Congrats on going from flag favourites to limping into the finals on the back of another side.Well played deserved the win!
You’ve beat our VFL team in the final seconds of match to remove yourself from the blanketed top 6 in the draft along with securing a tougher draw next year.
Appreciate the finals like tune up and well done again
Brisbane will appreciate the tune up you’ll be giving them.
If you think we're not better off by having picks 5 and 6 over 7 and 8, you're not being realistic. It gives you more choice to pick a player who we think would fit our specific needs. It's not worthless... saying so is ridiculous.
Likewise, if you think having a winning culture has no merit whatsoever, you're also misguided. The fact is we got our game looking much better at the back end of the season. That bodes well for next year.
There's no real way right now to measure which would have benefited us more. Time will tell.
At the end of the day, we've got the picks we've got. Hopefully we can use them well and the club can improve in all areas. There's a lot of room for growth with both players and coaching imo. Personally I was happy to see us play a better style of footy towards the end of the season.

There is also a huge difference between actual tanking, and just not trying for the last 5 minutes of the final game when the team had already shown more than enough heart the previous 2 months.
No self-respecting St Kilda fan would ever call beating Carlton irrevelant especially if you have the slightest inkling about our history
Haven't won a thing since last century since they couldn't cheat with Brown paper bags.
Their faces at the end of the game. Will be seeing that again in Brisbane

I'm wondering how many of the people upset we won were actually at the game today.
Because I have a hard time believing that, if you were actually at Marvel Stadium today, you could be disappointed we got the win. Just with the sheer amount of Blues fans there and the atmosphere and noise they created - especially in the last quarter. It was one of the most memorable wins I've ever been to. Winning in that way (while overwhelmingly outnumbered by opposition supporters), in the dying seconds, was unbelievable - ladder position be damned.
Seeing the look on the players' faces after Higgo's goal. The energy of the Saints fans. The way they celebrated on the siren - the players on the bench running onto the field to embrace their teammates.
If you were at the game today and are still upset we won, you need to get your heart checked.

I just love that 2 weeks in a row we've made ppl cry in the stands, that's worth more than 2 spots in any draftHaven't won a thing since last century since they couldn't cheat with Brown paper bags.

That last 12 seconds
The crying faces
A thousand no.1 picks. Not a win since the 20th century, and you think you have something to crow about.
Go and assault an umpire you scum.

Think Jones just got himself a new contract based on RTB's presser.

There's no guarantee the clubs below us have better recruiting departments. There's a reason we finished above the suckas.

Carlton fans are easily the dumbest, most pathetic fans in football. You think they'd be grateful and humble about this god gifted second chance considering what a miserable hole their board was barely an hour ago. No, actually, time to troll the team that just beat them. Massive losers. Arrogant flogs of the lowest order. Brisbane will break them and I can't wait 
Makes sense
Jones has been a different player since he has come back in.
Has changed how he plays and is a lot more effective.
They are mostly inbred trogs, how can they even operate a phone?Carlton fans are easily the dumbest, most pathetic fans in football.

Them going down by 100+ against the Lions in a couple of weeks is easy money.

Loved Ross mentioning the ridiculous travelling draw we had (“travelled 6 times in rounds 4 to 14. felt like we were an interstate team”).
Hopefully there was enough heat put on the afl by the board that it doesn’t happen again next year.
Someone mentioned that it is actually against the rules that you have a 5 day break off the back of an interstate trip - which of course we got.
