Threads up a little late but that just means the game is closer!

Should be a good game! Go Saints!

H Block?

How many of us are braving the weather and the feral supporters to head to the 'G tonight?

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

Nope sorry - going to watch from the comfort of my warm dry feral-free living room!!

I don't go to Collingwood and Richmond matches due to the ferals - especially when we're rebuilding as a club and absolutely when its putrid weather!!

Been stuck at uni all day. How's the weather looking?

I'll be there. Hopefully don't get soaked.

I think there are meant to be showers for much of the game. It's raining at my place now, but that is about an hour away from the 'G.

I'm about 2km from the G and it hasn't stopped raining for about an hour and a half. Radar looks like it'll stop soon and should be fine for the game tho.

 

[aussierulesrules]

I'll be there with bells (or at least Saints colours) on, as per usual. Pumped for it. Massively winnable if we line up as named.

Their s**t ground hasn't even got a roof. Stuff that

Brad Scott likes this.

 

[Superduperouzel]

Hoping for a really good game from Billings. Huge fan of the kid. After his interrupted pre season
I look forward to him regaining confidence and putting in some blinding performances. Hopefully tonight.

 

[SK_MD_#7]

a win would be brilliant.

Come on boys!

GO THE MIGHTY SAINTERS

 

[holllywood]

Going there with a Collingwood supporting mate.

Have stated we will watch the crowd for laughs.

Saints by 12.

 

[mysainters]

Undercover, what's my luck turning up about 6.30?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Steven is the one who I reckon might be due tonight. Very interrupted preseason I believe and worked up to fuller game time as the NAB Challenge went on and ought to now be much closer to full fitness.

Some interesting stats from the Hun:

Almost 70% of our total score this year has come from opposition turnovers- the highest percentage of any side.

-Turnovers created- 65 (6th in the league)
-Points from turnovers- 63.5 (1st)
-Forward half turnovers- 22.5 (6th)
-Points from forward half turnovers- 40 (1st)

On the flip-side, Collingwood:

-Committed the 4th most turnovers in the league last year and have committed the 2nd most of any side this year so far. However they have conceded a score from just 16% of these turnovers, ranked equal 2nd.

-Collingwood has been thrashed on the outside this season. They have recorded 57 fewer uncontested possessions and 54 fewer uncontested marks than their opposition- both ranked 18th.

Watching the 2010 gf replay on fox now.. and the stkilda army roar on goal is sending shivers up my spine... where did they all go?

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

This reminds me that u can make grand finals with McQualters and Robert Eddys.. but you need Goddards and Lenny Hayeses

 

[CursingFijian]

If Roo doesn't come up and McCartin kicks 5 on debut the match committee would be stuffed next week I reckon...

But if you look at Hawthorn they don't really have any of those kind of players. The reason we didn't win a flag IMO was because our fringe players weren't as good as Geelong/Collingwood.

I wonder if Roo doesn't come up and the weather so wet they may overlook Paddy for Eli, the ball will be on the ground a hell of a lot.

Or possibly minch? Was he in the emergencies?

I think it was TC Eli & Paddy

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Didnt minch have like 30 posessions 7 tackles 4 goals type of game last week

Bit of mystery there because he hasn't been named in Sandy side either
