For North, Gibson and Harvey have really hurt us.

perfectionist · Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:45pm

Yes.Game over.

The ever familiar pattern:

1. We miss easy shots, they don't.
2. Obvious frees are missed to us, they get every one including the finger nail ones; Steven Quarterbrain says joyfully when it's against the Saints : it was there!
3. Eddy, Gwilt and a number of others have football decision making skills that are useful in whist.

Teams usually come back in the second quarter: Tip, it won't happen.

Cya guys, I'm hopping in the shower and getting ready. This is DISGRACEFUL.

markinUSA · Post: # 595385Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:48pm

Turnover at our half forward, mark to Campbell 30 out, in front of Dempster. Goal.

5.4.34 to 0.3.3

Moorabbin Saints · Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:49pm

Goal to the Roos.

Now 31 points. I was hopeful of watching a good game tonight.

An absolute shambles...

I cannot watch such crap. Kudos to those that can!

Thankfully Ive turned the TV off its that bad. I just feel for everyone who made the trip up there.

Why cant we play interstate? So far under RL we are 1-7 outside Victoria in 07/08, and at this rate it looks like it will be 1-8. Is it no confidence what so ever or do we need to play under a roof every week to play football?

markinUSA · Post: # 595389Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:49pm

Four of their players in particular are killing us so far: Gibson, B. Harvey, Wells, Petrie.

markinUSA · Post: # 595390Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:50pm

B. Harvey kicking for goal... misses.. point to them.

5.4.34 to 0.3.3

midas_touch · Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:51pm

Voss talking about our lack of emotion....exactly right.

your jsut using eddy and gwilt as scrap goats.
its eddys second game.
and gwilt has at least tried something new.
with a few runs up the guts.
not his fault there was no one to kick it to.

Yeah listen to the commentary, and watching, st kilda are dead.

well done, this is what i was talking about on the mcqualter thread

Ross Lyon has killed all the joy out of football for a lot of these kids.

I hope WE DONT GET DRAFT PICKs, it would be inhumane to inflict the ross Lyon method on another young kid

Moorabbin Saints · Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:52pm

Well thats my night, the Doggies v Port game seems a better option.

Grimfang · Post: # 595396Post **Grimfang** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:52pm

I don't think we're going to kick a goal in this quarter either. This is utterly deplorable.

We dont play well interstate because the Saints are up themselves...they think they are good..and they simply arent. They are selfish and never ever do anything like Rob Harvey does...that is play unselfish consistent football...NO HEART SAINTS AND ITS KILLING ME!

markinUSA · Post: # 595399Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:52pm

Gram's just got his first possession in 5 mintes for this quarter. S.Fisher also has only had it once this quarter. If they are our link men, we're not using them much.

markinUSA · Post: # 595401Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:53pm

S. Fisher pointing to his hamstring on the boundary.

markinUSA · Post: # 595402Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:53pm

8 and 1/2 minutes into 2nd quarter.
Rushed behind to them.
North 5-6- 36 to us 3 points still.

markinUSA · Post: # 595404Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:55pm

9.30 in 2nd quarter

Milne GOALSSSS!

Sainternist · Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:55pm

Holy cow... we scored a goal!

markinUSA · Post: # 595408Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:55pm

They are saying S. Fisher "looks in a fair bit of trouble" - left hamstring.

markinUSA · Post: # 595409Post **markinUSA** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:58pm

8 to 3 inside 50s for them this quarter.

Riewoldt has marked 2 metres inside 50. Going back for his shot.

Grimfang · Post: # 595410Post **Grimfang** » Sat 28 Jun 2008 8:59pm

Gwilt gets pinged for a nothing hands-in-the-back in the first.

Corey Jones absolutely bulldozes Gilbert and nothing is paid.
