Big match for us, hoping for a good game as we have had the wood on the saints for the last couple of matches.

Jones out is a huge loss, watson needs to have a massive night or Stanton..no tag to deal with it appears.

Great to see Jones out as i was resigned to watson being held very closely . But in saying that we need all our players to lift esp the likes of Mcveigh , stanton and prismall.
Go the mighty Dons !!!

i really think we can win this one tough game for them last week and im not all that convinced that they are going that well, us on the other hand seem to go through 4-6 week periods were we are good or ugly i think the ugly is behind and we can finish off the season well by gabbing this one 13 points welcome back david hille

Was worried about this game but with Jones out and no Baker, I'm pencilling in a win.
sup guys. Spoilers will be said in here so Victorians might want to stay away from here on in.
Ryder goal in the forward line. Fair to say Hille back makes us a 3-4 goal better team? Lonergan in the midfield by the looks of GameDay live

Go dons!
Loving Hille back in the team.. and i would suggest so is Ryder.
I'm amazed we haven't screwed ourselves by kicking heaps of behinds...plenty of time to do it though...

wow. just wow.
Does Hille make our team a 15 goal better side?.. :P
Go Bombers, do us a big favour
How we managed to make the finals last season without Hille still has me bewildered tbh.

I don't understand how Houli can't get a regular gig? My source tells me his heading off to GWS..
Gumby broken rib
Well 'least it wasn't a hammy or a back problem

Damn, this might ruin his chance at Styne's record.

Good to see Houli showing them he should have been in the 22 from round 1. Giving the pies and the suns a good show for their recruitment departments.

Gumby back out there.
Well uh, Gumby with an unbroken rib!
Gumby is just a big green squishy thing. He cant 'break'!

This is not happening...is it?

It is happening.
Nightmare one week, fairytale the next (edit, oh yeah, and a good win vs North in between). What an excruciating experience.

Impressed with Hardingham again. Good to see it wasnt just a one off.

30 Jul 2010, 21:36
haha Hurley treats kosi like a rag doll.

Re-sign Houli now.
Hopefully we can get this margin up to 70-80 rather than having them get it down to 20-30...

We'll have to create a "sign Knights until 2014" Facebook page if this continues!
Good win tonight. Game still going but obviously no way back.
Let's hear Kelvin Sheedy's (and his ras) rant about Knights this week. flogs

whats pretty funny is everyone was demanding for houli to be in, he gets in a does fantastic... apparently the critics were right in his case lol
Holy heart failure, batman, what happened tonight??????????
what a good win lol
how can we play like we did 2-3 weeks ago to this?
Well done fellas, definitely got the wood over us.
You guys seem to take calculated risks against us, and I think a lot of the credit has to go to your under-pressure coach.

Some massive positives tonight I think
Fletcher - What a player, 34.. Could play another 3 years :thumbsu:
Hurley - Is he a better backman, really impressive tonight
Prismall - Had the ball talking IMO, made really good decisions, was one of his best games in Red and Black
Houli - Everyone has already said it.. Must be a priority re-signing
Hille - Just so important to us
Hardingham - Reminds me of Russell Robertson.. Very impressive.. :thumbsu:
Gumby/Neagle - Both led up and presented beautifully, the work ethic was really impressive...
Riemers is a cringe to watch. One minute excting then next minute he does the inexplicable- just saw that play on and miss in the goalsquare on the telecast. That is a brain fart of Brian Lake proportions.
