carn the pear!

haha what a scramble that last 10 minutes was. 

Saints would be absolutely gutted to lose that. Cairns strikes again (hopefully in Melbourne's favour this time around)!

4.18 to 4.13 yeesh 

good job port though

The curse of Cairns strikes again. Just not us this time.

SO glad we don’t do cairns anymore! Players looked knackered. Be intersting to see if both teams fall away next week. 

Is that the first game where the inside 50 count for both teams exceeded their respective scores?!

1 goal 15 behinds to Saints after about 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter, horrendous display 

Cairns is a terrible terrible place to play football. 
 

So two games clear of fifth after seven rounds.

That was a slog.

I wouldn't say the Saints shot themselves in the foot. If they tried they would have missed

The last 11 scores were points - 7 to Port and that’s the game.

Lets hope the folks at Paramount didn’t catch that one…

I only saw the last few minutes of the Saints Port game in Cairns.   
Just awful skills - presumably contributed to by humidity and heat?

Maybe helps explain (if not excuse) our awful showings there and after in 2020?

Anyway, Saints will need the full week to recover it would appear. And then maybe not quite. Rather like some of our flat lining after Darwin games.  

Maybe the debilitating effects of playing in a very narrow loss in tropical Cairns, will offset the disadvantage to us of having (perhaps) 5 players returning from Covid next round.

They are tying to play like Melbourne, problem is they watched last weeks tape.

[censored] up in Cairns?   

Nah, I can't relate

Darcy gems:

kicks it to Steele - ooh he’s a good player

to Boak - such a good player

you can tell he is a student of the game

I heard him label a few solid players 'Champion' again last night.

There were no 'He's kicked an impossible goal!' last night though which is a welcome change. Not sure why he still thinks it's impossible after he calls one nearly every game.

Do you know what's the replacement home game for the Alice one?

QB vs the Pies.

Saints looked really cooked in the heat and humidity of Cairns. Wonder what the effect would be on them if they had a few instances of Covid19 through the club this week?

More like strong polycarbonate. I'd prefer Alice to sweaty Cairns  by a very wide margin.

alice doesn't have the taxing humidity of cairns or darwin
