due.

I’m feeling pretty confident our system and method gets us over the line in the end.

To be honest I’m a little checked out on the actual result and our ladder position (that may change if we continue to climb up).

BUT, I am really looking forward to another opportunity to watch Windy run through the middle, Hastie grow into his role and Hugo lay another 10 tackles.

It will also be good to see Paton put the clamps on again.

Saints by 24 I think.

Time to get our boys on the juice, win every game, self report, then get stripped of points and stroll into that number 1 draft pick.
That's how the pro clubs do it..

Whoever gets the Weddle matchup will be on the juice…pickle juice that is. Great runner.

I’m hoping our foot skills mean we really take advantage of the larger ground, and can get some good connection with our forwards.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Just trying to think of the last time we put four quarters together and really dominated a team all game for a big percentage boosting win?

 

[EddieMurphy]

Yay it's Smack the Dawk Clowns day! Isn't it?

I just keep expecting us to put it together at some point this year. Like the Pies game where we managed probably 3/4 good quarters.

Am I somehow still blindly optimistic this far into my saints supporting life?

I am really excited to see Henry back in the side. He was so good to watch in his first two games and I wonder if he can provide that same spark.

 

[ERMAHGERD]

Kicking over 100 points again woule be nice

 

[BrutThough]

Looking forward to seeing Henry play again. Was so important the first two rounds.

 

[Saintbloke]

Few and far between

 

[jumperfan]

Never sure what to expect from Hawthorn, they could beat us by 20-30 points or they could get blown out of the water in the first 10 minutes.

2009?

Just allow players to juice, imagine the spectacle! Game’s best players in absolute peak physical condition, less injures and all round better product for the AFL. 100 goal kickers will be back

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

2009?

We even took the foot off the pedal against the Tigers in 2017 when it looked like we could break some records at half time.

Lets hope

Waddle vs Wilson

It would be a marathon with a footy

Spot on. Saints by 24 goals.

 

[Sainter1873]

Henry might be rusty but I’m excited to see him back. Speed and class. Wood and Webster will have blown the cobwebs away. King should be licking his lips. Paton deserves his spot and hopefully goes well.

Let’s hope for a strong start. A couple of early goals will ease the nerves.

It’s been a while but doesn’t seem to happen much these days. Have a look at Port last night. Admittedly the Hawks are a different prospect to the Cats but momentum seems to ebb and flow in most games.
Just give me consistency across four quarters and win each quarter. Shoukd see us win pretty confortably.

 

[TheNewEnsign]

If Paton can lock Bruest down we honestly should get this done in a canter - I didn't realise they had Chol and Lewis out, and weren't bringing CJ back to AFL level (I don't know how long he was injured for).

The interesting watch will be Wilson - today will be the best look we've had this year at a RtB style 'take them to the deep end' with Wood, Hill and Wilson. Could see another huge final quarter from D'Arcy if Hawks run out of legs and have to focus on Hill/Wood.

 

[Cairnsman]

This is the prequal to the showdown with the Tasmanian Devils and Northern Territory Saints...anyone?

But I digress into a bit of mischievousness to kick off game day.

Should win this, Sicily being out tips it in our favour, and Henry coming back should really add the zip we need.

Things I'll be watching out for is how Windy and Henry perform around the ball together which is hopefully like they did in the Pies game.

Other thing I'll be watching for is that big lump of a spud in the forward line to grit his teeth and be man and put his big girl undies on and give us a glimpse of what a Coleman medalist might look like in the RW&B.

 

[bergholt]

I’m probably an idiot but feeling 0% worried about this one. Should be any easy win even if we make hard work of it in patches.
