Previously known as LITD.

Hawkins still a quality big fwd and about to turn 36.

Cats looking far better. Doh.

Oliver looks bigger this year.

Sure the Pies had a bumper start to the season last year but they fell away at the end. In reality they just snuck home with three iffy finals including the gf. They beat us in a final by 7 points when we had an absolutely depleted fwd line and were a man down. Just beat Gws by a point. And we're lucky in the Gf with the soft advantage call and just snuck home again by a kick. They were not a glorious flag team by any standard. Look at our 21 finals campaign. That's how it's done. Pies won't make top four and rightly so.

The umpiring standard was horrendous and it's the first time I enjoyed it. And if any Pies fan should stumble upon this post..... That goal from the boundary line ....the ball was definitely out of bounds.

The penny just dropped what droves actually means.

If was a Pies fan I'd be livid. ( And ashamed)

I love these umpires.

Umps better have their bus ready.

Oh dear.

This is sweet.

Maybe not.

Has he made any statement about Gus retiring?

DISSENT

Was a dangerous coat hanger.

Ripper mark.

Great pressure absorption from the Saints then counter punch. Pies look wobbly.

Soft free

Always the way.

This is a horrible game to watch.

Really live up to their rep.

Saints getting a killer run from the umps. Nice.

More of this please.

Great running from the Saints.

Bt....the Afls done a lot about concussion for years. Can't agree.
