On Saturday night in the first half of our game, I was feeling pretty negative myself. Thinking we'd get smashed if we managed to get there. Combination of frustration of how we were playing and how good pies had looked the night before. But then we turned it on. What WAS going on in the first half...

I also thought Zac was really good against Buddy earlier in the year.

Fullback could be considered the most exposed position on the ground - when you do make a mistake or get beaten the impact is often on the scoreboard so more noticeable.

It was awesome.

Even Carlton want to do whatever they can to help the Saints win!! Or maybe that should be to see the Pies lose....!

On Game Day and The Footy Show they are making a bit out of the Dal bump and BJ backhander... what do you guys think?? Surely there was nothing in either of those???

Despite the more subdued vibe of the prelim win I still have a grand final-sized hangover haha

Best bet may be to nicely ask someone at an airport cafe or bar to turn it on for you?!

GO SAINTS!

I can't get youtube at work but have goosebumps just reading the descriptions from you all!! Losing the GF made me forget about the pure joy of the week before, knowing we would play off in the big one. Thank you for reminding me - it's exactly what I need to get me in the zone for tomorrow night......

Definitely feeling a mixture of nerves and excitement! Can't wait for Saturday night but dreading it at the same time. Winning the qualifying final puts you in a nice bubble for two weeks. The pain of 09 has slowly washed away. We always hoped we would be in the mix again but to actually be here on ...

Hi everyone

Does anyone know of a pub in Sydney where they will be showing the prelim on Sat night?

Preferably in the city / Darlinghurst areas.

Thank you!

Hopefully this shot of good news won't derail what has otherwise been a disastrous season

Hahaha... Here here!

Echoing the comments of other on here it is only controversial or probably more to the point newsworthy this year because 1. It is Collingwood 2. The two so called "best teams" happen to be playing each other in the prelim because we spolied their party I always thought that the "carr...

Why should they. If you think their articles are no good just dont read them. Anyway that Geelong person picked Rooy.

Jeez.. just trying to have a joke.

There has been a marked improvement in injuries since Dave Misson took over so if they ARE doing this because he thinks it is a good idea then it is good enough for me.

I did a tour of the MCG a couple of years back - has anyone else seen that big tapestry that commemorates I think 100 years of the ground? Well it depicts all the greatest sports stars and rock stars that have graced the arena and Plugger is on there and he is wearing a Saints jumper and I have alwa...

I haven't been around this forum long enough to know if you are all taking the P155 or not but for what it's worth this reminds me of the Ben Cousins debate and the Saints declined there... so Aka a Saint not likely

If we are good enough we should be able to win it anywhere anytime! The time and location of the match is more an issue for us supporters than the players IMO... Personally I love a Friday or Saturday night game... great excuse to have a few drinks. Sundays are hard work - or more to the point work ...

It's purpose is to provide a paycheck for retired footballers who can't get a job in the media

The only way that we can truly seek redemption, truly make anyone outside the club suffer, stick it up the lot of them and feel better about everything that has happened this year (and every other damn year) is to WIN THE WHOLE THING. Am pretty confident that every player on the list, every coach, e...

AGREE!

Zac seemed to play a lot better last year when under pressure for his spot !! so hopefully if he gets back in again this will be the case. Don't get my wrong I am a fan of Zac but disappointed with his season 2010 so far esp compared to 2009 - his impromptu dental work on Buddy Franklin in Tassie wa...

Do you think Ross was waiting to see their team before deciding on Dawson?
