Tough game next Sunday. Trip to Subi will be hard following todays game. They touched us up last year when we were ultra confident of getting the 4 points.
Great win today.
8 Weeks to go!!!
CARN SAINTERS!
Bring on the Eagles!

Perth teams would be pleased for the defeat of the cats
as they had been in a similar possition to us - taking place in a tight as hell match that only resulted with the cats victory by a hair.
The thing is..the untamable beast is heading Perth's way. And unlike cats, we dont tend to choke at Subi. As far as i can recall

Being a WA saints fan its always a game that you would like to win & after such a heroic effort this week I'm a little worried it might be hard to back up such a performance . West Coast much to my annoyance have had the wood on us for a while , lets hope they're not the first team to beat us or the media over here will have them back as a genuine premiership contender.

Posted this on a bogfooty thread - thought it rang true in this thread too.
Basically, I'm not too worried about next week. I'm more worried about the week AFTER that.
Adelaide looms as a massive danger game for us for the same reasons I think.
anyway, here's my reasoning as to why i think we will beat West Coast and why past performances against the eagles may not matter in next week's game....

No matter how bad the bombers are and how good we are, we ALWAYS struggle against the bombers. I can't even rememeber the last time we beat the bombers by more than eight goals.
West Coast are similar, after we won three consecutive eyars in Western Australia against them, (97,98,99) we have won one since - Harve's 350th.
At docklands, we had a draw in our first match and have thumped them in every other much or lost.
For me, this year is about putting our s*** history behind us.
Being able to beat Port in Adelaide - CHECK
Being able to prove we deserved in the top four last year - CHECK
Standing up in big games - TO BE CONFIRMED (EDIT - Although today was pretty big but I define big as two things - finals at the MCG, that's where the big dance takes place)
Winning , lost of our interstate games and improving our APPALLING interstate record - TO BE CONFIRMED - one win of our last three i/s games will result in a check
Performing even under instense pressure - CHECK (Sydney, Roos, Carlton, brisbane and Essendon. In fact throw the backs to the wall Builldogs in there as well) (EDIT - now we can add geelong as well!!!)
Winning our second grand Final - TO BE CONFIRMED. in fact, first we have to just make it.
The bottom line is we still have a week's break. That's the maximum seven days to recover and even though it includes flying over there, all we have to do is not be complacent and respect the eagles.

Yes, weren't we here this time last year? Just knocked off the Hawks only to fall over without a whimper to the Weagles. I'm sure it will be in the back of our boy's minds, and I'm sure Gardiner would like to attone for his last visit home (Woosha's mind games got to him me thinks).
How are we going to combat Subi's wide open spaces? The guys will be pretty sore and exhausted after rolling the Cats.
