Hopefully not thrashed, but gently caress we've got nothing strong up front.

At least the Pies are finding it as hard to kick it between the big sticks as we are.

Grandstand are not impressed with the skill level at all. You know its a poo poo game when even ABC callers are embarrassed about it.

Jack Billings needs to gently caress off and learn how to kick a set shot. It's pathetic.

"oh no its Jack Billings" but at least they seem to be realizing that putting pressure on the Pies does yield results, just by pulling their finger out.

Anyone have any idea why the umpire called play on to Roo while he was still on the ground after a marking contest?

he took a juggled contested mark and the guy on top of him almost knocked it out of his hands after a few seconds on the ground and it was called play on, it was really stupid and worse than last night's

Over the last 3 weeks the Saints have kicked 36 goals and 57 points.

Has an entire team ever got the goal kicking yips before? Normally it's just one player that gets them but this is becoming too strong of a trend to ignore.

They've only come up against one top 8 contender. They do look good though.

Geelong did for a while during 2008 and 2009. Especially if Mooney was in the forward line

Cheers to MUYB for the watch AFL hookup.

Couldn't get it to work on the train but logged on once I checked in.
I logged in and hit watch from start and the loving preview image was a live shot! Then it started from the start.....

In short, good win Tigs.

Finally got home from the Saints game. So many behinds yet again. At least Billings got a lot of the ball and did some good stuff during the third where we won it, but missing like that is pretty woeful. Same goes for Dunstan. I can count the number of times I remember him kicking a set shot on one finger. Acres was good again. And Seb Ross. And Roberton. And Carlisle. And Geary, of course. Man of the match.

We have to kick straight one day, right?
