Go Saints.   We would pull even on points with Geelong if they lose tonight and we beat the Pies.

And Im sure we all wanna see Geelong miss the finals in general anyway.

pies have rested moore and reid for the crows, lost four more to injury and brought bad the great man lynden dunn for his first game in two seasons

I hope our coaches are watching the Cats vs Saints game. 

Cats spent the first 5+ minutes playing kick to kick as they did vs us.  But the Saints were able to get the ball from them.  'Learnings' there for us.

That 'free kick' to Rohan was a disgrace.

Go the Crows !!!

I reckon the saints are more likely to slide down the ladder. So I’m ok with the cats winning. 
 

Saints are majorly overrated 

Jeelong really Sh.. me

They are an interstate franchaise 

Both Saints and Geelong have a good percentage. Whoever wins let's hope it's a thrashing

Saints are yet to play the Eagles Brisbane and the Giants. They also play us, Bombers and Hawks... Interesting possibilities

Geelong make me sick.

They might have been third but it Wouldn’t surprise me if the saints miss out on finals. No gun tall fwds, inside midfield can be beaten. Play keepings off and they fold

Dan Butler - 3 possessions in 3 quarters

Glad to see St Kilda get knocked down a peg or two. 

Saints getting belted. Lovely. Wouldn't surprise me to see them tumble out of the 8 with the run home they have. 

Hawkins 5 goals straight

Saints dropped 12% and are now only 2% above us.

Saints total pus tonight. Great to see.

Who knows what to make of this season.

Saints have looked a million bucks recently, and then turned into a 2013 Melbourne side tonight.  They didn't kick a goal after half time after smashing sides these last few weeks.

Do we rate the Cats?  I feel like they could fall off a cliff as well.

If we can keep winning games then we can play finals.  It's that sort of season.

Just sent a txt too a saints mate who’s been at the game, and has been getting a bit cocky about them.

“Hey “mate” the Dee’s kicked 4.8 against port up there and got beat by 51..........Dee’s and saints game should good”.
 After siren.
“your mob kicked 2 more behinds than us but got beat by 59..........Dee’s by 6”

No reply yet. 

Have saints played West Coast yet??

Are you sure? That is a pretty novel concept.

Yes, on second reading that's a pretty poor sentence.  

I guess what I'm trying to say is that, normally, by this time of the season the eight is pretty set.  But I don't think it is this year.  Teams are more prone to losses, and in some cases big losses, and if we can hold our nerve then we can knock someone out of the eight as the season progresses.  That's what I was trying to say anyway.

This season is entirely in our own destiny. But we have to beat Good teams, there are no excuses, all sides are playing off short breaks. 
 

Stuff St.Kilda. Inconsistent at best.

Hope Freo beat the hawks.
