We looked similarly good for half a quarter in NT. We've been well on top of them but Saints have locked down games multiple times all year. They are a hardcore "margin minimisation" team. Give them a sniff and they score quickly.

4 more fumbled handballs from middle

Lindsay let that tackle go.

One umpire said not 15, while the other was screaming pay it, pay it. Didn't have much choice but to let go. Chaos

Kozzie getting heaps of attention

Windsor looks great around stoppages, early days but his best game for the year

He destroyed them last time we played. Same as NWM did us. No wonder they’re paying him close attention.

Well if the Saints are 12 - nil when behind at quarter time it will take a massive stuff up on our part to lose this.

bailey can expect a knock on his door at 7 tmr morning asking for him to pee in a cup

Can’t complain about the umpires that quarter.

The bump on XL far more problematic than the May incident last week—was intentional and was not a play on the ball. But it won’t even result in a fine much less a suspension.

Nice forward foray frustrated by the siren.

Fritsch playing a blinder

Would be nice to c JVR grab a game by the scruff of the neck and take off from there.

Had one of his worst games for the year against them what are you talking about ?

Sterling quarter of footy. 6 marks inside 50 and delivery some of our best this season. Leading tackles 21 to 12 as well.

If we started more games this year with even half this intensity I'd have no doubt we'd be playing finals.

I hope we don’t switch off.

Expect a few changed tactics from Ross, which will get the Saints back in the game.

My mistake I got the rounds confused

Still, he’s our most damaging player

100%. Intentional front on bump late after the ball had left the area. Barely registered a free kick and won't even get looked at. The game is f****d

My god after 30 minutes after getting in I finally found a seat.

It was like a maze. Every part of level 3 we went to was shut & the part that was open on the wing was packed.

Now found a spot behind the goals.

This stadium is frustrating

Thanks. I'll stop feeling guilty about never going to Darklands.

It was nice seeing Fritsch turn back the clock like that

Fantastic Fritta with five marks.

Vintage Viney.

Precision from Chin.

Prolific Rivers.

Our best quarter for the year.

Good start today. Amazing what a difference more accurate shooting does...

Good to see Fritsch smashing it in the air and on the scoreboard!

Fritsch looking very good. Playing as a half forward provides so much more options up forward with the separation and making us a lot more unpredictable.

He isn’t as physical as McCreery, but similarities are there in terms of the hard running Fritsch has been doing over the last few weeks, first class.

The goal sense that Fritsch possesses at his best cannot be coached. Hoping he doesn’t leave.

Yeah unfortunately windhager smashed kozzy last time, revenge today i hope

Why take Fritsch off? It's not like he was gassed

Sums up our year

Zero common sense
