So we were in the top 4 race with six weeks left, we were in the finals race until about a fortnight ago, and somehow we end up with pick 5. All it took was for us to blow a meaningless game and a couple more results to go our way. Jack Higgins may have single handedly revived us! You beauty. And we get some delicious Blues tears for dessert. Great finish to the year!

So we just finished 14th. 

To be honest, I hate seeing us that low on the ladder. 

But if you’re going to have a down year (and let’s hope it’s just one year down), may as well make it as bad as possible. Getting pick 5 after being in the finals race with 3-4 games to play has its upside.

Best ending to a game this season!

We might have missed finals but it's great to see Collingwood, Essendon and (hopefully) Carlton sharing the pain.

Reminds me of a few years ago when we had to beat Collingwood in the final game to make the 8 (we lost) but still had a chance if West Coast won after us (they lost).

As good as it gets. Now Freo to draw with a kick after the siren. 

Now that would be orgasmic.

And The filth ended ninth.

Perfect ending.

I just don’t reckon the Dees would have fought that hard if we were in the Saints place. Very impressive given nothing but pride on the line. 

There was that last round game in 2020 was it? Where we put everything on the line and we were all super proud of the ‘new Dees’, but we so often capitulate in those kind of games…

Higgins goal very much like Kossie in Round 22 2022. Even better was it happened to Carlton again in Round 23.

Welcome to demonland pick 5

Suns do the business

Ditto Saints.

Our inability to hit a target inside 50 does the rest.

Hello pick 5.

Pick 5 changes the Houston dynamic from our perspective.

That's a high pick in what is apparently a strong top 10 or so in the draft (though how often do they some variation of that).

Not sure. 
Might have to ask my mates who go for Ess, Carl, Tiges etc. 
Specialists in fighting over position 9-18. (After being in finals contention)

[640MD 3,490]

Picked the blues but barracking for sainters.  I remember last year they were losing all game you heard nothing we panicked in the last two minutes   Gifted them the game and they celebrate as if they were champions all blooody day

 

Stuff them as hard as possible

Let's see them winge about bad frees now.

Cripps always does and gets away with it. 
Maybe they will retrospectively review the score review 🤗

[640MD 3,490]

So PICK 5.  You do not trade pick 5 unless it’s for another or two first round picks 

uou pick a player !

[Ollie fan 3,622]

Surely Carlton losing was karma after that disgraceful act by their "supporter".

I'm surprised a Carlton player didn't claim they touched it

[sue 9,171]

Interesting that the commentators who made such a fuss about the free kick count when it favoured st Kilda said nothing when it was almost even at the end. Even BT’s arithmetic skills would show there must have been a similar ‘bias’ to make it even at the end

As it first came off the boot, I really thought it wouldn't make the distance

[DiscoStu17 825]

Actually, the only thing better than that result would’ve been:
Saints, to win by 150 points (roughly),

Putting the filth into pos 8 (briefly)

Then

Freo and Port to draw 😈😈

We'd have lost by 10 goals

[layzie 34,326]

OH WHEN THE SAINTS!!

Firstly I'd like to thank trusty Kayo. Was watching on 20 minute delay and was at that last boundary throw in with 30 seconds left and then it suddenly flashed forward to 5 mins after the game. Like having an orgasm stolen.

[BDA 23,015]

Freo no guarantee. it would be typical of them to let everyone down
