Competitions E-AFL R5: Saints vs GWS, Marvel Stadium, 12/04

[Gosaints12]

From Grand Finalists to Wooden Spooners. That’s the story that GWS face after a month from Hell, the only positive a draw last week in Adelaide. Cameron kicked 6 in a stand alone show. Bottom of the ladder and dispointed. A close loss to Adelaide R3, Getting Bashed by 50 points in Melbourne to Hawthorn in R2 and a loss to Essendon opened the season.

St Kilda entered 2020 with huge pressure. A dispiriting loss to Collingwood in R1 was a bad start. A demolish of the Bulldogs gave the Saints there first win. St Kilda suffered their own beating at the hands of Freo in R3, under the roof of Marvel. R4 in Richmond gave the Saints the second win of a good season.

Sunday offer GWS a chance to get a much needed win and get off the bottom of the ladder. The saints will need to go from 2-2 to 3-2 to be real contenders. And get the first win under the Roof.

GWS WATCH

The coach threatened to sack the entire team if they lost. So what about a draw? This is the question which fans are waiting to hear when the team lists go out. We also do not endorse events such as the two fingers being shown to the team by Sydney fans, which we must assume is talking about the number of points they are ahead by, or one person shouting "You're even worse than the Gumbies", referring to the SFA team.

That said, it would be good to see some of the new boys in today, and see if they can bring their e-NEAFL form to the e-AFL.
