Brissie Lions look to have got a good one in Eric Hipwood. So skinny at the moment but did well against quality defenders yesterday.

Pretty sure he is the kid who's parents were Saints fanatics and got married at Linton st.

How about the Dennis Armfield show?

More the question how did we let spud players like Matt Crouch kill us

Carlton have the ability to make their opposition play as sh1t as they do.

Matt Crouch is a spud? Not sure I agree with that.

Can find ball. Cant kick ball.

go norf, cant stand west coast biggest bunch of ducking diving flogs in the afl

 

[George]

North the only chance we have to leapfrog into the eight, hope the Eagles win it!

 

[Saintos The ITK]

I just changed channels despite Mayne playing when I realised it is an Eagles home game.

 

[Choomah]

hard to believe west coast gave up a first rounder for that hack wellingham

There's a team called Geelong you might want to have a look at

Sounds similar to a lot of our guys, although he finds the footy more than any of our young fella's. He's not the perfect package but he's just turned 21.

Dogs are an unbelievable contested ball winning side but ranked 10th for scoring. Shades of Fremantle when they were up and about.

I dare say that stat would improve dramatically if Murphy & Johannisen were fit all year

I guess his 24 handballs on the weekend must have been OK.

 

[Choomah]

ablett out for the rest of the season bloke has had a horrid run

 

[St Kilda Death]

And your point is?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

And your point is?

He's found a way to get around not being able to kick the ball.

Who's forward line would you rather, Adelaide or Hawthorn? Tex, Eddie, Jenkins, Lynch vs Gunston, Breust, Cyrul, Puopolo (no roughy included)

The stats show Adelaide's forward line is absolutely remarkable for the limited inside 50's that the midfield produces. They seem to have great chemistry and spacing, and Betts is probably the best small forward in the game.

On the other hand, the combination of potency, skill and pressure of the hawthorn forwards is maybe the best I've ever seen. Their smalls are unbelievably good at tapping/knocking the ball on and have great Footy IQ.

I love them both but I think I'd just take the Hawks forward line over the crows but want to hear others' thoughts?

Have to go Hawks. They kick plenty of goals but pressure they put on is better than anyone which gives them the edge for mine.

Best thing about them though is they never miss. From memory they've been #1 for conversion since Buddy left.

I'll bet Boyd learnt heaps from that suspension...

 

[Dr Spaceman]

I'll bet Boyd learnt heaps from that suspension...

He may be in the team this week, but is he actually playing AFL?

 

[TheBalls]

Boyd will be looking to add to his tally of 5 goals in 4 games this weekend.

It only takes Membrey a couple of hours to kick 5 goals.
