Saints beat the SCG flood

Ugly game in the rain and mud last night. Good to see the Saints hold on and win the game. They lead all night, and deserved the win.

I went to the game with Fletch. We sat in the Nohle stand surrounded by Sydney Swans supporters. I think I was the only Saints fan in the entire stand. It was terrific when the siren went off. Complete silence around me!

It's good to see a win.

Next week, I'm going to Melbourne to see the Saints meet the Crows at Telstra Dome

WE know about the ugly defensive flood, but the natural version almost blighted the game at the SCG last night. The heavens opened up and ironically shed light on the Saints' season in what was a wet weather thriller.
