Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
All week ppl were picking a big win for the Saints but my gut was telling me this was going to be a scrappy affair where we should be happy to pull away at the end and bank the points.
I don’t reckon there’s too much in the way of constructive notes.
Hope Roma is ok and it would be nice if Coops could sink one more

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Typical Roscoe “win ugly” effort. And yes, Roos were on the rebound from a belting so they were bound to show something … and they did.
Would have been nice to put them to the sword, but we’ll have to settle for four premiership points.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Feel like Roos have bought us down to their level. Phillipou finally got the mark he’s been threatening to take.

North were putrid, and we only just squeaked passed them.

Byrnes played well. One of our best today. Absolutely nothing wrong with his performance

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Norf did not score a goal the first half and they scored less than they did last week. Our defence was fantastic.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
I think that had more to do with them butchering opportunity after opportunity in front of goal rather than our outstanding defending

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Oh FFS
Week after week you decry Curly for ‘ruining’ the Match Day thread
Today, not one comment from Curly but 20 negative posts from you.
You seem to delight in belittling every thing about the Club,
Why is that?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023
Went to the game, terrrible atmosphere. Would love a smaller stadium in Melbourne (ala Ikon park) for fixtures such as these. Can't be to negative given how well the defence held up. Our efficiency going forward and pressure in the first half was unacceptable though and reminds me a lot of last year. Having a quick look at our draw for the rest of the season, it would be criminal if we don't make the 8 from here.
