And spare a thought for Shane Warne who said on 360 the other night that the sure thing was that the Saints would smash the Demons. Will have to just sit in his house laughing at the parody of himself hes become while drinking bottle after bottle of his new cologne.

Gutsy win! It's the games like this that change the narrative slowly, I sat there at the start of the 4th quarter feeling like last week and just resigned to being trodded all over. Enter the missing pieces we never had before and one of them was that man May! This guy was the best player on the ground by the length of the Sturt Highway, Flemington Straight, Bass Straight (who cares I've had a few whiskys). Apart from Trac of course. He had his quiet moments but when he was called upon he delivered in style every single time. Even before the 'controversial' goal at the end it seemed like he could have easily had 1 or even 2 marks paid. There is nothing stopping this kid right now and if you want to get in his way make sure you're prepared for the nice view of the beautiful Alice night sky while lying on the ground with boot marks all over you. I thought Rivers played a massive part, when we needed to just hit targets out of the backline he did it, no questions asked. Salem was at his silkiest and I love seeing him running through the middle. Melksham had some nice kicks early but then stunk up the joint a little. Langdon has really come into his own and is almost like a wing sweeper just mopping it all up. Kicked very well tonight too! Oliver was average for 3 quarters but my word did he step up in the last. 10 possessions and 6 contested in the last quarter. There will be times when players like Clarry will be well held, but that ability to break through and play the penultimate quarter like your life depends on it. Amazing stuff. Some guys weren't at their best but cbf discussing that right now. I'll say it again, an important win for this footy club going forward. Go get em! I'm too tired now, see you all later and much love, not even gonna make it to watching the Community Shield at 1:30, gonna be a replay job tomorrow morning. Bye!

Money going firmly where mouth is. Donation made. Would actually be up for the pledge per win thing till the end of the season, might have to be slightly smaller increments though

Pretty much bang on. I was not confident about Wagner but I thought he played a decent game in the end. While it wasn't Gawn's best performance he certainly battled hard and did everything possible.

I was worried about tonight. I felt they were likely going to end up on the same wing and Hill would somehow pull out a ripper performance. As you said Langdon just patrolled that wing and actually kicked quite well tonight! If he's not the pickup of the year he has to be in the top 2 at very least.

It was something I was cringing watching wondering when we were going to make a mistake but our composure did shine through. Rivers really helped in this area. A massive test passed with flying colours, we successfully managed to kill the clock!

Hahahahahahaha *Breathes in* hahahahahahahaha. Sure Rats, your x-ray vision was good on the field but not this time!

Tonight spoke volumes that had probably already been said but seriously if Stephen May isn't playing tonight or has a honker we lose, plain and simple. The guy is making a bloody good case.

That's actually fair, he never really dropped off from anything other than being a slightly over-hyped youngster.

Have you ever seen a better performance from a Full Back? Maybe a handful of Scarlett games.

6. May 5. Petracca 4. Salem 3. Rivers 2. Langdon 1. Oliver

It was tough, it was gritty, it was not even that good, it was a win. And maybe the most important.

Relief my friends. Will take it all day!

This is it

Make a stand

Game on again

The boys have got the look in the eyes again

What a game. Cometh the hour cometh the man!

Can we actually maintain composure for the rest of the game? Seems a massive test for this group

May is on another level

Those kicks are funny when they end up costing you a game

Rivers has helped a lot too

Kick a few goals

Too right

Exactly, backline has down the job as always. Need a lot of players to lift though amd put the last few quarters behind them.
