you'd better hope the saints have another gear, they'll need one
You mean like when Roo and Gram (equal BOG in the GF) come back in?
Raph was also excellent in most of the finals last year

smile all you like, you were outplayed for most of last years GF yet hold up the cup! Hollow win anyone?
I'd rather know i was the best then have a peice of silverware to confirm it!
You can go to sleep knowing you have a piece of metal to add to the cabinet and i can go to sleep knowing the Saints > Geelong 9 times out of 10
Totally. Saints will be Premiers no doubts..How good are they..?
Anyone take into consideration that Saints try slow the game down on a dry day, let alone on a ground covered in mud patches.
Lets talk after a game thats not in dismal conditions.
Geelong's squad selection lost them that game
What's the point of us being a better team under good conditions if we meet St Kilda in September when it's absolutely pouring?
Geelong's attitude was a cause of the loss, but St Kilda was much more effective in carrying out their game plan after half time and they earned the win.
All trolling and jokes aside, and discounting the fact Im a Cats supporter, but does anyone (not including Saints or Cats fans) HONESTLY believe that when it counts, in September, when sides are really up and running, injury management has kicked in, Roo, Ottens etc back, that the Saints can beat Geelong? I really don't. I don't think that they have it in them. Just not good enough. Geelong have made a habbit of winning when it counts in the last 18 months. I reckon that loss to Hawthorn was full of so many lessons for them, and I honestly can't see the Saints getting the job done against them. Obviously Saints supporters won't agree here, but for me, the belief is not there until they actually do it when it counts. They were SO lucky to beat the Dogs last September, and then lost the game they had stitched up in the GF. It's all good to flex ur muscles in June, but I just don't reckon they have it when it counts...
Saints were the better side for 4 quarters even in the first half. 6 goals 7 to 3 points must be a real worry for Geelong. Saints were better in the grand final too bad kicking kept Geelong in it and then they took their chance at the end.
I sure hope you feel the need to apply that liberally to every side that doesn't field their absolute best 22 every week. I'm sure Adelaide early on in the season felt like injuries hurt their season and I am sure Port Adelaide feels like the last few games performances have been hurt by having our better players out. Hawthorn had their entire 2009 season curtailed with injury. Poor Geelong.. poor injury afflicted Geelong.lol, clearly trolling but I may as well bite.
You can't expect Geelong to beat any good sides with the following players missing;
- Chapman
- Ottens
- Corey
- Hawkins
- Kelly
- Rooke
Dogs, Hawks, Pies and Freo would have beat us comfortably tonight, as well.
Also, It'd probably be wise to wait until St Kilda beats Geelong when it means something before getting arrogant..
As I have said ALL YEAR, Saints will play the GF, against???????
Yes you're right, the same Young and Ladson who embarrassed Geelong in 08.
Looking at Geelong's draw and their current spate of injuries I would say they finish second behind Collingwood.
That means they will have to play the Saints again in the first final, and you presume that Saints will win again.
Geelong then would have to play Carlton who thrashed them earlier in the season or Hawthorn who they have never beaten in a final.
Not their year and will probably bow out in straight sets.
On tonights effort it appears that the flag like last year is ours to lose rather then anyone elses to win on ability.
To rephrase, Geelong didn't win last years flag, the saints lost it but hopefully not so this year!
Happy knowing the saints are the best team in the league, our third quarter tonight was up to finals standard and Geelong had no answer at all.... sweet!

Spot on. They support a team full of downhill skiers, so I guess it's only natural their supporters are the same.
3 points in a half of footy

you really are a sour bunch of heartbroken losers saints fans, thanks for this thread, its kept me entertained at work all day!
You really would have thought you would have learnt your lesson from last year.......but keep piping up, 85% of football supporters know what will happen if full strength geelong meet full strength saints.
Is there a celebration day down at moorabbin for last weeks win?
