Match Reports

[Animal Enclosure]

After a long summer the journey over the Latrobe Street bridge was an enjoyable one, especially with a balmy breeze blowing off Victoria Harbour. After enquiring as to the damage of a footy record, I was glad I'd printed off the team sheet from the members email when the young lady replied $7!

We were soon basking in the early evening atmosphere on level 1 as Tigers supporters around us predicted a big yellow & black win. The sight of a big unit in a number 15 jumper warming up out on the ground was one to behold. Fingers, toes and testicles were crossed for the injury gods to pick on someone else for a change.

The siren sounded & celebrations erupted as we entered the final 100 minutes of Darren Goldspink's umpiring career. The first quarter showed that the young Saints were committed and enthusiastic, Charlie Gardiner taking a few nice grabs, the new ruck combo working well & some youngsters showing up their more experienced opponents.

The tigers mounted somewhat of a half hearted comeback, helped out by Umpire no. 34's effeminate decisions and a fortunate rebound of the goal post following a Richo clanger.

The 2nd quarter was another good for the Sainters as supporters became familiar with names like Geary, Eddy, Allen, Miles, Howard and Steven. Raf looked strong and assured & supported Chips and Max with aplomb. X was in everything, with Jo-Jo and Dal swooping in with class possession when required. Even the much maligned Clinton 'Hey Bodie' Jones looked solid with pace and quality disposals.

The 3rd quarter was a bit lost when a pack of try hard 'Corey's sitting near the cheer squad decided a young family was fair game. The bunch of tools withered like the little pansies they are when security told them to pull their heads in. Eventually they were escorted out... I was very disappointed when they had disappeared despite their scary scary threats to get me outside. I was looking forward to breaking those ridiculous white sunnies that these wankers require at night!

Anyway the last qtr was a procession for the Sainters with the margin blowin out & Richmond supporters preparing for another long season.

A very encouraging performance considering the opposition were at close to full strength & the 10 or so best 22 players missing from the good guys.

Best- X.Clarke, Geary, S.Fisher, R.Clarke, Kosi (despite woeful kicking), C.Gardiner, King, Montagna, C.Jones.

Bring on the Cats/Dees in Canberra next week!

[Oh When the Saints]

Honourable mention to the absolute hanger taken by Kelvin (no relation) Moore of the Tiges in the 3rd quarter

Been reading long?

I read it and was shocked.

So I repeated it.

And I am still shocked.
