Far too good for us after half-time.
You've given us a lot to think about for the rest of the season with a 63 point turn around to win the game.
Good luck for the rest of the season.
Thanks mate:thumbsu: always good to see supporters being gracious in defeat. i cant believe we won is this a dream?

Yep, as much as it pains me to come here, well done - you've had our measure for a while and continue to teach us a lesson on possession footy and commitment.
Your'e a contender.
Cheers.

Isn't it a great feeling to be on the right side of an effort like that? I was so proud of the guys tonight, fantastic effort. Probably won't get s3x for a week after all the yelling and cheering I was doing at the TV but hey, what a great win :thumbsu::thumbsu::thumbsu:

Far too good in the 2nd half. Best i have seen from you for quite a while. Makes the race for the final 8 and top 4 very interesting.

Congrats to the saints - your turn around after all the negative hype has been fantastic. Great to see Reiwoldt back in terrific form. All the best for the rest of the season.
I bow to Nicky Dal.

I'm not sure which emoticon properly sums up my thoughts on the match: :confused: or :D

Thanks to the Hawks fans.
You'll obviously have concerns after the game but you're still in a great position and will have more of an idea about where you're at next week.
I was listening to the game in an internet cafe in Barcelona which was really difficult but I'm just so proud of the guys. We've been strongly challenged in the last 3 games and came through which is satisfying because it was our committment that had been challenged in the past.
CARN THE SAINTERS!!! :D

well done Sainters.
That third quater was the best quater of footy I have seen all year:thumbsu:
Ross Lyon outcoached Clarko tonight, now it is important for you guys to respond for the last 6 rounds.
After tonight you deserve a spot in September, definitely:thumbsu:

indeed. Hopefully this will put some confidence in after the early season doggies match. Just what the doctor ordered. Hopes up again, let's hope we push on with it.
Well done Saints :thumbsu:
You guys just stopped us completely. Glad it was a freeflowing win for you guys.

Awesome game from Clint Jones tonight. What a cool head under pressure.
Dal Santo finally firing. :D
King getting jumped on all night was funny. The Hawks really wanted to ride him.

Told my wife that when Banger lined up for goal with 8 min to go I would cry if he got it, on target but short.
But Blake was AWESOME!
And I reckon so was FIORA!
Good strong marking and contests.
LOOK OUT!! :thumbsu:
Yep, I'm here to say "well done Saints" as well....awesome effort in the 3rd quarter....
Nicky Dal Santo chopped us up....why couldn't you have dropped him for this game:eek:....Well done Nick......:thumbsu:(great player)

Well done Sainters - tremendous effort in the second half tonight that made us look decidedly second rate.
On that performance you are definitely in with a big show. :thumbsu:

20 Jul 2008, 00:08
Thanks man :thumbsu:
All i can say is where the **** did that come from?
My sentiments exactly. My god that was awesome to watch (except for the fact it was against us). Couldn't believe it, you just couldn't miss. At least if you missed we might have had a chance to break up the momentum, but nup, everything went through. Incredible.
Dal Santo lived up to the hype that has surrounded him for a while, as did Riewoldt. Both were awesome and made us look second rate

eard Blake had a good night. What were his stars?
Mateeeeee. turned the game with roo and dal in the 3rd - went into the ruck and kicked 2-3 goals in 3rd term, was really really good. props to jason, he bleeds red white and black
dunno stats exactly - but 160+ SC points says something

20 Jul 2008, 00:12
:thumbsu::thumbsu: To all Hawks fans in here, good luck next week.
Let's just hope the Saints keep it up and get better - we have shown what we can do when we fire, so let's keep firing and NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES, that's the most important part. 1 win doesn't = finals success, or even finals. Must keep it up and get better
GO SAINTS!
Major props to Maxy, Roo, Dal, Blake and well everyone!!

Ditto.
Nice change after the reaction we saw from the opposition last week.
Good luck next week Hawks. Probably a good time for you to lose one (if there's ever a good time). Give those smart-arse Cats a black-eye. :thumbsu:

Missed the 1st half of the game watching the new batman movie (fantastic movie) but then to sit down and watch the saints but on a performance like that was just amazing...from tonights watchings i cant decide if id give an oscar to Heath Ledger or to the saints!
also to the Hawthorn supporters ive gained alot of respect for you guys in the graciousness of your defeat.
RIP HL.

Cheers Hawks supporters.
I actually tipped the Hawks, so if they won I'd condole myself with a tip. And if they lost I'd be happy cos my team won. Can't lose haha.
But yeah, gotta be on of the best games I've ever been to.

Best win we've had since Sydney in the pouring rain in their glory days of '06. I thought in the second half we broke the Hawthorn zone really well with our run which was key to our win. Excellent games by Dal, Roo and Blake was fantastic in the ruck and kicked 3 in the 3rd quarter. Hopefully this will give us the confidence to go on and win the games we should win and give the Pies a real run for their money.
GO THE MIGHTY SAINTERS

A2R - you didn't really tip against us, did you ?
I have never ever done that - could not be happy if we lost and would be furious with myself...

