This Year's AFL Premiers

[GumbyLearner]

lol, it don't matter unless you win in the last week in Sept. I believe the Saints won last years match as well. You're kidding yourself if you think Geelong won't be ready come Sept.

Also keep in mind the Saints are only really missing Riewoldt whereas Geelong had Corey, Chapman, Kelly, Ottens, Hawkins & Rooke out. With the exception of Hawkins all those other players probably would have had some sort of impact on the game last night.

Your right September is different. But you are also kidding yourself to claim a team will be ready to beat the Saints when they can only score 3 points in the final 2 quarters of the game.

Can't wait to play the Hawks either. We will smash you too.

lol, Big deal if you smash the Hawks, Hawthorn are a far inferior team to either St Kilda or Geelong atm but when was the last time you blokes won a flag

Geelong are proven performers in September and I'll still be backing them to be at the top of their game come September, whether that relates to another flag or not who knows but at least they know how to win in Sept.

Geelong will be bride’s maids to a team more desperate for success like St.Kilda or the Western Bulldogs.

Geelong is addicted to the euphoria of success, but they’re not desperate. They've been there done that. Try saying that about the Saints and Dogs who where devastated in last years finals. They'll be hungrier.

LOL's

Smash them with what?? Defence

Gumby - when your team is only averaging about 10 goals a game you can't "smash" many sides. You can beat them...sure.....but rarely smash.

How did the Saints go the last couple times they've played the Bombers? Hope we get to play you guys again this year. It's been a tough draw for us, so it would be nice to have 4 points to look forward to. We own you at present. Any team that is a whipping boy of the current Bombers squad shouldn't get too cocky about success in September!!!

[newbie trader]

or the Western Bulldogs.

WB always make the 8. But never get the flag.

 

[easylikesunday]

Hawks. No question

Hodge & Rioli both in career best form. Franklin showings signs of 2008.

We will do what we did in 2008, fly under the radar and steal the flag!!!

 

[nomore4s]

Could same the same about St Kilda, but imo they are both teams that could win it this year. If WB can find form at the right time of year they will be as big a threat as anyone in Sept.

Hawks. No question

Hodge & Rioli both in career best form. Franklin showings signs of 2008.

We will do what we did in 2008, fly under the radar and steal the flag!!!

Not a chance, will I think we should make the finals from here I don't think we are a serious threat. Our 2nd tier of players just aren't good enough.

The first time Geelong haven't scored a goal in two consecutive quarters for 9 YEARS. St.Kilda smashed them all over the ground after half-time. Out-tackled, out-possessed & ran the legs off them.

And what is it with nomore4s. Oh Geelong didn't have Corey, Rooke, Hawkins, Ottens etc....

Well the Saints didn't have Riewoldt, Gram, Dawson, King and Raph Clarke.
We played some regulars from the magoos like Stanley, McEvoy, Geary and Steven who all played well.

What's the next excuse you are going to make up? That Geelong didn't finish on top at the end of the season because Stevie Baker headbutted Steve Johnson's elbow resulting in Johnson getting a six week suspension. You might as well add him to your next excuse list come Grand Final day.

We have more depth on our list and the best marking player in the country injured. And we have still won as many games as Geelong.

 

[mexican]

Steve "DOG" Baker should get a holiday as well. Deserved every inch of Johno's elbow!
Saints wanted it more in the second half. Put great pressure on the Cats.
Hopefully our injuries are finished and get Chapman, Kelly, Ottens, Corey,Hawkins and maybe Rooke back but it does not look good for him.
But Johno and Mooney will get a holiday.

Keep being cocky Gumby, it just might blow up in your face!
Until you guy's hold the silverware at the of a season, the Saints will just be a good football team!

Just lol. St Kilda outplayed Geelong last night no doubt but if you think they will be able to hold the Cats goalless for a half again, especially in a GF you are kidding yourself. Considering you "smashed them all over the ground after half-time" and kept them goalless in the second half and still only beat them by 24 points, I would actually be worried.

You were the one who was gloating that Reiwoldt was missing, I was just pointing out that Geelong were missing high quality players as well. You're kidding yourself if you think players like Clarke & Dawson are in the same class as any of the six outs Geelong have.

Isn't Clarke the player that got cut up by Burns in the last 1/4 of the GF last year?

I really don't care whether Geelong or St Kilda win this years flag, your one-eyed carry on just amuses me. I would actually like to see the Saints win at least one flag in my life time, would be something to tell my grand kids, seen them win plenty of wooden spoons though.

You might as well add him to your next excuse list come Grand Final day.

Hahaha, St Kilda have to actually make the GF yet, it's not set in stone who will be playing in the GF even though there is a high probability it will be the Cats vs Saints but been plenty of times the best 2 teams didn't make it through. There is still half a season of footy to go and plenty can happen yet.

 

[ThingyMajiggy]

LOL! @ the Saints bafoons! So typical, oh look we beat Geelong in a H&A game halfway through the season, premiers here we come! Knee-jerk much? LOL

Its round 13....who gives a ****. Do that at the pointy end when it counts and its something worth getting excited about, got the whole season up till now to do all over again, anything can happen...and probably will! Anyone can get the flag this year, still a lot of winning to do yet!

