Will27 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Don't think you can go past the Hawks for the flag, freo not quite there, cats well they went missing a few times this season and really struggled against port as for Sydney, hmmm you know its not out of the question. I have to disagree with you about Freo. I think they're ready as they ever will be. Beating Geelong at the cattery and getting the home final has given them a huge chance. I would not pick anyone to beat them at home at the minute. I also think Geelong are off the boil a bit and think it will be a Freo v Hawk GF which will be a 50/50. Having said that, you can never write of the Swans or Geelong so looking forward to 2 good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmerjo Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 So you got rid of your football manager to fit in some choirboys. I'm pretty sure Brisbane and Adelaide share the same tune... Similar but different. Both stirring patriotic renditions! Adelaide's is sung to the tune of the US Marine's Hymm. Brissie's is the old Fitzroy song, with some wording changes made Whilst we are on the topic of Club songs... Club Statement: St Kilda appoint new Head of Vocal Performance 6:03pm AEST Saturday, September 14, 2013 The St Kilda Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of highly regarded vocal coach Ricardo Rayme, as Head of Vocal Performance. Ricardo, along with his assistant Todd are globally regarded as the world’s best singing teachers. Ricardo and Todd bring with them a wealth of experience, having spent time on the RSL circuit, responsible for such productions as Richard Wilkins the Musical, and working with tribute bands for the likes of Nickelback and Jason Donovan. Disgruntled with the players’ lacklustre singing of the team song, Nettlefold hopes that Ricardo and Todd can bring a little spark to their post-match performance. http://www.saints.com.au/news/2013-09-14/club-statement-st-kilda-appoint-new-head-of-vocal-performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might make a few bucks on the RSL and Retirement village circuit. A bit of satire put out by the club today.

Both the Hawks and Freo didn't play last week so I don't think there's a compelling argument for a 13 or day 14 break either way.

It's all about the TV ratings usually but I think the crowds and ratings won't be affected. I'm sticking with my conspiracy theory I just don't think it's fair to Sydney, if they win. The Hawks and Geelong haven't travelled outside of Melbourne. I know they finished 1 and 2, but Geelong lost their first final. IMO, that should be the Friday night game.

GrantSmith Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Chappy given 2 weeks reduced to 1 with early plea. Ted Richards given 1 week reduced to Reprimand with hefty carry over points. A lot of comparison between Chappy and Buddy bumps, I think Buddy's was higher than Chappy's even from the slow mo it appears Chappy only makes contact with the Port players shoulder. Ted's bump is about on par with Chappy - IMVBOEO - makes contact with the shoulder area and appears that the head jerks back in reaction to this. Cats would be stupid not to appeal this, and I think he'd get off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(he had a great game against Carlton) If Tippet is out...still a big problem. Dockers to win for me still Swannies currently $6 to win the premiership (GF) in 2014. A very good bet IMO.

GrantSmith Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Having Tippett out, really shouldn't bother the Swans too much - we played the first half of the season without him and have played much better without him, don't get me wrong, having Tippett is what we need and I was all for him being traded to us last year dispite all the skullduggery that went on... But the last 2 games that we've won, he's been out, so all is not lost. Having Super Ted in, even with carry over points, is a win. Though he has a tendancy to go missing. Just in... Tippett out along with Mitchell... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
