Saints v/s Swans Game Day thread

[jonesy]

Gee,got a read on this wrong. Somehow we've jumped away. Pressure has lifted immensly, and the forward line structure at the moment is light years way from the Freo game...

Need to keep going though,Swans will find something

[Verdun66]

Should be making more of our domination. Rooey going well, but shouldn't miss those.

[desertsaint]

Looked high, no prior - but we'll take the free - 15 out - saad with the free - goal!

[PakenhamSaint]

Saad Goal!
STK: 8.5 (53)
SYD: 5.4 (34)

[desertsaint]

Gee Rhys shaw would never get a job as a channel 9 helicopter traffic reporter!

[Verdun66]

An umpiring decision that goes our way! Saad!!!!!

[desertsaint]

Just nice hard at the man play - controlling the footy completely. Swans can't get it out of their half.would like a few more goals as a reward. Kosi had it and went without it - wasting inside 50s.

[PakenhamSaint]

Nasty head clash with Geary.

[desertsaint]

Really need to convert. I've lost count of the inside 50s without a score.

[PakenhamSaint]

Concussion test for Geary.

[desertsaint]

Clear push out on roo - needs to convert - oops replay shows no free. Anyway...roo misses.

[desertsaint]

Great second quarter - but missed the opportunity to almost close the gate.
Could come back to bite us.

[andrewg]

Gotta can roo again for his kicking. Sorry but there were defenders of Roos kicking a couple of weeks ago but again he let's us down a bit. saints going well though!

Ps Tommy Walsh is rubbish

[older saint]

Really concerned not making most of domination that quarter will come back to hurt us. Hope i am wrong

[sainterinsydney]

Someone needs to tell Rooey to at least think a little bit about his kicking for goal. I know he is trying not to think too much about a shot, but don't just blaze away, for gods sake!

[sainterinsydney]

Really concerned not making most of domination that quarter will come back to hurt us. Hope i am wrong

Can't agree more--TW is crap.

[jonesy]

First half summed up our season perfectly. Looked like a very ordinary football side in the first quarter who were probably fortunate to be that close.
Then the second quarter came out and looked like a very good side. As we got completly on top and the swans pushed back we failed to take a couple of chances. Probably should be 5-6 goals up which is amazing after the first quarter. Got a couple of charities in front of goal also...the Roo one was a disgrace,but he needed to nail it,other sides take advantage of there gifts against us

At quarter time I was looking through the side and the lack of input from certain players. Armitage was one. Then to his credit he came out in the second quarter and played possibly his best quarter for the club......again symbolic of our year

Far from confident,as who knows what Stkilda side will come out after half time. the very good one,or the mediocre one? Game on!

[Jacks Back]

28 to 15 inside 50's. Dominating but not converting. Lets hope we can convert at a better rate next half.

[8856brother]

Umpires look like they are trying to square up for the first 8 weeks.

[jonesy]

After quarter time it's a 180 turn around feeling,but ever the pessimist as a saint ,is the thought lingering in the back of the mind of the trip to Perth just last sunday night....

[kosifantutti]

I can't believe that Jack Steven soccered the ball through when Goddard had the free 10m out again!

That ball could have gone anywhere.

Great quarter. Brownlow votes for Blake.

[kosifantutti]

Geary subbed off.

[desertsaint]

Gwilt silly - one gaol back!

[desertsaint]

'none better than Stephen Milne' - typical swooping pick up and dodge and goal!

[desertsaint]

Milne - looks like we're keeping up our last quarter effort.
Miley lines up - to the right - point.
