How many Saints have had finals experience?

[shanegrambeau]

Hanners, Butler, Geary, ???

I’m thinking about the Bulldogs and their smashing last year in the Elimination Final and any advantage they may have as a result of seeking avenge their lost pride. (I’m sure that is not correct English, but I know what I mean)

You make a good point Shane. Hopefully they are still scarred by the loss and it's playing on their minds.

I have never felt that or understood that psychological state you mention..and i know it is often used to make a point.

Personally, in my experience, if i get a public smashing, and I am compelled to appear before the courts a second time, I come out fighting like a biatch,

However, if it is not an organized thing...e.g. say i got humiliated in a social situation, at a bar, at work in a certain room, or whatever, yes, then Yes, I definitely hide like a pussy.

But this is a game. It is decided and there will be a bell to start it and finish it, and there will be a few thousand watching it at the ground (I don’t think the 20K crowd the AFL suggest will emerge - I would say Adelaide people don’t give a flying about either team - but there is still a final and a record and a decent TV audience , and of course ‘legacy’. What did you do in 2020? We made the finals and we made an impact vs we made the finals and got smashed.

I am so happy that we have so many players with finals experience and if it is a battle between scar tissue and triumph of the will (thanks Hitler) I hope that our boys somehow make the psychological equation a positive.

Wow...fantastic. Thank you.

I just wouldn’t have dreamed we had so much finals experience. These lads can talk to the others this week.

Here I was assuming we had a major disadvantage to the Bulldogs because of last year. Bullies will still be hellbent on avenging their loss last year, but we might have a lot more poise than I assumed.

Dan Hannebery - 21 finals!! Geez..Sounds like he played in the First World War!

Pretty sure Brad Hill played in 3 premierships.
