Will be the first and most likely last AFL game I will attend in 2020. To win the first game at Adelaide oval would obviously be sweet. Will be there with a face mask on but will scream my guts out!

Todays win as well as the bulldogs win this year will rank on our record table AFL stats most accurate games with 15+ scoring shots: https://afltables.com/afl/teams/stkilda/gamer.html#12 And I think even the all time record table: https://afltables.com/afl/teams/allteams/gamer.html#12 That 18.2 agai...

We had first use, it would have been tough as a forward for the WB tonight, and Wilkie was outstanding against him. Bruce was a pretty good player at times but always seemed to fall into the trap of not getting enough separation from his opponent despite working so hard.

I don't know if Roberton is up for it. Missed so much footy and looked off the pace in Round 1.

I always liked it because that was when I started supporting the Saints. My first Saints jumper at 7yo with no number, but it would have been #35 if I got one put on.

Why don't we try New Zealand?

STOP SPRAYING SITTERS

Man oh man, has it been a long time since I've felt confident in front of goal. Easy for Lloyd to say it's easy to fix. Surprised he has us playing finals after that round 1 fade out, but maybe we needs some noise at the ground.

Sam Gilbert was a player that seemed to get less confident as his career went on. Started like a house on fire and was an instrumental part of the side in '09. Seriously go back and watch some of those games and he was a marking machine that would just take the game on and deliver it lace out again ...

I'm not torn over this. Bruce always found it pretty hard to get seperation on his opponent and have away his fare share of frees trying to pluck a mark. He was a good forward, but not a great one. Yeah our delivery wasn't the greatest. But having someone with presence who can demand the ball in the...

Yeah get him in. What have we got to lose honestly.

And put Bruce in the ruck

If we had won yesterday everyone would have said 6.5

Just like if you have a great holiday and then something really shitty happens at the end of that holiday it becomes a bad memory.

Lol. I like it. Time to try something crazy.

No wonder one of our sponsors is Pepper Money. We sure love peppering those goals

Sorry but Newnes must go. I know a few players who had bad games but I would say Newnes had an *average* game for him. Just a class below what we need.

I've never even seen Carlisle take a contested mark or lead for the ball while he has played for us, yet we constantly throw him forward late in games to try and kick a match winning goal. Wasn't that one of the reasons he left Essendon? He didn't want to play in that position. We have a natural for...

Every time I see Stuv kick goals like he did when we played him as a forward last week I think of what could have been in 2009/2010. You have a talented young speedster like Jack Steven available back then and sitting in stands. Instead, our genius coach plonks Eddy or Dempster in the forward line ...

Either way I don't mind

Heading the ball actually does its damage too over the course of a career.

Start of a great Saints career

It's definitely not the players call if you can get pinged for throwing it back for the original free

The advantage rule in AFL is the dumbest thing I have ever seen in this game. Why is it the umpires call if there is to be advantage? It should be up to the player and if they decide to dispose of the ball, then it's play on. If they decide after a second that they don't want to take the advantage t...

Don't understand why Battle wasn't thrown forward instead of Carlisle. Haven't seen Jake do a single thing in the forward line for us ever. We basically only have 1 leading forward in Membrey

I noticed he pulled his kicks rather than following through and over kicking it like usual.

so who does he replace?
every single backman we have, has far more skill and will not cause turnovers
Geary is the king of turnovers with his horrible skills

Pretty sure Coffield and Patton turned it over multiple times tonight.
