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?

Woeful handball - the worst in the AFL and woeful kicking. Game Over.

Smart arse Missy Higgins.

Phillipou is useless. Unbelievably slow and drops marks.

It's Riewoldt.

More of a back alley than a road, but we would have to be most unlucky with the results of the other games to miss out even if we lose the next two. And remember, we are currently six wins from a flag, but if we were to make the finals after losing the next two, we would be only four wins from a flag.

Jason Horne-Francis. He's now homesick for Melbourne.

Seb probably needs to work on making the distance from 40m out!

Are you sure that he didn't make the distance? There was no asking for a check. There was no replay (that I saw anyway).

Soft free to king but I’ll take it Grabbed the jumper. Free every day of the week I think it was paid for the block before that. As soon as you turn your back on the ball and face the opponent, you cannot make contact. This is yet another game when we have not got full value for our dominance aroun...

Beaten in the air and around the packs after half time. Our duds were shown up - Sharman, Gresham, Byrne and Windhager. All too small for their respective positions. RoMa ran out of puff and so did we. We need another good ruckman or someone who can mark around the ground. I'd be surprised if we win...

Same with Sharman

Agree. Sharman dropped a sitter.

Their second string players were getting right on top of their Saints counterparts. Not good. I expect a loss.
