COOPER SHARMAN reminds me slightly of one John Coleman in appearance. More so if he played with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.

Did you see Coleman play Baz?

 

[borderbarry]

Did you see Coleman play Baz?

Certainly did. Best full forward until Plugger Never forgave him for breaking Max Mollar,s leg though. Max was our back pocket.

I hope you haven't forgiven Jim O'Dea either then Baz

 

[Cairnsman]

I just stuck my head out the window to see which way the wind is blowing today.

Watto it doesn't matter which way the wind is blowing...I'm certain the stench can be smelt in both directions...

 

[BrutThough]

Thoughts on who might be the sub?

Probably Bonner or Stocker.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Probably Bonner or Stocker.

Stocker on Neal for a bit might save him?

 

[BrutThough]

Stocker on Neal for a bit might save him?

Agreed. Or Rayner who has been in excellent form recently, if we chose not to tag one of their starting mids.

 

[saintkildaman]

Think Stocker is a good match up for Rayner, who has been in quality form. Can take him in defence and follow him when he goes on ball.

Even without a direct match up I’d be putting a lot of time into McCluggage. Back in the other mids in against Neale/Dunkley and co.

 

[Saints TV]

Another exciting test against the form team of the competition.

How do you think we'll go, Sainters?

 

[SG34]

Michito 50th?
Good….cos they have a cult favorite playing his 200th. Apparently, this guy started in 2011, has been dropped 17 times, delisted, relisted, made captain of their VFL yadda, yadda…

Now we played them six weeks ago, but 8 of our starting lineup from that game are goneski!

This should be interesting. They’ve won 8 on the trot.

Which St Kilda will turn up? The mob from last week, or the mob that gone by Footscary by 60 earlier in the. Season?

My guess Stocker goes out for Pou but I’m not really convinced by the Pou “comeback show’ yet. I do note some lovely bits and pieces.

Always thought he looked a bit like Jezza Cameron. Plays a bit like him too.

 

[SaintlyHymns]

Glad we've come off executing that Essendon game as strategy will be similar this week you'd think.

Stoppages critical, and when we played the Lions at the GABBA we gave up 151 marks. Excited to see how we go!

Garcia too slight and raw to get an opportunity to play on Neale? Would just love to see his application to the task.

 

[Saint Watto]

I hope you haven't forgiven Jim O'Dea either then Baz

Don't go there Captain.

Ok...I will.

1972 anyone ???????

 

[Saint Watto]

Touche there Cairnsman.

Play on ....!!!!!!!!!

 

[SteeleSaints]

They have more to play for but so did Essendon last week - Go Sainters!

ST KILDA

After back-to-back wins against West Coast and Essendon, St Kilda is settled right now. Arie Schoenmaker found plenty of the ball at Sandringham, finishing with 29 disposals against Essendon's reserves. Olli Hotton and Angus McLennan were both busy as they push for late-season debuts, while Paddy Dow

Maybe we should ask their coach.

Hardly sounds like Dow is "forcing himself" back in.

In a weird way I'm kind of okay with it -- don't think anyone deserves to dropped from last week and hopefully will see Hugo come on as sub.

 

[PoppedCorn]

we will win i reckon

 

[Klaatu]

Lions are due for a loss 8 in a row & they didn’t look impressive last week against GC,must keep Andrew’s occupied down back & Zorko not to play on Wilson as he will intimidate him.

Was just about to say that Klaatu.

Saw the stat the other day that Brissy had won 8 in a row.

CLICHE ALERT !!!!!!!!

I'm banking on the old saying........."the more games that you win in a row,yr closer to that loss)......and vice versa(sorta different for Norf tho)

If we play to the level of last Sat again.....we'll give it a damn good shake.

That's a pretty damning report. Basically no one was good.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

That's a pretty damning report. Basically no one was good.

He seemed happy with Paton, Garcia and Hotton, while acknowledging their deficiencies.
He also seemed happy enough with Alison's work while stating it was a bad day for talls.

There were some decent AFL players in the Bummers team.
This was a team with Early picks Tsatis, Hobbs and Weiderman.
