@neil_saints Hurts but I think you’re right.

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints Loved it! Go Sainters

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints Felt the same about Sam Mitchell as a player - not surprising he coaches it.

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints @s_d_mcintyre That’s my feeling too. Enright’s position description being expanded each year, increasing media output about his importance to the structure. Hope they do have an agreement and he stays on. Good plan in my opinion.

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints @AndrewPrio76581 I love your optimism, but I don’t believe in this fairytale. However, I’ll take out an ad that says ‘Neil was right’ if it comes true.

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

Any word on whether Saints will stay over in Adelaide until their Rd6 game?

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints @Shaebee22 @stkildafc No wet beds at my place. System fell apart under pressure- big deal, round 1, RTB can fix it - but there’s a lot to like - have faith. But Neil I disagree with you on King - I’ll be happy to be proven wrong, but I have a feeling he’s cooked.

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints Well, we’ve been wrong before, but ya gotta have hope. It does feel like a culture shift - or perhaps it’s better media and fan engagement - but combine all that with some
high quality players and communicators to bring the kids along - could be the secret sauce!

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints I imagine NAS won’t mind - he’s got 2 million and the crowd on his side as consolation.

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints @MattaesMarshall My simple rules.1.start each season with optimism (otherwise why be a member) 2.Stick fat with RTB (he wants a premiership on his CV as much as we do) 3.Ignore the horrible oppo supporters (we have shockers too) 4.Stay alive long enough to see my beloved saints win another flag.

@neil_saints @sainterlifer1 And Ross just loves being a finals disrupter. I think there are several examples of his teams pulling off a surprise win at the end of the season

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints @robertcw7 Hope Windy is one of them

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints @dw_richie Happy days!

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints Hard watch. Take the W. Happy that they found their way through it. Good signs from some of the kids.

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints Loved the various bits of vision from the commentators boxes- they were all so excited - did you see Isaac Smith? Pure joy for the game

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints 3rd quarter worse. Killed everywhere. Hard to find a player playing at his best

[Linda M Thompson @lmthomp13]

@neil_saints @tdunny73 30 years reffing high level basketball - don’t make controversial decisions late in the game - if you do, you get marked down, and you don’t progress in the rankings and you don’t get finals. Would love to see their game evals.
