What is Lethers doing on the green stuff!

What’s the better gift from the Giants, a win giving our first finals appearance in a decade, or Jack Steele?

I really can't get over how we controlled that game after half time.

Sure it was set up for us, GWS just had to attack, no tempo football.

We won't come across that gamestyle in the finals, but that type of win gives us confidence.

We have another game lads. A weekend to relax watching footy, then a couple of weeks to take it easy.

The fast track of the team from lockdown and hub will be invaluable in the years to come. The winning away, the two wins in Adelaide, it will hold us in very good stead.

Wait to see this team tear opposition teams apart in longer games under the lid.

I’m liking your new, post-win optimism, Joff

Ryder my god. what a game!

absolute master stroke of recruiting

 

[aussierulesrules]

We've just made finals, despite having one of the very youngest and least experienced teams each week, despite only having one sort-of home ground advantage all year (v Richmond at Marvel)- and none with a home crowd advantage- and despite losing 4 games by a goal or less.

Congrats Saints fans, I’ve got a soft spot for you guys as the rest of my family follow the Sainters. Enjoy the ride. Also top job keeping the Giants to 3 goals in their final game for the second year running

I said it during the gameday thread that it was our young players that led the way tonight, Marshall, Sinclair, Coffield, Clark, Howard, Long, King and Lonie.

Some of our senior guys were good at times too like Ryder, Hill. Steele, Geary, Membrey and Carlisle but it was our young brigade that stood up tonight.

Hill was great tonight, lived up to his price tag, worked the outer wing to perfection, helped out the half backs and then set up the half forwards for goals.

Yeah...Steele was good at times..

 

[StCicatriz]

best part about this. bar is going up next year!

 

[70s sainter]

King was a genuine contributor tonight in what was a final pretty much . Loved his game except the misses .
Also you can tell after the game just how united this club is .
It wouldn’t be going unnoticed by All the other players up there .
Also Lenny Hayes beginning his long journey back to moorabbin.
Great all round .

Great win almost spoilt by an appalling commentary.

How good was Dougals effort to get back to save that goal - but barely rated a mention from the muppets.

Did anyone else notice Gears right thigh - f*** what a mess - nobody should ever doubt his commitment to the club.

 

[hawthorne00]

A fair bit of poise in defence was encouraging. That second half means not limping into the finals, but lloking like a real chance to do damage.

"This is what you get for ruining my call, Saints!"

Only 2 games we weren't in in the final 2 minutes.

You'd think a more experienced side would win a few more of those.

It's been a bloody good improvement from where we were last year.

I think people forget quickly we were a bottom 5 side with a poor percentage last year.

 

[Off Stump 89]

So pumped, won't be sleeping tonight! Even better that we did it our way and not relied on others falling down

Imagine re-signing Leon Cameron

the Giants thread, can't even be bothered doing an autopsy thread for themselves.

Loved Doogs reversing the 2010 GF replay goal square smother ... it was a sign!

 

[Tom12]

Hannebery effects winning. Didn't show on the stat sheet but he was really good tonight, and it feels so reassuring knowing we have a leader of his quality out there with us!

 

[Dr Spaceman]

So pumped, won't be sleeping tonight!

Well not face down anyway

 

[snails13]

Fairytale is on point except for the Pies still being in finals.

But yes, it'll take the AFL screwing something up and us being on the receiving end, since I'm adamant our second causes the implosion of AFL house into a professional outfit built on integrity.

Hopefully the Pies travel to WA

 

[sainterryan]

Loved Hanners effort in the song, was going off!

 

[Roddy Grant]

Dermie is one of those guys who tries to sound smart by using big or fancy words and comes off dumber using them incorrectly.

I’m also one of those guys.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Congratulations Sainters! Great effort to bounce back from a disappointing loss. Hanneberry looked good for a guy who hasn't played for a while. Fantastic effort. Well deserved.

 

[Mowman]

Imagine re-signing Leon Cameron

So glad they did LOL

 

[Plugger35]

We're gong to have a formidable midfield for our first final with Steele, Hannebery, Zac Jones. Robert Harvey Jnr (Sinclair), Clark, Billings and Seb Ross.

We bat deep.

Imagine if we had Gresh.

Unbeatable.

 

[Diehard Saint]

My is happy.
Love this club.
