Go Saints

Huge win to GWS closes the percentage gap

Adelaide vs Sydney on the other side also an important game to us

We’ll know a lot about where things are at in 2 hours

Clark the sub

RTB talking about how the season has been tough for Steele due to his body.

Emphasised that they’ve prioritised fitness and prep this season
Emphasised that they’ve focused on moving the ball forward in numbers

I'm not feeling particularly optimistic tonight, but we are surely in with a chance.

Geeeez that 50m was a blessing

It was there as the tackle was rough but Higgins certainly looked to play on then stopped

Hope he’s ok

Atrocious play by Geelong in defence

How do Max King and Cooper Sharman go up in a pack and get hands to it unopposed
King gets the mark and goal, if he wasn’t there, Coop would have had it

FFS we must be the kings in conceding goals in the last minute.


Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Right now in this game, Jack Steele is an absolute liability. Isn’t up to the speed of the game and his intensity around the contest is not good enough.

Geelong are injury ravaged, never going to get a better chance than this to get them.

Good start 👍

Good to see King roaming up the wings to contest. Must be feeling fit.

OK quarter but we should be up by 4 goals

Once again cough up a goal in the last minute ..... nearly 2 goals

Steele and Crouch are pbly it for us.

Both haven’t had great starts and the middle is where this game will be won. It looks to me like we are very dangerous up forward and if we can get some decent supply I reckon our forwards will blast them away. Sinclair is doing his bit, Ross has started well… we need some dominance though

Phillipou is useless. Unbelievably slow and drops marks.

Inside 50's are 18 to 6 our way

We are wasteful. They are efficient

Around the ground it seems we lose the 1-1 contests and we get pushed out of the way or can't stop them when they're hemmed in.

Our guys seem skinny, weak or unbalanced
