We just keep getting better and better
In all belief, I think our last two weeks have been the best football we've played all year.
Two "smokies" for the upset premiership, loss is due, yada yada yada. We go out and smash them.
We haven't even tried. We've been flicking that switch on and off and conserving energy brilliantly.
We comprehensively outplayed and shut down any chance the Dogs had. This was with a haphazard forward structure and in a game that involved very tight packs, we were missing our most keen in and under midfielder.
That last quarter, when Riewoldt and Milne simply went ballistic... that was amazing - they were pushing for a hope, and we just exploded and buried them.
Goddard, world class. Dal Santo, world class. Hayes, world class. We're unbelievable. No one can touch us.
Every week I begin to believe more and more.

pised myself laughing watching the replay actually....the dumb commentator remarks that the bullies are starting off the last quarter with 7 in their forward zone......
...well yes....you can do that if you pop one or two extra on the field......don't get caught though......talk about dullbogs........they are flowering dumb alright...can't count to save themselves...or the game.....

We tried just like we did against Geelong. It is just that we had the opportunity to ice the clock against Adelaide and the Bulldogs.
To say we haven't tried is to dismiss the greatness of the teams play in thoses two games.
They have been absolutely awesome.
Seems our slump was from about R9 to R12 where we only won by about three goals a game
Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>.

The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

The last 2 weeks have seen a clinical display of power footy that I'v never seen this team play.
Let's be honest here... we are a great team and the only thing that stands between us and a flag is Geelong. There are no excuses this year.
This is the best I have seen us play in all my 45 years of following the Saints.
A premiership aside, it appears that all off field decisins have been vindicated.
Whilst thelid is on, the past 4 weeks have shown me that we are the best in the AFL at the moment.
Simply awesome displays. I was expecting close games againts the Dogs and Crows, only to leave the ground stunned.
Go you good things!
