Wood's been excellent but loved Hunter Clark's game. He's starting to show his class again.

Great response from the Saints after being well challenged by the alleged injectors.

having said that, the bummers just got a goal.

How the hell can we look like losing the game one second and then flick a switch? A nd turn the game around

Heart attack material but they didn’t give up

We're home...that is a great response.
Wood has become one of the best players in the AFL.

Fought back from level at 9 mins Q4 and killed them!

What a fantastic, gutsy effort without the captain and other big guns.

Put the big game hoodoo right to bed.

Love beating the injectors!

Touché…
Caminiti had some “very nearly” moments without getting ultimate rewards. Lots of upside.
Phillipou unsighted but I’d imagine is taking a bit of opposition attention. Those at the game can probably enlighten us.

Great win! One of the best ever. Amazing how we turned it around when it looked like they were about to run over the top of us. Lots of great performances: Wilkie, Wood, Higgins, Butler, Hill, Marshall, Battle. Byrnes was pretty good again.

Phillipou did some nice things in second half. Slick handball . Spent some time in the centre bounces .

Agree with you re Clark.

Nasiah looks superb - so skilful by foot, very cool under pressure.

All with just a few games in AFL. The good news is that they seem to be getting better at a rapid rate.

What injuries did we get tonight, How bad is Wood's shoulder injury ?
