Agree, I don't get how the umpires haven't cracked down on it. Some teams do it a lot, Geelong have done it numerous times tonight to delay and zone backSaintDippa wrote: ↑Mon 10 Aug 2020 8:16pm Geelong player gets pinged holding the ball. He had possession of the footy. Rolls on top of it stopping Saints from taking it then stands up leaving ball on the ground. Why is that not 50? Great delay tactic. Should be 50. Don't get me started on hands in the back.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
You people should follow the Tigers, they know how to eat their own. The team is clearly buggered and maybe we aren’t as good Yet. as you all seemed to believe.
I half expected we’d struggle to come up tonight and all you can do is pick out players to s##tcan.

No, we’re also missing one or two of Ross/Jones/Dunstan/Hannebery.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
Cats too many skilled players and have a forward structure. If we keep bombing to King forget it.

Bruise free from a backman. Needs to be dropped on that act alone.
Coff ran back to support the fullback and he slowed down...jibbed it

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
Butler should have got 50 when O'Connor put his head into him
Not sure why Membrey isn't pulling the trigger
Bytel looks very assured - great hands
Passengers are aplenty and backline is getting obliterated - 10 out of 13 inside 50s they scored ..... surely that stops in the 2nd half

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
I get that some of our faves are struggling And I hate Geelong the second most but Butler hasn’t been sighted. Where is the keyboard hero who’s going to pot him? It’s bull dust.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
Still in it. Played poorly and are within distance. Look like players are struggling with 4 day break... on a quick turnaround the first half can feel like you’re in mud as the body takes some time, only after a run do the shackles break
We’re winning the middle - need to tighten up down back and clean up going forward. First goal in the 3rd critical

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
We are beating the Cats in both inside 50s and contested ball so right there it tells me they are very beatable
Pies won't beat us again like they did
We definitely belong but yes a few more elite players would assure this

Will this be when we turn around those 3rd quarter blues? Swings and roundabouts and all that

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
I still think Pies cut above Cats tbh at full strength we’ll struggle to stop them
Agree on between the arcs we are right in this contest just entries going in and done kicking efficiency
J Kelly plus be lovely.....we’d be elite I reckon

Re: Match Thread Saints v Cats Round 11 2020
Need to be within 2 goals at tree quarter time to be a chance. I think we need Geelong to stop to get up in this one!
