While for GWS, I would have preferred Marvel and it would be logical to have it there because of the expected attendance.
But as someone said, they booked a mini golf weekend there, just as well 4 Victorian teams didn't qualify for home finals.
However, we do need as many Saints supporters at the MCG Saturday week as there will be plenty of tickets.
I mean GWS will barely fill up a mini bus with the supporters who will come down for the game, after all, as I said before, they had a home Semi-final against West Coast and West Coast had more supporters there and I believe they sold a little over 2 thousand of their allocation of Grand Final tickets .
Good team, but a joke of a club.


Think of me long enough to make a memory.

Bugger me. Can't host a world cup footy match there, but a mini golf family day out takes precedence over an afl final. There must be something in the water down there?

The stadium golf doesn't start until the Monday. I'm sure the AFL could have it at Marvel if they really wanted to.

I'll be happy to see us win a final at the 'G and hopefully to be back there two weeks later.

We are well placed as long as we turn up.
In any case exposing Phillipou, Windhager, Owens, King, NWM to finals atmosphere, Seb getting one, is a good payday.
Higgins has to fire, surely.
Love it Yorkeys!

Rationalism and Ridiculous - as all fans should be.

There would be easy counterpoints wo all of these, but why bother fighting it.

Come on Samurai..where are all the stats?

meantime, you are Right! Right! Gold, God, Gold. Alright!

Our song is cooler, 'cos it starts with 'Oh!'...

Oh my, Oh when the Saints go by
Oh how he hold our heads up high
Oh no, when the Saints go low
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

I don't mind the Giants song. But no way do i want to hear it again this year. And i won't. Mcg, Marvel, Murwillumbah, Mudgee, Maroochydore, or Marble Bar. The game is ours.

Tempo is far too fast for the average fan to sing, no ear worm chorus, need trumpeters in the change room, very braggadocio, still can't find a rhyme for Orange. Typical Sydney impracticality.

This is preposterous.

It would never happen to Collingwood or Richmond.

Take it all the way to the High Court Saints.

Make it happen Mr Lithp.

I will go out on a limb here and say
If Max trains well with no knee issues, as per RTB
then Cooper comes out for Max.
I wonder if the Hammer comes in?

He’s no certainty 🤔

Always wondered how they pick the team.
Astrology?
Fair dinkum tho
I wonder if there is ‘just an understanding’ , some tacit thing, the various assistants ‘just know’ who they should nominate and why.
Would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall.
I asked this very question here two years ? Ago.
So I am senile, but still capable of repeating the same question. Nurse, nurse! How do they pick the team?

It’s close but we’re not favourites with the bookies..probably doesn’t mean anything.
