[Rod Stroker]

Saints should win comfortably.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Ratten effect will have the Saints improve this year starting with this game

 

[projectv]

Max King set to debut!! I can't wait!

I'd like to think we have the talent to win this game, but we've only beaten North twice in like 9 years, so really anything could happen.

 

[WillHayward]

Quick dig at the AFL website

Since when is a bloke who has played 50 AFL games for the same club making a 'debut'?

I think they mean debut since you know, how he almost died.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Yep all the pressure on the Saints.

Geez you would think that anyone at the moment who has those type of symptoms needs to be sat down and isolated until a test can be done.

 

[Engimal v3]

North to steamroll the Saints. 60-70 points.

 

[Moquo]

Yep all the pressure on the North.

Fair enough

But its not a 'debut' if he plays a game.

 

[parano1a]

The start time of this game has been changed to 1.05pm AEDT.

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

This is a completely pessimistic matchup both sets of fans have been through that much that they expect the worst, week in week out.

 

[HarryZLA]

Yep all the pressure on the Saints.

Already given up on the season? Already huge underdogs against a team that came 14th last season? Ooft..

 

[Bigeasy]

Saints look small in defence so if the midfield battle is even, I think the Roos will win

We've left Battle out despite no Carlisle which is interesting, doesn't seem like we're worried about a smaller defense.

Very strange considering we have Brown and Larkey. Wilkie may have to pick up one of them?

 

[The Warlord]

Teams fancied to have improve in the pre-season have been belted first up so far, so interesting to see how this goes.

 

[windyhill]

Saints should win comfortably.

Reverse psychology so over rated.

 

[Ricmel]

Very strange considering we have Brown and Larkey.

Agree. I would have thought with Ben Brown a potential matchwinner, North was one team that at least one of Carlisle or N.Brown gets a start. Not sure what plan B is if either Brown or Larkey gets off the leash.

 

[The Warlord]

Bloody would be heading off to the ground soon if it weren't for the Chinese Government (actually Grey Aliens) releasing weaponised Wubonic Palgue to crash the US economy (run by nephilim lizardmen who live in the centre of the Hollow Earth).

 

[projectv]

Very strange considering we have Brown and Larkey. Wilkie may have to pick up one of them?

I was quite confused as well. At first I assumed that Ben Brown was not playing, but once I saw the team sheets.... ugh.. no Nathan Brown, Carlisle or Battle? Ben is going to kick a bag.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Toss of the coin game really . Could go either way.

Saints by 2 points, but it wouldn't surprise me if North had a comfortable win, they are a very dangerous opponent at Docklands.

Feel like many have slept on The Roos, got some great kids to go with some decent vets and a potent forward line.

Their backline does worry me a lot though and the addition of Brad Hill gives the Sainters the edge for me today. But North have the better long term future, more pieces to build a flag window than St Kilda.

 

[The Warlord]

Three weeks ago when JZ, Tarrant,Polec and Brown were all very iffy, I was worried if not despondent.

Now, not confident,but not despondent

 

[juss]

I thought Saints should be slight favourite here, not sure what I'm missing.
