Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
92 marks to 55 - Good to see us lowering our eyes and hitting targets
Won the tackle count 57 to 49 and contested possessions 127 to 115
Only 14 shots on goals for the Dogs as well - defence held up well

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
You have to remember Collingwood have more than twice our membership.
They bring twice the TV audience compared to St Kilda.
The greater the audience, the more TV rights are worth.
The AFL want to make that audience happy hence they cheat for Collingwood.
The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
Where is the evidence of this? Ratings don't necessarily correlate directly with membership numbers
Unless someone can show me ratings agency data I'd say people will be watching teams that play an exciting brand of footy
When you look at the so called 'big games' like the Pies Vs Tigers game, the Only reason it's a big game is because of the big crowds that these matches would normally attract
Without the crowds they weren't 'big' games at all. There was no atmosphere whatsoever
Imo, the 2nd and 3rd quarters were boring and it looked like an ordinary game of aussie rules VFL grade footy
![Idea :idea:](./images/smilies/icon_idea.gif)
I wonder back in our years of playing finals (2004/5 & 2009/10) how did the ratings of the Saints compare to the ratings of the Skunks

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
I don’t understand the angst against Curly. He’s a passionate fan who’s a bit biased.
When you write 11 posts in the Match Day thread to tell someone to stop spamming the board, I’d suggest Curly isn’t the problem. Use the ignore feature, it would be a win-win.
As for the umpiring, I don’t think we got any of our 14 goals from frees but the Dogs had at least three. One of them was actually there.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
Ryder was an All Australian ruckman 3 years ago and you can tell by yesterdays performance. He's 4cm's shorter than Marshall but has the better leap and an elite tap. Marshall still learning his craft and will learn alot from Ryder.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sun 14 Jun 2020 9:37pm Great all round effort for 3.5 quarters, nice even performance by all, except Billings who I thought was clearly BOG. Even some players who had quieter games by normal standards still did what was required.
Good to see King clunking a few, though i wish they didn’t bomb it long to him 1 on 3 so many times.
Ryder was great in the ruck, though I still think he hurts Marshall’s game, which I don’t like. IMO Marshall should be the number 1 ruck with someone giving him a chop out, not the other way round.
But most importantly, 14.4, wowee! Again showing why accurate goal kicking is the most important thing in footy!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
Paddy Ryder clearly enjoying his time at the Saints.
Just looks happy there.
Ditto all the recruits I would say.
Zac Jones, may well be an A grader based on form so far.

The original "Ambulance Chaser".
A"Bottom Dweller".
Let's hope the Dogs nearly go bankrupt like Slater and Gordon almost did due to their big headedness!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
Perhaps that's a rule you could consider implementing.BackFromUSA wrote: ↑Sun 14 Jun 2020 10:19pm AND most importantly there is not a rule that states that posters must always post opinions that align perfectly with what Joffa Burns thinks.
Would certainly add a lot of value and common sense to the match day thread and the forum in general and end once and for all the RL V GT forum debate.
Thank god I don't sit anywhere near you at the footy if that's the drivel you are forced to listen to on game day, I think the ear pods would be permanently affixed with volume cranked at its highest level.BackFromUSA wrote: ↑Sun 14 Jun 2020 10:19pm it reflects what I hear in a footy crowd around me at every match I attend and therefore is a valid point of view
The validity of the post was not the question, the question was why is this (redacted) allowed to continually spam the match day thread?
Though the question is no rhetorical.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
What exactly is it you suffer if someone who thinks the Umpires are against us posts their view?
That's their opinion and I struggle to understand how, if you disagree, it could be a major point of concern.

What would you think about letting a bunch of Collingwood supporters in to next week's match thread to post their views?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
Well as long as they've bathed why not?
Seriously though is this an allegation? That they're infiltrators or something?
If so I think some other commenters have it right just pay them no mind.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2020
You are correct roskilde.
I had never considered the poster was genuine and have always been of the opinion that (redacted) poster was spamming the forum and taking the piss with the AFL sanctioned umpires cheating against us posts.
If said poster is actually serious (though I still struggle to comprehend this as a it is illogical) and somehow believes the conspiracies he/she posts, my assessment is incorrect and I need to alter my attitude and be more tolerant of this individual.

On match day if you want to talk about St Kilda go to a St Kilda forum, if you want to talk about Collingwood go to a Collingwood forum, if you want to talk about umpires go to an umpires forum.
That’s all many of us are saying.
