Seb Ross is a selection conundrum
Brings intensity, leadership - at his best , he can be one of our better players
His kicking can be a bit hit and miss but I think he has really worked on holding the ball a bit longer and choosing a good short option rather than blasting away
Risk is he breaks down early again leaving us a man short


Life is never more fun than when you're the underdog competing against the giants.

GWS managed to overcome and silence the very loud and parochial Carlton crowd on Sunday.

C'mon Sainters -- get along to the MCG and be so loud and united that they crack.

Bet you, like everyone has no idea
No idea who you’re talking to, but I’ll bite.

Yes I know the words.

How much were you betting?

GWS are appealing Tony Bedford’s 1 match suspension on Monday afternoon at 2pm.

I can’t see how he gets off as it was careless, medium impact and high but you never know with the tribunal lucky dip.

Yeah it makes a difference.

The '150' game v essendon was great, 69k (nice!), mostly saints, amazing.

I think there were a lot of heavily discounted tix though.

It'll be the allure of a final, vs tix price, + we're not favourites.

The biggest crowd to ever attend a St Kilda GWS game is 21.6K. Sound right? (and that was way back in 2017)

Should be plenty of room.

I attended a final at the MCG. My neighbor was a St Kilda member and took my newly ten year-old person to the MCG
to the MCG in 1973 (after having also driving me to see us beat Essendon at the Elimination Final at Waverley the week previously, in his HR Holden Premier)

Will visit the family this year, and by total coincidence this is happening. If my sis gets tix today I’ll be going! Fifty years later to the day! Wow.

I won’t dare predict the result.


You're quite brilliant Shane, yeah..terrific!

Agree with the rest, but that is just wrong - it's a big big sound and it's great :lol:
Yep like the GWS Giants "...there's a Big Big Sound..." :shock:

I expect those odds to tighten over the coming week.
