GWS will win,
because our midfield is not a top-notch one.

Steelo has been labouring since his injury.
Crouch works hard but has never been a Lachie Neale type, he's a loyal soldier but hasn't got the tools.

Owens and the Pou get thrown into the mix, and though Mitch is a fierce competitor, we lack the ability to make the most of his efforts.

Giants by 3 goals


A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤🤍🖤 and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Saints will win if they don't pick and choose.

Look for Hill throwing himself over the boots of opponents to smother balls. If that happens then we're switched on.

Saints by a couple. Lyon is a meticulous preparer. Ad. A bit of GWS Intel from Lenny, Enright finals experience, I reckon we will be very well prepared. Brad Hill is built for this and I have a feeling a couple of kids will announce themselves.
We turned the corner a few weeks back so think we will be hard to beat

The way RTB has the boys playing atm I’m expecting a win
Especially if Seb comes back in.
Our forward structure will be too much for them.

Saints by 23

And yes .. so many footy experts here…………..

Absolutely no idea 😂

Both teams can stink it up, let’s hope it’s not us 🤞

We don't look as bad as some of our supporters paint us. Indeed, we should go in as favourites.

We've won 4 of our last 5 against them so I'm hoping it will be 5 of the last 6.

Best defense in the league wins most finals. And that's us.

We have a very solid side which is even. We just don't have any passengers. It will be close, but I expect us to win.

We've won our last four games against them - all interstate - and they have only won 2 out of the last 8 against us. That's a very reasonable record.

i,ve just sacrificed a chook, a goat, and some poor seventh day adventist that had the misfortune to knock on my door last sunday, so i think we'll win.

We will start well, 3 goals up 1Q, 1 goal up 2Q, tie 3Q, win by less than a goal at the end.

Us by 34 points. GWS are not a real team. Just an AFL business.

Yeah but our #1 defence is offset a bit by our #15 offence 😅

If King, Membrey, Butler etc can fire it’ll make it very hard for GWS
