There's a part of me that wishes the AFL would come out on Monday and say they're stripping our licence and winding the place up. Then I wouldn't have to go thru this crap week after week, year after year.
We've been "building" for 15 years now, and we've got nothing more than a porta potty...
I can't remember seeing more players shit themselves with ball in hand than last night. Our decision making was poor, and we looked slow again, across the ground and in our reaction times. We desperately need some soldiers back to refresh the group - fingers crossed the boys playing VFL in the...
Only reason last week was close was because we played on a primary school oval, and the individual brilliance of Bolton and Dusty.
Dusty looked cooked today....
Shame, any gains we made against the Pies were post this week. Ball movement was poo. Bombing long to no-one, and dumb decision making, it's Richo era stuff that I thought we'd moved past. Even if we'd won I'd say the same, we'd want a serious improvement in our style at Marvel.
Which end are the cheer squad in for this week? I've done some research (Youtube highlights from previous years) and it looks like we're in the usual spot at the Lockett End, can anyone confirm?
Just had a look at tickets for this one, as much as would pain me to hand over cash to that joke of a club.
Its pretty slim pickings. Nothing available on L1, anywhere. A few bays on L2 have seats towards the back for exhorbitant prices, and L3 looks to be reserved up to Row M, with nothing...
I don't understand the hate for Sharman's move down back in the 2nd half - he was a perfect matchup for Dempsey and curtailed his impact.
We just bottled some big moments, and the Cats nailed theirs. The class of their guns (Danger's goal, Cameron, Holmes etc) was the difference.
I've spent the whole off-season confident of a big win in Round 1, but I'm now worried our availability is going to hurt us. We'll end up a fair way from what we all think is our best 22, which might make the difference, against a team who I'm confident will finish below us when it's all said...
Got our packs during the week
Don't let your kids fall in love with the yo-yo's, both of ours failed to make it thru 24hrs
My stickman pin was busted on arrival.
Sincs is quite the pungent little bugger.....
Another commercially poor fixture. Thursday vs. the Pies wont be as lucrative as we think, and our home games from Round 8 to 19 are Nth Melb, Freo, Gold Coast, Port, Sydney and West Coast. Probably get more to the Norwood game than these, maybe 100k combined attendance.
Footy wise, it's not...
Doesn't have to be to us though.
I think it's pretty clear what's happened. Shiel was dumped into the Gresham negotiations (Salary dump to improve Gresh's guaranteed contract), all parties were happy, then Shiel's daughter crushes his rock solid knee with her super human strength, so we...
As fun as it is to rag on the Bombers at the moment, I'm still not happy we're losing Gresham, and the compo pick is still unders.
We picked a dynamic small forward who had all the attributes to run through the midfield. He was great in his first couple of years, a real shining light in a...
'Nominating' a team isn't a thing. It's nothing more than an agent saying "Player X would like to be traded to Team Y" - nominating is just the term the media runs with to make it sound official......and players aren't locked to any one team until a contract is signed and a trade/FA deal is...
Dodoro offered the world to everyone, and never thought they'd all say yes. He's still got Sheil on massive coin, Stringer on a decent deal, new deal for Parish, then add McKay on crazy money, Goldstein, now trying to fit Dursma and Gresham in as well.
It wouldn't surprise me if they've...
I'm pretty concerned by the language today.
We started aiming for Band 1, but knew it probably req'd a deal with Shiel to get it done.
Then it's end of the first round. Considering the other compo picks given, this is probably unders.
Now according to that Channel 7 dufus, it's a top-40...
Given the compensation already dished out this week, we have every right to be pissed if it's any less than Pick 13.
If the Bombers don't want to cough up, I'd rather trade him to Hawthorn for Pick 25-odd than have that smug prick Dodoro look like he won.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the whole "Top 5%" thing is based on the contract status of players at Round 1 2023.
But the salary cap has gone up by 15% for 2024. Hence why I reckon all of the compo so far this Trade window has looked to be overs.
Forget the footy side of things - it would be a PR nightmare. Steele is universally loved by the Saints faithful, and whatever deal was being discussed would have to be so far in our favour just to avoid torches and pitchforks down South Rd.
Having said that - 'gettable' is a long way from 'out...
I found a part of my soul today that I'd thought was lost. I have been a much more subdued supporter since the kiddos came along a few years back (good example and all that), but a couple of dodgy ump decisions and the buzz of a big saints crowd bought it back, the yelling, screaming, one-eyed...
