The only thing more pathetic than our performance today is people blaming it on the umpires.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
Final score
Saints 11.7.73 lost to Dockers 12.7.79
Bad games from a lot of players particularly our highest paid player - Hill. Very overrated and really disappointing front running type of player who doesn't chase and even squibs it.

Saints hack it forward and turn it over. Freo calmly pin pass the ball down the field for the match winner.

Add Kent to that list too. After such a start, to lose this is unforgivable!

All I know is the accommodation is first rate and they’ve settled in really well. Partners, families are there if they wanted to be. Training facilities are fantastic. Spirit is really good. Re Freo, they’re very aware that the Dockers have been in every game and that their position doesn’t justify their form. Will not be taken lightly.![]()

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
You serious it was a even contest until their interpretations came into play. The not 15 rule seemed only to apply to StKilda. How many times was King infringed for zero Margetts and Foote I doubt we’ve ever won a game with those cheats umpiring

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
Really?
Are you people deranged?
Can't get hands on the ball for 2 and a half quarters and it's all the AFL and umpires' fault!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
Well that was as much fun as the Nth game.
how can half of our players just disappear ? Mind you Freo were hitting targets everywhere they played us at our own game but better.
I also question the fitness of our players.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
Freo deserved the win. They worked harder than we. Really disappointing by the Saints. Beaten not by the umpires, nor travel, nor injuries, but by a team who wanted it more and was a better team on the day.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
AFL and umpires equally to blame. I only think umpires made 4 goals difference.

Yep agreed, there was a lot of one way running after the start.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
Our midfield is still second rate. We have not had an A grade midfielder in years. Jack Steven was the closest we had, and he's gone. I look back to the days when we had Goddard, Hayes, Dal Santo, and Harvey in the same team.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 6 2020
12 touches at 58% efficiency, 1 clearance, 1 tackle.
Direct opponent had 26 touches.
But watch the Seb Ross sympathizers continue to defend him.

Based on what we gave up Hill may be a bigger bust than Hanabery who
was the worst since LOvett!

Can we get a refund on some of the coin we’re paying Hill and DH?
