We came out with a ridiculously strong breeze and put them to the sword early, but were on the receiving end of the same treatment in the 2nd quarter. No team in the league has a greater home ground advantage than PEGS. We really struggled to implement our brand of footy against the gale force...

Average at best, good team effort though

How good was the sook!

They'd hope so, their ones and twos were rubbish at home Rd 1. Will be a long year for them otherwise.

Actually pretty accurate in the sense that our best is very very good and our worst is relegation worthy. We will be fired up and playing for our season on Saturday, but in games like this in the past we have served up absolute rubbish.

Given he said nearly HALF his side was out, i would assume a combination of all three. I didn't ask though. Im only going on what I was told by a mentone player on Sat. Judging by the sound of a few of the responses on here from mentone affiliates, that number of 'half' could have been an...

Bizarre. The bloke from Mentone I was chatting with after the game said almost half their best side was out. Going by how much better they were against us in rd 3 than they were on saturday, I wasnt about to argue. Maybe he was exaggerating and their blistering start to the season was due to...

I'm fairly sure most of Mentones players are in the Sandy reserves

They have about half their team playing for Sandringham or something, they haven't beaten anyone decent because they haven't had them in the side. The first three rounds they won by 100+ each game, including SMS who has beaten everyone else in the top 4! Without them, they are average, with...

SMS had about 4 of their very best out which certainly hurt, but no excuses really as Mentone had more out by the sound of things. If Mentone have their full side in come finals, its game over for the rest.

I only caught a glimpse of the bloke who did it jogging away as Manny was on the ground. To be honest, id be surprised if it was an extremely malicious hit, the guy seemed like an alright bloke, reckon it was more of a case of an unfortunate bump contact. Would probably still get a week or two...

Yeah, a very impressive result. I honestly didn't see it coming. Same thing happened when I scoffed at hedgefund when he suggested old mentone were going to drop off. Each person is going to have a different perspective, when SMS came up against OMs they were unstoppable, whereas a seperate team...

Massive win for SMS today, threw everything at Geelong who have had our measure in the past. Puts us two games clear of them and on top after ivanhoes boilover against PEGS. I don't think we've been the best team all year, but we're undefeated at home and if we can maintain that come seasons end...

Can't see anything other than a PEGS win in this one, regardless of Rd 1

I see a lot of similarities between SMS and the Hawks this year. Very consistently notching up wins without thumping teams like the others in the top 4. Our percentages are very similar. Next weeks game against OGGS is the biggest all year for both sides. OGGS are travelling better into the...

yeah who cares about hoes and parade

Agreed. Certainly can't see PEGS getting anywhere NEAR OMs from what I've seen, regardless of injuries.

Nailed it. Therry losing to NOBS yesterday backs that up. PEGS hadnt beaten anyone of note until yesterday, strong win over a very good side in OGGS. Wowzee is maybe a little overzealous in his opinion of them, but I think its more a case of him underestimating OMs who are undeniably miles above...

Seems like this year will be a battle for 2nd, but what a battle it's shaping up to be!

Smashed is giving SMS a bit too much credit. We battled through that game and only kicked away in the last when the game was over. We are also a much better side at home. As for being flattrack bullies, its hard to argue against. Its been a common theme for us for about 3 years now. In D2 a...

Some great match ups Tomorrow! First up, last years beaten finalists SMS and Geelong bucking heads at Como park. SMS coming off a good win last week, whilst Geelong come off a loss of the narrowest of margins against Therry. Geelong had the game all but wrapped up but were overrun in the last...

Interesting take, felt quite scrappy out on the ground. First half was a tight affair, lots of behinds etc. We edged it in the end and obviously it was round 1 but I feel like both sides will have much much better days. Having said that, you can see that Whitefriars have the potential to be...

SMS had a good hitout today winning by 16 against Caulfield who were relegated from premier B last year, still plenty of work to be done though

What happened to Therry last year? Did they lose players? They absolutely dominated for the two years prior. If they bring the same form from those years they will finish top 2. PEGS are an interesting one, few additions as mentioned, they could be anything this year, first few rounds will...

You moron. Easily leads our club and probably the league in contested possessions, clearances and frees for (all stats that point to winning you're own ball), not to mention kicking bags of goals playing as a rover.

Picked mummy's boy for the medal mid season. I'll happily eat my cake now.

Kew to pull an SMS and lose the granny to the team they dominated in the first final. Ormond by 9. Going early.

What happened in the Kew/Monders game!? Didn't see that coming! OGGS made us look like children in the first half of the elimination clash. Slick and slippery conditions made it a slog, and geelongs attack on the footy was several levels above ours and they smashed us all over. Same old story...

Ormond by 34 SMS by 15

No.
