In keeping with the Rocky theme I just tried to upload the theme song from the original Rocky movie with the idea of Patty Voss in the Sylvester Stallone role.

He’d have to be thinking “let me at em boys”.

Anyone know how to upload that Bill Conti song?
 
Don't know about everyone else but my mind has been Freo-flooded more than usual.

May be the 5-wins or the 10-day break but I'm trying not to think about how much I want us to beat the Aints tomorrow and prove we're a semi-real threat this year.

I really hope for a 45k+ turnout tomorrow as well. Yes it's a Sunday arvo game and not great for the regionals but we're on a roll, the weather is dry and we haven't had a proper weekend (not counting Norf) home game in 5 weeks.

I remember in 2022 we were cracking the 50k mark at home games towards the end of that season and we should be pulling out the same.

Need to see how we go against the Hawks/Pies. That two game stretch will tell use more than the 6 games prior.

Saints should be a regulation win.

We might as well pack up and go on holidays if we drop this one. Time to start building towards finals.

I'm glad that most of our poor performers from last game have been dropped. I will be keenly watching for improved performance from Darcy and Fyfe, defensive identity is present all game, and our forwards are working as a unit.

Continued good health is always hoped for as well! We should be fresh as coming off a ten day break.
 
We have the slowest ball movement in the comp which is death against a Ross Lyon side. It's what makes Lyon a particularly bad matchup for JL. It's not just our pressure and contested footy that needs an improvement from the last time we met but what we do with the footy when we get it. No sideways chipfest please, go fast and direct and give treacy and co as many 1 on 1's as possible and we'll romp home. Having someone like NOD back should definitely help in that area.
Bang on.

What’s worse lyons defensive tactics and by extension jlos counter to them is in fact to entice exactly that (go slow)

It’s still imo a major flaw in jlos tactics that needs to be further refined and minimised
It’s just too difficult to execute consistently under AFL pressure, especially when we simply don’t have the no where near the overall skill and experience to pull it iff

The saints have been decidedly average outside a couple of one offs here and there (typical of a struggling Lyon coached side ) but it’s no surprises they are still the only side still to have lost to WC this year- who play a typical go fast almost at any cost (tigers) like game plan
 
Do we boo Henry or just be happy he us no longer on our list?

Just watched Murphy Reid kick the ball to Sean Darcy at about 170 degrees behind him, Murphy moving away with the ball, snapped it and hit Darcy on the chest nearly behind him without turning around.

Some people just have the knack don't they?
