I can hardly bring myself to watch the game with Schneider playing in the Saints colours and playing well too. It pains me.

What a farce. Despite a very rare grand final win by the Saints, the Saints players looked totally underwhelmed by their victory when the siren sounded. Really, apart from 38 desperate Saints fans at the game, who gives a toss about this competition.

Only 26,823 showed up for the game tonight.

Only 26,823 showed up for the game tonight.

Still a good crowd compared to Port's home games and it was a scorcher.

Schneider playing more in the midfield, looks really motivated, and could be out to prove something against in Round 1.

It will be a tough game. I think having 2 big capable ruckmen in King and Gardiner gives them something extra they've lacked in recent years.

Given it's still 31deg in Adelaide, I'd suggest exhaustion was a major cause of the Saints players looking like that.

Nah, several of them said the same thing. It wasn't about the winning it was about how we played the game.
