What a champion TEAM

[Kildonan]

Despite the absence of Koschitzke, the injury to Riewoldt, and the injury to Fisher, and several minor injuries to several other players, and for Collingwood the umpires too stupid to recognise a DIVING DIDAK, the Saints have got up and won.

TEAM

brilliant win. no rooey, no kosi, no fish for most of the match. collingwood came out hard but we showed them how to play real, hard footy.

gotta love the saints

 

[dan0z]

We do have a fantastic football club, very proud.

 

[MightySaint]

Ross! Roo is amazing, so is Lenny, BJ, Dal, etc, but Ross has created a monster team here.

 

[StFly]

Truly, I am amazed at the improvement in the club since the previous administration, it is almost like night and day. and on the day where things simply did not go to plan, bodies were bruised and broken once again we see that desire, that hunger and that heart to go where lesser men would falter.

That is Saints Footy.

 

[Frappe]

Great win Saints. Beaten a top 4 team despite some big injuries - gutsy stuff. All the best with Riewoldt.

 

[Wagamama]

RESPECT!
You guys are the real deal.

 

[Kildonan]

I may be a little drunk, but I have my chest pumped out with pride in my football club tonight.
This was a really solid challenge by a supposedly top 4 team. They tried to unsettle us early and the used dirty tactics.

The Saints weathered their pathetic attempt at roughing us up.

Then we had a few setbacks. Riewoldt, and Fisher were the worst, but there were others... Montagna, Dal Santo, Gram, and Lenny Hayes.

We showed heart.

I love the Saints.

 

[Kildonan]

I'm still angry at the Didak dive.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Congrats - I was so proud of your boys

 

[footycool]

You guys are champions. Good luck for the rest of the season

Hope Roo has a speedy recovery

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Yep, don't feel so bad about what you did to us last week now.

You have to be flag favourites now. The hunger is certainly there, and the talent.

Good luck.

I gotta love the hypocrisy of some of the Collingwood supporters who slammed Dogs supporters for calling Didak a waste of space, now they're at it themselves(Collingwood supporters bagging him).. A very good win to St.Kilda tonight given the circumstances..

 

[James23]

Well done saints.. unfortunate for Riewoldt. but atleast it's early in the season and hopefully will be back for the finals

 

[Tiger67]

I'm still angry at the Didak dive.

Oscar nominations 2011.... Best actor ..... Alan Didak!!!!!!!!!!!!
A disgrace..... Can't they report him for that sort of crap these days.
Sad thing is that the love affair the umpires have for Collingwood does not seem to be abating at all... They would not have beaten Melbourne without them and they tried hard again to get them over the line tonight.

Was a great win and as a Tigers supporter I get most of my pleasure out of the season these days when Collingwood loses.

 

[Mr Magic]

Malthouse was a bigger disgrace having a crack at the Saints players. As a Tigerman I am glad you shamed them tonight and really showed them up!!

It has been a long time coming!!!

Respect!

 

[CM86]

I only caught the final minutes of the 3rd quarter and the final quarter. And What a team!!!!! Battling out of the trenches with men down! My brother recorded the game, so I will watch it all later

But what happened to Fisher? Leon Davis hit him? was it a fair hit? or was he reported?

And what's this about Roo kicking a goal.. and the goal umpire calling it... then the field umpire running in and saying it hit the post??

 

[Kildonan]

A collision with Davis - no malice in it - just unfortunate

 

[lethal03]

Gutsy victory, nice job!

 

[KnaveyBlue]

If this wasn't the Saints board I'd start a thread on this bloke:

Clint Jones.

What a champion.

 

[windyhill]

Absolutely ****ing well loved that Saints, God they are scum.

 

[goodie23]

A collision with Davis - no malice in it - just unfortunate

Agree on the collision, not so sure about the way Davis rolled over Big Fish's head after.

 

[crownie]

great win guys.

enjoy it

 

[Signd Sealed Saint]

Lenny Hayes what an absolute star! Montagna was terrific too in the last quarter.

Just a fantastic win and good signs to come for a few Riewoldt-less months. Just shows what a great unit we are.

 

[Leapingleobarry]

Well done saints, gutsy win. I was telling my friend just how tough the swans game was, we couldn't get 1 easy kick. Medhurst, Davis & Didak etc. falter under pressure of the quality teams. Lenny Hayes is an absolute champion.
