Round 3: Collingwood Vs St Kilda MCG

[Wild Bill]

Kids 1st game in the wet and posters want to have a crack??? 5 years time is when judgement should come.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Saints brought back to earth tonight.

Surprised they havent had a crack at Riewoldt either for being "soft"

 

[saintkildaman]

In Paddy's credit he never stopped trying despite dropping a few sitters and his effort in particular some of his 2nd efforts were impressive.

 

[hutchy31]

77 inside 50s. Jesus Christ.

 

[Wild Bill]

Saints brought back to earth tonight.

Happened last year - won their 1st two and then fell in a hole. They are a big chance again for the spoon.

 

[Sam95]

Care to suggest who we would have played to replace Roo instead at such short notice? You don't draft, or in your case, buy a number 1 draft pick to let him sit in the reserves.

Spencer white ?

 

[J_Moore]

That's what people were saying in 2003 and 2007 even and look what happened in the space of a few years both times. Sorry we cannot just buy all the players we need with a higher cap, so takes us a little longer then most to rebound

Keep up mate. The narrative now is we're spending all that on Franklin and Tippett rather than sharing it round the list.

 

[NathanMX]

Spencer white ?

Spencer White hurt his ankle last weekend in the VFL, not sure he would have been game fit for this one.

 

[Roo Lives Again]

The Saints need to do some serious slippery ball practise. Perhaps go down the local gay bar and get some better ball handling skills? atrocious tonight, absolutely atrocious.

 

[Kappa]

I didn't expect your 28 year old 800k a year CHF to miss shots from 20 out but hey what do you do.

If McCartin turns out half as good as Cloke the Saints would take it

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Hame looks like he was trapped in a solarium.

 

[12Chill]

Bunch of nuff nuffs judging key forwards on their first game. Pretty sure Jono Brown didn't register a disposal. Cam Mooney and Nick Riewoldt just 3 disposals. Tex 5 disposals. A wet night, terrible delivery and first game nerves, not ideal for a KPFs first game.

 

[Maddo11]

The fact that Goodes never gets brought up for his bullshit knees first efforts is galling.

Apart from that time he got suspended for it

 

[NathanMX]

So half as good as Nick Riewoldt then and slightly better but not as clumsy as Kosi?

 

[Dizzy Stuff]

That Billy Elliot can really play.

 

[The King!]

Be upset if we lose to either of those sides

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

If McCartin turns out half as good as Cloke the Saints would take it

If you are going to judge a key forward in the wet for his first game then you are a colossal anus of the highest order.

McCartin will be better then Cloke and you know that.

 

[Adam H]

If McCartin turns out half as good as Cloke the Saints would take it

He has every chance of being that and better. Tough gig without Roo out there tonight and a wet night. Looks imposing.

If you think McCartin will definitely be better than Cloke you are a colossal anus of the highest order.

No one knows how good McCartin will end up, but the only thing for certain is that was an extremely disappointing start.

Just hope for Saints sack he isn't another pick 1 bust (which is actually pretty common) because it's a long long rebuild coming.

 

[94_Eagles]

Cloke speaks as well as he kicks

Really?

That's your angle?

 

[J_Moore]

The fact that Goodes never gets brought up for his bullshit knees first efforts is galling.

Except he was suspended for it (interestingly enough, going into a contest with a guy who also slid in with his knees, but hey) and people talked about it endlessly.

 

[si tacuisses]

I didn't expect your 28 year old 800k a year CHF to miss shots from 20 out but hey what do you do.

Never change.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Yeah

At least they have some good youngsters coming through.

 

[Confuscius]

Wet conditions, midfield belted and our best forward and player missing. Did some ok things but it's hard to expect a lot from him tonight.
