A typical St Kilda game, tough and congested. But we found a way to get over the line. Sei danket Gott!

3 goals in the last half: not so good.
3 goals against in a half of football: that is nothing short of excellent!

Binns probably keeps his place with 22 possessions and a goal. His 1st and 3rd quarters were excellent, but he didn't do much in the others.

Cooper Lord: 12 possessions and 8 tackles! And the goal of the day.

Adam Cerra: excellent in the 1st half, nothing much in the 2nd.

Found a way, most impressed TBH as I was convinced we were going to blow it. Sounds like Vossy wanted the scrap instead of a shootout (in his interview on Ch7).
Got the 4 points, Ross the Kent can GAGFd and yes we made our bed and happy to lie in it DH.

I need to watch the replay before commenting. I spent much of the time with my eyes covered or shut in disbelief 😖

Shout out though to H and the Lord. Regardless of the pathetic Ross the Toss stifled spectacle, we finally got the better of the Saints. Good enough for now.

Jack is close to AA. Invaluable to us and the club should do the right thing and sign this heart and sole player up he deserves.
Gutsy win against an ultra defensive team which is never easy and again our top liners didnt have blinders which was a good sign.

Still wont hurt the best teams but any win against Lyon i celebrate.

Couldn't agree more.
Icing on top would be TDK signs with the winner. For the right price of course.

Good battling win with the usual suspects playing well. Great ruck dual as was the two skippers tussle.
Inlaws are all Saints crazy so a win was imperative for bragging rights so I'm very happy with the result.
Now let's see if we can follow it up vs the Swans and show it wasn't some dead cat bounce after the Crows debacle.

Well aren't you glad you don't barrack for St Kilda and have to watch that crap every week....... and aren't you glad Ross Lyon doesn't coach us so we don't have to watch that crap every week!!!

Voss was very happy to turn it into a dirty slog after all those injuries. He was happy forit so we had something left in the last qtr. He said if it stayed free scoring we wouldn't have won.

That was a good, tough win where we started with Plan A and thev2nd half Plan B.

Fortunately last week nay have been an aberration coming off that brutal Geelong game.

Hard to know what to make of it. There was a lot of injury carnage for us.

I counted Haynes (not sure what he hit), cowan (left hamstring) McGovern (strrnum), acres (his good shoulder) all off under duress ar various points of the game.

Was a tough battle. Binns was good, his kicking a little wayward at times. Everyone did a lot of guts running but the saints are a team that make it a rolling maul. It plays into our hands a little as we are a contested team. Not sure what to make of us. I think we wanted to block up the rebound and did very well at it at times. When they switched the play they look dangerous.

One of Higgins goals early came after a kick in. I saw what happened, think it was binns having a set shot, the man on the mark ran straight off the ground, and Higgins snuck on at the end of the bench, and the saints were able to kick in opposite side of the ground and work forward hitting him up on the end of the chain, as he had used the interchange to create an outnumber forward.

Thought it was very smart and good coaching, obviously a set play, but it was the only proactive footy I saw from the aints.

I dont know how pleased if be watching Ross Lyons game plan if I was a saints fan. They've got a lot of elite runners, and ball users and somehow turn them into plodders that do nothing but repeat stoppage.

Totally agree! Carolyn Wilson wrote an article this week how we stuffed up getting Lyon as coach but I think we dodged a bullet.

I was the same LN, was very frustrating to watch and I just felt they were hanging in there with the feeling that they would come over the top. I loved how we gutsed it out and Harry stood tall to ice it.
I felt Marshall got the chocolates from his new 2026 team mate. I also got frustrated with Charlie, seems reluctant to get across to contest or chase at times. Might be just because he isn't as mobile as he used to be.
