Today, the only serious impediment to GWS running the ball out was Butler, with King second best. Higgins, Gresham, Caminiti and Shrman might just as well not have been there.

Bizarre take.

Astonishing that people think it wasn't intentional. That scenario happens so many times in a match, almost always the defender jumps into the attacker with their hands or they jump past them completely, as Pickett did in the final quarter. Maynard attempted to smother knowing he was going to follow...

The AFL claiming GWS have 33,000 members is hilarious.

They're suggesting for every two St Kilda members, there's a GWS member.

Or for every 5 Collingwood members, there's 1.5 GWS members.

We also only had 8 players play every game.

Sinclair, Wilkie, Crouch, Wanganeen, Phillipou, Marshall, Butler & Wood.

Only Wilkie (108), Sinclair (48), Marshall (38) and Butler (34) have played more the 30 consecutive games.

Interestingly, the game vs GWS will be St Kilda's 28th final in the AFL era - taking us past the 27 we played in the VFL era. It also puts us equal with West Coast and the Western Bulldogs on 55 all time finals - and one behind Fitzroy (yep, Fitzroy have still played more finals than us, despite pla...

Any other cool stats anyone knows about our 2023 campaign? We only lost one game by 40+ points, our best effort since 2009. We won four games where we trailed at 3/4 time. Our most ever. Equal with 1975 & 1934. We won 47 quarters, our most since 2012. We averaged 71.6 points against per game, o...

Both Elimination Finals going on sale to members at the same time is standard Ticketek s..thousery.

If Membrey, Hayes & King all play, don't underestimate how much easier that makes the roles of Dan Butler and Jack Higgins.

When those five play in the same side, Butler and Higgins average 6.0 scoring shots per game. Their career average at the Saints is 2.1.

Surely Marshall gets the ruck spot. The only other rucks in the squad are Luke Jackson and Tim English, who are both incredibly lucky to be named at all.

Definitely one of our most important players, but he'd be disappointed with his performance against Brisbane.

Hopefully he's ready to tear up the MCG wings once again next Saturday.

St Kilda have never won an Elimination Final at the MCG.

GWS have never played an Elimination Final at the MCG.

St Kilda are 8-5 at the Gabba over the last 15 years.

We are 3-3 interstate this season.

Ross Lyon has now made five consecutive finals series as St Kilda coach.

But St Kilda have never played in five consecutive finals series.

We were very poor in my opinion. We conceded 13 goals, our worst effort of 2023, in conditions where scoring should have been difficult. Richmond also had 10 more scoring shots - our equal worst differential since Round 15 last year. Our excellent accuracy (73.3% - best since 2021) further masked a ...

If we lose to West Coast, we are not making finals.

Ross Lyon coached St Kilda teams are undefeated in seven matches vs Richmond.

The bookies have a 50% strike rate with St Kilda this season.

R1 Freo favourite - St Kilda won
R2 Dogs favourite - St Kilda won
R6 Blues favourite - St Kilda won
R7 St Kilda favourite - Port won
R11 St Kilda favourite - Hawks won
R13 Sydney favourite - St Kilda won

King will be close by the end of the season.

Averages half a goal more than any other player in the comp to have played 3+ matches this season.

His score involvement numbers are very close to elite as well.

I can't watch St Kilda games with commentary on. It's music for me.

A bunch of records gets me through in a far more serene manner. I recommend it.

The umpiring was poor all game, way over the top. We probably got the better of it overall, but were on the end of some glaring mistakes. Campbell throwing the ball to himself and being paid holding the man while it was in flight in the first quarter was something. The dangerous tackles against Ross...

His evasion and bullet pass on the boundary in the second quarter gave me Gilbert McAdam flashbacks.
