To save an argument, could be an idea to actually create a spoiler thread.

Possibly, but really, this thread should serve that purpose. If you're watching on delay, steer clear.

The part that came one line after it.

Please, do you really think that was good enough warning.

When you scroll down a page, you see more than one line at a time.

Also, why was there a need to post it.

If you don't want to know a result, why are you looking at this thread?

Yes, it's not rocket science, is it?

Easy fixed.

Fantastic win by the Saints.

Agreed. Their best win in living memory IIRC.

Re: Round 3 Games

Pretty impressive win by the Saints.

Collingwood have looked pretty ordinary in the last two weeks. I wish they played like this against us. They really did take full advantage of being able to study us for 3-4 weeks IMO.

Saints/Geelong still better than the rest.

Agreed, although Saints minus Riewoldt might need to be re-assessed.

We now need to establish our credentials over a few difficult rounds.

Gutsy win by the Saints, though.

It was a solid win, considering that they had their rotations significantly reduced, with one being clearly their best player, and Fisher pretty important too. Really demonstrated how good their structure and defensive systems are.

Certainly wasn't the prettiest game of football, but I genuinely think the Saints play a pretty ugly style, dour and defensive, and often just try to move the ball forward at any cost. Will be interesting to see how they cope without their best player making and creating the play in the forward half.



Collingwood simply didn't look very threatening, and I'd like to think we'll beat them comfortably later in the year.

Dreadful performance by the Pies. They could not have had the cards fall their way any more on the night and they simply curled up their toes in the 2nd half. Any match against the Pies that involves a consistent application of defensive pressure across the ground and their players go to water. I can't remember any shootout style finals in the last few seasons, so the Pies better learn some new tricks if they are to consider themselves a genuine top-tier contender.

Excellent performance by the Saints. Weathered the storm in the 1st half and then cranked up a gear defensively, and despite the numerical disadvantage on the bench, blew the Pies away. They are the benchmark in 2010 IMO.

Looks like Brisbane could be without Clarke, McGrath(suspension) and Black(injury) next week. Bu they will get back Brennan.

I have the extreme misfortune of having Swans v Tigers on FTA TV.

Tigers' performance is the worst I've seen in living memory (having watched two quarters).

Re: Round 3 Games

Anyone watch the Lions game? Sounds like they are playing very well.

They were very good and Port were ordinary.

They couldn't possibly be worse than last week, could they?
