Only 98 days until the boys run out against Sydney...anyone else missing their footy?

What round/matchup are you looking forward to the most...

Our first 5 rounds are all interstate teams, I am looking forward to Round 6 against the Bulldogs. Will be a good test to see how we measure up against the doggies, and would love to see Ray have a good day out given that he will feel he has a something to prove...

Feb 6th ( hopefully) Intraclub

to see how the boys are doing- to check out the new guys and to get some names and faces for the Zebras'

although with 48 on the list we may not need extras if everyones near fit- 2 teams of 24......

Round 1 can't come quick enough.

Launcestonsaint · Fri 19 Dec 2008 10:34pm

The game against Hawthorn down here.
Hopefully we will come here to play football.
As we won't be taking home the money we use to for games down here, I hope we can take home 4 premiership points for a change.
Also to consume the drinks shouted by my northern island colleage.

Wow where did you find out the date? Love those games no stress about who wins

I look forward to the intraclub more than the NAB cup.

Playing at Moorabbin (hopefully not down at frankston just yet), with ice cold VB's (cheap), and getting to see some of the boys in full flight.

Hopefully the matchups are a bit better this year than established vs development.

I made one huge calculation- one week out from first NAB game. that being the 14th Feb..
would bring it to around the 6th Feb being a Friday night.

Same game - We are coming down for 4 days - staying at Apartments at York Mansion - about 1km from the stadium - chalk up another ground that I will see the Saints play at.

Would love to see them smash the Hawks in a 'top of the table' clash

After having the boys up here this week I can't wait for the 1st game. Thankfully its the NAB cup and its up here Feb 14. THe footy gods are being so kind to us Qlders lately, its heaven.

saintdooley · Sat 20 Dec 2008 11:34am

round 15 is it this year? subi? thats if i can make it. i love going over to perth, walking the city on the Sat night before the game, then on the morning of the game walking on the track past the Swan river to go to the players hotel and watch them do their morning training session.
but the only thing is its the worst ground to lose at, because you then have to get the train back to the hotel in the city and everyone stares at you on the train, while if you win you feel top of the world!

Whenever we play Carlton, just when Judd thinks it's safe to take the field against us, BAKES TIME!

this is the game I fear the most, we win status quo, if we lose then they might have right to the claim.
But on our side of the ledger we must beat Geelong and take back the claim of the best "kids".

Against the hawks down here in Tas

nah, mine is one better, Cousins vs Gardy (yes I know they won't match up on each other, but would be good to see them play the same game!).

What would we call it?

How about "The Hood Cup!"
