    Top crowd too. Well done AFL
    Have I missed something or do Saints actually think Billings name should be even mentioned with the Bont's?
    Bontempelli could retire now and will have had a better career than a Billings 10+ year career. Billings is a handy player but c'mon sainters, be serious.
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

      Nope. It will somehow be our fault that the two shitkicker clubs the AFL insisted play this game couldn't draw a cloud. Everything is always our fault. Either that or we get punished for it.

      It can't continue to go on like this. The AFL commission will end up running the competition into dust. You could even argue that they have run it into the dust with the state of grass roots footy and Tasmanian football.

      If footy dies in Tasmania then the game dies, it's as simple as that. Tassie provides players, supporters and money to cash strapped Victorian clubs (personally I think that Hawthorn continuing to take millions to play a couple of games there while Tasmanian football crumbles is pretty much the same thing as taking money from poker machines but anyway) and if that section of the infrastructure of footy collapsed I can't see Victoria, SA and WA filling in the gap.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Tom Lynch just destroyed the Blues and our man Jonesy.

        Jones still somehow looked better in having 8 hung on him than Weitering did, who is probably unselectable next week. He's just about the softest player in the league and can't get near it right now.

              Only listening to fragments of radio commentary while doing other things.

              What things are the Pies doing today that are much better than us last week?

                1%'s.

                They are just having a crack, chasing, tackling and all the unglamorous stuff that we just ignored last week.

                They wont win but at least they are 'earning' their wage this week. As a fan thats all you can ask.

                  Trying, and not impersonating witches hats.

                  To be fair though, the Great Waste of Space have an irrational fear of playing at the MCG - it is their Kryptonite.

                    This! They are putting the Giants under pressure. By hanging in there they give them selves a chance. Our guys last week were pathetic in comparison.

                            He’s useless, head isn’t in it.

                            Close and reasonably entertaining game, Dockers up 50-43 just before half time.

                                Geez Luke Hodge is finished. He looks like Matty Boyd did last year, only fatter.
