That’s the exact saints too I have! From about 95 or so…! Still has some stains from family day last Sunday in September 1997…

I had one of those jumpers too and I drank a lot of Tooheys Red back then, great sponsors.

not making us regret our decision to get rid of him.

You should have heard what people in the crowd were saying about him. They're not happy.

 

[StCicatriz]

Longmuir is the greatest pretend senior coach I've ever seen.

There is absolutely no structure to how freo play beyond flood back, flood forward.

Darcy was limping through. Walters very sore forced to run end to end. One moment on the HBF. Next on the wing. Then in the forward line and rhey wonder why he's so mentally and physically shot he's missing them from 10m out.

 

[Plugger35]

Longmuir is a good assistant coach, he's good tactically but has all the personality of a wet lettuce leaf.

Freo are getting belted by Geelong and he would still be talking about processes and systems.

They would be better off with Cuddles Connolly, at least he showed some passion.

Lucky he lived to tell the tale after confronting Lenny in that Tassie sirengate debacle.

Tactically what has he done at freo thats been good?

There's no structure to how they play.

Tactically what has he done at freo thats been good?

There's no structure to how they play.

They were talking him up and the upward trend on On The Couch. Freo should be 6th if we work off the “expected scores” ladder. He’s some coach, they’re riddled with injuries and have a disjointed list.
Adam Simpson on the other hand…

I really don't get the list management. Are they rebuilding or contending? It's like being half pregnant at the moment

 

[Plugger35]

Tactically what has he done at freo thats been good?

There's no structure to how they play.

He's developing the young Freo mids like Brayshaw, Serong and Cerra and leaving Fyfe forward which would be a good move if Fyfe could kick straight.

Fyfe should be more on ball but his shoulder is an issue which is why they are keeping him more forward.

Taberner and Lobb injured hurts their structure and Walters has been a massive letdown for them this year.

I think he's doing a decent job but he hasn't had much luck with injuries and the fact he's coaching Freo.

Cant believe Brions are raging hot favourites against the Tigers

Watch the Tiges whack them by 5 goals

Thats my call anyway

And the experts will be like ...... here they come

 

[Yawkey way]

Why do I look at this photo and see Borat in his mankini?

[Pardon me]

Blacres… the gift that keeps on giving

We'd move into the 8 tonight if Geelong can beat Fremantle by about 150 points...

over 60 points. not bad from Geelong. now lets hope we beat Port

They remind me of the Saints under Richo. Old good players, average youth who aren't turning into stars.

They gave it a good shake

 

[StCicatriz]

He absolutely copped it in the bay I was in.

Freo fans everytime he got the ball treated it like it was a turn over.

Only took them a year and a half to learn - took some of us six years.

Need Brisbane to beat Richmond tonight. Very odd that things have gone in our favour the last couple of weeks.

They were 6th or 7th before the Geelong thrashing- not sure how but they were, so they must have done something right. Looks like they are getting carried by 5/6 good players.

Agree… don't think the Lions looked much chop last week, Richmond likely enough to get it done. @$3.20 - worth a nibble.

 

[kernelT]

Hawthorn $8 against the dees… any chance?

Hawthorn $8 against the dees… any chance?

no.

 

[kernelT]

I love a good long odd… both saints and north were about $5 last week from memory…

 

[AirWinmar]

Looking forward to see Matty Parker line up tonight
