Return to Glory

At one point Watson used the word 'we' when referring to the Saints.

Beat Saints on their home deck by 40 points. I'll take that every time. Two big positives, the Weed getting game time and looking better and Gus playing his best game for the club - by a long way. Let's be realistic and grateful.

Laughable. Whether the ball was touched or not, Sydney always get an arm chair ride at the SCG. Think Buddy being allowed to be spun 720 degrees before releasing the ball or taking a set shot that involves deviating 10 metres from the normal straight line run up. It's safe to say the ledger, on and off the field (think COLA) is squarely in their favour and has been for years. Give us a spell (abracadabra)

Shite game

Looks like they're the better team but the Cats really are allowed to dispose of the ball any way they like down there.

The three-years-away dream - Son of a gun, Kobe Farmer in tandem with Charlie. I've lost it but it's possible.

There's a point where you just need to back Weed in and simply put games into him. This is the time.

First goal - Clean hands in the contest.

Gut feeling - Charlie has the wherewithal to succeed at this level and will be one of the success stories for the Dees in 2018.

Spot on SJ. And it was no more evident than when we kicked the first goal in the fourth, got the ball out of the centre straight after and he halted all momentum by same brain numbing sideways stop and kick on the wing that went about 15 metres. By that stage, the opponents were all back. Did not grasp the state of play whatsoever.

And Cameron Ling is a Phil Spectre- like wall of sound.

Stretch should not be getting a game. He's been schiezen.

He's been good.

Pull yourself together ET.

So Martin fends off via the Harmes throat and a ok. FMD

You can hate a club and still admire them. I was reminded of this as I watched Geelong against Port Adelaide. Up against it injury wise but won through great commitment to a game plan. And a commitment to a cause that didn't deviate. Dare I say, I wish we had a Duckwood in our team.

My understanding is that he's talented. Dad's level? Don't know.

Would love an update. Over 6 months since my last semi - desperate post. Any news 'Landers?

Hannan for Bugg, Hunt for Harmes, Balic for Melksham if he's not injured. Would even consider Charlie Spargo for Bugg also (may be a bit soon)

At least we now know we're utter shite.

Oh really. I thought he was an A grade decision maker much maligned.

Roughhead must look at the draw and circle the match up with Melbourne with a smiley face.

I can. Hindsight is 20-20 but I don't rate him and never have. I don't get that he's consistently in our 22. [censored] me no end. There...I've said it.

Outcoached. Full stop.

Agreed. It's all on paper.
