Great win by us, but North were terrible after 1/4 time.

Thank god we play some crap teams on our run home.

We may finish in the eight by default!!

2 wins in a row is a good start, a win interstate is also.

If we beat Carltoon in a fortnight, we are nearly back.....

No way am i gunna say North were pathetic..

They were 33 points up & had dubious kicks go their way yet we were still able to get up & win.. I say we got up cos were were hungier than them not because they were woeful..

Showed great fight to knuckle down & fight it out even when it wasn't going their way..

GO SAINTERS!!

don't agree at all

north had all to play for, coming off a great win against the hawks

had the game given to them on a platter but we lifted 100 cogs

yet you think beating a bottom 8 team in carlton might show more

I expect to beat the blues

strauchanie · Sat 28 Jun 2008 10:52pm

North has beaten the bulldogs and the hawks, they are not an easy side. This is easily the best win of the season against a good competitor.

season defining!!!

fantastic win after the first quarter

North are a good side...

We STOPPED them getting clean use.

For once our defensive game found some synergy with attack.

Great win with lots of heart.

Looks like we have more guys playing for the jumper than I thought we did four weeks ago.

Will we be praised for spirit - or is that only a North thing....

I'm backing that sentiment also! I couldn't imagine us coming back from being so far down! We haven't done something like this for ages! The Roo's had us, we applied the pressure and we came out the other side as the winners!

Go you good things!! The Kanga's are known as shinboners- but tonight they were shinboned at their own game! End of story!

beating the blues will show consistentcy, in that it will be 3 wins on the trot.

What we need is momentum.

The wheel has began to turn, let's just hope the bye week doesn't stuff it up.

I'm stoked, don't get me wrong!!

Rubbish

Our pressure in the 2nd half was fantastic..we created most of those errors with our pressure

That was a bloody awesome effort!!!

starsign · Post: # 595784Post **starsign** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 11:06pm

North were as good as we allowed them to be
Simple as that
We never gave up pressuring them
Great win over over a team that played brilliantly last week

have thought about your post and honestly can say you must be a very sad supporter

did you ask yourself why were north crap, I think you will find the answer is pressure

have you looked at recent form the roos have been great

have you looked at home many teams come back from that sort of deficit

mate enjoy the moment, we were a very good side after half time

tackles, clearance all the stats that seem to matter we were good in

Mr Magic · Post: # 595797Post **Mr Magic** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 11:09pm

I thought we showed a great deal of 'shinboner spirit' tonight!

spot on strauchanie. Not often have we been able to say after playing "North" that we wanted the win more than them or that we out-worked them. We did that tonight. Terrific effort!

Great call Terry Smith Rules. Our pressure was the best its been for the year, it was a step-up again from last week. After 1/4 time the kangas started making a lot of silly errors because of not only our pressure, but the inferred pressure. Very proud of our efforts in the "one-percenters" tonight.

Saint Kilda players dug incredibly deep and found what is there - the vital ingredient that any successful team needs. Gutsy sums it up best. North were in the box seat and must have thought the saints just couldn't worry them. In spite of a stack of free kicks gouing the shinboners way and the gift from heaven -- a 150m. free kick it was the saints that threw themselves in repeatedly at the ball. Our defence got on top , Kosi and Milne and Dal Santo stepped up and Roo ran his heart out again. As the game rolled on into the crunch time of the 4th. qrt. our players just kept looking better and more comfortable.

Well done Eddy backing up all night and snaring a 6pointer.
WELL DONE ALLAN THROWING HIMSELF AT A PACK OF ROOS AND MAKING HIMSELF A MARKING PRESENCE IN THE FORWARD LINE.

This was mental strength swinging the result. Saint Kilda were well up to running a marathan tonight and north were no doubt surprised.

A Friday night blockbuster awaits at the 'G'
Saints have earned 8th. spot so far now let's hold on to what is ours.
Give blues NOTIN !

North were really good I thought our boys just lifted though the roo's are a good team and if your not happy with that win your not gunna be happy with much mate. GO SAINTS !! great win

BAM! (shhhh) · Sun 29 Jun 2008 12:18am

Who was it who said "I wouldn't want to be part of any club that would have me as a member"?

North have dropped a couple against sides you'd expect them to beat. They were thumped by Freo, and from halfway through the 2nd, we took control. They've also beaten Hawthorn and the Dogs.

For the Saints to win from 5 goals down (which we haven't done for years) is huge, regardless of opposition. To do it against someone like North in a make or break game like that is huge. It's given me more hope for '08 than I've had since round 3.

Agree!

Great win.....But North stopped running from late in the third term onwards.

We were made to look a lot better than what we really were.

Nonetheless, Great win.
