We'll about to switch the channel the Saints knob gobbling wilt be brain inducing.

Don't drive home tonight mate.

Don't drive.

Saints had a lot of guys who were running hard both ways. Just overwhelmed GWS in the end.

 

[scatman john]

GWS haven't hit their straps yet and their ceiling is higher than anyone else IMO.
Maybe a bit of complacency crept in after they went so close to a GF last year and they thought it'd all come together this year through natural progression. If, big "if", Lids can get onto the park for the finals and be 80-90% fit, look out. Coniglio has just come back in, Whitfield to return.
I think they're cruising and Cameron needs to give them a serious rev up. I'm still on them to take it out.

Saints were great though. Full credit. They probably should be playing finals this year

How did Carlisle go?

Also was it Francis or Parish we ended up getting for him? or neither? (not that I'm worried as I reckon we win either way)

He was solid but made a few errors. Still working into it but he'll always be on the team sheet.

The pick we received from StK in exchange for Carlisle was used to get Francis

 

[GUMBLETRON]

But because of an academy bid it "looks" like the Parish pick, hence Saints nuffies obsessing over how they were always going to pick Gresham over him.

 

[Doss]

I still think of Parish as pick 4 and Francis as pick 5.

Mills distorted it.

 

[THOMO_31]

Yeah Carlisie defended pretty well. But panicked alot with the ball and some really rushed kicks out of defence which should of cost them alot more.

He's getting better each week. Will b huge for them later in the year.. u can just see he's starting to go for marks more which is his strength

Interesting thing about Carlisle is that, the maybe 8 quarters I have seen, I have not noticed any of the dominance in the air.

Wonder if it's a timing/confidence issue or structural.

 

[BrunoV]

Leon Cameron is essentially Buckley, by the way.

Sets his team up with almost no regard for an opposition or the way in which his team's weaknesses can be exploited.

Yeah i agree. Went for a few and clunked a couple against the hawks when they were smashing them. Think its a confidence thing. Timing could b a lil off too with the year out

Knew there was a reason Murdoch was involved in that Trump thing. FFS now pay tv will get everything. Flogs

Yeah, not impressed with the canning of media diversity laws there. It's the end of FTA as we used to know it - live sport is pretty much all they've got left.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Eh, we're <10 years off direct internet broadcast from the league becoming the norm.

Live sport is all paytv has left as well

Saints pressure and heart was the difference in the end.

Also true. VOD ftw!

 

[rumply]

really tempted to change from the Pies to Blues after hearing Wells is out & with a wet game likely but seeing that Jack Silvagni is out & Dale Thomas is in (), gotta stick with the Pies, zero confidence though.

 

[raskolnikov]

I have a feeling North may upset Adelaide today.

 

[Posmojack]

Wish me luck, might not get out of here alive

Good to hear but the way I read it they can still advertise before 8:30pm during regular programming ie non sporting stuff? & then there's the infiltration into youtube etc. Just as big tobacco did, they'll still find a way to target the young until it's banned outright.

solid start, edit, great start
