i have backed the saints, thought the $2.95 1-39 was to good to refuse, which means the cats will win as i have put the mockers on st kilda

[peterg]

Nerves showing early ... a costly free against the Cats

I hope you're right, stampy! I would love for the Sainters to get it.

This is the Cats' third attempt, after simply throwing it away last year

[peterg]

That was a fantastic effort from St Nick ... just hope he bounces back
