Commentators

Was great watching the match with commentators being blown away by our performance - instead of the usual bagging we have been coping this last year or so

Great 2 hours of footy

sandy Roberts, first class. What more can you say.

[Mr Magic]

I believe that Sandy Roberts is a 'die hard' Sainter.

[bergholt]

They were all barracking for us - no-one likes a Ross Lyon side.

[Verdun66]

He is...and it showed! Really enjoyed the commentary for a change.

They always barrack for the underdog, its for the neutrals watching, however today I think the likes of Dermie were genuinely excited and happy to see a huge upset and blokes like Rhys stand up.

If he is, he needs his eyes checked as he has been shocking in recent weeks. He was calling CJ Reiwoldt a few weeks ago - was Roo commentating us too? Some big supporting there too - I remember a loud YES when TC kicked a goal. Enjoyed the saints bias today

[ozrulestrace]

I'm looking forward to watching the replay.

Dermie must have been choking on his words.

[Watts the Buzz]

Sandy is definitely red, white & black. Eddie was it again though.......at one stage he said something along the lines of 'how can these guys expect to get a priority pick when they're going to knock off the second placed team'. Eddie, please leave your Collingwood Prez hat at home when you're calling games....

[StPeter]

I was at the game and listened to the 3AW commentary.

It was remarkably one sided and they were virtually cheering every StKilda goal, especially Tim Lane who actually gave us a chance before the game.

[Griggsy]

I dunno, last time I saw him commentate us anyone with blonde hair was reiwoldt haha. Even called Milera Gwilt lol.

[Bunk_Moreland]

I'm looking forward to watching the replay.

Dermie must have been choking on his words.

Dermie was genuinely being positive towards the Saints and I think it was him that cried YES when Curran kicked his goal.

He like most wanted to see an upset not a regulation borefest Freo 9-4 goal win.

Makes it interesting when the uberdefence can get rattled by a genuine 18th placed team.

We could have scored 20+ today.

[SainterK]

Dermie doesn't hate us IMO

He has strong opinions regarding lots if teams/players not just us.

Last years end was a shamozzle

Exactly. It's a big news story. Add to it Lenny and Roo's heartfelt wish to his sick sister this was something very rare and special.

Just imagine had Bruce been commentating. Would've been bigger than Cyril kicking a bag for the Hawks.

[dragit]

Are the AFL web team on holidays?, I'm waiting to see the coaches pressers… still not there 3 hours after the game.

[Scollop]

Sandy is definitely a Saints man. Dermie did his job well and special comments and expert stuff was informative and seemed quite sharp today -maybe he stayed off the turps last night

[SemperFidelis]

Replay about to start. Looking forward to "hearing" it for a change!

oh, i think he hates us...always has...but he would like seeing the dockers get a hiding...he wouldn't want his hawks playing freo in the west in a final.....

Richos has been up a while

Ross's was up around 9 pm

[supersaints]

I'm 90% sure I recall a very young Sandy Roberts saying somewhere, that he was a Carlton supporter?

He does however always seem to stand up for the underdog during match calls , and not get caught up in the how good are " Geelong, hawks , swans, etc

Quite refreshing really. , think he's always called like that.

[beartalbot]

Knew Sandy in the Western District during the 80's before he moved to Melbourne, was definitely a Saints supporter then.

I watched on my IPad having a free trial of afl live pass. Normally I would have the sound down on the telly but I kept it up for our game.

The commentators were great! It was like they were on our cause once we had a flying start. Dermie mentioned Rhys early saying he's 23 and may be a late bloomer. Even roo seemed happy for us lol. It was a joy to listen too.

Naturally I had the volume off for the Giants/cats game. Watched half of it then went to bed giddy with Saints joy.

I wrote on Facebook after our win that the kids were wondering why I was having a little cry. Lenny, Roo's sister, winless 3 months, the still pain of the losing GFs. All a factor

[saint6709]

They ( most especially Dermie) made a big deal of Billy Longer showing Clarke the scoreboard which was pretty funny

Recuitto (roo) sorry about spelling but not to confuse with our Roo, grew up barracking for the saints. Loved Tony Lockett.

Now I have slept on it , the time he said he was barracking for Carlton was when they were playing Collingwood in a grand Final. It was probably tongue in cheek with Lou Richards
