Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
They just seemed to find some passion in the lead up to the first Gresham goal. And they’ve been a different team since then.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
Problem is, I just can't get excited because I can see the brave comeback followed by the last 20 minute complete fade out.
If course I want to win, but I just want to see them fight the game out.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
If nothing else good happens players will get some belief out of that quarter. Still not happy with the game plan as there really inst one but we are getting some luck our way. i.e. 50, free helped.

Freo went off the boil last quarter, interesting to see how they respond. Damn long kick in again, why go back to that crap

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
Just read this page (website was down) and had a gut busting laugh at the comments by Crusty, Bozo and every other clown. The boys showed great faith in each other in the third quarter, it is now a two goal match and we have all the running. Rossie will be soooo pissed with his charges; they absolutely dominated the first half. They should have led by 12 goals but stuffed around and only led by 6. It's now 2; the way the game is being played they have blown it.
Once Gresham and Billings started getting their hands on the ball, using the manic run their kicking improved and the floodgates opened. You can see the whole team lift, even though we continue to to get flogged in the centre clearances.
You know were are in deep strife when we have only kicked one goal at half time. And, worse, it was courtesy of Sammy Gilbert (BUT FROM A SET SHOT!). But give the boys some credit, they are having a red-hot crack.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
Disgraceful from a forward in membrey to miss that goal
“Yeah….nah””
Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
Should be a 7 point game. Instead it's out to 19. Have to take those gift chances in front of goal Saints!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
We finally started winning some contests, we look competitive, and then the kicking problem again!!

Really, if this club is serious, Dixon should not have a job tomorrow.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
This game is there for the taking. Both Freo and the umps are doing their best to give us the game, and as usual our terrible skills are killing us...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 8 2018
If the club is serious in being competitive, Jack Newnes should not be in this team next week. Pathetic efforts all year.
