Whilst it was a pretty terrible game, it was good to see so many young Saints players step up addressing the groupthink that they have no decent young players. Missing a whole host of senior players, guys like Curren, Dunstan, Templeton, Hickey, Newnes and Saunders were terrific outshining Melbourne's more fancied youth. I don't expect them to be far off the bottom of the ladder, but we saw enough to suggest that they've got a fair bit to look forward to over the next few years.
