YOU know you’ve really blown a game when you make it onto ESPN’s SportsCenter.
Welcome to the club St Kilda.
The Saints featured on Scott Van Pelt’s “Bad Beats” segment following their horror last 70 seconds against Port Adelaide.
But no matter how much research the Americans do, they just can’t get their heads around Aussie Rules.
“It looks like they’re playing with a giant squash,” was the standout analysis during the hilarious segment.
Paddy Ryder was given the three votes, with Van Pelt in awe of his stunning ruckwork (or tip) to Robbie Gray.
“Good tip. Look at that tip,” he said.
However, his co-host was more interested in the boundary umpire throwing the ball in, letting out an enthusiastic “weeeeeeeee”.
The show even found some time to have a crack at the AFL over the lack of goal-line cameras.
Just like Sydney coach John Longmire, who has campaigned for better score review technology, Van Pelt couldn’t believe the lack of camera angles.

Re: Saints make it to ESPN- unfortunately
Nothing wrong with global television exposure. AFL bang on about 'exporting the game', looks like we exported it by accident.
Not to worry, press on.
Not to worry, press on.
USELESS FACT: The WADA case against Essendon (in Sydney as well) is exactly 10 years to the day that Australia qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
