LOL. And yours was basically an emotional spew that either ignored or misunderstood my point, and lacked much at all in the way of logic or sense.

Yes Apoc. What were the stats of the 2008 GF?

Geelong 11.23 (18 rushed)
Hawthorn 18.7

Looks like peppering the square doesn't work for the Cats unless they ditch pin-up dud Hawkins and Pods holds up this season.

Bad memories for the Cats. Oh well, all looks well for the Saints back half this season.

LESSON

We don't need a key forward. You need a better forward line!

Well maybe it was more like 15 rushed!

How boring???

But who won?

Yep, after last nights Melbourne-Bulldogs game - PATHETIC

2 goals given as points to Melbourne were questionable, and since when do they listen to a player over a goal umpire?

It has really gone to the dogs.
 

And who won it last year???
Shame the Saints can't play "the best football ever seen" on the day it counts!

Your guys were smashed in the ruck by Essendon, so how do you think they'll fair against Cox and NicNat this week?

hahaha Gav, we've been smashed in the ruck by every team this year. Renouf is at best a second rate ruckman at this stage, he would normally be the 2nd string ruckman in our team.

The be honest I would be surprised if we beat the Eagles over there, all I'm hoping for is a more competitive effort and some ticker to be shown by the players.

We was robbed! Go the Dee's.
 
Lions v Freo tonight. Hopefully the lions can come back to their winning ways. If Freo can win tonight (on the road) you would think that they may be a real contender?
 
Good to see the Saints mafia is out and about.

So your best comebacks to my detailed and well reasoned post were:
- My first post (ie. the one before the one you should have been responding to) was apparently based on just two games
- We lost the '08 GF, and it was boring because Hawthorn rushed a lot of behinds, which says what about Geelong

Oh, and after being the highest scoring side in 2007, 2008 and so far in 2010, and second highest in 2009 behind the Dogs (only 60-odd points less over the entire season), apparently we're the ones who need a better forward line!

Maybe you should try posting with some facts behind you next time. Might be a novel experience.
 

Hitouts: 61 to 29 : Not exactly a brilliant game of footy to watch though. West Coast had quite a few opportunities to seal the game earlier. The Hawks did well to fight back and stay in the match.

I was very impressed with Kennedy. His best performance to date, and is one of the most accurate goal kickers in the league so far this year. West Coast have missed a decent focal point up forward for more than a decade, so I'll be watching anxiously to see how he performs for the remainder of the year. And LeCras was brilliant yet again.

It's not so much the hitouts that are killing us, it is the clearances (even though the hitouts do have an effect on this stat).
 
well well,

Tonight St Kilda received a little lesson in Football! need a strong reply next weekend when we meet the Bombers!
 
So many questions.

Are Carlton the smokies this year? They've knocked off both last year's grand finalists in the last 3 weeks, and done it very easily too.

Or is Collingwood the team to beat? Carlton may have smashed Geelong and St Kilda, but in between they got smashed themselves by the Pies. Travelling very nicely, Collingwood, but of course it is only May and we know what they are like in September (and July for that matter). Next two weeks will test.

And what about Fremantle? Have to be a real top 4 contender now, and if they make it there anything can happen.

Brisbane, after looking a million dollars only a few weeks ago, have crashed and are looking like they might struggle to keep touch with the eight.

Adelaide and Hawthorn were considered by most a lock for finals action before the season started, and now both have their work cut out for them just to avoid the bottom 4 (you'd think the Tigers have the spoon wrapped up already).

And while preseason favourites St Kilda and the Dogs are travelling a little better than the Hawks and the Crows, neither have impressed so far. Both could have easily been on only 2-3 wins at this stage. Do they really look like likely premiers at the moment?

Its a wide open season, peoples.
