmmm........west coast travel & tough geelong game, i think this will be a tough game i for one will not be too cocky, i dont care who the crows have beaten recently. we wouldnt want to be as flat as last week...

Raph & Eddy would not have been flat after last week me thinks. in fact they should both be full of running/optimism on todays ground & looking to impress, pretty hard to get a gig in the team at the moment so if an opportunity presents (congrats schneids) gotta make it hard to be dropped......

seems we really beat up the cats last week, so many outs for them cos of the "travel factor" this week tsk tsk pussies oh dear.....by the way bomber our boys are all up & about for a small trip to perth. So much for the theory about Steve J last week not playing so they had "somet...

I agree with "The Darkness" abt the cats game, although i hope we win... i think a narrow loss would be more beneficial to us & detrimental to the cats in "the bigger 2009 picture" ie more pressure on them to win the big one & less expectation on us, also something for Ly...

I cant get onto saints or main AFL site without page/browser freezing....i am running vista & have had problems for about 6 months. I have 3 computers both vista PCs have same problem, however the 3rd PC running XP has no problem with the AFL/Saints site, i have given up trying to access these s...

an "honourable" R14 loss would certainly take pressure off us & load it onto the cats, IMHO. A part of me wont be too concerned if we have a close loss (can't believe i am saying this OMG).

Well said James Brayshaw, the application shown on the field by luke is the character building stuff that glues a team together and demands 100% effort from other team mates. Thanks Luke for the many centre clearances you have helped orchestrate so far this season...

i would think Luke Ball would be more aware than anyone of his lack of fullfilled potential ......

Official odds are.... Joey $10 Roo $13 BG $21 Lenny & Dal $26

i'm pretty sure we won by more than a (Dawson) goal

sitting amongst the blues supporters on friday nite was somewhat enlightening thats for sure....my body language at 1/2 time was poor compared to 1/4 time. the win was more relief than joy when the siren went....phew

both got the right players but wrong order

we currently have 5 players in the top 12 brownlow favourites with bookmaker Sportsbet. how many forumites can place them in the correct order ie 1-5 shortest odds first. i was a little surprised how the bookies have them....

I guess the ball was a little slippery, seemed to me the grass was dewy, even Roo had a few slip thru his hands, i remember mentioning the dropped marks & players slipping during the game, both sides. it was bloody cold at the ground.....

Goose for Gram cos of the Big B's up forward for Lions.... we used to lick our chops to see Goose vs Brown, if Matty is fit (should be) throw the challenge down.... Sam can do the Gram fill in ....

i felt today we just did enough, looked out of sorts ie down on our skill level of the past few weeks. But we were good enough to get over a side prepared to run & carry. I think the short break contributed to the lack of man on man pressure over 4 qtrs. happy to get the points with no injuries....

Thanks for the tips, i've been doing allright on the saints with bets also, have got Dal @ 125/1 @ Goddard @ $100/1 for brownlow, also Geelong & Saints GF quinella @ 17/1 heres hoping. Mind u they owe me plenty from years gone by... GO SAINTERS

common knowledge i guess, but impressed me no end, our last 9 qtrs of footy we have conceded 9 goals. pressure from all positions on the ground, guys still diving full stretch to smother in the last qtr when 10 goals up, this is the stuff i have been waiting for, keep it going sainters....

any possibility we could back the coach in , on our first game...geeezzz... i reckon the men in charge should be given a bit of support here...they have picked the players based on what they believe is the right matchups & can implement the game plan....just get the feeling a few posters seem a ...

thanks for that better get a wriggle on me thinks....

how do i sign up/join ?
