Re: Round 6 - Other Matches

Tipped the Pies tonight by 28. Think they'll have enough. St. Kilda are struggling.

Re: Round 6 - Other Matches

About what everyone expected. Stkilda plucky and competitive.
Pies still struggling for mine, they turn on the intensity and them relax.
Thomas played his best game for the season.
Riewoldt's carrying that forward line, the loss of Hayes massive.
Good news for Stkilda is Kosi will get a holiday.
Dal Santo was awful, even after Watters put it to him.
Jack Steven and Armitage look good players. Collingwood have to work on their clearance work

How good has Riewoldt been through out his career. The amount of running he does up and down the ground is amazing.

I've always wondered how good he'd be as an Olympic runner?
The only problem is with his propensity to fall over with any contact he'd struggle.
Thought the pies got selection wrong with to many talls, as they needed more run from the start.

Pretty sure Scott Watters said late last year they were going to take the competition " Buy Storm"
Now they're " regenerating " not rebuilding . Hope they're not having a "Refresh"

Would you say Remi that in our development of youngsters that we are slightly ahead of St. Kilda.

Saints biggest problem is that they have 11 players that are 29 yrs plus compared to our 6. Of their 11, 2 are 33, another 32, 3 about to turn 31. Of our 6, 4 are about to turn 31.

They have a huge issue with their 11 older players that need replacing.

I think we're ahead of them. Their senior group runs deeper than ours, and they have Riewoldt.
I'm confused and I think they still think they're in denial. Juggernaut late last year to regenerate ( not rebuild) it just sends out mixed messages

We have been down before and have risen up so I expect that to happen for us again. St. Kilda need a rebuild rather than refresh. If we played them right now I reckon we could win.

Just saw some of the GWS Bombres.
Wouldn't be penciling in a win against the giants.

Intriguing game isn't it? Sometimes games like these remind me that at AFL level, the biggest factor can be confidence, and right now, GWS are playing with tonnes of it.

Re: Round 6 - Other Matches

I am enjoying seeing Essendon getting spanked so far. Yet they still got clapped off down the race from some of their supporters at half time. Very strange.

They're trying to show solidarity against the football world.

Re: Round 6 - Other Matches

A couple of pre seasons and they're going to be doing some serious pantsing.