Well done Sainters- totally showed us up after half time. Enjoy the win.
Armitage2Riewoldt
20 Jul 2008, 01:07
Didn't say I'd be happy, just said I'd console myself with the fact I got a point.
You're not gonna win a tipping comp if you tip with your heart... Unless you go for Geelong.
It's not like I wanted the Hawks to win, Im happy to give up a tip for that feeling I felt tonight. There's no way in hell I woulda been sitting there watching the Saints kick 8 goals in the 3rd going "damn now I lost a tip", I was jumpin outta me seat and screaming for us...
But yeah, I tip with my head, not my heart. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and Im more than happy when it doesnt work out.
holy shit, well done hawks fans, very classy of you all. I tend to be a little more jaded after a loss. Props to you guys, and enjoy the finals. cheers.

20 Jul 2008, 01:34
yeah props to the hawks fans:thumbsu:.
apart from one behind me: said hawks would win by at least 140 if game at the G :confused:
reminded me of game in 98 i think wen hawks turned around 60 point margin?
but this time it was st kilda :D
but not quite 60 points :(
great win but, thought we were gaaaaawn at half time.

Not sure if it's a coincidence the two times I've won were in 04 and 05...
We were tanking.
Well done Saints. BIG second half. Too good.

It's scary to think what the 2 Nicks can do, when they find their feat. Unstoppable.

20 Jul 2008, 15:40
Robert Harvey keeps going about his business, doesn't he?
Another lazy 29 possessions and an almost goal to the superstar veteran.
It pains me to say it, but well done Saints. It was a horrible, horrible match to attend, we just had no answers in the 3rd quarter, when everything you did seemed to turn to gold. It's hard to stop any team when they seem to be in the zone like you guys were. The last quarter was just punishment when it was imminent early that we couldn't come back. Your fans were terrific as well, made heaps of noise. Didn't seem to be that many Hawkers in the house.:thumbsd:
Anyway guys, good luck for the rest of the season. I hope we don't cross paths in the finals, we definately seem to be your bitches.:(
Yep. Well done to all the Saints.
Great job.:thumbsu:

as i wrote on saintsational
Well done .
was not a boring game like i think last time ,
the umps made some funny decisions for both sides , the buddy free was just like the nick free so not sure why you guys booed my guy ?
our guys just were flat when they came out in the second half and that stumped me as they were on fire before in the first half .
bet you guys thought you had lost it by half time didn't you http://www.saintsational.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif
now the scary one for the hawks as we take on geelong on friday and if we play like the second half or maybe even the first half i don't want to even think about it .
if we play like we did for the rd 1 maybe a chance but will have to wait and see .
good luck for your guys in the up in coming weeks , we may meet again in the finals http://www.saintsational.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif
will add the media can not complain it was not a boring match

Well done to Hawk supporters for showing a bit of humility in defeat.
just got back to a computer after the game last night, brilliant win and performance after half time. You made us feel like the last 2 years of development was worthless with the way you stopped us after half time, shit way to go in against the cats but we can always hope. well done again:thumbsu:

I would like to say thanks to the sainters on the weekend for two things!
One for the best game of football I've been to in a while. I go to every home game sit in my reserved seat and enjoy watching the boys win lose or draw. But Saturday night. At the first bounce of the 2nd half the saints members side of the dome was deadly slient. 10 minutes later every saints fan was on their feet and it was a great sight to see and it continued for the next hour. We even sang the theme song about 15 minutes into the final quater. IT WAS GREAT!
And the second big thanks is for winning me a few beers against a hawhtorn hopefull here at work! I took the gamble and it paid off. So I dedicate my beers to all the boys and their hard work. Keep it up.

This is the earliest that I have been able to bring myself to log onto BF. Couldn't get my head around Sat night before now!!
Congrats to the SAINTS... I am so truely happy for you - now that I can look at things rationally.
Just watching the pure joy on your fans' faces - and the players.
Totally awesome second half from your players the superb effort and skills shown by the Saints you absolutely pulled our pants down royally.
I hope that this loss above the 2 others this year will help our boys in September!!
Good luck for the rest of the year

Spot on brother.
I reckon that is the loudest the members has been since TS40 kicked that ripper against the Lions in 04.
I'm on Level 1 in Aisle 37 and I was high 5'ing all of my fellow Sainters. I tend to go fairly crazy at the footy. I was loving it!!!!!!!!
I have watched the replay of the second half multiple times and the roar after Blake's 3rd goal and Rooey's 6th were unreal.

At the risk of overdoing it....congrats Saints supporters.
It really was an amazing comeback, and at times I caught myself almost enjoying how good your guys were playing in that 3rd quarter (then I'd remember you were playing the Hawks). Its been a long time since a team so thoroughly dominated us out of the centre like they did in that quarter.
Best of luck, hope you make the finals!
Very unlike Hawhtorn supporters this thread...nice to see.
nah mate you must pay too much attention to bay13, it is an irrational and boring board, some supporters are still keen on chatting properly about footy and giving credit where due.

you will get the odd feral everywhere ;) but they keep that to bay 13 most times

Taken a while to come out of my bunker after the weekend. Be the first to admit I'm not the biggest Saints fan but well done Sainters. Played some great attacking footy to give us a real hiding in the 2nd half. Good luck in the run to September. Should be feeling pretty confident from here on in given the run of results in the last few weeks.
