GAMEDAY: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda

[Guest]

I've got a personal training session from 5:30 so will have to listen later. I have a feeling though that the Saints will come out firing for Spud's game. In a professional sport, there probably shouldn't be a need to find extra motivation, but I have a spooky feeling that this will be the case. Just call it intuition.

Maybe we will come out firing like we did for Tom Hafeys tribute game.

We can pay respects to Spud too....  Angus is even dating his daughter I believe.

Spud was a great guy.

Hopefully we’ve got Langdon playing on the same wing as Brad Hill. That will be good to watch

Will be a cracker. Langdon has so far proved many of us wrong that said we should've targeted Hill. So far.

Will be watching to see if Viney has improved his kicking/lowering the eyes
 

To be fair, he did Improve it last year right around the time of the "red myst" fox footy critiques.

there’s big difference in body shape here. Gawn hasn’t got the weight of Hawkins to do that at stoppages. The amount of times hawkins shoves the rucks in the bk at throw ins and gets away with it astonishes me. The geelong rucking subrule ie it’s in the back unless a. it’s a geelong player at kardinia park or b. it’s hawkins 

Max actually weighs 108kg v Hawkins 101kg

Sadly, true. The AFL has lost control of the rules it implements. This is no level playing ground, just an avenue for cash.

Hill doesn't have langdons engine. I expect him to do well as our link player. And as usual about 10m in the clear

Are we fast enough for this mob tonight?

You list your interests as boundless optimism. what happened?

No.

Saints supporters are a weird bunch. They look like the types to either be doing lines of cocaine off a toilet at Revolver at 3am on a Wednesday, or to own a Cash Converters along the Nepean Highway. 

[SPC 3,596]

Feeling a little confident, certainly a little too vocal already.. geez I hope we win. Could set the season up!

I think we're fast enough just don't think we kick the footy well enough. You're fast enough if you can move the ball efficiently and effectively.

No worries at all

We’ll rip the Aints a new one and that kid King will wish he’d stuck to basketball when May gets through with him.

And yes......... I’ve got money on us. ( Well a good bottle of Shiraz actually!)

I can't remember the last time I put money on us. I always bet on the other team and am happy to lose the money to bag the 4 points. Win Win. C'mon Dees take my money.

No and the Saints will run us off our feet and we will be out coached (not for the first time) this season  

That’s my positive take on tonight’s match

Don’t be silly ! A decent Shiraz is far more valuable

Ah, that needs to be changed back to 'Apathy' in reference to my Uncle Humphrey's eponymous song.

I think someone had a go at me for that being listed as one of my interests, so I changed it to 'boundless optimism'. Rest assured it has now been changed to it's original status.

I do not have the slightest clue why, but Im excited and confident about this game.

All will be revealed.

Go you good Demons.

[WA Demon Boy 966]

Tipping us tonight! 

Thinking Tmac will have a good day (as long as he doesn't do that over the top of th tackler with the ball move) and our mids will be on top

 

[Deeoldfart 8,201]

Oskar Baker confirmed as medical sub.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Just hoping we can kick a winning score.

Me too - but my gut tells me that the Saints will jump us early, we’ll come back, but end up losing by about 20.

 

Let’s hope my guts are crook!
