Like so many of our posters I've been trying to come to terms with the result from last saturday. I travelled home on the train, and was back in "darkest Murrumbeena" within an hour, back to my lovely grandkids and Mrs Jigging and a glass (or ten

) of Jamesons/Merlot (whichever was closer

) Comfortably ensconsed in my home, I began to think of others who were similarly feeling the pain, but who had much further to travel than "yours truly" Good Sainters like Matrix who was travelling to Adelaide, Fans like Vietnam Saint (good to meet you Pal!) SteveStevens66 travelling back to the USA (hope you got a ticket mate)
and MarkinUSA who has come out all this way from Stateside only to be disappointed.
To you and all the other "long distance Sainters" I salute you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To take the trouble that you have to see your team makes me proud to be a part of this fantastic Saints family!
May I say that you will ALWAYS have a friend in the Jiggster and are always welcome to join me for a pre-match drink!
Love to you all and safe travels!
