Game Day Round 7 - Longer vs Hardery

[Manhattan Bronx]

Will be interesting to see how we perform tonight. Confident we'll give it a crack, but Saints will win.

Saints by 28.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

It will be good to see us go against a highly structured, defensive team and see how we go.

 

[sobrave]

saints by 200 points and kern sacked before midnight tonight

 

[Prison bar Pete]

My son's going over for the game with his Saints fan mate. My son is in for a ton of ribbing I fear. Saints by 18 (conservatively).

 

[Coobk001]

The Saints have that intangible momentum at the moment.

Performing above expectations

Sitting top of the ladder

It all equates to an on-edge home crowd, that'll create an atmosphere which will intimidate us, send us back into our shells, and enhance that nervous energy when we're under pressure.

At some point in the game I'd predict they'll kick 3-4 quick goals, with a bit of a run on, under all that momentum, and that'll be the difference. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens very early, and it'd be odds on to happen in the first half. We've shown these sides that come out with a ferocious pressure and strong defensive gameplans can break us down early as we are the type of team that needs to 'work' into games with our complacent attitudes and slower players. So if we are ahead or within a few points at half time we'll actually be a chance.

Prediction - Saints lead after First by 15 points, win by 19.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

I haven't watched the Saints much so far his season apart from the Collingwood GR game.
But who would of thought they would become a benchmark side in 2023 just because of one person.

It'll be another Hinkleyball hackfest.
Saints to kick away early, to finish with a 4 goal win.

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

How many goaless quarters. The line sitting at -1.5

 

[PowerBaz]

Glass a red and screaming at the tv occasionally. Good way to spend a Friday.

 

[RossFC]

The last time we played a Friday night game vs St Kilda at Docklands was in 2000.

St Kilda were winless after 10 rounds, and we got belted by 10 goals.

 

[raptalia]

Longer v Hardery eh. What weight division is it?

Suddenly many of us are confident that we can beat the Saints. To do so we will need to play more than one quarter like we did last week. Over three quarters last week we outscored the second to bottom side by nine points on our home deck.

Players like Wines, Bergmann, Rioli and Duursma need to lift. Wines is getting enough of the footy but he is not doing enough with it.

[Sewer de Lance]

I had a dream last night that DBJ soccered a goal through with only seconds remaining, all the players put their arms up in collective jubilation, yet we still lost by 3 goals.

Port by 3 points after Ollie Lord kicks his 7th from 45m out on the boundary after the final siren.

St Kilda are the Newcastle of the AFL, Port are the Tottenham Hotspur.

Not sure where you got that idea from

Whoever it is you are not allowed to call him a WOG these days. The thought police are everywhere. I think Western Oriental Gentleman is still OK.

You might even be on dangerous ground with 'frak' as fraking upsets the green lobby.

If anyone knows who Cheese is and what the WOG is can you please share?

McEntee = Mac&Cheese = The Cheese

 

[philreich]

I've tipped the Saints, but it actually wouldn't surprise me if we pull this one off. Heard a crazy stat this morning - apparently we've won 11 of the last 12 against this mob, with their 1 win being the 12:1 miracle a few years ago.

Yep can see all of ^ unfolding, aided and abetted by our usual rogering from the umps. I'll be watching Ollie Lord with interest.

Unpopular opinion but Brynn wasn't as bad last week as some make out. Let's not forget he's only played a handful of games.

 

[Doctor Feel]

McEntee = Mac&Cheese = The Cheese

Or, if you are being a bit fancy. The Provolone.
