I will absolutely pyss myself when we win this game.

Absolutely. And it could very well happen.

To all the fkn tool supporters, and yes, I think you are tools. That have been calling up talkback radio and WHINING about so many players being rested....The unfortunate folk who forked out good money to fly down to Yorkie for the game....cry more...cry more.

Seriously, suck it up.

22 players will take the field in the red, white and black on Saturday and believe me, we have put worse teams on the park in the past twenty years.

When we win, you should all be very liberal with the self inflicted uppercuts.

Strength through loyalty you freakin fair weather bandwagoners.

I was more concerned when we had players like Tony Delaney lining up in our midfield. Or Perhaps Tony Francis.

I reckon this team could pull off the ultimate smash and grab. And if they do, the core here will laugh in your face.

By god I really hope we win.

Tough conditions?

Bright sunshine, light winds and no rain.

[SainterK]

It's also disrespectful to the players that have earned a spot this week, and will be out there doing their best.

I support the Saints, and correct me if I am wrong, but whilst names like Roo and Hayes missing may not be ideal, it doesn't make the team any less St Kilda in my eyes.

[ozrulestrace]

These decisions are being made with an eye on the "big picture".

The picture that will be on the Grand Final editions on the Age and the Hun on the Sunday morning with the group of happy beaming Saints players and supporters.

So to those who are critical of the decisions for this game ask yourself this-Do you want to remember the Hawks game in deepest darkest Tasmania whihc could be a win or could be a loss or remember the Grand Final and the team that was rested in order to achieve the ultimate dream?

I know which one I want.

[The Saintsational Man]

Agree 100%.

Show some support you so called supporters.....

We're 18-0, about to play the reigning premiers with a bunch of players keen to prove themselves worthy of a spot in our finals campaign....

I, for one, am excited about todays prospects!!!

[Dis Believer]

Damn straight - anyone, anywhere, anytime - our 22 against their 22.
Bring it on.

My Demons supporting mate summed it up nicely yesterday.
"The Saints' selections this week sends one clear message to the competition.We're not worried about streaks and records - we have one and only one clear objective. Everything is done with that objective in mind. " Hit the nail on the head IMO.

I remember that Brisbane won three flags in a row. They failed to finish top of the ladder in those three years. Who did finish top? I could have a crack and say Port in at least one year, but it's all fuzzy and I don't really care. I do however remember who won the flag. It's all that matters.

[Darren]

Well said.

+1

[mullet]

Could not believe the number of people out this morning in their saints gear. From a baby in a pram to a guy on an electric scooter, granted I was down at nepean hwy moorabbin, but it was great

[Winmarvellous]

I just hope they aren't going to the movies instead

AS IT SAYS PEOPLE !! To all those naysayers and DogyFLogs that are anchored in the Saints past when success hinged on the extraordinary efforts and talents of a select few - accept the reality of the present. We are a damn good team with a damn good coach. This is our team, not our collection of stars, and when 22 tri-panel jumpers go out on the paddock these days it's game on, no matter what numbers are on the backs.

Pumped with that result, pumped....

we were aways going to win.........i said so before the game....and it was never in doubt....


oh ye of little faith.....


...not you big fella.....some of the others on here....

[Raven]

I announced loudly at work on Thursday I was tipping the Saints because I had no doubt they'd still win...

Oh, how much I copped for that decision.

Cannot wait until Monday now. So very satisfying.

GO YOU SAINTERS

[Munga]

Yep will be very satisfying at work Monday. I've been getting crap about resting players and how we can't play outdoors and will probably get sun burnt

[desertsaint]

leading my tipping comp and proclaimed loudly and proudly why i was sticking to tipping the saints and why they'd win - checked out the tippers picks during the game thinking i'd extended my lead - and most had changed back to the saints!

bum...should've just pretended to mope!

[SaintDebi]

I will absolutely pyss myself when we win this game.

For hygiene's sake don't forget to change those "depends" adult nappies regularly!!!!!!!!!!
