This is the last of our games without Brown or Weid. Win this and we are in awesome shape.

Not sure who will kick our goals. Time for Tommy to kick 3-4 And hopefully Brown kicks his usual 2. Always have a bad feeling about the Hawks.

I think we underestimate how a few preseason can really build a players strength. He often got brushed off when tackling in his first couple years. Not anymore. Great skills, huge footy IQ, always front and center. We need all of Spargo, Kozzie and ANB at the moment.

Rarely gets beaten in a one on one. Must have been learning from Jetta. Doesn't look it, but is super strong

Did you see him sooking when Spargo did the same to him? Been doing it for years but can't cop it when it goes the other way

Wasn't that long ago we struggled to win two or three games in a row, let alone the first four of the year. Pity about May, hopefully it gives Petty a chance

Couldn't watch live; still don't trust us not to lose a game like this to those bastards. Now watching the replay with no stress!

Good player but pretty happy with Jackson

He hits most of his warm up kicks. Not sure it's technique that's his problem, seems to be mental

Sorry, but are they the same position? One is media replacing Larkin, the other is commercial replacing Mahoney.

Higgins also out with a hammy

Pleasantly surprised to see this thread was bumped to pump up Riv. Has copped a bit this year on here but for a 2nd year player he is cool, calm and collected. Is developing very nicely.

Just got back from the game. Took my 3 young ones who wanted to leave half way through the first, and after that first quarter who could blame them. But we took control from there. Clarry copped a heavy tag but great to see the others trying to work out how to get de Boer off him. Max was enormous, Kozzie just about brought the stand down on multiple occasions. What a win.

Announced the other day they are expecting twins as well. Big few weeks in the Jones household if he holds his spot.

Heading to this game. First game in person in nearly 5 years. We should be sniffing a wounded opponent and really go in for the kill. Not get ahead of ourselves and just assume it's going to happen; really get ruthless and grind them in to the dust. We'll see.

I think this is actually really important. Previously, he would have been upset he wasn't starting in the guts. But he sees a clear role for him on the wing and is happy to just play his part. Same as Trac. He plays a lot more midfield but also seems happy playing wherever we need him. A bit of maturity/team first attitude creeping in, maybe.

Hmm. Not sure then, because I definitely got two emails.

I got an email for my daughter's membership. Two in fact; one saying they were on sale and one saying the early access was delayed. Not sure why she got one and others didn't. Edit: now I think of it, the email may have been for 'local' supporters I.e. Canberra and NSW based.

I think I saw Viney and Oliver do the same at one point. That's how you really know they are working it out.

I'm sure it's just because she's NSW based; we know where her loyalties really lie. Plus wasn't all of Hollywood at that game (The saints had Eric Bana but it's not quite the same)?

Bit hard to coach when your prized ball user goes at 50%. Their skills were deplorable.

Joeboy - most positive analysis But Jordon was good. Does the hard stuff the let Oliver and Tracc do what they do. And Kozzie - he's a star

The saints ruckman are actually paying attention to him. No easy marks behind the play
