Preview NAB 3: Saints vs Hawks

[hayes]

unfortunately i dont think they will
They dont play again for 2 weeks and their other Nab Cup games were a little half arsed.
They are full on tonight.

Whyyyyy why us? What did we do to them? God I look forward to the day we start doing this to teams.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

The single ruck strategy is a flop as well and removes Bruce, one of the better performing forwards from being a forward target. Membrey really not offering much at this stage. I would have loved to see Holmes instead of Schneider, working tandem with Hickey. Leave Bruce forward. Bring Pierce on in the second and spell Hickey to manage his loads.

But all the teams will be doing it, no one will be using a bench spot so that two players can have 50% game time

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Let's look at the positives..

Hopefully none of our players bet on us losing tonight (or winning for that matter).

uhmm errr????
The grass looks in good nick

Looks like Wright and Montagna have come off injured.
Anyone know what happened to Montagna?

BLOODY HELL!!!! AFL live Stream The Sahara desert has streams that flow better than this

 

[hayes]

Hickey is our best ruckman by the length of the straight.

Where would we be without your puns Snake?

 

[Mowman]

Weller has given 100% all night, has not stopped trying

 

[Plugger35]

Well Hickey has been one positive, hopefully he can stay injury free.

Would be nice if we could keep the margin below 100 points.

Lonie needs to have games smashed into him! Love this kid!

 

[Rors]

Jack Lonie is a little wrecking ball! Awesome to watch this kid attack!

 

[Verdun66]

Great on field lesson we are getting. You couldn't replicate it in training. Am sure our coaches will use the experience as a real teaching opportunity. You have to think some good will come out of this.

New 'optimistic me' speaking there......

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

Geez Dwayne Russell you are f**king terrible commentator. What about the smother by Lonie and the follow up. No it was some dodgy handball on the boundary line. There are two teams out there.

Don't mind the effusive praise re Cyril for exmaple as he is that special but geez cmon....

Are there any decent commentators out there in TV land? Not that many me thinks...

Actually Eddie Everywhere is a pretty good commentator when he's not calling the Pies....

Jack Steven's moustache - epic fail

Disgraceful

 

[saintkildaman]

Schnieder still has so much class.

Didnt realize that was a moe lol thought he copped a fist on the top lip

 

[hayes]

How can you reward players who throw their arm up to get a free.

 

[Verdun66]

Mine

[Rors]

Is Blake Acres playing tonight or is he rested?

 

[Grav]

Great learning experience for all our young players, as can be expected, as we are not supposed to be peaking 'til about 2018. Games like these although hard for us supporters are a must for young up & comers, imagine as a 20yo playing on the likes Hodge, Mitchell, Rioli, Roughhead, Lake & co. They can & will only improve.So let's (although hard) keep our heads up & give the boys the support they need & requir.

 

[Munga]

Geez Derm, you can't have a three team monopoly. And Dwayne, "snuck" isn't a word.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

The Hawthorn bias from the commentary personnel is nauseating.
