Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 18 2024

[Brunswicksainter]

Great quarter by the boys. Few of the usual whipping boys standing up, defence looked shaky at times, our mids on top. bonner still disgusting and must get delisted at year end.

[meher baba]

Umpires hardly made a mistake (that I could see) that quarter

I thought Marshall was illegally taken out before the Crows' second goal.

We got a couple of lucky frees as well, so it all evens out, as it usually does.

Bonner wasn't all bad.

But let's be positive: Phillipou, Sharman, Jones and Howard all good.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Good 1st quarter, great pressure and playing to the conditions.

[B.M]

Very good quarter, pressure elite and smacked them in contested ball

But only a goal up, as we coughed up a couple of easy goals

Phillipou looks a totally different player, from the HF that lacked confidence and struggled to get a kick 2 months ago - now he is running around like an elite mid

Owens is where Phillipou was 2 months ago - no confidence and running in cement shoes

[Bruce G McAbee]

Bad start to the 2nd.

[bobmurray]

Owens is struggling, might need a few weeks at Sandy.

Allison to take his spot.

[B.M]

That was a sitter Owens dropped

[Bruce G McAbee]

Byrne's hits a pass and Wood scores.

[Mr Magic]

Mayyyson Woooood

[skeptic]

Don’t seem to be getting as much ball through our main mids so far on the second.
Sinclair
Pou
Jones

All very quiet after fast starts. Ari slowed down too.

Byrnes has come to life a bit though and Steele getting some ball suddenly

[B.M]

Riley Bonner has coughed up two of their goals

He’s s***

[SaintPav]

Goal assist to Boner

[B.M]

Just coughing up goals from sloppy play now

Battle ordinary attempt to mark, poor handball and Wilkie just kicked it out on the full on his right

Poor footy by Battle

[bobmurray]

Pou Poster.

[perfectionist]

Looks like last week was our once in ten years kicking straight game.

[SaintPav]

Ricciouto, Crows have been s*** on your watch so why don’t you give yourself the arse

[Bruce G McAbee]

Well, not good.

[skeptic]

Really need more ball from Sinclair… he just has a knack for making things happen. Feels like we could use a Higgins miracle too

[SaintPav]

Boner’s man.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Missing handballs

[bobmurray]

a Wilson handball into the Crows goal square gifts them a goal.

[skeptic]

Geeez look at those forwards numbers
Owens 1
Membrey 1
Higgins 3
Butler 3

Says a bit about keeping how involved they’ve gotten into the play

[SaintPav]

We are not working hard enough.

Dropped off in the last 10 minutes

Why are the commentators barracking

FFS

Pathetic umpiring

Incompetent arsewipes

f*** you Jack R

[silverhalo]

I'd be subbing out Tim Membrey at half time for Ben Paton - had one disposal and just not looking like it especially in these conditions
