Bring on the Sainters

[bloodboy]

We played poorly tonight - really got out of jail. We are due for a big game - Bazz is due for a massive game - bring on the Sainters!

Anyone know the injury situations on the Saints??? I have been to focussed on our game thus far to really take notice...

Hmmm? "Waiting balls" and "Big Sticks" What was he doing playing footy?

Hey get rid of my post above as well!

[bloodboy]

yeah - sorry bro - I noticed somebody had just posted about the article about 15 micro seconds after I finished...the quote from the article I was orginally going to mention can be found here

We need to improve a million percent to win next week! That was pathetic.

The only players who can hold their head up are Davis, Kirk, Crouch, and perhaps Barry and Mathews (and maybe Ball).

Hall, Goodes, O'Keefe, Ablett, J Bolton, Schneider, Buchanan, and Bevan were crap.

Crouchy was absolutely awesome tonight...probably the best game I have ever seen him play. He was taking hit left, right and centre and still racking up the possies!

Bevan didn't get much of a chance but when he did he fumbled alot (but then so did alot of other players) Jude is really having a bad run at the moment and needs to lift! I'd want to talk to him if I was on the coaching panel - maybe tell him to relax abit as he is alot better than he has been showing - Has he got something on his mind?

Unless our plan was to lull St Kilda into a false sense of security - they'll certainly be overwhelming favourites now, this is our great chance to avenge that drawn game at Docklands in 2002 when the Saints put on the ultra-flood. I'm sure we will not play that badly again - I hope!

I reckon the Saints hierarchy would have been planning to play Geelong up to mid way through the last quarter - Really sorry that they have to start their planning all over again. Regardless, it really will be a very hard game to win as both teams seem to be close top full strength and their week off will be good for some of their players carrying niggling injuries.

Well, Grant Thomas was at the game so I don't think he would have got too much planning done between all the yelling. The rest of the Saints were at Thomas' house watching the game...I wonder how the wife and 2000 kids coped with having all of those rough heads in their house at one time!

We are definites for next week because we can't play any worse than today. Fumbles, dropped chest marks, shocking kicks, poor shooting for goal - I still can't comprehend how we got out of that one.

I see jude as our biggest problem atm. add to that ablett, and we have some concerns. Oh yeah, did I mention Hall, OMG

[NMWBloods]

Yep - Hall, J Bolton, Ablett, O'Keefe and Goodes. Also, pace of the game will really test a few players like Buchanan, LRT and Dempster.

At least the odds will be good at the TAB this week...

the bar would have been padlocked to keep the G train out
