Ha, only just noticed I feature in the VFLW final promo, providing advice to Davies as she kicks a goal versus Darebin.
GO SAINTS!

GO SAINTS!
Quarter time Port lead 2.2.14 to the Saints 1.2
Port had a medium wind that quarter but was the better team. Both teams went this close to extra goals.
It’s a very different game to ours. Open, little pressure, lots of marks.
Why we care: the Saints winning gives us a double chance, and the ability to proceed directly to the Grand Final if we win next week.
It’s raining now, and the game is more of a physical slog. The umpires are refusing to pay a lot of obvious frees… and as soon as I write that, Port get the first (?) holding-the-ball free AND fifty.
Saints trail 9-15
Step over the mark by Port, and the Saints get a fifty to tie up the score!
15-15
Take out the first ten minutes and the Saints have been marginally better.
De Angelis is causing chaos forward for the Saints.
Saints lead 17-15
SHOOT STRAIGHT, YOU BASTARDS!
Saints lead 23-15 with three minutes to go in the second first half.
Saints intercept and on the siren kick a running fifty metre… poster!
Bugger.
Saints 3.6.24 lead Port 2.3.15 at half-time.
Saints get the first clearance, lay a nice tackle, hit up the leading forward: GOAL!
30-15
These umps have made some shocking decisions. Port slightly on the positive side of them, and an awful call on the wing leads directly to a Port goal.
31-21 to the Saints. Saints get it straight out of the middle, and De Angelis almost kicked a three-effort goal of the year.
32-21
Cmon Sainters!
Three quarter time the Saints lead 4.8.32 over 3.5.23
The Saints will have the wind advantage in the last quarter (it’s perhaps 45º across the ground, towards the CBD).
COME ON SAINTS!!
Down the Port end; I am laying bricks.
Handy point
DAMN HANDY!
36-23 with 12.5 minutes to go.
37-23
FINISH THEM!
That’s the game, surely!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
43-23, just over 8 minutes left
