The Stigga

We have the lowest football IQ

Honesty is such a lonely word...

In all due respect i'd trust Mark Stevens intel over yours. After all he is well connected in the footballing industry (or he wouldn't be employed in his line of work)...

Actually Peter Garrett doing this above would be more effective than anything else in our forward 50...

Lewis back, will be good to have a Runner out there again.

Someone on the Hawks Bigfooty board claims that he has a mate who is close to the club that told him that 17 of our best 22 managed about 10 weeks of pre-season training in total after operations and injury concerns due to finishing late last season. I'm assuming 10 weeks is not a lot...

Yep, even more predictable than it already is. See Carlton last week.

We'll win this. Smaller ground, one day extra break. McVeigh a big loss. Hayward as well, makes them need to go to Buddy more. Let the system go... just play and enjoy.

We are though, excruciatingly so. The worst football Ive seen us play, with the talent we have on paper, post Roos coming on board.

Agree so far this year, lets just see how it unfolds.

I think this 'being physical with Gawn to defeat Melbourne' is quite the non-issue. Max can dish it out as well as he gets it. First week he was crook as a dog, second week conditions didn't suit. I'm not worried, he played against two ruckman on numerous occasions last year. And at the end of the day you can physically target anyone if you really want too.

What, that forward line that was the highest scoring team last year? Should be monstering them.

Geez their backline, really should be putting some through the sticks... HB 19 Kobe Mutch 18 Michael Hurley 42 Adam Saad FB 10 Aaron Francis 29 Patrick Ambrose 45 Conor McKenna

I think the time has come to try anything...

Good to hear! Hopefully they come with a sunny disposition on Friday night.

A draw wouldn't surprise me.

Nowhere to hide, glad its on a Friday night...

I salute your reference!

Pyrrhic victory for Port, going too hard, too early. We no longer play week to week...we play the long game now.

Yeah...think about it!

Glad we signed him up! Looks in ripper nick. This must have been his first proper pre-season at the club.
