Looks like we'll be playing GWS in Sydney!

And if Sydney wins and GWS wins by 7 goals, then we get to play Carlton at the MCG. And I think we'd be in with a pretty good chance in that game. So nothing to get too bothered about IMO. TBH, I reckon GWS is the team I'd be least keen on us having to play ATM. And if we won that, we would play th...

I don't regard it as a "win" simply because we will probably have to go interstate for our final. But, we did better than most thought we would - including me. Just how much of a difference Max will make we will see in a couple of weeks. It was necessary for Hayes to have a game. He stays ...

Won't know until next year.

We could play them this year at "home" in the Grand Final. It's as close to "home" as we will ever get in a final. In any event, they killed us at Docklands.

Must have been watching another game. Two kicks to the opposition which were both attacking. It would be good if our small forwards ever got in front.

Did well in the third quarter.

The other 99 were lonely so he decided to make it 100 bad nights.

Nice tackle from Webster.

Webster fell over.

Steele and Clark
7 disposals each
Not good enough

Cooper Sharman 3 disposals
Phillipou 3 disposals
Higgins 2 disposals

Perhaps they are all saving themselves for a big second half.

Didn't he come on a long term contract?

Unlike most, he hasn't improved with age - only got worse.

Dud. It's a pity Daniel McKenzie hasn't had a few more games in the seconds. He's still better than Webster, as are 99.9% of AFL players.

He won his first one (straight to them) but hasn't touched it.

He should have started at full forward to get him into the game.

No umpires have been confirmed yet for any game. Maybe all the goal umps are on strike after Gil chucked one under the bus. They'll source them from Centrelink ? Actually, I've been called up. But I'll be calling it via video (as usual) and it will be broadcast over the loud speakers at the ground....

Hopefully he's 200cm tall, runs 100m in 10 seconds, can do back to back marathons and can lift 135kg.

https://www.saintsational.net/viewtopic.php?t=106594 Ross mentions the assistant coaches at most pressers, although he still doesn't know their first names. If quality as a player is any indication of success as an assistant coach then this group must be the best ever. If Corey Enright had played fo...

I would like to see Jack Hayes get a game before the finals. RoMa had it fairly easy on Saturday but that won't be the case this week. After Brad Hill, he is our most important player. I would rest both.

That's the Lions (2108 points for) V the Saints (1575 points against) next week.

Backlines win premierships. I hope they also win Round 24 matches.

The AFL has said the call was a mistake and that a review, using the available technology, would have produced a goal. Some in the media are saying that it has denied Adelaide a possible finals place. This would require WCE beating WB and Carlton beating the Giants or Melbourne beating Sydney. The f...

Hunter needs a helmet. Bourkey No 2 They all should wear helmets with a carbon fibre frame. The fact that players "don't like them" is irrelevant to how the game has evolved. At some stage in the future, bumping (in its various forms) of players will also be outlawed. I saw two instances ...

... because called point and sydney played on straight away ... The Sydney players knew it was a goal and played on straight away because they didn't want it reviewed. But that was another umpiring error. Players from both sides were in the protected area (15 metres around the goal) and so the ball...

Legal chellenge.

If that last shot ... hit the post ... was awarded a goal. Saints make finals.
Guaranteed

Now not so much

Didnt hit the post clearly

Yep the ball missed the post by a mile.

Adelaide were robbed, the ball missed the post by a mile. It could cost us a place in the finals.

Here we go, the first of five.

Blokes who can't kick thirty metres. What is the point in recruiting such players?
