Fleeta,
I am not so sure about the G Train? I feel like he still has one last effort in him but not sure if he has the will to give it. If he does come back I hope leaves nothing out on the feild and gives it all he has!!
Geelong are guns but I think the Sainters are finally starting to believe!
GET UP THE SAINT BELIEVER'S NOW IS OUR TIME TO SHINE
It was a crap game, mainly due to the inconsistent standard of umpiring we've seen all year. Holding the ball, dragging it back in to the tackle, over the shoulder, illegal disposals, 15 & 50 meters, the interpretations all seem to change dramatically from week to week. The players spend half the game wondering what they have to do to avoid being penalised or awarded a free kick.Only watched half the game tonight, and what I saw was crap.
It's not how Hawthorn play the game, the 'cluster' or zone defence seems to work for them though.What happenned to finals footy? You know hard, one on one pressure footy, where getting a clean disposal was hard to get.
Record memberships, record crowds, expansion plans, obviously not everyone agrees!I am so over footy and the way it is umpired/played. Well done "fat faced Demetriou for totally f***ing up the game. Why not give yourself and all your sponging mates another payrise for the hell of it. Mickey mouse could do such a better job!
AS for this weeks games - I think they should all go to plan with the exception of the Pies. They have a good record at AAMI from memory and they might take the Crows. In racehorse speak....I'm happy to forgive the last run. Adelaide don't excite me.
As for Sydney v North......if you forget last weeks games you woul say North but anything could happen up in Sydney. North regularly overachieve - I'd say Sydney might get up.
Hawthorn should be too good for the Bullies and Geelong are a wrecking machine at the minute.

If only I was seeing my stock picks this clear.
Pies and Swans for me. Bulldogs were awful last start - you don't lose 6 of your last 8 and last too far into a finals campaign.

Victorian clubs continue to struggle and rely on afl handouts, playing home games in northern states, and playing Collingwood as much as possible too break even every season.
Where else in the world has a league that also fudges the fixtures every year to get maximum cowds.
As for expansion, lets just wait and see how this turns out, before claiming it a success. Pesonally I think it will be a multi-million dollar failure. Something Fatfaced Demetriou has quite a list of.
Hello
On a warm September evening in Melbourne at the MSG there is nothing like the clack sound the seats make as the Collingwood faithful leave the MSG early.
Those Saints have you in hell one week, heaven the next.
Time for the Saints to revenge the 1971 GF and Don Scott’s hit on Stewie Trot.
Regards

Two great games this weekend.
Saints will need to do something special to hold out the Pies in Melbourne and Bulldogs better find some form fast if they want to remain in the hunt. As good as the Hawks were - Bulldogs were bloody bad.
Pies and Swans for me. Bulldogs were awful last start - you don't lose 6 of your last 8 and last too far into a finals campaign.

Whats the MSG - "Melbourne Stomping Ground"
I suppose it will be for the winners
Hello

Duckman - you have under-estimated the Saints and their champion skipper Nick Riewoldt - or as he will be known in a couple of weeks time - Mr September! Everyone talks about the buddy/roughhead show but we have the kosi/rooey/milney show and its gonna take the Saints to the Cats on the big day - and in their complacency after the first final win, see Robert Harvey sent off after 21 seasons with a premiership medallion around his neck - it is destiny
P.S. I also LOADED UP on the Saints to kick the highest score of the round at the crazy odds of $5. What happened - Saints 106 points, doggies 106 points - I got half of a sh1tload of cash - 1 more point, damn!
