Then there was the constipated accountant who worked it out with a pencil.

Membrey and King likely ins for the Saints next week.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Membrey and King likely ins for the Saints next week.

Membrey!!
Lets teach him a lesson, nobody beats Carlton 17 times in a row.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

King, Membrey and Hill in might make this closer than people think. They are a team that for whatever reason troubles us.

This round is proof that no wins are assured, we must stay focused and get the job done here, especially with both the Gold Coast and Giants games shaping as being tougher than first thought.

 

[ctwenty1]

Do Collingwood claim that as one of their premierships?

I mean they do have the above photo to support the claim, and it was taken well before the days of photoshop or deepfakes…

 

[ctwenty1]

These campaigners will be outcampaignered by us this week.

Can’t wait

 

[haveago]

Well........ it's a lot better than NONE.

 

[I bleed Blue]

 

[Magnanimous]

We are the best team in the competition right now. Simply should win this, and by a big margin.

GWS says hi

from my Delorean

 

[RedFury]

I'm a little nervous about this one. Yes we're travelling beautifully and I honestly think the Saints are ****, but we always seem to play below ourselves and/or squander opportunities against them.

But we really should crunch them. They are one of the most ordinary top 8 sides going around in some time.

Just get it done Blues!!!

 

[Bryce Bubbles]

Binns and Ed are the only two I see with any real chance of coming in.

Young unlikely.

Fisher, O’Brien, Plowman probably never again.

What's all the hype on Binns? Wasn't in our best the last couple weeks?

 

[Jimmae]

I think the need to play both is structural more then anything at the moment. The Collingwood interceptors had minimal influence last night and alot of that was down to TDK or Pitto being able to make a contest and bring the ball to ground

There's more than one way to beat the zone.

As much as we did look to work Collingwood over, they were coming off a tough game, and we weren't. We didn't run out the game particularly well either.

Would prefer to swing Kemp forward to stretch the zone offs with speed, and then get more value out of TDK and a mid.

 

[Wickzki]

As incredible as beating the filth was this is truly an 8-point game and arguably the most important game of our season. Winning this game will take us some way to making finals while losing will make that log jam between 5 and say 12 that much more difficult.

Believe it or not, but we can easily finish on 50 points and still miss the finals. We still need three more wins to make it safe.

We need this. I believe we've turned the corner but there's no room for let down now. Come on boys. Let's do this.

 

[Mikevk123]

B- Kemp Weitering Cincotta
HB- Newman Marchbank Saad
C- Docherty Cripps Acres
HF- Martin McGovern Fogarty
F- Motlop Curnow Owies
FOLL- TDK Hewett Dow

Sub- Cottrell

it wasn’t a tough game in terms of the pressure and psychology, but we lost 2 players in the second q and 1 in the first. We also had Dow and Cincotta with injury concerns.
We had the top 5 players in metres gained players, including two that ran 17km and one not for behind.

Make no mistake, as poor as wc were, that game would have taken a significant toll.

 

[agro]

Well........ it's a lot better than NONE.

Don’t forget the special place that “The Streak” 10 DVD boxed set that has a special place in the foyer down at Linton Street.

 

[Graffy4242]

Anyone, any time, anywhere........

 

[myblueroan]

I hope Voss gets his game plan right for the game.

Oh JAB.He's got it right now. Time to move forward, like we do now, with the ball.

 

[myblueroan]

Going to this with a Saints friend.
God help me.

They suck.
We've got this.
Up yours Rossy.
The End.

And I guess they had significant outs

Still don't understand how you are talking our form down

 

[Revenant1965]

O.W.A.A.T. We should win comfortably, but hardly anything in life is always a given. Just do it, so Voss the Boss can show it to Ross the Toss... ah, as well as all the other doubters.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

What's all the hype on Binns? Wasn't in our best the last couple weeks?

If you're going off the 'match reports' with the little list down the bottom. Don't. They're written by first year uni students as interns and often don't watch the game.

Yeah, St Kilda have done us over on each occasion we've looked like we've turned the corner. They've come along and deflated us. I want to annihilate this mob.

 

[carlton_99]

A little concerned about our midfield for this game. No Walsh and Cerra really takes away our ability to spread from stoppage and Saints have exposed our lack of pace in the past.
