Out of those sides, only Freo would worry me LESS than the Pies.
Hawthorn have lost their last 3 to the Cats and 3 of their last 4 to the Saints. But I guess you've still got 'em covered, eh?
St Kilda win again. GO SAINTS!
The Queensland Thugs are at it again!!!
Nick Riewoldt's treatment unfair in Gabba match againt Brisbane: Ross Lyon

ST KILDA coach Ross Lyon has slammed the Brisbane Lions for unfairly physically targeting Nick Riewoldt in his comeback game.
After watching his side take a hard-fought 14-point victory at the Gabba last night, Lyon was fuming at the treatment of his captain whose frustration at the Lions tactic boiled over after the three-quarter time siren, sparking an all-in brawl involving every player on the ground.
"Clearly he was targeted," the Saints coach said. "There was a bit of garbage we had to put up. I thought some boundaries had been set and I thought they were crossed quite clearly.
"He will continue to be targeted but like all champions he will continue to deliver.
The melee flared after Brisbane's Amon Buchanan slammed into the back of Riewoldt after he'd missed a shot for goal from 50m after the siren.
The Saints star responded by dragging Buchanan to the ground with players then running from everywhere to get involved.
"I think what happened at three-quarter time, the brawl, the emotions were high and he was clearly being targetted but that's OK," Lyon said.
"He's a champion and we can respond, he then went back and kicked the goal (in the last quarter) to gave us a real team lift.
"Probably the message is - don't unsettle champions."

Brings back memories
The same Freo that got beaten by the Tigers last night? haha
The Hawks are the only side in the competition that can consistantly put up a fight against the best side in the comp, Geelong.
The 4 games since the GF they have beaten us for a combined total of 20 points. Whats that, half there average winning margin?
The Saints, yeah going alright Ill admit, and welcome back to the game Reewolt! But when was the last time the Saints beat the Hawks or the Cats in a FINAL?
The Pies are allergic to the GF, the Dogs are 2 - 8 against Geelong and 0 - 4 against the Hawks.
The Hawks finals record against the best this year;
Cats 4 - 2
Saints 3 - 0
Dogs 4 - 0
Pies 2 - 1
13 - 3 against this years top contenders. I told you before, if we make the 8 this year put all your money on them
Freo - as I said, I wouldn't be worried about them. Its the Saints and Cats (and Dogs for that matter) you need to be more concerned with.
I agree that lately the Hawks have put up a good fight against the Cats every time. So that's the same as "having them covered", eh? Sounds to me like you've changed your tune now that you've been faced with the facts. Oh, and you're now 0-4 against the Cats and 1-3 against the Saints in your last four games against each. Hardly a glittering record I wouldn't have thought.
I would also point out that the Saints have also consistently put up a good fight against Geelong over the past two years. In fact, their two wins and one 12 point loss is a lot better than the Hawks' last three efforts - all losses. So, I guess your "facts" are wrong ... AGAIN.
And those finals records, how far back do they go? You're not silly enough to be using 1990s (or older) results as some sort of formline for 2010 games, are you? Surely not. Because you know, that's so relevant. Hey, Richmond won the flag in 1980, they must be morals this year!

What the hell are you talking about? Your club has an archive of thuggery!!
From the bounce 1989 Grand Final
And to think the Hawks got rid of Ablett, the greatest player to ever play the game, after just 6 games
Good move!
Gary Ablett Jnr would of fit in well in the Hawks under the father-son
WTF? Why should Saints supporters cry? The Saints won.
You want to be dirty unskillful thugs, well that's up to you.
You should have a cry about your salary cap reduction next season.
Shame Buchanan wasn't cited for rough conduct? Hitting a bloke 30 seconds after the siren.
The MRP are a joke for not citing him for that!
Or Daniel Merrett for trying to cork Nick Riewoldt's thigh on the same leg he was operated on 3 months earlier. By jumping into his injured leg!
The Lions are finished this season and dirty scumbags at that!
See you next year fellas!!!
