Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
Eagles are a good side and after watching the Tiges Port game..we are so far off the mark.
Saddens me to say but my Cue is back in the rack.
As a commentator said the Eagles have been playing together for a long time..they know each others moves. ATM we are chooks with the heads cut off.
My liver thanks you Saints.

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
How is this not getting more attention considering the horrendous one that was paid to Darling in the First Quarter

Disappointing.
Anyone notice anything encouraging for the second half?

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
Take those umpire mistake gift goals off WC and we are a kick off the lead.
Darling gift
Ryan just blatant mistake
Cripps just a umpire wanting to be in the game
15-7 Eagles way as the norm

Imagine trying to argue with a straight face that the Liam Ryan bodywork was a free but the Wilkie blatant jumper pull wasn’t ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
Yep seasons done
Let’s face facts we got gifted a dream draw and 2020 AFL circus games flattered us
We are so far off the pace it’s not funny
Just ordinary ball users - we’ve carried way to many for years even in 09/10 we were lumbered with shyte users from Eddy, C Jones , Mqualter (could only kick 15m).....throw in Ross and Z Jones Geary..... u get the idea under pressure they crumble we always have.

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
This could go two ways, we recapture a bit if the first quarter form and get back in to it, or completely fall away and get done by 80 points...

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
When in a marking contest a player cannot shove a player in the back. He can can use his hands to hold but it can’t be two actions. Ryan shoved Webster in the back then marked the ball.
Cripps free was a free but again not awarded 100’s of times around contests.

We can still win this - we just need a little bit of mo - and a lot of umpire cheating.

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
Effort is pretty good execution f--cking horrible. The one thing we could not afford to do was bomb long to the contest so what did we do , just so fu--ing frustrating . Ok their skills are way better but Coffield & Clark our future guns have been hopeless IMO. Marshall shouldn't have played another couple of weeks would have done us any harm lets hope he's not done for the year. Lets at least fight it out & give them a run for their money in the second half

Ratts said at half time he'd be back so I don't think so.
This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

How Lonie continues to play AFL football is beyond me.CURLY wrote: ↑Sat 10 Apr 2021 6:50pm Umpires have been terrible but that’s expected against WC. They tackle it’s rewarded we tackle it’s play on. Three goals from blatant errors from umpires hoping to see a infringement.
Lonie just please get off. Terrible has cost us at least 4 goals.
Hill great
Webster great
Steele great
Bytal great
Carlisle great
On a positive note, I think Crouch has been pretty good as well.

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
It's obvious we are playing 2 too many small forwards.
Our small forwards don't have the breakaway speed to separate from their direct opponents, and there are no crumbing opportunities due to our crumby forward entries.
So we are being easily outmarked and outbodied when the ball enters our F50.
I'm trying to think of 2 mid-sized to tallish players who can replace two of our small, slow forwards?
Maybe Wood and one other player?

Re: Match Thread: Saints Vs Eagles
He’s been ruining the match thread for years. 95% of his posts are about umpiring. Total one track mind. No idea why he’s not warned and banned for spamming.The Fireman wrote: ↑Sat 10 Apr 2021 7:06pmWhen I'm depressed while watching a game and mistakingly read posts like these ... it makes it worse .. the ump bashing posts are simply a waste of time.. and this bloke is wearing me down
