Stocker and Jack are slow too...seems to be a pattern...I wonder what they have in common?
Ex-Carlton slugs aside, they are quick. I fear an almighty rogering.
They are coached by Ross Lyon who has had an interesting week. I think we are a chance and dont rate the Saints at all. Law of averages says we have to win a game soon and this looks like our best chance IMHO as the Saints are a flaky team coached by a weirdo.
Tip.. Harry will kick a bag on Dougall Howard who is a spud of the highest quality.
Pittonet to lay the smackdown on TDK, Cripps to have a big game too with no Steele to haunt him.
Blues by 17 points....and the Lyon presser to be sarcastic comedy gold.

I hope you're right EB, the best I reckon we can hope for is Pitto sticking his knee into TdKs ribs
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Physicality is the key Prof, show them who is boss and I'd be looking after Nas the same way as TDK and making them earn every kick.

I like how the club is giving us the incentive to watch more VFL by spreading the talent 'evenly' through both the senior side and the VFL side.  ;)  ::)

At least one team is winning 🙄

It’s behind a paywall but there’s an article in the Hun pointing out that TDK is well down on 2025 form and is ranked 25th or thereabouts as a ruckman.  That’s a way below Marshall.

Extra inspiration for Tom on Saturday?

It'll be interesting...
I'm not sure he'll have the same incentive to 'lift' as someone who felt the club had treated him badly...someone with a point to prove.
His team-mates would know that given the same opportunity they would have jumped at the offer.

Will there be a different response from players towards Jack?
Whatever you may think about his decision to leave he's always a 100% player on field.
His matchup will be interesting.


It probably goes without saying that there will be a bit of crowd involvement.
How will that affect the players.

They are all mates.  TDK took the money and ran like anyone would have.

JSOS as much as I call him Judas, and it started with the whole Caminitti thing before he walked, is mates with most of our mob, and will play a decent game, and they will all get on.

Face it, we care a lot more than the players do, which is part of the issue.

I think that will be the case with DeKoning.
I'm not sure it's the same with Silvagni.
It'll be interesting to see the interaction with our players both during and after the game.

The Centre Half Back (saints) v Centre Half Forward (Carlton) battle could have a big bearing on this game. ;D
A real battle of the giants.
Hopefully Jaggas extra height is enough to win out over Hill and he can kick a bag.

(I reckon they have a little bet going where they compile the team sheets, for most outrageous positional pick of the week) ;D  ;D

Yes Thry, AFL footballers are a lot less tribal than supporters and mateships formed over several years will endure when players follow the money.
