Umpire 25 is still offended that Wilkie pointed out he was a total muppet back in Round 1 ...

... also, looking forward to a week of listening to the whinging ...

"St KiLDa HaVEn'T BEatEn AnYOne GoOOod!"
"St KIlDA HaVeN't bEAteN AnYONe AbOVe THeM oN THe lAddEr!"

Felt really freakin' good to hear the Carlton mob go silent in the 4th ...

100% they were clearly close to gassed and so we were able to toy with them and see it out.

Looked at Silvagni standing in the goal square with a few minutes to go in the 3rd, and he looked like a man who was wishing for it to be 5 seconds left in the 4th.

There's no doubting we can run out games with the best of them.
 
Can hardly see billings coming back in. The only likely players he can dislodge is Byrnes, Patton & possibly windy.

Not going to drop Cordy because of his size, ruck insurance and flexibility.

Can also hardly see Byrnes getting dropped. He’s working his ass off doing a job that will be making Ross’ population rod very firm.

Strong teams have to make tough calls at the selection table
 
When are they going to give us Anzac Day?

No better example of the Anzac spirit than the Saints today, we weren't only up against Carlton, we were also up against umpire snipers.

The only difference is that I like the Turks, they are great people unlike Carlton and the umpires.

Owens may be the hardest match-up in the competition in a few years time. He can do everything.
It’s easy to forget he’s only played 13 games. What’s he going to be like in a couple of seasons? He’ll be a nightmare to match up when he’s going between mid, forward, ruck, wing. Has there ever been a player who could do that before?
 
Wasn't easy taking a lot in from halfway up the third level surrounded by Carlton supporters so I'll have to watch the replay.

Moving to level 1 behind the saints cheer squad for the last quarter was an absolute blast though. Awesome vibes standing at the back.

5-1 and at least another week at the top sure makes heading to work tomorrow a little easier :D
 
It's time...

You'd have to say that we're now only 2, maybe 3 players off our best 22 now.

King comes in for Cordy when he's fit, easy peasy.

One of Coffield or Webster comes in for one of Paton or Stocker you would think, though as of now Stocker seems to be undroppable and could very easily be in the top 10 of our BNF voting.

And maybe, maybe, one of Billings, Windhager, or Caminiti come in for someone, but god knows who. Byrnes and Phillipou come to mind, but the former is more than doing his job, and the more games we can get in to Phillipou the closer we are to a flag.

If we can get to round 10 ish without any more serious injuries, then we're going to have to make some really tough calls. Bloody great position to be in though.
