I thought he was good, especially in the third quarter. If King and Ross are fit in two weeks time, I think he misses out, as does one of Sharman and Hayes: possibly Sharman. Clark to be the sub again. Clark had only 53% game-time today. There must be a doubt about his fitness or he is carrying an ...

Saints will stay clear of GWS provided they don't win by more than seven goals against Carlton following the Saints 12 point loss today.

This seems unlikely.

Now we just need Melbourne to beat Sydney to get a home final

Excellent program. Some progress has been made in recent years although not enough. We won't see again in the media such rubbish as the homophobic jibes that used to appear on programs like The Footy Show that used to masquerade as humour. The introduction of Pride Round for our club and the Swans i...

Wow!

They were discussing the appeal on SEN this afternoon and giving it no chance of succeeding, even suggesting they might add a week.

Sincs comes across as the very intelligent person he is, as his on-field smarts shows so often. I disagree with the comment that "he's turned into a really good footballer". He has shown he is a good footballer from his very first practice match as a few of us realised. Unfortunately the m...

It might have been nice for Caro to agree and admit being wrong about the Saints as she has hardly tipped us all year.

She has no respect for our team or players.

Demons unlikely to be flat out against the Swans as they know they are firmly placed in fourth place whatever their result. Though if Swans beat Melb, then they draw level on points. If GWS have a good win against them, Swans could possibly slide above them just as GWS can slide above us. If Swans ...

We are disadvantaged by the actual time we play our final match. The other teams playing after us will all know what they need to achieve to secure their best place. If we lose Carlton have no incentive to win against GWS, ladder wise, as home final certain for them. GWS will know exactly what they ...

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. Brad Hill is more important than Sinclair? Hmmm not sure what matches you have been watching th...

Apologies to about six more I wanted to include

Absolutely no one unless injured.

We still need to win this one to secure a HOME final which is very important rather than playing in Sydney.

Why would we do that?
We need a win to get a home final.
Worth a lot more than resting a few players with a bye the week following.

With a win this week we lock in a home final and maybe at Marvel Stadium if against a Sydney team

Now we need to win this week to lock in a home final and maybe if against a Sydney team it will be at Marvel Stadium.

How ironical that Jamie Cripps might kick saints into finals with his 5 goals!!

Half time Sandy 63 pts to 17 pts

Lots of tall players in side.

Capmbell, Heath, Caminiti, Hayes, Coffield, Highmore

Sandringham leading top four side Williamstown at quarter time:

6.0 36 pts to 1 point

What a difference when more Saints players available

Even if we make finals now with some results going our way, it could well cost us a home final and we have to play in Sydney. If we miss finals now, I would think we would be the first team ever to miss with 13 wins. In addition if it had just been a 22 match season like is usually the case, we woul...

18 disposals in 38% game time is an excellent stat projecting to a full game means over 40.

He has a bit of the X factor which we need.

He is definitely worth keeping and I agree with Ghost Like, lets not let another slip like we let Acres go, or more to the point, pushed him out.

I love him, but if he takes that sitter against Hawthorn first time around, we would be cemented in the top 8.

Interesting interviews tonight on AFL 360 leading into Saturday's important match with Owens, Windhager (spelt as Windwager on the screen) and Adrian Cole. All are products of St Kilda's Next Generation Academy, with Cole obviously a future AFL prospect who hopefully gets to the Saints at the next d...

Does the award extend to finals?

Even if it does Sincs seems to have this year tied up unless Saints play at least two finals.

Sorry I didn't vote now. I was struggling to find 5 good players but thought Wilkie clearly best. Wood turned it over much too often and was on Acres for large parts of the game who I thought cut us up. I was dead against Acres being "given" to Freo as steak knives in the Hill deal but tha...
