Clearly one of our best, playing the role the club wants him to play. Not sure he missed a target in a game of comical skill errors. Why is there so much hate towards him. Dumbfounded.
He got over 30 possessions I think.

One of our better players.

Sammy saved our arses time and time again too.

The end of The Kettering Incident was more exciting, and that's saying something.

I suggest you watch the replay, he was insipid
Rubbish. I watched the game. Get off his back. Your comments towards him are pathetic at best.

33 disposals; 20 kicks and 13 hand passes at 85% efficiency in one of our "worst" wins ever.

Obviously Monty is shot. Make Saintbob our list manager and de-list! :oops:
:wink:

Some posters know something about the game, and others, not so much. 8-)

This was my highlight too in an otherwise deplorable display of skills (or lack thereof). But we kept going, and at the end of the day an ugly win is still a win.

And as I was sitting almost behind the Richmond cheer squad, always enjoyable to watch them flood out in droves 10 minutes into the last.


Always loyal

I have said it before. A win is a win is a win

I will go to bed a lot happier than if we had lost.

And the worst we can do is break even - who amongst us would not have taken that at the start of the year - And 12/10 would have been an unachievable expectation after the first two rounds

Fair comment. I watched and recorded every episode and still don't get it.

If you can explain to me the ending (or even the plot) I would much appreciate it. Like today's game I don't want to watch it again!

What's so odd? He hasn't got the skills
Solid game by Holmes Some of our supporters are really footy savy ☺️

I had to convince myself we weren't still in the Lyin era, what a crap game that was.

Must be close to the lowest winning score this year. :roll: :roll:


Saints looking like a bottom 4 team in 2024.

It was indeed a terrible standard game, and the final siren was a relief for all sorts of reasons - BUT it was way more enjoyable than hundreds of others I have seen. I remember catching the train back from Sydney after we lost by nearly 100 points , in one of Barry Breen's last games. That was not enjoyable .

Lots to like in amongst the mess.

Paddy - he has a long, hard summer in front of him, but I have full faith he will do all that is required and more, and I am very much looking forward to seeing him next season.

Acres is jncreasingly looking likely to be a gun. Ditto Gresham - oozes class.

DMac runs hard and straight - like him a lot.

Billings - much better this week.

Dempster did a number on Jack Riewoldt, who usually towels us up.

I thought Holmes was a sound selection , and did well. Hampson is in good form, and did very well against the Cats big men last week. Longer has been way out of form, and Lewie does not yet have the big body to take on Hampson on the big G. Holmes gave a contest, was beaten but not slaughtered . He was picked to give us the best chance to win, for which the coach need not make any apology.

Ross was the class midfielder on the ground .

Tiger fans had a really bad day. This is a good thing. Schadenfraude, but without apology,

Beating the iges is very satisfying. They have had the wood us in the last few years (who hasnt?) but today we really exposed their predicament.

If they arent already in crisis they should be now.

Good result. Glad I got my membership. Starting to feel at home with the Saints

Welcome aboard, Rushie. Like a good buy on the stock market. You bought in low and you'll reap the benefits in the next few years. I can get you mood stabilisers on the cheap. You'll need them now you've joined the pack.

Absolutely Saynta. Sometimes you just gotta win ugly. Been a very positive year. Unbeaten at the G was one of the goals. Strap yourself in for the next couple of years.

Looks like i picked the right game not to attend. Listened on radio while half asleep. Reading this thread confirms my decision. :shock:

Heaven forbid! I've got more class than that. And more reputable suppliers. I feel for the Dankster. It's getting so that a mad scientist can't make a dishonest living anymore!
