Official match thread - Saints v Pies!

We were playing the rope-a-dope that quarter even though we were the ones chasing and getting tired. Nevertheless it's time for the counter punch bouncing off the rope.

really proud of our effort tonight. Just can't match the pies for execution. Just don't hope it doesn't blow out to 60pts in the last or the first 3 quarter effort will quickly be forgotten.

Just heard that Milney has not gone goalless against the Pies before, so I hope now is his time!

Notice their players aren't everywhere when pressure is applied and they are made accountable.

It bleeds. It can be killed.

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.

Milne contributing ..? Please he's done nothing in this game except miss a easy goal and give away 5 .. He need to fire in a big one just like Leon !!!

blake cleans up jolly a beauty

Devilhead · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:48pm

Brilliant body work by Peake had eyes on the ball and got shafted

InkerSaint · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:49pm

Tackles 57-48 at 3/4 time. This will be the first time they've been beaten in that area since round 14.

Turnovers just killing us. Now Gram...

Konstantinos · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:51pm

another c*ap kick...

ralphsmith · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:52pm

shocking from gram, just shocking in the context of this game.

Devilhead · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:52pm

Gram misses simple target and Filth have a shot on goal

20 metre passes being missed so often is just not AFL standard

Devilhead · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:54pm

how can that be advantage?????

Old Mate · Post: # 1119547Post **Old Mate** » Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:55pm

Just unlucky there. I hate Swan.

Dan Warna · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:55pm

BS goal to swan, thats the game...

ralphsmith · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:55pm

swan pulls a goal out of his ass, out of nothing, out of nowhere.

Konstantinos · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:55pm

ok, we fought hard tonight..but we're just not up to the task. 5 goals now...

Old Mate · Post: # 1119551Post **Old Mate** » Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:57pm

Percentage important. Need to be careful here.

Konstantinos · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:58pm

I f***in' hate Collingwood.

ralphsmith · Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:58pm

game over

still think we can roll them in a final

, a few things just didn't go right.

C'Mon Saints. Let's fight it out....

Verdun66 · Post: # 1119556Post **Verdun66** » Fri 12 Aug 2011 10:59pm

I hate 'em too. Really hate 'em. In fact, hate isn't strong enough.....

sainterinsydney · Fri 12 Aug 2011 11:00pm

Milne and Kosi did nothing once again. We need to bring a Walsh or Willy J into the forward line, and also fix up the skill errors.

Konstantinos · Fri 12 Aug 2011 11:00pm

Montagna, you beauty.....
