Without the Membrey drama -- with Membrey on field instead of Caminiti, for that matter -- it's difficult not to see us getting closer to GWS in that final. After all, we beat them on their own dugnhill mid-year.
So not a bad result against the form team of the comp.

Re: Bye bye Maynard
Don't worry -- to "prove" that they do indeed take head contact seriously, the AFL (and its media) will come down savagely on a player of the Saints, or some lesser club, at the earlier opportunity.

Check out the commentary surrounding last year's Paddy Ryder-Will Day incident compared to what we're getting from the same people re Maynard-Brayshaw. Unbelievable!

Re: The Fat F*#k's dislikes
Some of our players give the impression of feeling entitled -- e.g. Max King of Haileybury, used to towering over his opponents at school level. Dan Bulter and Higgo playing for free kicks. To his credit, Kingsley has got the GWS playing blue collar football. RTB is blue collar too but hasn't yet fu...

Re: Tim Membrey out
Some brutal assessments here but having one of your leaders bow out on game-day is clearly a downer. Too much mental fragility is encouraged at Moorabbin -- I've been banging on about it for years. Was it both Membrey and Ross who were given compassionate leave in the game against Adelaide in 2021 w...

Whatever Peter Bell asks for is too much.
Would like to see him at Moorabbin but hopefully Silvagni has a cooler head than previous hagglers.

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.

Re: Final V GWS Friday night (Sportsbet said) but now Saturday 3.20pm
GWS managed to overcome and silence the very loud and parochial Carlton crowd on Sunday.

It all came apart for Timmy at that Hawthorn comeback game. Spida Everitt giving away a succession of 50s then glaring at the coach's box as he was dragged. You just knew that discipline had collapsed.

Surreal seeing David King say "I love watching the Sainrs" and "You'd hate to play them in the finals".
Don't remember if he joined the chorus but most pundits were saying the exact opposite just a few weeks ago.

Re: Saints should already be in finals
Yes they should. They should be on points having carried on from half time against Carlton last week. Or having finished the job vs Collingwood or Port. Or having gotten the jump on the Hawks and Richmond the first time we played them. Or by dismantling GC the second time we played. Or we could do ...

Re: Crows v swans
A complete shambles. At the very least a review was called for.
if Collingwood or Essendnon was in danger of mssing the finals the AFL would feel compelled to do something.
The Saints? Suck it up and just remember who subsidises your club.

Re: So are we better than last year ?
Started to doubt RTB after the GC loss but this looks like our best season since his previous year as Saints coach, 2011.
Only problem is ... we still might not make the 8, partly due to the Injectors's pathetic effort and partly due to a wonky goal umpire in Adelaide.

Cripps gifted a goal for Oliver's "throw" which appeared to be a handball.
Or at least that's what I saw from a very brief glimpse, since Channel Seeven seemed unsuusally determined not to show it.
