Yay, hawks loose.  Feel a little better now.

what is it about Hoges, never takes a game apart. should have 5 and they’d be home

If he could kick straight he'd be B+ to A grade.  Such a commanding presence and a beautiful mark

Wouldn't mind him in our team right now but that's the stuff of dreams.  Bridges might have been burnt.  But the boy can play!

Mind you, the game was tough of my aging eyes ... bright orange & yellow everywhere.  Had to turn the brightness down on the telly

Uninspiring game between saints and pies

That’s one way to get Tassie into the league but still retain 18 teams.

well done Hoges

I hope we are at Norwood next year.

Collingwood look off tonight and are missing their ruckman, De Goey and McStay might be out for the game.

The scary thing about St Kilda is that they’re not even close to full strength.

They epitomise what work rate and effort can do. Talent doesnt make as much difference as it used to. If they keep winning and get back their stars they’ll go deep. 
 

We forget that they used to be a reasonable team before they fell off the face of the earth with no apparent reason. 

[DubDee 26,674]

no way the Saints will be able to keep this up over the season. it’s all pressure and manic play  

Ross is doing the right thing focusing on defence. but Saints don’t have the depth or talent to make the 8 this year. they’ll drop off like last year

After our debacle yesterday watching saints and filth play actually gives me hope. What an appalling game. At least the saints have some injuries as an excuse.

They said that about us in 2021. They are fit and they are hungry. Structurally they are excellent.

They'll make the eight easily.

do they have a Trac, Clarry, Gawn, May, etc? i reckon they are getting through on energy and pressure. us in 2021 were pokes apart imo

they were 8-3 last year and missed finals

Yes he effectively killed the clock with that last pack mark at high half-forward (Hawks side of the ground)

I got the distinct impression that he didn't want the finger pointed at himself for missing those 2 easy shots

Willed himself at the contest and iced the game.  It certainly was well done

Collingwoods pressure is fantastic. Hope the boys are watching.

Can not see the current top four staying the same at seasons end.

No thank you.

I hope we play the GF and I'd prefer we take care of business in the PF and smash the Pies.

I knew this question would tick people off!

Ugh what a horrible weekend. We lose, meaning Essendon won, Collingwood won & they occupy two spots in the top 4 those 2 clubs
