Well done on making the AFL Grand Final, and the fantastic efforts your players made during the game.
It looked to me like the players were nervous in the first 10 minutes, and they looked really tired in the last 15. The game against the Dogs took a lot out of them. I also felt the conditions didn't suit your side.
In short, you had everything going against you.
Brendan Goddard was inspirational, playing with a broken nose in the cold wet conditions, and Jason Gram was definitely your best player.
It looks like you're favourites for the flag next year. Sydney have no trouble playing their hard tackling game year in year out, so it should be the same for the Saints, and I hope we see StKilda continue their great form into 2010.
Good luck.
