Enough time to grow his hair backEli is going to take a while, another two pre seasons. Like Montagna when he started out.
Demps 200th.. So there is this years reason to win against the Dorckers!
Roberton??? Can't be serious, I was at the game live, he looked very slow and cracked very easily under pressure combined with basic skill errors, very poor, did try and put it, but poorTempleton weak in the tackle - I know, bad injury, 2nd year player. Has lost his pace. Hope he bounces back.
Armo clearly tired or carrying an injury.
Sinclair again good, Roberton our best, then Dempster.
Hopefully Roo comes back so the kids can play more games with him this season.
They were exceptionally bad this week, anyone who was at the game and in a good viewing positon will agreeSo what? The umpires are s**t, they've always been s**t and always will be s**t. There's no need to ******* sook about it every single game.
Is one the home jumper and one the away? Perhaps they ran out of the correct ones. I've seen a post about this previously somewhere, wonder if it incurs some sort of penalty for being wrongly attired?I havnt read all the 'game day' or 'review' post's so im not sure if its already been mentioned.
But did anybody else notice that Port was wearing their jumper with the ENERGY AUSTRALIA logo on the front but Jay Schultz was wearing a jumper with the RENAULT logo on the front
Stood out like dogs balls cos one logo is green & the other is yellow.
Surely they are disqualified for wearing two diff jumpers
Not sure if it was shown on the TV broadcast, but the 50m penalty where the umpire got hit with the footy, at the ground a replay was shown of the umpire getting hit in the arm with the football, the arm he had help up to call out the 50m penalty, a split second before the same replay clearly shows both his hands raised signalling "play on". Not sure how a 50m penalty for being in the restricted area can be paid AFTER he has called play on?We've been screwed over by the umpires more than any other club the last few years though, the For and Against free kick stats back that up.
I get labelled a serial umpire whinger here but I wouldn't whinge as much if we got a decent run from the umpires and I certainly wouldn't complain about other Saints fans whinging about them either, if they screw us over we need to vent about it.
The umpires are part of the game, and now an even bigger part of the game these days thanks to the WWE style AFL entertainment show, so you can't blame people for talking about them, blame the bloody AFL for trying to make umpires a bigger part of their show.
After my rum review, now for my game review. I've never left a game early and very rarely do I turn off a TV game but yesterday was one. Crap disposal and decision making.
Dempster - champ AA
Geary - I'm sorry being "hards as a cats head" isn't enough - just ask Tom Simpkin.
Goddard - thank you Carlton
Sinclair -1st of many many times time he will get 20 possessions
Schneider - sorry time to go
Webster - one of our best kicks being asked to play defensive???
Newnes - getting better and better
Hickey - played the first half forward for one point. Better around the ground than Longer but not as good in the ruck - both fail to impact forward.

The last bit is what worries me. I'm hoping he's only in the team why we're developing.ive been a fan of Gears over the yrs.
Guy has a heart like a horse.
But unfortunately he has a kicking leg like a lame donkey.
Love the bloke but he just cant kick.
Cant see him being dropped/traded though.
Club obviously rate his other attributes very highly cos we keep making him skipper when Roo is out.
He's a hard player to judge is Gears.The last bit is what worries me. I'm hoping he's only in the team why we're developing.
I reckon that's part of the reason why we've got Webster playing such a defensive role so he can eventually take over from Geary.
Savage stands out like a shining light sometimes when we are butchering our kicks.You'd think eventually a back six of Goddard, Delaney, Lee, Savage, Roberton and Webster would prevail. At least four and probably five of those guys are good kicks.

Yes he does miss some targets but Webster is way down the list on clangers per game. around 80% DE for the seasonI do not get it about Webster, everyone states he is in the elite class kicker, ah sorry, he misses targets time and time again, against Port under limited pressure (none) he kicked out on the full to a clear free target. Just because he is a left footer does not make you elite and just because you kick it to Spencer White with Sandy as part of a highlights package does not make you elite. Luke Hodge is an elite kick from day 1 he was behind the ball for Hawks who were shocking back then as the quarterback because he was elite by foot. I just do not see it with Jimmy, must admit he has other attributes such as speed and really good one on one.
Have to wonder about Geers but he did get mark of the day with just a plain courageous mark early in the Port game. If we were more polished by foot then we could carry him, but when we need all the polish we can get to stay competitive you have to wonder. IMHO he is not going anywhere and will be a stalwart at the one club.
So your comparing him to Hodge - a #1 draft pick, club captain, 2-time Norm Smith medal winner & 2-time Premiership captain, 3-time Premiership winner, future hall of famer & arguably future 'legend' of the hall of fameI do not get it about Webster, everyone states he is in the elite class kicker, ah sorry, he misses targets time and time again, against Port under limited pressure (none) he kicked out on the full to a clear free target.
