INTO THE FINAL

Well that was the danger one - guess we won't lose another game this year!

(almost as good as beating the swans!)

I love the fact that we've come from behind the last two weeks.
Winning games in pressure situations like that hasn't been a strong point for us.
Well done Saints; and congrats to Rossy and the rest of the coaching staff.

Roo being interviewed on Sen - said he had a plan only to play 3 quarters and that he has pulled up well - Said he had tendonitis in the knee and Thomas replied along the lines of "What was that??" (twice over) implying that something else is wrong and Roo replied "Thommo you should know all about that!!" Sounds like he might have had it for a while

Oh When the Saints · Fri 29 Feb 2008 9:50pm

Stats Wrap:

Armitage - 20 disposals, 4 marks, 6 tackles, 1 goal
X. Clarke - 18 disposals, 2 marks, 1 tackle
M. Gardiner - 6 disposals, 3 marks, 19 hitouts, 1 goal
King - 17 disposals, 2 marks, 12 hitouts
Jones - 23 disposals, 3 marks, 5 tackles
Schneider - 20 disposals, 2 marks, 1 tackle, 1 goal
Riewoldt - 9 disposals, 5 marks, 3 goals

Haven't seen the game yet (not on for another three hours here!) but going by the stats Armo and CJ would have to have been close to BOG.

Good to see our ruckmen dominate.

"Rooey limping" where are you coming from? Want to win but how would they cope with GT & Kosi + Roo on board?
Having trouble yet again with anti-Milne comments by media eg reluctant to pass/selfish - bull/hit if you're a regular Saints follower.

C Jones contribution - would rather see players like him putting in 100% ahead of high profile players coasting.
Am struggling with commentary - yes trying to build-up but not really giving credit where credit's due. But go Gardy!
But!! still believe the commentary is pro - BOMBERS .

Darren · Post: # 525136Post **Darren** » Fri 29 Feb 2008 9:55pm

Just a little update with the cricket: Bowled Out with 12 balls remaining with 14 to win. Sri Lanka win

jill · Post: # 525138Post **jill** » Fri 29 Feb 2008 9:58pm

Oops, think we've won

Am watching 7. GO SAINTERS!!!!

Radio interviews for the boys must be like a club reunion - Roo left SEN and Grant Thomas to talk to MMM and Aaron Hamill.

Said much the same on MMM about his game time and knee.

Best thing about this win is that we dont go to Perth next week.

That said I have a feeling that if Adelaide beat Hawthorn we may have to play the granny in Adelaide - depending on goals scored I think??

Can someone verify this??

So far Adelaide has kicked 34 goals after 2 rounds
Hawthorn has kicked 18 after 2 rounds

We have kicked 41 after 3 rounds
