I bet you're happy with that performance benchmark. And Simpson played good too

Why OH WHY is Dave Hughes commentating? He is bloody hilarious, but a terrible commentator.

Great week of footy

Pies winning a thriller
WCE getting up in pre-season derby
Doggies show improvement
Saints stay strong after comeback by Hawks
Dees defeat the best in the business
Roos thrash Geelong in low scoring affair
Blues beat Sheedy's bombers
Power get over the line against Crows.

Tight games except two, shows another big season is ahead.

GO THE PIES.

I'm as much of a champion as Alan Didak.

Hmmm, I find him to be about as hilarious as mowing the lawn. Sometimes he'll make me smile, but most of the time he really gets on my nerves, must be his voice..

this season is sooo open! it's so hard to pick a winner. The fav's have to be St Kilda and Port... but then teams like Melbourne... Geelong... Sydney... West Coast could all really give it a good shake..

I'm a big Sydney fan and I think they'll do alright if they can get Adam Goodes back up into the forwards instead of playing half back and if Jason Ball has a good year in teh rucks

I don't know. Barry Hall at Centre half forward and O'Loughlin or O'Keefe at full forward, if Goodes can hold down centre half back, the whole team would look better.

for those who don't know there is a great forum for the game at www.bigfooty.com

Yeah i think the swans are in for a real show this year (unfortunately ).... Darren Jolly swapping with Ball in the ruck will be a HUGE asset, it was so obvious that the swans were lacking 2 quality ruckman last year with Goodes' injury.... Dave Spriggs looks pretty handy too, should have a pretty potent midfield... It'll be interesting how Paul Roos plays Adam Schnieder (sp?) this year (he comes from near where i live,lol), up forward as a goal sneak or maybe in the midfield, because ive heard he got really fit for the role

Hey does anyone remember who that young Collingwood player was who injured his knee at the start of last season? IIRC, he hadnt played a handful of games, and I think it was lining up to be his second knee recon.

 

[Slats4ever]

Schneider's a champ... he got lost last season cos the other teams worked him out but i reckon in the long run he'll be a real force for the swans. they've gotta do it for maxfield this year. i reckon it's his last...

I hope it's not his last season. He would play till he's 50 if it was my decision.

 

[Slats4ever]

he was hinting at it last season though. i reckon this season it might just be about time...

Yeah i know which one youre talking about, but i cant for the life of me remember what his name is! actually starting to annoy me now!...

It'll be interesting how Tarkan Lockyear (sp??) goes this year, with his past knee problems, he's a gun me thinks.

I think you're talking about Tom Davidson.

 

[Linda]

Yeah thanks, I found it shortly after writing that. I went to the CFC site and just looked at the names, I knew I would remember it if I saw it.
Anyway, good luck to him for this season. What an horrific start to a career, (ala Shane Watson but much worse, lol!) I really hope he does well just for getting through that. Seeing him injuredso badly last year in his first game was just heartbreaking.

 

[benchmark00]

Picket suspended for 6 weeks... bit harsh dont you think?

You would think someone would take him down and not let him hang there for that long.... (very poor joke)

 

[Slats4ever]

yeah it's just a load of crap. the judiciary is trying to show everyone how strong they are...
