Official match thread - Saints v Pies!

I'm really happy with our first half effort. If we keep trying like that and end up losing, I'll have no regrets.

CJ's best half of footy ever. Riewoldt is supreme. Chips, Raph, Gram and Big Mac have all caught my eye.

I can't help thinking no matter how well we play we will enough skill errors in us to kill us.

we are NOT THAT BAD.

playing with a lot of heart, can't say a single saint isn't giving their all, but some of the disposal is woeful
The majority of Collingfilth's goals have come from appalling turnovers when we have been in control of the ball

pies & hawks are the best at disposal to advantage under pressure
all top teams apply pressure, its what you do with the ball in the hot seat that makes the difference

Dan Warna · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:00pm

concur, we are playing with a lot of heart, but our skill level is poor from some.

Heartwise peake is playing with a tremendous amount of heart and going in for hardballs, but his disposal has been average.

Polo, dawson and gilbert have been uniformly average in their disposal. This in now means their courage isn't right up there, gilbert and peake especially have been hard as nails.

Goddard can't get into it like he wants to, kosi looks lost, but competitng well n the ruck, and milne, shnaz contributing but making mistakes, gkicked a beaty of a goal.. Roo is running everywhere, but isn't damaging.

Gram, Steven, fisher, big ben, monty and dal carrying us at the moment.

Gram is in smoking form IMO.

Superb first half effort considering the Maggots are giving us nothing!

Badlands · Post: # 1119457Post **Badlands** » Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:02pm

also.
Only HT i know.
but Clint Jones has been epic.
Had to say it now so it doesn't get lost if this one blows out a bit.

wrong, the maggots have given us most of the 50/50s, 2 50/50's have gone against us, maybe 4 have gone our way.

We are being killed by our turn overs, 4 goals directly to our mistakes.

Armo has had one disposal and three tackles. Hopefully he can lift his game abit.

Gilberts disposal still disgraceful and who is picking up Swan...? Why tag hard at ball ups and then let him get the little cheapies in the backline..? Go with him everywhere....

that may be numbers but he's doing well in neutralising brown and jolly when he's resting mcevoy, big mac has been epic. The pies aren't getting clear ball out of the centre as much.

Seems to be going head to head with Steven in the middle. I don't think he's being tagged. Pendles and Krak the only two Pies that look like they're being tagged. Need to put the hard tag on Davis IMO.

InkerSaint · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:08pm

A good sign - the Saints have out-tackled the Pies 43-34.

Dal pushed as he kicked it for the Beams goal then how Johnson wasn't called for holding the ball i will never know.

That's what I saw..... Collingwood have at least 2 extra goals due to Maggot ineptitude...IMHO

agree with Big Ben he is competing very well against one of the games benchmarks

Tarrant reported for hip and shoulder on Kosi

That. Is. So. Disappointing.

Absolutely dreadful from Zac

How long has dawson played the game....worse player in the side with the ball.

Konstantinos · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:17pm

damn good distance, but bloody hard angle, but stil......

Davis showing the ball harlem globetrotter style is disgusting.
