Paying for watching Foxtel talking heads is like paying for looking in your toilet bowl after a dump.

Vince is a marked man. He will receive zero tolerance from the MRP. Needs to smarten up.

I want to see this as the season of payback and revenge week by week. End of story.

If we come out strong and beat Carlton as we should, I will take that as a sign of character improvement in the playing group. We have to take our chances at every opportunity. We can't be taken seriously if we slip this up again.

My criticisms of Hogan are well know but yesterday it was the most complete team orientated game I've seen him play and loved his work rate and lack of hissy fits. Hope he keeps up the good work all year and his promise will be delivered.

Just wait till the housing bubble crashes. A nice home grown catastrophe. I admit while not great for the club the aesthetics of a cleaner jumper look good.

I need a drink or a dozen. Yourrrriiiipppppaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

The humidity affecting the Saints goal kicking. Playing in Darwin is working to our advantage for this game.

Looking forward to Carlton next week. We can't lose that one.

Harlem Globetrotters Vs Washington Generals. Riewoldt can play till he is 50 playing us twice a season.

I hope the positivity you have displayed for the past decade is finally rewarded. The you can proclaim you have been right all along and I will hang my head in shame for being the doubting Thomas.

I hope the players are pumped too after Goodwin reads out the past 10 years honour roll to the players.

Don't like the idea and a complete waste of time. Besides, imagine having to interact with Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon supporters as equals and having to agree with them on some issues. Yuk!

Whoever were minding Cripps and Gibbs have a lot of redemption to do.

Typical early season game. Free wheeling games with fresh players, all offensive and sloppy defending. New game plans will be analysed and countered. Strengths and weaknesses identified. When things tighten up the real form sides stand out.

I believe Bennett also hurt the other guy too and he had to assisted off the the ground. Here is a sample of Bennett kicking for us.

THe clubs should also ask the AFL for a written guarantee that the turf won't shift and is safe.

Maybe Hun scribe James Hird will finally start telling the truth? About what happened at other clubs of course.

Yep, the first game always carries a bit of hype and anticipation.

Not sure if mentioned before but Round 1 is exactly the 10th anniversary of the begining of the great misery. Lost the first 9 games of the season and in the wilderness ever since. Beaten by the saints 93-62 in Round 1 2007. I hope the players are aware of this and play accordingly.

Whether glass half full, glass half empty or smash the glass to pieces type, Melbourne supporters are also the toughest and most resilient.

True, Bennett's kicking confidence also completely disappered. Arguably the most booming kick ever seen at his peak, his last season wobbles makes Travis Cloke look like a dead eye dick.

This one could be it?

The few Collingwood supporters who still think we are rivals all live in nursing homes with advanced dementia and colostomy bags.

Some unknown spud replacement for him will have a breakout game and cream us.
