It is absolutely disgusting how Max Hudghton has been dropped from the side. He will probably retire this year as the 9th longest player for the Saints with no match send off, no thank you, no nothing. I could not help but feel for him, watching the 3 Melbourne players get their dignified send off ...

That brought such a proud smile to my face, that I think I might go watch the 66 grand final now!

About 10 minutes, basically just reaffirming what they've already told us in their pressers.

The captain and coach were just interviewed on Fox Sports News. Roo was asked about his goal kicking, to which he answered that he has been quite happy with his conversion this year and actually feels quite confident kicking! He was also asked about his knee, to which he gave the regulation "al...

Pies = pfffft. Adelaide = pfffft.

I haven't been as confident of the Saints winning this weeked since last years prelim...erm...so maybe I should be worried?

Yes, maybe you should!

The wauy the so called "experts" were talking about us "on the couch" last night anyone would have thaught we scrapped into the 8 on % or something. Seriously we must be the worst 20-2 top side in teh history of the game! Still the worse Mike Sheehan, James Hird and their ilk sa...

The more the "experts" question and doubt our ability to seal the deal, the happier I am.

Personally, I'm so calm and confident in our boys that it scares me!

Destiny is in their hands, all I can do is believe.

No use complaining about something that you can't fix, but the double chance does come with consequences, as the loser of Sunday's qualifying final ends up playing the winner of the Crows/Dons match next Saturday, thus gives them a six day break. Whereas the winner of the Crows/Don match get an eigh...

Since our odyssey for a premiership began (arguably since 2003), it is interesting to note that this will not only be our fourth top four finish in six seasons, but the first time we technically have a home qualifying final and also the first time we will start as favorites; though that could easily...

Hard to know the psych of football players and their administrators who are already guaranteed a top four finish. Externally, they say they fear no one and that it's irrelevant who they play week one of the finals. Ie, Malthouse. I agree, it should be irrelevant who you play, as if you're going to b...

Raph, say what you like but I'm liking his contribution and was pleased with his run. Also, there has been concerns and rumors about his fitness of late, but thought Chips was getting some good ball today. Also, WE WON! Don't care who the opposition were, we needed a win, just to give our boys a con...

We are 20-2, a fit list, great depth to chose from, have stepped up in all the pressure games this year, a smart coach, good gameplan and have confidence in each other. Think back to 04/05/06 ... we were injured, unfit and inconsistent going into the finals ... Bring it on Sainters. Finals is Round...

Been a big fan of his since he came to the club and so far this year has been a very important player for us. But after his stupid antics last week which arguably cost us a clear free kick late in the game and a chance to tie the scores, I wouldn't be surprised if he's made to sit this one out and ...

For the past 3 games we've given the Kangaroos a 5 goal start!!! I'm sure we did it in our previous game this year and then at Carrara last year. In fact we didn't score our first goal at Carrara until the 2nd quarter and by then I was convinced we had lost and our season was over. Actually when we...

I hate to play devil's advocate but... what if we lose to Melbourne in a close one? First vs Last. I feel sick at the thought. We won't lose, but I'd be pretty concerned if we did. What if we lose this week but win the granny? What if we smash the Dees but lose the first final? What if we beat the ...

As tedious as the last two weeks have been for club and supporters alike, we have had our losses, the baggage of being the first truly undefeated team has been lifted and frankly I'm stoked! Who really wanted to run the risk going through the home and away series undefeated, only to lose an importan...

Once the game is over, Ross will probably leave the presser to Riewoldt (or whoever is acting captain, as Roo may not play) and head straight to the game.

I cannot believe what I’m reading here - Schneider the Scapecoat!! So Schneider did a stupid thing, but these Umpires are supposed to be PROFESSIONALS, not influenced by a player’s petulance. If a free needs to be paid, then it MUST be paid. It should NOT be overlooked because an umpire feels s...

Hardly surprising.

Anyone with the slightest of niggles, Misson restricts them to light duties.

No point stressing his knee at training, only to come up sore come match day.

Should've got a kick up the backside from the coaching staff and then move on. Big factor for us come finals. We need him confident and firing.

Probably a fair enough call!
