Ridiculous, ridiculous. Such an odd feeling after the game. Lets hope the Dees never have to go through that (again!), i can barely handle it when its two of my least favourite teams.

Will also be in the middle of the NT next week, no mobile coverage, might have a radio but not sure...might not find out until Monday morning haha

How good was Goddard's mark? Thought they would hold on when he kicked that goal.

thought goddard deserved the norm smith.... but hayes also had a great game i guess

Great game,
was lucky enough to be there. Pies looked home at the half. The Saints willed their way back slowly in the 2nd half. Goddard and Lenny gunned it and the desperation in that last 10 minutes was someting else. Unfortunately I'll be away next week, not sure i'll be able to watch the replay spewin'
Agree PuppetMaster, Goddard was BOG

You guess?

Hayes was monumental in getting St Kilda back into that game (as was Goddard) and it's no slight on Goddard that they selected Hayes over him.

12 tackles in perfect conditions is amazing and his clearance work was phenomenal.

I was supremely impressed with James Gwilt, thought he was an outsider for the Norm Smith.

I did too but whenever one of them did something the other did also so by the end I couldn't choose.

 

[melbournemartin]

I think that Hayes was good over the whole game whereas Goddard was superb in parts and a little quiet in others, especially the first half.

 

[Tulip]

had $10 on the draw

I thought Hayes was best on ground, to be honest. He was just so determined to get St. Kilda back into the game, and that's exactly what he did.

Monumental effort.

On a side note, I enjoyed Harry O'Brien's performance to a great degree. He is the definition of a self-promoter, but yesterday, on the AFL's biggest stage, the only way he drew attention to himself was through a string of errors. Dropped marks, being soundly beaten in one-on-ones by the likes of Milne - you name it, he stuffed it up. Then, to top it all off, Goddard decided to use him as a step ladder late in the game.

Couldn't have been more amusing if it was scripted by a professional writer.

St Kilda needed McEvoy..
But lots of mistakes and nerves played in the game was good game overall and i think the replay is much better then having time on.

 

[Rudeurrection]

I challenge anyone who thinks Goddard was BOG to watch the game again. Hayes was sensational, single handedly kept the Saints in the game when all seemed lost. Unless you watch Hayes closely you miss all the little things he does (tackles, clearances, second up in the ruck). Goddard on occasions butchered the ball and there is no way the Saints could have come close to a replay next week without Hayes efforts.

Fair enough on not winning it but what about the muppet from The Australian who didn't have Goddard in the top three?

Yea, Goodard was defenitley in the top three. But Lenny is a star, would love a player like that at Melbourne who just wills himself to every contest and never stops. I also thought Heath Shaw was Collingwood's best, not Dale Thomas.

Despite how heartstopping this weeks game was, it makes me realise how much I want the Dees to be a part of it all very soon. Can't wait to see the city decked out in red and blue one year, perhaps in the not too distant future. Would be like returning to the 50s and 60s

 

[Kid Presentable]

I just don't want to see us get r*ped by over 70 points like the last few ones.

 

[DonMare]

Great game. Shame it ended though. A few more minutes and Saints would've won.

Leaving for the Gold Coast tomorrow night so I'll be away for the replay. Hope the Saints smash 'em

 

[TelkoTheGreat]

not looking good early for the Saints.

 

[Supermercado]

The Riewoldt **** up in the square was the beginning of the end.

 

[Cudi_420]

We'll make the Granny next year if we pick up a KPP in trade week.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Collingwood 2010 Premiers. And we took it up to them in both games we played against them this year!
I feel very optimistic about next year.

 

[melbournemartin]

It'd be amazing. A whole week dominated by Melbourne in the media. Everyone talking about it. Interviews galore. And then the celebrations if we won...wow...
