Ohh yes wise! That one handed pick up and goal was electric!

Hannan has been AWSOME!

Gawn apparently went down the rooms with a stiff back...

Jetta and Vince have been HUGE!!

HURRY up and come out Saints you flogs!

Good crowd building up.

Just saw Roosy and Gawny have a hug in the middle of the ground. God i love Roosy!

Jonesy bounced the ball in one patchy area in the pocket down the coventry end and there was sand bouncing up. After this game im keen to drop a nuke on this joint.

Good to see Brayshaw Petracca Stretch and T Mac already out on the ground doing some work.

Cheers bud.

Hearing alot of reports that it will take a while to get in due to security reasons. Whats a decent time to head in Etihad?

Reading the Saints board it does look quite likely that Paddy McCartin will be the late withdrawal and Acres to come in. McCartin has been underwhelming all JTL series but Acres was a player that carved us up last year..

One player im reeeally looking forward to tonight. He will add a whole new dynamic to our forward line with his speed and X factor. Hopefully he doesn't get overwhelmed by the occasion and settles in quickly.

Pumped for this! Gotta buy the mrs a birthday present, then jump onto the hume highway around midday straight to Shitihad Stadium.

Jeez Darcy Moore has really strugged tonight without that big bodied forward next to him. Just the 5 disposal so far.

Just a typical true blue aussie bloke. Loves a beer, loves his mates, loves his fishing and probably still has a punt or two every now and then. Its no wonder the players love him. Id like my coach too if he was inviting me and the boys over for a beer and a barby! All the best Goody!

I don't rate and fawn over the McDonald brothers like you do. Tom is a good ordinary defender and thats it. Don't need to go down this path again. Some of those names you put down i still have question marks over. Melksham will add speed but his disposal by foot is questionable. Goodwin has a love for him that i dont quite understand. Bernie Vince in backline just does not fit at all. He turns it over far too oftern for someone with such a good kick. Some of his best football played was as a tagger. Smith is unkown. Had a good JTL game 1 but his game 2 he was horrible by foot. I am very excited for his debut though! This is why Lewis and Hibberd will be very important to our back 6 structure. They use the footy well and have that class and experience. Id like toput Salem down there but his not a defenders [censored]. Leave him in the midfield where we drafted him from as a junior.

Our defense is no different to Richmonds. A big glaring flaw for us too, especially when we get sliced through our zone to leave their forwardout in space. Our defence is going to be the major weakness for us this year.

If Richmonds defense is an atrocious mess with Rance in id hate to think what ours is with the McDonald brothers......

I hope Petracca is watching Martin play tonight and really strive to that level.

Dale Thomas and Kade Simpson look cooked.

Doubt it.

Tigers will surprise a few this year.

Im in the same boat as most that i think this is a fairly strong team. Nev Jetta being named just makes it look a touch stronger and reliable. Funny that Goody rarely spoke of Jetta during the JTL series. Just show how highly rated he is amongst senior coaches.

Add Hannan to those list of names. Remember watching the doggies in the VFL final and he stood out with his pace and X factor. Probably only had about 10 to 12 disposals for the day but had class written all over him. Watch for him to speed around the forward half.
