[desertsaint]

Of the 7 deadly sins this one should be renamed from pride to sloth.

[bigred]

Must have gone out on the piss last night.

[Premium89]

Sheesh the umpires have clocked off too - letting a lot go - jack steven might be a little thankful for that after that Parker headlock.

[Ghost Like]

Great goal Benny!

[BarryGrogan]

Liking Long off half back.

[desertsaint]

Nice goal benny.

[freely]

Ben long is our best player. Give him the captaincy

[DJ Higgins]

Nice long, nice

A dead rubber game for both teams and we’re still on track for a lazy 10 goal loss. When will this torture against the Swans end? Come on Saints...

EFA: 100 point loss.

You seem obsessed with this.

[Wayne42]

Only 1 goal innit, who'd have thought.

No, it's level.

[The_Dud]

Gee whiz swans have switched off

[George27]

Finally hitting the scoreboard. Go Saints !

[Bruce G McAbee]

Swans have had a habit of starting well, then fading away.

We have often lost by similar amounts to this mob when they had far superior sides - and that goes the same for the other teams we have played previously.

Our third quarters have been appalling all year - let's hope they prove me wrong - I hope so. But body language - with the exclusion of Acres and Bruce* who have stood up - isn't filling me with a lot of confidence.

EFA: * and the ex Swans Membrey and Hannebury (who have more than held their own too).

[Premium89]

Jeez the fox commentators are annoying - we’ve gone from “embarrassing” to “giving the game a heartbeat” to “dominating” in the space of about 4 minutes!

Wouldn’t say we’re dominating just yet...

[Ghost Like]

Seb, the impossible to make up for the possible.

[Ghost Like]

There's a lesson in spotting up someone inside 50. Thank god he missed.

Nathan brown has had a couple of good moments, looks like he’s keen for another year.

That's better Dunstan.

Down by 1. So we’re a third of the way there.

[Wayne42]

Steele hacks a point, scores are LEVEL.

[The Fireman]

who re signed Newnes ? wtf ???

[saintsRrising]

Much better quarter. A little cleaner.

Add some classy ball users and we could have a much better year next year. Ni pressure on Bytel or what....

Please, please land Brad Hill.

[saintsRrising]

Lonie. Since coming back he has not been the player he was prior to injury. Just cannot seem to use the ball as well as he should at present.
