That might have been the case in the last quarter - especially once they got out to the 5 goal lead but we absolutely dominated them in the 2nd quarter. Just as it felt "how far" the Saints wrestled back some control and got some tempo. And then it went the complete opposite way for the 3rd...

As well as Frampton and McInnes I thought the ray of light was that for the first time this year - in the 2nd quarter and in the last quarter before we got screwed royally by the umpires - we actually played our footy. Elliott worked his arse off. As did Cox. He might not have gotten a lot...

Thanks mate. Appreciate the heads up. Now to find an AFL member or 8!!!

Hey all, So, rather stupidly booked tickets to Melbourne for Anzac Day BEFORE securing tickets to the game. Based on last year where it took about a week to sell out I thought we'd be safe. No.... public reserve gone in less than 10 minutes. Don't suppose anyone knows if there are still AFL...

Hey all, apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this but couple of Pies fans stuck in Sydney today. We’re staying near the airport for an early flight. Does anyone know a venue where the game is guaranteed to be played? Conscious of the fact the Sydney game starts an hour after...

I'm actually stumped how Penrith are favourites to be honest. They have next to zero attacking flair at the moment. Somehow despite my Storm playing their worst game in 5 years they still only got over for 2 tries. Given how many times we shot ourselves in the foot (and the subsequent...

D Definitely going to be a very different looking team. I looked at our bench at the start of Saturday's game and thought "that's ridiculous". The talent is just off the charts. Then we lose Cheese and Welchy inside 15 minutes and everything looks very very different. :( Welchy's...

Anyone know if Ted Lasso will be speaking with either team before the game :)

I'm with you on this 1000%. The underdog loving part of me wants to rise up and say "let em win one" ... and then my head steps in and says No f***ing way.... hate them almost more than the Bummers and Filth. Plus Ads (I don't think I even called him that when he played for us :)) is running...

Sorry, way late to the party on this thread! Just an amazing effort by the Storm. Can't imagine how much money they've lost but at the same time they've taken all those membership $$$$. Regardless, just a stunning thing to do if you ask me. Now... time to turn our attention to destroying...

2 sleeps to go (until the game I care about).... jitters starting. Gonna be two huge games. Part of me hopes they're close for the impartials... the other part of me just wants the Storm to get through!! Bring. It. On.

Don't worry, you weren't the only one who thought it might have been close last night. Next week's prelims should be absolute rippas. Fingers crossed they're not blow outs like that borefest (unless you're a Manly fan!).

As a neutral (go Storm!) I sure hope you're right!

Hope both of these games live up to what they look like on paper - absolutely rippers. The way the Sea-Eagles finished the year you'd think they'll get the chooks but the chooks have just kept going all year, despite their injuries. Never write them off. I was about to say you'd would...

As a massive Storm fan this game has me worried.... been worried about our form for a while now and yet still managed to win every game except the Para one where it looked like we were out on our feet - made me wonder if they were in the final tough training block. Not sure if the NRL do that...

It's early days yet but I fear Sidey might go the way of one A. Didak. Sometimes they gradually go down hill and sometimes they fall off a cliff..... and you usually don't see the cliff coming. Pendles was horrid in week 1, better but still uncharacteristic errors in week 2 but back close to...

Quiet reminder that Crisp has 35 touches last week.... or do you mean just last night. Agree on Maynard and Sidey. Harsh on Noble, Madgen and Mayne (100% efficiency FYI). Thomas was amazing in the opening 15 minutes and then disappeared pretty much for the rest of the game. It's all on us...

Can you please explain to me what the Lions gameplan was compared to ours? Serious question.

Yet another one of the umpire stuff ups from the night. Pendles and Cox were in the tackle ..... how the hell does Brown get the kick? I'd take Pendles and Cox any day of the week. And while it was the correct call.... how the hell can the umpire work out that the ball just fell out when he...

I thought there were quite a few players described as "passengers" who tried their guts out but just got zero reward for effort - mainly because they were flying solo. Where the Dogs had 2-3 players we always had just the one. Adams was trying but just having zero impact. Thought Sier was...

Such a strange game.... I found it odd because the stats say we should have lost by 10+ goals and yet the "feel" of the game was if we executed a few chances better we could have potentially stolen the game. They blew maybe 1/10th of the chances we did. I actually think a lot of the issues -...

I thought Sier was overwhelmed for one reason only - the Dogs had 2-3 more players around the ball at almost every contest. He had no hope because he was working alone. I saw a guy working his arse off for zero reward. Grundy is a real concern. I thought after the pre-season game he was...

I couldn't believe when I heard the media talking Pendles game up. Yes he got the most possessions on the team but I gotta agree with the original sentiment, it was close to the worst game I can recall him playing. But you're also right.... he wasn't our only issue - nor the reason we lost...

But how many of those have they lost to the "big" Victorian clubs? The doomsdayers felt they (and the Suns) would dominate the competition for 10 years once their draftees matured. Even now, with them in the GF I'm not convinced they'll be there again next year - although... 3 prelims in 4...

Oh I'm so late to the party on this thread but ...

Liked - The way the top 8 ended up. Eagles having to travel. Tigers having to travel. Cats sook sook sooking (fwiw if the AFL are willing to allow Giants to play on their home ground, why can't the Cats?). Learned - Tigers will be very very hard to beat. Clearly a notch above. Eagles very...

Let's kick it all off... Liked - 1v2 & 3v4 living up to the hype. Seriously good to watch the tension in both matches. Pies demolition of the Crows. Actually finished a match off. Learned - Maybe the Pies aren't completely dead for 2019. Dogs are going to be very very dangerous come...

I'll kick it off ... Liked - Snow in Canberra. Hate on it all you want but it's something different and for some reason tickled my funny bone. Saints winning at the death. Learned - Not much. Bombers are almost gone.... Hated - The fixture. Obviously nothing AFL can do about it but there...

#1 Brisbane v Geelong - You can't top 1 v 2 at this stage of the year can you? #2 Richmond v Eagles - 3 v 4 ... see #1 but replace with 3 v 4. Should be a rippa. Don't want either to win.... bit sick of hearing about Tigers tbh. #3 Giants v Dogs - Huge game with huge ramifications ... for the...
