Saints in AFL and NFL

“the Brisbane Lions won their second game of the year”
I think you mean third Ryan – PaulD will have your ears!
AFL Round 15: The more things stay the same, the more they change
Chin up mate, – and yes its Robertson I like the look of.
Rich has dropped off a little from his heyday but he still possesses a laser left foot over distance.
Reckon you’ll retain Rockliff?
Round 14 in the AFL might have been the best round of football in 27 years
As a Saints man I feel your pain Paul D – at least you have the (distant perhaps) memory of multiple flags.
On the plus side I was watching the Lions game this weekend, and Hipwood is an absolute jet. So clean below his knees, has spatial awareness and his skill level is astounding for such a young player. Stoked to hear him re-sign.
It will get better, Fagan is bringing the faith and the young brigade are all committing, was it McStay the latest?
The Lions will be relevant again soon, and I for one will be happier for it. For now I’ll continue to watch the Brisbane games just to see Rich, Hipwood and, sorry I forget his name (number 14? blonde hair guy in the backline?) and the other youngsters going about their business… it’s far more attractive footy than the Saints are dishing up at the moment!

And what would your comments have been if the Saints did nothing?
Finnis and Co released the statement as the Saints are part of the Pride game alongside Sydney. Your article seems to totally ignore this fact.
Sam Newman – no laughing matter
If you’re prone to hurling controllers around the room, AFL: Evolution is sure to satisfy you.
Haha! spot on! Absolute dog of a game.
Reflecting on the AFL: Evolution, the newest AFL video game
I think you’re underestimating the Roos this week Adrian – don’t get me wrong, I would love the Saints to be able to say it’s in the bag and we can have a “week off”
Saints play North Friday night mate, might need to amend the Saints comment 😛
AFL Power Rankings 2017: Round 12
Paddy McCartin – one of the Coburg VFL players was running around giving him an earful a few matches ago. Was hilarious
Additionally Paul – great news re Schache.
Adelaide vs St Kilda: Friday Night Forecast
Saints by 15 goals – BAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE and Mattress Guts to kick 8 each.

Can’t like this enough Cat – perfect opinion.
Won’t someone please think of the children in regards to the commentators? Just terrible.
Roar and Against: Watching AFL on TV is better than being at the ground
The conversations would be happening right now – is he prepared to sacrifice his wage for the good of the team and a potential flag tilt? Or will he decline and hang up the boots this year?
He’s an out and out champion and deserves to go out on his own terms (as does Monty) but not at the team’s expense (especially if it impacts Billings or others re-signings).
Will be greatly missed. Absolute champion of the game and my favorite Sainter since Banger.
..Also D Barrett would have zero idea about St.Kilda – he’s been black listed from the club for years for his dross.
It's hard to say goodbye, especially if you shouldn't
I’m interested to know what you call it then Cam? “…given that a blown kiss has more force” means nothing – a closed hand in a striking motion is a punch.
Personally, I don’t think it warrants a suspension, but everyone knew the rule crackdown – and they even gave a week’s leeway for everyone to fully understand it.
Sorry but he’s guilty as charged.
The Tom Hawkins suspension is a disgrace
Depending on the weekend’s other results (say if the Dogs, St Kilda or Richmond were to lose), Sydney could be as few as one win out of eighth spot – in spite of an 0-6 start.
Unless you’re advocating a draw Ryan, there will most definitely be winner in that game 😛
As to tonight – Sydney in a landslide. Buddy could potentially get an insurmountable lead in the Coleman race after this evening.
Burton and/or Gibson don’t stand a chance.
Saints looking like securing a top 3 pick in the draft.
Sydney vs Hawthorn: Friday Night Forecast
Great article Tim,
I love watching Origin, it’s the only time League gets a run in our Victorian household.
You’re 100% spot on when you say it’s about the passion. That passion draws me in and I find myself transfixed by the on field deeds and the off field production. It’s a brilliant spectacle and one I hope continues for many years.
If only the AFL had anything nearing the tribal fanaticism of SOO… but that went the way of the dodo many moons ago *sigh*
State of Origin belongs to Queensland
Good luck with the live blog Andrew – I will be blearily eyed watching on.
Indianapolis 500: Pole day talking points
I’m not normally a defendant of Kingy (just ask him about the Gresham trade…*sigh*) but since the win over GWS he has been very bullish about the saints, much to my surprise.
But Roos and Brereton are hardwired to only attach negative connotations to the saints.
The Saints are flying under the radar
Totally agree I ate pies,
probably because it’s written by that fool Barrett who doesn’t even understand the concept of a sliding doors scenario (which that particular article isn’t)
As to tonight’s game, if the weather plays as big a factor as many are predicting, the team that gets out to the fastest start with the fresher legs should be able to grind out a win.
Cats by under 12 points.
My money will be on the total points under.
Geelong vs Western Bulldogs: Friday Night Forecast
But he did Ken – he was sledging JC.
Also, there is plenty he can do without getting weeks from the tribunal (as per my original post)
Look, we obviously see this from different points, so we’ll agree to disagree.
The art of sledging, and when the Saints became sinners
Honestly Ken, no I wouldnt be “filthy” if a Saints bloke was saying derogatory comments about a blokes wife. If a player is that insecure about his partners previous sexual life, especially if that life is public knowledge in the footy world then more fool him.
As i said at the top, thanks to the media now every player in the league knows how to get under Murphs skin and put him off his game if they so choose. They should have left it on the field.
The issue is; Carlisle was being abused all game about his pre season drug shenanigans and Murphy was getting his back about his missus. But only 1 of those blokes chose to give it to an injured player.
That’s the point I’m attempting to make, I don’t care about who said what – that’s all my opinion and no one else s – but a player, the captain no less, ran and abused another player when that player was prone and injured.
For mine that act alone, in isolation to everything leading up to and thereafter, is the absolute worst thing a player can do on a field of play.
At least when Barry Hall smashed Brent Staker he was standing up
The art of sledging, and when the Saints became sinners
I totally agree it was an opportunistic moment – he did it at a time when Carlisle couldn’t respond, he couldn’t have planned for Carlisle to go down at that or any stage of the game.
He saw a wounded player that had been giving him an earful all game and he proceeded with his drive by.
Captain material first class there…
The art of sledging, and when the Saints became sinners
Definitely Michael to Brett Voss – although the Selwood’s may have done the same.
The art of sledging, and when the Saints became sinners
If it was such a hurtful sledge (and for all we know it could be a statement of fact) why didn’t the other 21 Carlton players come to the aid of their captain? Why didn’t Murphy confront the taunts when Carlisle was standing up? Why didn’t he go to the Saints captain in Geary and say, “listen mate, as one captain to another that’s just over the mark”?
Because he waited until a player was injured and prone (and for all Murphy knew had a broken neck) to retaliate and spew his own venom.
I’m not condoning the verbal attack of either player, but simple fact is: One player abused an opposition player and captain on an even playing field the other (the Captain) abused an opposition player when he was injured and prone.
After that the media jumped on board and beat this storm in a teacup into a frenzy to sell papers or get clicks.
All this is, is an absolute beat up and I would be filthy if a Saints player abused an injured player like MM did – its disgraceful from a captain.

Unless you’re Steven Baker – then you cop 11 weeks.
The problem is bigger than Tom Bugg
