Let me percolate over that for a while.

What about the coffee grinds?

It was in relation to Caro saying the Saints believe "we are getting ahead of ourselves".

What crap.

Can I buy shares in that scan place, seems to be a great business?

Too much pineapple can cause a rash.

Pity we are not playing the Pies with Elliott, De Goey, Greenwood,Wells and possibly others out. The Saints seem to be at full strength minus Joey. Anyway it will be a good test for us.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I understood we are allowed to uplift one rookie as of right, before the season starts and also replace LTI players, namely Mitch King and now possibly Col. Therefore we can uplift at least two rookies and possibly three.

Sam Frost and Joel Smith are others. If Weideman comes on, or Tim Smith shows something, Watts could also play some time down back, to set up play with his great disposal.

More chance of me winning tattslotto tonight and I haven't even got a ticket.

I'll take a membership.

Think I will be more excited ( in a sporting sense ), this time next week.

I can't believe I am saying this but, ATM Spencer offers more than Weed, even at Etihad, where he is probably not best suited. He is not slow, is very aggressive at the ball and man, allows Max to go forward, can take a mark and kick a goal , can compete in the ruck and just ATM has a few more pros than Weed. That said, soon it won't be a discussion, as Weed matures physically.

I can.

He nearly was later in his career. We offered him $40k a year on a multi year contract, a fortune at the time and if not for the Hawks matching or getting very close, he would have been ours. BTW, IMO, the best player I have seen and the first I would pick in my side. Just to mention him again, the most talented I have seen, the great Tulip.

You are naming 7 possibles for the side, who have all had less than full pre seasons, either in training or games. We also have a number of other players unavailable. Once again we seem unable to go into a season with a healthy, fit and practiced list. We play a side who have beaten us 14 times in a row, at the ground we are playing at, a ground we struggle to produce our best at. The Saints seem pretty settled ATM, with the only big name I can think of who will miss, being Joey. If we win this game, it will not only be a possible 8 point one, but will also be a great win for us.

Agree. If the Saints mids get on top, or we have another turnover fest, I fear what Nick, Membrey, Bruce, Paddy and their small goal kicking mates could do to us. I posted the below on the Best 22 thread. Posted Monday at 10:01 AM · Report post The area of the ground I am most concerned with us, is the key backs. I know Frost is to return but I think we lack real talent in that area. Tom Mc is our best there but he has poor disposal issues, Oscar is not there yet and Frost can break lines but can be erratic. Clearly if our mids get on top in games, that will help the backs, but to me we look suspect there. A Weitering type would be my priority next draft/trade period.

Look at longitude 39.37 and latitude 68.28, he is still there.

Exactly and also not lose the games we should win.

ES is not the ground to play him and Gawn. If it was at the G he would have a chance.

He actually got hit in the jaw by one arm and over the neck by the other arm, of the tackling WCE player. That was just a stunning incident to miss by 3 umpires. It seems even in practice games, the umpires give visiting sides a hard time against the Eagles. Agree with Pro Dee's summary in the preceding post.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We would win a few more games.

More than a lot of others.