 

[Duckman#72]

The Saints are an honest, dour, defence-driven unit that are well-drilled and well-disciplined. They will beat the majority of sides they meet because they are unable to escape the pressure and lock-down tactics that the Saints employ.

The Saints are also a boring side to watch and have the possibly "The Greatest Small Forward That Never Played A Decent Pressure Match".

Don't worry nomore4s. We probably will just rest Riewoldt, Hayes, Dal Santo and Montagna when we play the Hawks next. Our magoos will comfortably account for your 1sts anyway.
Just like last year. -------> http://www.finalsiren.com/MatchDetails.asp?GameID=5019&Code=c3ab739e6f21ffa30cfb0d475049f3f0

Yeah Dawson has no class. That's why he played 25 games last season and his side finished on top of the ladder. What a spud! ROFL

Gram was near BOG in the GF and is one of the best rebounding half-backs in the league. What a spud! ROFL

Pay no respect to the Saints this year at your own peril!

And by the way please keep this thread on track with relevant posts. It is titled This Years AFL Premiers. pfffttt!

lol, Big deal, you can beat a 2nd rate Hawthorn side, so what. Did that equate to a premiership for the Saints last year?

Yeah Dawson has no class. That's why he played 25 games last season and his side finished on top of the ladder. What a spud! ROFL

Yawn, this is getting old Gumby. I never said he was a dud, only that he's not in the same class as players like Chapman, Kelly, Corey, Ottens

Gram was near BOG in the GF and is one of the best rebounding half-backs in the league. What a spud! ROFL

Did I mention anywhere that Gram was no good? Try actually reading my posts even though that must be hard with only one eye.

I respect the Saints alright, haven't I already stated that both them and Geelong are favorites to win the flag this year?

It's you who is paying no respect to the other teams, bit like last year really.

St Kilda has a long history of not being able to get the job done in Sept so until the final siren goes on GF day and the Saints are in front nothing else matters.

 

[GumbyLearner]

Steve "DOG" Baker should get a holiday as well. Deserved every inch of Johno's elbow!

Just as Nathan Burke deserved every inch of Gary "DOG" Ablett Snr's elbow off the ball in the 1991 Elimination Final? Oh well I for one won't be crying if someone runs through skinhead Ablett off the ball in September.

As for that diver Johnson, I'll be very surprised if he doesn't get at least 4 weeks. And well done to Baker for punching Johnson's broken hand, it wouldn't have been broken if he didn't smack Bakes in the head earlier in the match.

Well "THE DOG" will get 9 or 12 weeks. LOL LOL.
If he could play football he would not need to use those crappy tactics.


Try and keep up with the current game Gumby. 1991?????

No worries mate. As I have just read from your post Johnson's elbow doesn't count and the sook diver can't handle someone hitting his hand in retaliation for using it on someone's head in the first place. Johnson deserves at least 6 for the elbow in my opinion.

Mooney to get at least two. Johnson lucky to get 4 probably more. Chapman has a dodgy hammy. Rooke has a dodgy knee. Hawkins will play the year out on one foot. Ling is too slow as he was run ragged by Lenny Hayes on Friday night. Geelong has no impact talls or reliable forwards for the next few weeks. Podsiadly played his worst game of the year and was shut out by the Saints. And Gary "GOD" or "DOG" whatever Ablett Snr must be counselling Stokes after the Cocaine possession charges earlier this year didn't result in jail time.

St.Kilda turned it's season around in third quarter at Subi against West Coke.

St.Kilda has beaten Geelong, Freo & Collingwood this year. But hey it must be a fluke. You footy followers on ASF are kidding yourselves to consider Geelong September favourites under such circumstances.

Looking forward to Riewoldt et al coming back into the side.

It really won't hurt that much to lose Baker because St.Kilda have plenty of taggers who can run out 4 quarters no probs.

 

[mexican]

Never said the Saints don't look good. They do!
The Cats have pretty much not played with a full side all year and it does not look like getting any better soon.
Only half way Gumby remember that. Alot can happen.

Don't go there with off field behaviour. As we all know "The Saints" have had alot of problems over the years! Just stick with the football.....

Have the Saints played with a full side this year??? Stop making excuses for Geelong, St.Kilda are clearly a better team this year. How many games has Gary Jnr missed this season? How many games has Riewoldt missed this season?

Well don't go calling people DOG for what happens on the field!!! FFS!

Otherwise go watch some touch football/netball or something!!

 

[mexican]

Well I will call him a sniper!! Always has been.
What he did on Saturday night was a dogs act, but you think thats alright. Fine. Stop whinging about 1991 then!

Not making excuses, well we are on top. Why would I.
Just making a point that we have had alot of injuries, not just 2 top players out like you guy's. Try having 6 top players out and still be on top.
As I said before you guy's put alot of pressure on us hence the result.

Try and watch the game with both eyes open, not one.
Look forward when we play again!
