Ratten had no plan B to counter the Cats chip chip chippy uncontested gamestyle - absolute nada idea on how to beat it - they just killed our pressure game and slowed it down and we ran around like headless chooks or just marked space - story of our year!! Of course when the ball was there to be wo...

Fireman, I just don't think they are good. Which means we are not very good either. they are a good side...and so are we. the last 2 games have shown what we are capable of ... I saw some bloody good skills tonight and this coming from the glass half empty man on here. You can ask anyone on here ab...

If you play Kent and an injured King you deserve to have your position questioned. Inexplicable about King. Not only could he not get to the contest for the most part he couldn't even run enough to apply any pressure -- not to mention the potential aggravation of an injury our greatest prospect is ...

Good effort Saints. Sucks to lose but we showed up and it was close. Can't fault that.

King injury was the key. Before it he looked virtually unplayable and after that he might as well have not been out there.

Will be interested in hearing the presser and finding out why he was kept out there.

Brilliant

Breaks your heart.

SAINTERS.

We're in it.

There's still a game on boys and girls and we're still in contention with a top 4 side at their home fortress. I'm bloody proud of our effort so far.

King finally paid a free for a chop. Only took about 1000 of them this year.

CARN SAINTS.

Healthy King today and I think we'd be up by 3 or 4 right now.

Membrey with a great settler for us. 58-56 to them for those not able to watch.

Kingy doesn't even look like he can run at his full pace. WHY IS HE OUT THERE? I just hope it’s not further injuring him It well could be aggravating it. It's just insanity. I think the guy will become one of the premier forwards in the competition next year and we're risking his health for what?

Kingy doesn't even look like he can run at his full pace. WHY IS HE OUT THERE?

Great pressure by Crouch.

Seriously take poor Maxxy off. He's clearly not up to it and is injured.

Why do the Saints always do this?

Has Hannebery been playing?

Really not happy with him getting a game ahead of a kid at this stage of the season.

Good half though we're in front.

Sinclair has become such a great player this year. What an improvement. Good man.

And the usual whingers about the whingers are still whinging about how much the whingers whinge.

Same old, same old.

I gotta say looking at the replay I couldn't see that he 'clearly' controlled it before it crossed the line.

When I heard the whistle I just assumed the Geelong player had been done for an unrealistic attempt. Incredible decision.

Absolute star is Maxxy.

31-0 for those not watching.

Interesting we're setting up our defensive zone well outside of our attacking forward 50 and basically letting them have use of it up to the square.

That's a new tactic isn't it?

Very composed as well generally. Looks like he's played 100 games already. Great find.

Great film. Killer soundtrack.

I asked Grant Thomaa on twitter if Wilkie is the new Maxy Hudghton :lol: Max was a dud. He couldn't take a contested mark. His average over his career was 0.44 per game and much worse when he first started. Callum Wilkie's average is 0.8 - nearly twice as good. He's also a better kick. Max was grea...

Love seeing King having a pop after the goal. He looked so subdued for so long but now he's having a crack.

Go Saints.

Best outcome we could have hoped for.

Having a lower wage might take some of the pressure off his shoulders as well and help him relax.

Hope he has a belter of a season next year.
