Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 15 2018

[Trev from the Bush]

For Christ sake Longer, that was pathetic

I don't understand how our "physical" ruckman can get outbodied and fall over so much

If I see the "Billy plays in winning teams" post, I will spew

BILLY PLAYS IN WINNING TEAM!!!

Now stick you head in a bucket

[MC Gusto]

**** yea saints

[Devilhead]

Go the Mighty Saints - tried our best to throw it away but we did enough!!

Fantastic win for the boys - could be a real game changer

[asiu]

i'll take that as .... we won !!

woo hoo

[shrodes]

Josh Battle is awesome.

Some of his hits are mad.

Really like his hardness, bit of figjam and toughness we've been missing

[Devilhead]

Absolutely smashed by the umps in the 2nd half

I'm out buying popcorn in anticipation of Stoneys defence

[stevie]

Well done boys. Bloody love it

[Devilhead]

18 - 11 free kicks to us. What are the umps going to do to even that up in the 2nd half?

Let's go Saints!!!!

17 to 5 Melbourne's way in the 2nd half - there is your answer

[StPeter]

Great win boys!

I backed us before the game at $7 which were ridiculous odds.

But surely Longer can't be selected anymore!!

No where does it say the free kick count has to be even.

I’ll take the 5 goals the umps gave us in the first half tho!

Longer played a Longer game, not sure what else the coaching staff would have expected??

[Devilhead]

Brown going down hurt us as Hogan got off the leash

Huge win for our young fellas and the club

[Impatient Sainter]

Great win Saints!

Absolutely smashed by the umps in the 2nd half

16 to 5 frees after half time!!!!!

What changed at half time to make them realise that they were paying them the wrong way????

Or did we change the way we were playing??

And F.M. neither of those two in the pocket against Ross would be paid 999 times out of 1,000

OR did we just give away more free kicks?

and a goal that wasn't a goal .

[Cairnsman]

Really good movement of the ball, skills looked good, the mechanism into the forward line worked, the forward line worked. Confidence, it's a weird thing.

[Sainter_Dad]

and a goal that wasn't a goal .

need to spell that one out - and a goal that was reviewed and was clearly determined was not touched by foot after the spoil 20 metres out that was paid as a goal, because that was not the specifics of the umpires enquiry!

I thought every goal was reviewed to make sure it was right, not just on the request of the umpire - IT WAS NOT A F@RKING GOAL!

[Sainter_Dad]

Loved the ball movement - loved the speed

Loved us taking on the game

Loved the forward line working together and effectively.

Loved that we held on to win

There is a lot to like in todays game of football.

PS P!ss off Melbourne!

[satchmo]

The three-peat is on!!!

The umpire 3 meters away said he kicked it, the Melb played said he got his boot to it, but no, you are 100% certain from two 2D bad angled replays

We had a great win! Try take your Saints goggles off for 2 seconds and see things objectively!

I’d love to see your breakdown of the 5 goals the umps gave us in the first half, specifically the Lewis holding the ball one

[some muppet]

hogan unsighted till nathan brown off injured - yet some muppets still knock brown???

we won with brown, then carlisle, then armo.................. out injured.

started the game spotting those muppets one player.

finished the game spotting them four players. and still beat those locked into the tanking mindset muppets!

(i think it'd be futile, but time for some lazar-style tough love for billy lingerer?)


and the usual competition-wide post bye slumber only lasted 10 minutes for us. so, another positive.

[saynta]

Armo haters are going to be subdued

Armo has actually made fools out of them. The haters that is .
