You can build a season on those kind of acts

Courage, hardness, committment, willingness for the contest.

Horrific injuries, that I hope are not in vain.

I don't care about the season anymore as far as win / loss, I just want to see these guys rewarded for sticking it out and persisting, until things started to turn around.

I love how this team never drops it's head, it keeps fighting, that right there is what this St Kilda is built on.

Beautifully said. Shaun D and Blakeys commitment to the contest when the game was done and dusted..well..you just have to be so proud of them

Let's hope we look back to Round 10 as the turning point.

We are not dead yet, great win, trust Ross Lyon a lot, we knew intensity had to build slowly in 11, this may be the beginning.

By the way, anyone know how to watch games live on the Internet from Dubai, it's tough being out of the Melbourne footy scene, cheers.

I wont get carried away ,but there is a chance... A chance we are on the verge of a mid season resurrection.

We are still way off the radar.

Can we surprise the pies? They surely havd an elite midfield. And coming back from perth is a big ask.

Geelong showed them up a couple of weeks ago. Then last week, Adelaide showed them up for 3quarters.
Collingwood are good, but i don't think they're in top form. Suppose we'll see tomorrow.

Whilst I take on board what u r saying, I wouldnt read too much into their form at this stage of the year. They weren't travelling like world beaters this time last year either. It was after the melbourne queens b'day game that they lifted the tempo.

Against Geelong apparently they did a lot of specific experimenting. i.e. less rotations, players in different possies etc.

i don't think players getting injured via friendly fire is a barometer for how the team is travelling...i think it's less flattering than that....

Not sure about that. Shows the committment to the ball what ever the situation is especially Dempster and Blake.

Not sure why your not sure because i'm sure it's not not a good measure

J. Steven's in the last quarter has to get a mention!

He could have been worse than BJ and Dempster put together by putting himself in that situation!

Gets cleaned up - then pretty much in the same play bobs up on the end of pass on the flank and pots it from 50m!

Incredible stuff.

I know its an old cliche but what I liked most was there were no stand-out perfoirmances - no plugger kicking 10.
Real team effort. about 16 or 20 blokes just played with super high intensity all day. Makes footy pleasurable to watch when you see so much effort from so many.
