Really disappointing quarter after dominating most of the first.

Hope Richo get's stuck into them at the half time break.

Heard that Hickey is sick and Holmesy may be a late change tomorrow. Where is Longer? We got him from the Lions but haven't heard abt him. Is he injured? No offence intended Mo, but you do realise we have a reserve team. If you payed more attention to what Sandy were doing, you'd know that Billy ha...

Out: Hickey (rested)
Roberton
Membrey
Lonie

In: Pierce
Fisher
McCartin
Murdoch

Wouldn't be surprised at all if they rest Hickey next week.

Obviously not happy with the way we're going, but at least the beer is going down well!

Sorry to correct you there BC, but Sincs has a corked calf. Corked calves I imagine would be a little bit harder to get rid of than a corked thigh.

Sinclair in for Minch.

That's it......I officially hate the block free kick in ruck contests and the shot clock....f..k!!

Great effort Saints....you were robbed!!!

Well, there you go.....had no idea Gresh had an indigenous mum.

Great looking jumper by the way!

I reckon there will be 25,787.....any more than that, then we will have done well.

North have had the better off us in the last four times we have played each other. Overall they are up 35-22 so we owe them plenty. Love this website: http://finalsiren.com/PreviousGames.asp?PrevTeam1ID=13&PrevTeam2ID=12&Team1ID=6&Team2ID=12 Without looking it up, I'd say that's wrong. ...

I reckon Saints fans will think we're in with a real chance to win today and obviously so will the Dee's fans, so I reckon the crowd will be 23,999.

I pretty much want to see what I'd like to see every week.....as little amount of turnovers as possible. Unfortunately, as we all know, we seem to be better at it than most of the other clubs. Also, I'd like to see Billings and Bruce really tear it up today. Oh, and most of all, I'd like to see us w...

I really feel for the kid, his confidence must be at an all time low. He's far too young to be thinking about retirement, so I hope he keeps his chin up, remains positive and most of all.....stay's patient!! One day the time will come when he doesn't have to worry about them anymore and he can think...

I was also there that day as a 40 year old. Apart from the actual game and the now infamous raising of the jumper, I remember 10 year old kids spitting at me as I walked past them walking from one end of the ground to the other in between quarters......and people wonder why everyone hates Collingwoo...

What's the current position with our glandular fever victims? DMac and Bailey Rice? Does anyone know? Both played Round 1 against Box Hill. From the VFL report on the Saints website: Daniel McKenzie (14 disposals, eight contested possessions, six tackles) “He was solid playing predominantly on a wi...

I'm feeling really nervous for him already, can't imagine how he would be feeling right now.

All the best Nathan, hope you have a great game and get through it unscathed.

Only knew Eastern from his posts on the now obsolete True Sainters site and on here of course. He seemed like a really nice bloke who unfortunately I never had the pleasure of meeting.

RIP Tom.

Condolences to family and friends and all who knew him.

Some pretty poor turnovers today but our ball movement was good. At times I thought we could have actually slowed the game down a bit as there were far too many mistakes.

Really liked the look of Gresham and great to see Nathan Wright get through the whole game without injury.

Balic

He hasn't exactly flown under the radar, but I'm expecting big things from Brodie Murdoch in 2016. If he can manage to have a relatively injury free season, I can see him being a major contributor to our football team. In my opinion, with his powerful left foot, he would make an ideal winger/ half f...

Mid to late 70's we had Rex Hunt and Phil Stevens who gave us great service.

Was thinking exactly the same thing Wayne after the match.

The disappointment of being traded will be well and truly forgotten now.

Good on him.....couldn't be happier for him!!

Totally agree Loris. The sooner Fox Footy gets the right to show the Grand Final the better.

My pick leading into the finals was West Coast but now I'm leaning more towards the Hawks. Both sides will be nervous for various reasons but the added incentive to make it a three peat will get the Hawks over the line I reckon.

First Goal - Poppy Puopolo
Norm Smith - Josh Gibson
