dont think so.
IF we beat sydney we play the loser of geelong/hawthorn
Ah, true...but I've sailed past that, Saints in a canter.

Piece of cake we have a good record at Subiaco.
Everyone's got a good record at Subi the last couple of years, except West Coast. The bloody Pies could go out in straight sets and it wouldn't benefit us at all...we'd be better off if they hung in there. Not that I'm suggesting they're done. I am suggesting pretty well anyone could beat them though.

I can't believe anyone is saying this doesn't matter though, it matters an awful lot surely?
Why does it matter and why didnt it matter when we played Adelaide last year? Seriously people either have short memories or dont follow clubs in other competitions when they play their last game of the year when nothing can happen.
This isn't just a little loss, this is an absolute spanking.
Yep and probably proves how little it matters. Easy to see why people change their mind weekly instead of looking at the bigger picture. Just look at the papers tomorrow. The bookies will be the only sensible ones when the odds hardly change at all.
I'll be tipping West Coast.
37 scoring shots to 12, don't buy it plugger, otherwise they may as well of done a Hawthorn and rested their stars.
LOL they have won 20 games for the year.
Nothing guaranteed but as a betting man what more could they do.

Serously don't understand how people get satisfaction from that.
They won the flag, a flag last year. Against us.
They play for greatness there forward. Who the hell as a pies supporter would give a hoot about a loss at round 22 after winning 20 games wight he best percentage ever..?
Nothing compares to the flag of last year... Not even losing the next five in a row. Well at least from my perspective as a StKilda supporter that has never seen one.

I reckon a Pies supporter might be looking nervously at St Kilda 2009, but besides that, everything else you wrote is spot on. Had WE served Collingwood tonight, it'd be a bit more satisfying...we've got to wait our turn.

Us serving the pies means little. Unless it's a GF.
Maybe im just different.
Won't feel justified in sticking it to them until we have a cup.

Well spinner, as a success starved supporter anyone who can get a little bit of enjoyment out of seeing a cocky, arrogant filth side get smashed for the 2nd time this season, by a quality side,and seeing a team that beat us arrogantly in last seasons dual Grand Final, with a former backman as an assistant coach and a former St.Kilda captain in the midst.... Is bloody well entitled to it. What do you reckon? Too hard to fathom?
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Smashed twice?
If I was a Pies supporter I would laugh at you.
And I would have invited you to look properly at tonight's score, because you had your friggin' pants pulled down and totally humiliated!! Do you need glasses? Oh that's right, they tossed the game!

Yeah, but they'll probably rebound like one of Jason Gram's disposals next week...there's not a lot of satisfaction in that...they're playing West Coast at home.
Got to unfortunately agree with Plugger and others here. No enjoyment of watching one of our rivals beat another one of our rivals. It proves next to nothing in the context of finals.
I don't hate the Pies, I love the Saints. I feel the same about Collingwood as I do about Geelong and Adelaide.
Seems like a lot of people are more passionate about Collingwood losing than on us winning, which is just perverse.
If we keep winning games and there are no surprises in the other games, we will play Sydney, Hawthorn, Collingwood and Geelong on our path to the Premiership. That's all anyone here should care about.
People taking this hatred of the Pies too far, IMO. Basically it poses more questions about you than them.
Just My Opinion
------------------------------------------------
Opposition sides will spend the next week pouring over the Cats' long-kicking gameplan last night. To overcome the Pies' trademark defensive press, Geelong went quick and long to the teeth of goal at every opportunity. At half time, the Cats had 113 kicks to 66 handballs.
We could do that if we had someone who can take a contested mark in or near the square.
Maybe that's what Ross has in mind for Kosi or McEvoy with Gardi brought back in.

A fired up Bulldogs side weary of the fact we took them out in the Prelim the season before.
Ride the storm this season Saints! Hard work over the next few rounds could see us as legitimate challengers to this seasons flag! That's what I'm talkin' about!
If you think this matters you obviously didnt see us play Adelaide in the last round of last year.
I did. But this is 1 v 2. And the Cats are playing on and running like madmen. They are showing the rest how to do it. It matters alright. Just look at Mick in the box.
did you see it on tv or were you there
because i was there and being there is better than tv
no
wait
hang on, tv's better than being there
F*** I'd like to see them out in straight sets with a recurrence of the Colliwobbles.
Is the W word win the GF. I cant believe people think this game matters to the pies at all. I do agree though it is great confidence to Geelong but as we are on their side of the draw I dont find it that much fun.
They've lost Johnson and Tarrant and now Cloke's hobbling down the race and will lose to Geelong again.
I can't believe you don't think it matters, even a bit.
Injuries matter but the result means nil, nothing, zero. So far every injury unluckily doesnt look like anyone will miss.
Just hope it's a f-cking template for tomorrow night. One more pub meal in Spencer St this year would be nice. I'm not selfish.
What this does show is we have no excuse tomorrow. The Blues have nothing to play for and we have everything. If we lose tomorrow no one can expect us to win the following week. Huge game and should win easily.
Great post. Typical sense from plugger.
STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY.

This is my take. Geelong matched the Pies when the game was hot. And beat them. About half way through the second term, Collingwood put the cue in the rack, and as we have seen against Melbourne, Gold Coast and countless others, if you give Geelong an inch in the form of minimal pressure, Geelong will run 20 miles in the form of 20 goals.

Definent cracks in Collingwood,the signs have been there for the past month. However they were that far in front of everyone it wasn't funny.
They'll beat West Coast next week,get the week off,get everyone back for the prelim and reload. Not ideal going into a final series with key players underdone,it may be there undoing.
I still think they'll win it,but I reckon Hawthorn are a big big show, Cats also obviously
As for taking pleasure from it....dunno,always good to see human filth annoyed, but then I am reminded by the fact that we lost back to back premierships after being in front in time on in the last quarter to both clubs last night. We have minus zilch to gloat about,it sucks to be us
If this game meant nothing then why did the pies risk injured players.
There time is up.
It was played at the ground where they play 18 Games !!!!! a year !!!!
The karma train is heading straight to the Liar of a coach his big mouthed
president & arrogant team of players.
Hope you have to juggle injured players around just as the saints had to
do last GF unlike you scum that had NO such injuries.
p.s nice to see their supporters depart the MCG at 3/4 time....ferals.
Fail to see what this has to do with us, except that now we have two team we cant get close to.
Lance or James??

collingwood were one win from having the greatest season ever.
they bottled it.
too scared to get hurt and miss finals.
let's hope that same fear haunts every game, with players wanting that medallion around their necks.
just a gutless performance.
no pride.
hope karma hits them.
also learned that i would rather face the hawks in the second week.
but of course - we have to make it that far.
"The starting point of all achievement is desire. "
It is a kick up the arse for the filth (which they probably needed) and a confidence booster for the ferals. I could be wrong, but that's the way I see it.
