What's up with Don's, are they on the juice again or something?

In the football tipping.    Did anyone pick. Swans and Bombers to both win, and relatively easily as well, 

All our games need to be played as danger games    No easy wins.  Go hard or go home !

wow this could get to 100+ points

Saints are shizen

I have noticed that over recent years, when a team loses to Melbourne, they seem to go on a losing streak for a couple of games.

It goes waaaaay back, actually.  It's almost as uncanny as Melbourne disproportionately playing sides with new coaches.

We outright broke the will of a few teams back in the 2004-2006 run.  Very strange stuff - we would play teams which were in the eight when they were our opponents but then by the end of the H/A season they wouldn't count as beating a top-8 opponent when everyone was prognosticating about finals.

Still... St Kilda... this is wildly bad. Maybe a few players read the Rod Owen article pre-game and wondered exactly what all last week's proud culture talk was really worth?

Gee we only beat the saints by 3 goals. Essendon are up by 10, so what does that say about us? Surely essendon aren't that great. They have all these injuries and are flying. 

The saints have just gone backwards. I mean they were a top 8 side who won a final and are getting thrashed by a basket case team. 

Says we didn’t kick straight. Essendon and us had the same amount of shots as of right now. 

Just about every team has players kicking bags except us

Is it too much to ask of Fritsch, T mac, Trac or anyone to kick 6+ tomorrow?

How’d the Saints get 4 games in a row at Marvel?

I expect to see some serious back pedaling in the media this week. A lot of commentators talked up st kilda.

We really should target a recruit to do that!  ??  (just having a laugh)

But seriously, yes, please, can someone properly get a hold of it for us soon.  That's where the real fun smashings start.

I reckon this year is just as much about defence and we are lucky enough to have a rock solid defensive unit at the moment. No way Essendon waltz through and score against us like they did today.

Don't worry. The goals will flow once BB and/or the Weid return.

Nah, I heard one of them already saying they've got players out. Yeah, two ruckmen. Crouch played today and had little impact. Old man Hannebery? Laughable. People need to get serious here. St Kilda are all system. They don't really have elite talent, certainly not under 25. Maybe King in time, but he's still developing. If they're off at all, St Kilda get beaten.

I hope you realise OD that the only reason we allowed you back into the state was because of the positive comments you made while you were in banana land.

Please do not revert back to the old negative you or you might find yourself being deported.

You must be confusing me with someone else NC.

I will say that towards us North fans had a ridiculous amount of arrogance for a team that has achieved exactly nothing in the last 20 years. 

Only 20?

Those academy players are really a gift to the Swans over the last few years and even though he hasn’t played yet,  Jamara UH the number 1 draft pick  given to a finals side last year is another gift. 

It’s a blight on the game. I also think the father son has to be further dialled back in if not eradicated entirely - yes it’s not a popular view and I get that there is a bit of romanticism about the tradition. But we will have another pick 1 go to a non wooden spooner this year and in the interest of ensuring an equal competition - is counter intuitive.

They had a successful 90’s (though could argue not as successful as it should’ve been with the team they had). 

Since then they’ve been a team that’s always sat middle table trying to push for finals but never doing much more, too afraid to bottom out. Now they have and reaped what they’ve sowed for the last decade. Even that run of wins they had a few years back were clearly flukes against lowly opposition, we were awful and only just lost to them (BBB got some of the softest free kicks ever that day). 

WC looking ominous......Port at sea...

Upseturday.

Liam Ryan is such a good player to watch. 

Port are going to be Sodomized this evening on Free to Air

It’s has infact started

Kochie not looking too happy

Eagles are red hot (against a well credentialled outfit)

Still excellent viewing even though the game has blown out

As a measurement, we're going to have to be rather good to match up against this sort of standard!

Port are probably wondering what's hit them

3 training drills in one day. 
 

How I’d love to be this relaxed when we play. 

Shaping up to be a crazy unpredictable season and that is GOOD FOR FOOTY.

Port are not reading the bounce of the Ball off the turf, that and their midfield are not touching the ball at all

If we are slightly off against one of the better teams this season it’s going to be painful viewing.
