Yeah, it was almost a bit of an anti climax. No tears this year, just a hug with the family. No hugging complete strangers like against Geelong in the QF. Last year I was so excited to be going to the GF. I guess we all know that the job is not done yet and given it wasn't close, there was just a k...

Excited???

I am so nervous about tonight's game I feel physically sick!!!!!!!!

We have to GET to next week first before we should even start thinking about it...!!!

Man, what an EFFING fizzer!!! Not a good omen - reckon our PF will be the hard one again after all!!!

Saw that news too - I agree - reckon it's smoke and mirrors - bit like the way our guys never wear their own jumper numbers at training - playing games with the uneducated! Are they even sure it was Griffen???!!!

It's a marketing ploy - when seats aren't selling they will usually advertise to say 'hurry, not many left' or 'selling fast' so that people think if they don't get in now, they'll miss out, when in actual fact, sales are sluggish. In this case, you are right in that the members will probably go reg...

Oh no! Heavy hearted - need to use that as motivation...

Bakes shares with Jack and Zac - Eddy just spends half his life there!

I want Bakes to play - hope you're right Bernard Shakey!

Rooey never really did it for me, but gotta say, the 'mantle' of leader really sits well on him! Reckon they make a stunning couple! *sigh*

Saturday night feels a bit like a long dreaded appointment at the dentist, or an all important exam.

My thoughts exactly!!!!! Butterflies have been building - we just have to get through it!

Eddie will want us to go back to the 'good old days' where the team that finished top of the ladder could 'challenge' the team that beat them in the final and if they won, would be declared premiers... (For those few who don't know, this is how we were ROBBED of our first cup in 1913!)

Think a lot of people had probs with the online booking - my uncle said he couldn't get thru and ended up phoning. Happy though - Q49 near the front (A or B, can't remember!)

I know Saintbrat - that's what I liked about them :D Tweeted back that it had kept all of us at work VERY happy!!! My personal fave was the one of his locker taken last week - myself and my work colleagues laughed out loud at that one - my friends and family didn't get it though... Guess they have a...

Ha ha - suffering from the same myself! Doesn't help that I spent yesterday watching videos of Saints on YouTube all day! Got me pumped!!! Everyone at work is just hanging for September to be over! BTW, should follow some of the players on Twitter - gives you a bit of an insight into their 'characte...

Just watched 4th quarter of our last match against Dogs - whilst we managed to win in a low scoring affair in the last few minutes, does not instill me with any confidence! Yes, they are injured, undermanned, etc, etc, but I've got butterflies already!!!

I reckon we will be a bit slow out of the blocks courtesy of our week off - we always seem to need to run ourselves into it after a break. Wouldn't surprise me to be a few goals down at quarter time. Expect we will get our 'mojo' back in 2nd & 3rd quarters, but hopefully, 4th will be where the r...

Preparing for the 'off season'..... Aaarrrggghhh!!!! What to do, what to do, what to do???!!!... Yes, it has crossed my mind what I will do with my time post September - obviously, the answer is...

NOTHING!!!

Registered - my uncle picked best avail inc standing - don't want to miss out! Less stressed about it this year though - process worked last year very well, so all that remains to be seen is if we make it...

GO SAINTS!

no doubt it would be better for Bakes to not return against the Cats... granted the pre-lim is a tough time for a return but the AFL through the umps would have been looking to take control right away. Free kicks would have been paid whether they were there or not I agree with this - the 'distracti...

Agree saintspremiers - know a senior person in 'City Hall' who has been saying would love a saints/pies GF. But also agree probably because of revenue and ratings!!!

N3 for ours - do we know yet which end the cheer squad will be??? Dools???

Ha ha - great minds think alike - I was surfing You Tube last night for the exact same thing! Then came across the last 5 mins of last year's granny - don't know why but I made myself watch it. Thought crossed my mind that it should be shown to the plays to get them revved up for September...

While watching last night, I felt the smirky arrogance only seemed to be in the 'flashbacks' or media pics - I didn't think that was displayed as blatantly when he was saying his piece in the 'grey suit'. That said, the more I thought about it, the more I realised that the drugs were just the end re...

Needed plenty of alcohol to get through that, but STAYED TILL THE END! Players can't just walk off the ground (though some on here will come back and say that they did) so we shouldn't either! You think the players don't already know how bad they played? Even the scoreboard tells them that! Yesterda...

I would offer, but I'm old enough to be his mother and can't handle rejection that well...
