Can't help noticing the other two went on to claim the flag. I don't want to jinx us but we do have a history of claiming the most unenviable of records. Surely we'll go on from here, won't we...............?

Robert Walls said in the commentary last night regarding the "Saints should drop a game" theory that he was asked by a friend how he would feel as coach going into a Grand Final undefeated. His reply was, "Confident!"

We will win the flag, question is can we back it up next year, or will we do a Hawks?

Methinks things could be rosey again next year!

The team doesn't want to lose, they don't know how to lose at the moment.

It's nice to have history on our side, but did Collingwood or Essendon have a team as good as Geelong finishing second at the end of the home and away season? As long as Geelong are still in the race I won't feel at all comfortable!

Agree. Finals is a different game.

Just delighted that we're playing so well.

It's a credit to the players, the coaching staff - headed by Ross Lyon - and everybody involved. I'm so delighted at how everyone is pulling together and playing as a team, rather than as a bunch of individuals. It looks as though every player wants to play for St Kilda and wants to win a premiership. It's fantastic to watch and I hope the players can take the next step in the weeks and months to come.

Go Saints.
