Pride comes before a fall, I hope the players aren't thinking like that.
A win is a win... 1 point will do.

Couldn't agree more!

Apart from a new coach, teams in Richmond's position often rise for the occasion when they play the top team. Would either be a thrashing or a tight contest, keep in mind that we certainly haven't "owned" them in the last three encounters. I'm interested to see what happens with Cousins. D...

Plays for Geelong, nothing to answer for.

I'll take the 23%. Agreed, would love the gap to be more, but the Cats have played two bottom four teams in the last three weeks and although I understand that's two trips to Subi, they have still had the chance to reel in on our percentage but have walked away with just a 22 and 18 point win in the...

Spelling. Rapt.

No, I mean 'wrapped', as in 'wrapped up in the moment'

DAMN RIGHT WITH EVERY POINT RAISED! I'm f**king sick of all those sooks and their glass half-empty bulls**t. We are 12-ZIP people, bloody enjoy it FFS. Typical spoilt brat syndrome that because we were positively annihilating teams in the first seven rounds and looked unstoppable, even by Geelong st...

There is no such thing as an easy game against the Kangas, thus must be given respect, but they're just playing mind games. Mind games from an obviously scared opponent!

I wouldn't go as far to say that they're a good team, but certainly a team on the improve. The reality is, no one has really buried them this year. Their biggest loss so far was to Port by 57, a good win but no demolition. Both the Pies and the CATS beat them by 43, then we have the next best at 37....

A old mate of mine's brother lives in Adelaide and about 7 or 8 years ago he was visting with his wife and 2 kids. Just so happened that the Saints were playing Port at Aami and he took his 8 year old daughter along. They were all sitting there amongst a whole heap odf Port supporters and there was...

He did his bit. His pace and penetration are well-needed, though his kicking was still dicey, but it might be due to lack of confidence since he was dropped.

Of all the games I've been to, I have never seen a bigger bunch of obnoxious, disrespectful ferals in my life and I've been to matches in Adelaide. The Dee supporters were disgusting! I'm not sure if it was just the attitude of the local Dee supporter group or if every Melbourne-based dick head who ...

Nothing against speaking your mind, does becomes a tad predictable though when it's almost always in relation to how bad the coach is, how in-effective the game plan, etc. Some people almost look for ammunition to fire at the club they apparently "barrack" for, as it's so much more fun tha...

Supporters just get greedy when the roll on has been so good.

Agreed, didn't play well, but give me the ugly win over the handsome loss any day. Geelong do!

Beside, having the media question our premiership credentials is never a bad thing.

Which I'll take as a bloody big positive! An even bigger positive, of our nine scalps, five of those are current top eight teams, two of which are currently top four, who we are also four wins clear of. I'll admit, our last two wins were far from convincing, the playing group is certainly fatigued a...

While it gets a fraction looser with each and every glorious win, it will remain shut until we have the lead when that final siren in September rings!

GO SAINTS!!!

Although it is in my nature to be quietly confident, your cry to be loud and proud is winning me over!

Sorry to be fun police, but someone has to say it... We deserve to be favourites on Monday night, we deserve to be enjoying our top spot on the ladder and we also deserve to take a lot of confidence into this match, but lets please not get cocky! I'm positive the playing group not only has the matur...

I'll be sitting in the Western stand as well, hope to get a great turnout!

I have no problem with the majority of the media tipping against us. Despite our favourism, logic would suggest that the dogs are screaming for a rebound. That and our form against them from the previous two rounds. Frankly, the more the media don't rate us, the happier I am. Even though we deserve ...

From memory, they've usually played well against us when we were favourites, but we kicked dirt in their face when they were highly fancied. Memories of the former are the obvious Round 12, 2004, Round 3, 2008 and the infamous draw of Round 18, 2007. Memories of the later are Round 22, 2006 and Roun...

Couldn't have summed it up better myself. But I think you'll find most fellow Sainter's feel the same, as they have witnessed too many seasons that ended in "what should have" or "what could have been". I think the 2005 pre-lim was just as, if not even more bruising than the 04, ...

I'm usually one of the first to suggest the usual, that we keep the lid screwed on tight and we take it one week at a time, etc, and I still do even as I type this post. However, just because the lid is on doesn't mean I can't still enjoy the moment. I'm beside myself, things haven't been this good ...

We all get greedy and would love to see us kick dirt in their face from go to woe...

However, we are TOP of the table, UNDEFEATED with a percentage of 211!

FINALLY, we gave our bogey team on our bogey ground the long, overdue smashing we owed them.

I'm going to ENJOY IT!

Yes, It's great to get Friday Night football live in Sydney, the only reason why I have Foxtel. What does irk me however, is the Ch7 Sunday match. If the Swans or Lions are playing the Sunday afternoon on Foxtel, Ch7 will also show that match in the Northern markets, making me wait till 3:00am the n...

Just you wait!

If we lose on Friday night, those that thrive off the negativity will be rearing their ugly heads with both guns blazing and out will roll the usual sack RL threads, etc!

They're just waiting to pounce.
