Thechook Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I like the Saints in this one,think they will play faster footy than the Dees and Bruce up forward on his day can kick a bag. I'm also going with the Bombers against the Blues. Think the Lions v Swans will be closer than a lot expect if the Lions can kick straight.(not enough to pick Lions thou) Thanks for letting us know big fella that we won't be expecting a threat from you any time soon in the tipping....and your fantasy footy team isn't doing any better.... You said the saints are an average side, you better hope the demons win or they will be a below average side.No need to hope chooks.....I'm not pretending we're a top 4 team, no one expects us to win 3 on the Trott....if we do saints will look pretty bad, if we don't it's half expected....but saints still just an average team no mater watts.your not going to be a top 8 team. Yes improve on the last 15 years no doubting that. Have to with 12+ years of top draft picks and priority picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookMan Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Looks like Khun Will has succumbed to the pressure and 2nd guessing himself. We will see how new leader Ripstanley holds up for 24 hours. a couple of danger games... Richmond v Port. both woeful. both missing key players. both lacking depth. both using 2014 game plans... difficult to choose the better of the two duds Carlton v Essendon. Blues are favorites but Essendons stats this year are generally better than Carlton. expect it to be a battle of immense mediocrity two games to strike fear into every tipster Edited April 29, 2016 by BookMan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggies could well have had that one... I didn't mind hard frees not being paid to let the game flow early,same for both sides,that's how finals are umpired. Give the Doggies another 2 quarters they might have caught up considering North were playing 2 down till Libatore got a corky,then one down How good was Waite ..

Thats rubbish, North had it the bag after the first 15 min, the team has no real big players its just a solid 18 performing for the entire game, the pressure was awesome, Dogs had a few chances but its obvious there not up to real pressure as yet.

AlexRRR Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Thank you for your crystal ball gazing and learned professional assessment of the Melbourne Demons Mr CHOOKS i have also taken note of your assessment of your team the St Kilda Saints, with that in mind it is a forlorn conclusion that The Dee's will just roll over the top of your team today. Have a nice day. Ps....it seems that TV and Apple Mac's have disagreements at times for the life of me it wouldn't allow me to quote dear mr CHOOKS.....unless of course he is using vodoo on me......

Not sure which game u were watching...Look at the number of inside 50 entries...doggies 56-46...they just couldn't convert...could easily have been so different dogs had they kicked a couple of clutch goals Doggies can handle the pressure okay I reckon...but when u have the backline injuries they have, 3 key players who run the ball out of defence with accurate kicking, it is difficult to replace immediately... I reckon Sydney, Hawks and Adelaide would all be happy to face that North team in a final.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Melbourne looking a bit scrappy with their pressure and allowing the saints to come out of defence ... like to see the Dees come out after half time and lock it down Hogan has his kicking boots on... 5.0 ... Freo fans will be licking their lips with anticipation i won't get to see the 2nd half ... come on Dees! Edited April 30, 2016 by BookMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Saints finding to much space, or rather were allowing it...early in the 3rd 2 bad misses to 1 goal to the saints, bad miss late in the second as well.....Hogan on 5-1, Watts lining up, pops it 12 point sin it, both teams appear loose when the others got it we haven't been manning up as well as in previous games....we will see...CHOOKS should be pleased. I watched the Friday night game i dont look at stats i looks at the game, North were all over them most of the time, Dogs chasing all night long, they were close enough to pull it off but really never looked like they could...
