Don't listen to any of them undies, give it to them! Haha it's all funny stuff.
Now, tell us your story undies...
Well, Port got up in an upset, even coming from behind over at Cazalys. This might be just the catalyst they need to get their season going in the right direction. Obviously, it can't hurt.
Saints forward line was again dominant. Lions kicked 13 goals, is that their best for the season? While the 5 leading goalkickers for Saints were again banging them from everywhere.
Souths continue to go from strength to strength and look to be favourites for 3rd spot on the ladder. It's going to go right down to the wire for that last spot in the finals and even Souths can't rest.
I still don't think Centrals will do much, without Crathern (injured, now coaching) and now their coach (who will not be missed). Can Port reel in Hawks, or will they both topple Souths at the business end? There will be some pretty interesting games for the rest of the year amongst those three teams, and Centrals may bob up for an upset.
The reserves Final 4 is now sorted, though the order may switch around, I'd expect Saints to stay on top.
Did the coach resign or was he sacked?

Speaking with 2 members of their board on Saturday I asked & they were happy to stop rumors,
he left, didn't like being disapplined for an incident & the other matter well he had a key as well & the assumptions.
all things were caught on CCTV. They are trying to keep it in house if possible if not the constablary will run with one of the matters. A life member may be stripped of their award as well.

I do not think we can write off any team yet Port were a surprise packet but hey that's the great thing about our game anything can & will happen if the foot is taken off the pedal
Centrals may be too far behind now ---- BUT won't count my chickies just yet
Norths v Souths next week match of the round ?????
OR
Lions v Hawks ?????
Daniel Locks 200 & Matt Anning 200 games, both on the same day
so extra incenative to roast them Tigers in their juices at the Den

Tigers will win comfortably
Hawks will beat Lions, even if my just
Port will beat Centrals
And as much as you try to dress it up into an interesting competition, we all know that the tussle is for second place. Saints have too much of a budget for any other team to overcome.
Tamba, it is untrue that anything can happen in footy... For example, Lions will never beat Saints this season, and nor will anybody else. Go on Saint, get your back up and call me what you will. What I am, is someone telling it how it is.

You must be very young if you think teams that go through all season undefeated can't be defeated in the Grand Final. If you'd seen either of the Norths v Saints games you'd know it's a distinct possibility.
A lot greater chance than something like Melbourne beating Essendon.
I hope you're not a gambler, Dontargue. You'd be bad at it.

Don't believe Saints have a budget but that ones been flogged to death on here

You said a dirty word,
now go wash your mouth out with a Stubbie of Beer.
no more now
M
Mouth washed out with a stubble or four so should be clean now!
Lachrilly I never meant to bring it up as a focus point for further conversation, was just stating the bleeding obvious fact! For your sake, please would all on here speak no more in regards to the Saints budget. Happy?
Saint surely you jest when comparing two AFL teams to my comment??!
Unlike Essendon, Cairns Saints average a whopping 176 points per game while conceding an average of only 53 points. Giving them an average winning margin of 123 points per game for the first half of the season!! And yet you infer I am speaking nonsense when I bring up how ridiculously short priced a favorite Saints are to win the flag?? Just telling it how it is. Sorry to stunt your constant efforts to downplay this fact.
Now, tell me I'm a bad gambler to bet on Saints winning the flag!

Would have bet London to a Brick
on Souths doing Saints in 2008
Saints doing Hawks 2011
plenty time the favorite has been DONE like a dinner
Wont back anyone til the Fat Lady sings this year burnt toooooo often
Tigers or Souths may have the goods at the end, unlikely,
BUT you never know ?????
Call me optimistic mmmnnnn
You say they are trying to keep the matter in house, yet they are quite happy to discuss the issues when asked by you. If they are tring to keep it in house then no comment should have been their reply to you.
There is more to the issue than has been communicated to you. As the saying goes "there are 2 sides to every story" and you have only been told one.
There are a lot of rumours and stories going around with regard to all this, some are fact but there is a lot that is just that, rumours.....
If somebody's heard a rumour and you ask somebody who might know and they say 'no comment', most people would think the rumour they heard was fact. It's very difficult to say 'no comment' if somebody has heard a rumour. Probably the same rumour we've all heard.
No comment was probably the wrong term to be used, maybe something more along the lines of sorry i can't discuss it as it's a club issue or internal matter..... Depends on what rumours you've heard Saint..... there's plenty out there going around.....
Saints deserve to be red hot favs thats for sure but its only half way through the season,injuries happen and like you said and what i have said several times is the the flag favourite has got knocked off a bit over the last few years so maybe thats why Saints are trying to play it down. Fair enough too.
I admit that in the past favorites have been knocked off at the last hurdle. Port Douglas in 2010 and Cutters a few times prior to that. Last year the favorites and best team of the year won in Hawks.
But, my point is that there's hasn't been such a dominant force in this competition, in a single season in memory. I'm happy to take bets if anyone thinks I'm wrong?

What's all this regarding the deposed Centrals coach? Did he break in or not? Was he sacked or not? And let's not say it doesn't matter because it does.
Centrals are fast becoming a complete rabble in the mould of the Lions since they were a very strong team only 2 short years ago.
I think Tyson Lane put them back a year or two and now a coach gone half season and a young guy as caretaker. The next coaching appointment needs to be a consolidation for the club. He doesn't have to be a big name, just a committed character that is looking to be at the club for at least the next two seasons. I think Lions have gone down the right road with Roe and there is improvement in sight, although how much improvement will be measured about this time next season.

What odds do you think you'd get, Dontargue?
Skipping straight to GF day theoretically, I'd say you'd get about $1.10 ish for the Saints, while about $7-$10 on Norths (assuming they're the teams). In a two horse race, I'd take the $10 every day. Injuries, send-offs, a half-team bout of the flu, Liddy being on fire. There's plenty of things that could happen that would make $1.10 a terrible bet. History is just one indicator.
You're the kind of person a bookie loves. Feed them $1.10 and lose a little bit for a few bets. Then a roughie comes home and the bookie takes the much larger initial outlay.
Perhaps they're more raging favourites than the last couple of years teams, but that just means shorter odds.
If you'd backed the favourite in the last 10 years of CAFL, you'd be out of pocket by a fair way.

Depends how long your memory is, but I don't want to live in the past
I live in the NOW
I still will not bet against Saints at this stage

Hasn't Liddy gone back down south? That's what i heard back to Brisbane or the Gold Coast. Can any Tiger people confirm or deny this? If its true it would be a massive blow for the Tigers
