Go Saints.


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Normally feeling tense about now, but I'm fairly resigned to the result I'm afraid.
Interested in how all the new boys go, especially Matteus and Caminiti.
Go Saints

Yeah I’m anticipating a bad loss.

If we get by without being blown away and no new injuries, I’ll be happy enough.

Umpiring hasn’t changed. Has cost us at least 3 shots on goal. Then gifts Freo a goal.

I was worried with Steele's relatively quiet preseason, but only took 1 qtr of the real stuff to prove me wrong.

Good first quarter.

I like the ‘flood’ defence then surge forward when we turn it over, let’s see if they can still do it in the 4th quarter!

Philipou looks class with the few things he’s done.

Still some hang ups from last season which I don’t like, Howard dropping marks, small forwards to busy playing for frees, bombing inside 50, poor conversion in front of goal.

Still, very promising considering the circumstances 👍

Saintsational is done!
6 posts since start of game and 4 of them are related to umpires!
Imagine if we were 6 goals down?
