from a big footy poster who was there Slim Pickens Thought some of you might be interested in the thoughts of a neutral observer at tonights game. The Swans won pretty comfortably, but to be fair a number of your better players looked to be going at half pace. The Swans pushed up hard when the ball...

The first Grand Final that is. With all that has been going on, I thought it was time to get back to footy. As I have said a few times on saintsational , I have been going to Saints games for 50 years, and I have seen most of the Grand Finals over the years. Although it can be easier to remember th...

Everybody is quick to slam saintspremiers comments but only three rising star nominations in seven years seems to back up his statement. I for one hope he is wrong but am able to pull my head out of the sand and see that the comments have some reasoning behind them. Its great to have faith in your ...

In terms of the OP, I couldn't give two hoots what people say on other teams forums. Why would I waste my time reading whatever garbage they are t...

dang-nabbit!

I have a wedding on that day (not mine ), otherwise I would have wandered down!

For a second I thought he was still on our list and we were trading him to WC...

Then my brain caught up.

f*** NO!

I always had this feeling that he didn't adapt fast enough in a game, but the drawn GF changed that for me.

He made a few minor changes at half time (gilbo forward, eddy on Maxwell) that changed the game for us.

9.9/10 (0.1 lost for a GF lost )

Would not be surprised if he finishes top 10 in the B&F. I'd be shocked personally. Been a big rap for him for a while, but this year has stepped up massively. Looks assured and calm a large portion of the time. Still can remember him busting lines v Geelong (rnd 13). One of the most enjoyable ...

Proud of what. We arel osers Big losers on the games biggest day Second is not good enough Wake up people We lost We are LOSERS And you are not worthy of speaking on this forum. There are 14 other clubs who would have given anything to reach that game. Yes we lost. We have a history of losing, but ...

Yeah.

I left 15min into the last qtr.

I just couldn't stand the noise and the feeling.

Even that 15min was unbearable.

I was up that end and I thought that he probably wouldn't have easily taken the ball.

If the bounce had run on instead of diving right then he was a sure thing, but such is the ball and I don't think he could have got to it cleanly.

I thought it was just about the best rendition I've heard in a long time.

This is going to be the argument of the week... my thing is this:

We knew what would happen if it was a draw. It's not like the AFL is springing this on us now.

Get over it.

City Centre - Becoming cloudy .Min 10, Max 20

I think considering how we've gone in the drier parts of each final, then this is great news!

Certainly not playing anywhere near where I would expect us to play.

Concerned about NDS.

Confident we'll win, nerves are jangly.

God, I do it all the time!

I love reading other boards, especially match-day threads when the saints flog them

Registered my family!

Fingers crossed

With a lot less stress and nerves hanging over my head...

And curiously watching the other games.

According to sources, if we had lost Friday night, we would have played Fremantle at Etihad instead of the MCG. This was done because the AFL didn't believe that we could draw as big a crowd to the MCG as Geelong. They will struggle to get much over 40,000 friday night. Actually, it wasn't because ...

Great lunchtime read.

Cheers!

Snore...

Not much happening here.

How about we get through Round 22 before counting our chickens??

I bet you the dogs supporters were counting Cooney in their Finals Week 1 team...

Jurrah for me.

Just looks better than BJ's, but only just...

Both fantastic marks

Good win saints.

Got the job done
