No collingwood was our first choice, out of the big 4 melbourne clubs you're the smallest so probably our last choice.

Inaccurate. We're not as big as Collingwood but we're bigger than Carlton.

Well Carlton gets bigger crowds

They also get more MCG games than we do, and even then that's only been true once in the past 12 years. Do some research before going off half cocked.

  • From the sound of it Zerk-Thatcher will be fine to play.

  • Hobbs unlucky.

Think the comment was Carlton have had a larger average attendance once out of 12 or so years. So thanks for proving the point.

Also, you need a big 4 club for people to show up to your 150th? Not confident your own supporters will show? 😂

I was responding to someone claiming we didn't want to play collingwood when they were our first choice, and most likely would have rather played Carlton or Richmond as they would draw a bigger crowd.

Marshall the biggest worry for us. He destroyed us in the PS game. We definitely need to keep going with the 2 ruck setup, it works well

He said that the Saints booked Essendon for this game to get a win because they considered us “easy beats”. Said the boys will be coming out “nice and hot” against them this week.

Yes and just happens to be the most recent year, we requested to play a bigger drawing club we have history with (Collingwood) :eek::eek::eek:

Fragile egos on this board

You come in here and tell us we're the smallest and I've proven you incorrect. Just take the L and move on.

Yes the AFL does us no favours

Why on earth would we request to play Essendon over Collingwood

A question for your own club, perhaps. You clearly have no idea of the answer and don't want to listen to any of our theories.

Well I imagine the recent practice match where they beat us plus their 2 zip start multiplied by their 150th celebration equals why they're up and about a bit.

Strange game that one.

Got bullied around the contest but in general play we moved the ball well once we took possession and created enough looks to kick a winning score.

Despite their dominance at the coalface the damage inflicted post clearance was negible as our defensive structures were sound, didn't allow them to transition the ball uncontested into their i50 from kick-ins/fwd half stoppages and they only managed +1 shots on goal with +9 i50's.

Their goals in the 2nd qtr came from free kicks (both outside 50) and floating snaps from i50's stoppages and only one came from a contested mark.

To put it into perspective, Perkins kicks our final score for the game 10 minutes into the last qtr, the scoreboard was 3.14 to 9.2 with St. Kilda +25 in contested possessions at that stage.
