There are many ways to describe St Kildas chances of playing AFL finals this year.Mathematical, slim and unlikely. Even dubious.But whichever way you cut it, the Saints (10-9) are still a live chance of hauling in North Melbourne (12-7) with three matches remaining and defender Sam Gilbert says thats the main thing.Its out of our control but its good to be spoken about. Hopefully we can continue and give ourselves every opportunity, Gilbert said.North Melbournes difficult draw - they play top four sides Hawthorn, Sydney and Greater Western Sydney in their final three rounds - is giving St Kilda cause for hope.Even if they fall short, its a remarkable turnaround since May when North Melbourne were 9-0 and St Kilda had just earned their third win over easybeats Essendon.Gilbert was clear.The side is hell-bent on reaching the top eight this season if they can, but he could see the merit in a season where they finish just short.As a young group its great for the boys coming through, he said.Tim (Membrey) and Josh (Bruce) played really pivotal roles ... Gresh (Jake Gresham) and (Blake) Acres played really well yesterday.Obviously finals is what you play footy for.But we feel like as a club weve developed. Well give ourselves opportunities to make finals next year.The Saints feel like they could do damage if they got to the finals.The 71-point win over Carlton was their third-straight victory at the MCG, on just the third time theyve played there since round three last year.Gilbert said a benefit of jumping up the ladder would be an improved draw in 2017.The Saints didnt feature on Friday nights this season and turned out 10 times on Sundays, and the 29-year-old said he wanted the club to return to the biggest stages next year.To get a Friday night or a Saturday night is the pinnacle of the game so we really look forward to getting those games as a club, he said.Hopefully next years draw we can get a few more Saturdays and Friday nights and we get to thrive on the MCG a few more times.

The Warriors have reacted to fierce speculation surrounding Tuimoala Loloheas future, with the NRL clubs boss Jim Doyle declaring the talented utility isnt going anywhere.Despite impressing as one of the Warriors form players over the first half of the NRL season, Lolohea appears to have fallen out of favour with coach Andrew McFadden in recent weeks.Curiously he was only brought on from the bench in the 81st minute of the Warriors golden point loss to Manly in Perth last weekend.The 21-year-old has subsequently been linked to an exit from Auckland amid reports up to five clubs were chasing his signature.However Doyle insisted on Tuesday the Kiwis international would see out his contract wwith the club through to the end of 2018.dddddddddddd.Tui isnt going anywhere, Doyle said.Hes a big part of our plans and he knows that.Cappy (McFadden) sees Tuis future in the halves alongside Shaun (Johnson). Thats one of the reasons why we agreed to let Thomas (Leuluai) go a year early.Im sure there are plenty of other clubs interested in Tui and our other players as well but Tui will definitely be staying here at the Warriors.Leuluai, who played in the Warriors halves with Johnson last week, will join Super League outfit Wigan at the end of this NRL season.
