Just watched the replay...

And I have a strong sense of calm about me.

It's always great to watch the replay because you miss so many little things live at the game.

Firstly, I have to sy that I'm so proud of our team's effort. The commitment of all players cannot be questioned. They left everything they had on the field.

Secondly, giving your best doesn't mean you're good enough to win a flag. There will be some tough and I suspect unpopular decisions made within the next few weeks.

Thridly, the game could have gone either way. Play it again this week, and the result could easily be reversed. There was nothing in it.

Fourthly, we lost to one of the greatest teams of recent times. There is no shame in going down to Geelong. I felt they had our measure in the last quarter. Interestingly, almost every player acknowldged our biys after the game.

Yes, we didn't take our chances by missing easy goals. But there were a few unlucky things that didn't go our way. But you make your own luck, and Geelong made theirs.

There's some major defiencies in our squad which will need to be addressed, and that's fodder for other threads.

All I know is that I'm proud of the boys and coaching staff... and I'm confident that we'll bounce back next year.

Bring on 2010!

Not really. I sat there stunned onSaturday, so I like to watch the replay so that at least I can be clear on what actually happened... rather than what's posted on here.

BTW, I reckon Raph kept trying all day.

Sure, I plan on watching it, just not for a couple of days...

BTW, you won't get me arguing Milton, they all tried so very hard.

Just watched the last quarter. My heart sank just as much the second time.

The Schnieder hold was a major umpiring decision that should not have been ignored, the umpires didn't want to make the hard call.

Two umpiring calls -who knows.

Another goal would have made it at least interesting- thats history now.

I started f****** crying again. Sweet jesus...

There was so nothing in it. A split hair either way.

It's exhausting to even think about let alone revisit on TV...

I actually feel better for having watched it. As you know, it was frantic on the day.

At least I've had my own questions answered, and I can be at peace that we gave it everything on the day.

But as I said... giving everything and being good enough to win are two seperate issues.

gee - i found it almost unbearable just watching the 2 min fox highlights on the web.

I still haven't bought a newspaper let alone watched a replay

Went to the family day, bought every newspaper, watched the replay and it still doesnt stop hurting -so much for flood therapy.

Just watched the first 3/4 on FF then the last q and aftermath on normal.

Anyway, bring on the B&F then the 2010 season.

Why was everyone rushing this year anyway, by round 18 alot of you willed the finals to come around quickly....I hold you all responsible that footy is over already!

How can you do this to yourselves?

I'm afraid to scroll through the Foxtel guide with the remote in case I happen to see "2009 Grand Final Replay" listed.

I missed my first On the Couch and Footy Classified for the year. I love those two programs so much. My Monday night is not complete without them.

Just seeing the back page of the Sun this morning made me cringe - "Purrfect".

I watched on the couch, but footy classified finished last week I think...In some weird way, I just needed to hear if people were giving us any respect....I won't watch the game for a little while yet.

Well, you are in luck. You didn't miss Footy Classified as it was not on. Finished last week. Only On the Couch and One Week At A Time were on this week. Watched parts of one and will 'try' to watch the other tomorrow. Still hurts too damn much!!

Milan Faletic · Tue 29 Sep 2009 1:04am

Not ready yet but retaped it and On The Couch and One Week at a Time and The Winners. I will just sit on them for a while.

This is still the only Saints game I have never rewatched on replay including 97. I still have not read a paper or watched any tv footy shows or news since the loss. I can't avoid it at work (as some of you know) but I have actually not listened to the radio in the car or house since the final siren.

Pretty difficult given my profession, but I just can't do it...yet. This is the only place I have truly discussed the game.
