filth happy to give up the 5m on the mark behind centre in order for the man ostensibly 'on the mark' able to be moving when play on gets called

You into the Shiraz tonight picket?

Scotch and Cokes at Invi Uncle, but did sneak a Shiraz at Dinner with my Fillet Mignon!

FWIW  BOTH these sides are so of the pace as potential finalists its embarrasing! 

Both going nowhere fast! 

[Mazer Rackham 14,969]

Alright, it's settled. Saints can keep King, we'll have Naughton.

[Mazer Rackham 14,969]

Actually we'll have him as depth for Kossie.

Agree picket but I've got good money hanging on the aints .

Maybe I can hit you up for a loan since you can dine so lavishly.

[daisycutter 28,508]

funny side that filth

• a jumping jack who threw away being a premiership player
• a very tall skinny blind man
• and a man named after a bottom who likes to stroll around the streets naked

[Cards13 9,117]

Pies by a big margin, pressure is greater, sadly still look a few years off. (Great last words)

Cox mouthing off against umpires - no 50

Double standards, maggots.

Seen it a bit in few games so far, umpires need to police the 5m though, as often players are just going 2-3 m back

Well, they saw he's blind and thought he was one of them.

Maybe they made allowances for his disability Mono!

Even Howe couldn't convince McCrae to play forward

When are you allowed to run back a few metres rather than “stand”. I’m confused. 
 

[Clintosaurus 6,432]

Saints have a game plan? Not really seeing one.

Anytime Uncle 🤩but by cheezus after watching us there is Quazer light years between us and both these teams . Both Bog ordinary but would luurve Aints to get up.

Another question is Mason Cox Touche Turtle in disguise??

[Gawndy the Great 7,336]

If our own Benny Gibson put on 20 kegs he’d be a spitting image of John Noble i reckon.

I'm not sure about that picket but he definitely needs a white cane to complete the ensemble 

[dees189227 10,768]

Cox looks like he is ready to jump in the pool. Surely he could find a sponsor for those glasses

Pedestrian first half. Low intensity. We’ll beat both these teams handily

To think this time last year people were talking up St Kilda as a top 4 side. They're bottom 4 and as far away as ever from breaking their premiership drought

Their pressure is really down from when they were having a good run in 2020. It takes really dedication and commitment to play a high pressure game style. Dare I say they have the personnel to really burn you on turnover… just lack the intensity at the moment.

Pies v Saints = poor spectacle.

Pies playing 18 men as defenders who run madly forward and hope someone runs faster than St Kida. No way can they sustain this for 4 quarters. Strange gameplan, a bit like early Gerard Neesham at the Dockers, or Matty Knights when he coached the Bombers. Maybe if they leave Degoey forward it might work, but it isn't pretty.

Saints are doing a lot right but missing so many targets by hand around the stoppages. Turnovers at half forward are piling up. I reckon they will run over the top of the silly Pies gameplan. 

But the crossword book is looking good right now.
