Match day thread v. Ess

[TriColourDisciple]

Back to two points. Saints look very shaky.
Kosi dropped a sitter in the backline

[Buckets]

anyone else's ears bleeding with this commentary? disgraceful.

SEN are creaming their pants whenever the bombers get the ball!

[markinUSA]

Contests... Howard to Winderlich, then bounce.
Gwilt good mark.
To Monty. To Dal on wing.
Dal to Fisher but spoiled by Dempsey.
Thrown in. Dal sharked it. Inside 50 - Fletcher outmuscled Gardiner.
They have it on wing. Armo, Gumbleton, Gwilt contesting it... thrown in.
Davey has been influential this quarter. 5 possessions
Goddard to Gardiner. Outside 50 to top of square. Fisted through for point.
We are 3 points up.

[OneEyedSainter77]

meh, the commentating isn't too bad on ABC.

We have been pretty average so far today.

Meanwhile, Zaharakis puts the Bomebrs back in front.

This is pathetic.

[markinUSA]

Watson to Hocking, to Davey, to Zahharukus (spelling?) and goal to them.
6.4 to 5.7

[Darren]

GREAT MARK BY KOSI!

[markinUSA]

Great mark to Kosi!!!!!!

[saintDal]

I need to see this mark.

[OneEyedSainter77]

Kosi with apparently the "Best mark of his career"

Must kick the goal though...

[Darren]

...but he misses.

[markinUSA]

Point to Kosi.

[sunsaint]

another backline goal to ess
stk 37 ess 40
now kosi lining up 40 out directly in front and misses
stk 38 ess 40

[Buckets]

KOSI!!!!!!! WHAT A MARK! But misses!

[TriColourDisciple]

Kosi takes a screamer....then..yep.. misses it!

[TriColourDisciple]

Bummers up by 2 points at half time

[markinUSA]

Half time.

Score: 5.8.38 to us
6.4.40 to them.

[Calais]

sorry to be pedantic and irritating but anybody who's watching the game on fox sports find the commentary absolutely pathetic and one sided?

[OneEyedSainter77]

Pretty disappointing first half from us.


5.8.38

Disposal is poor.

In poor form at the moment.

I keep waiting for us to turn this around - when will it happen?

[Buckets]

sorry to be pedantic and irritating but anybody who's watching the game on fox sports find the commentary absolutely pathetic and one sided?

Well dont bother about listening to SEN either lol. Not the most unbiased commentary around. Bit like watching Mark Webber win a F1 race only for the commentators to cream their pants about Hamilton or Button lol.

[markinUSA]

Would have loved to have seen it!

[TriColourDisciple]

Totally agree Calias. It is pathetic and unprofessional IMO

[battye]

sorry to be pedantic and irritating but anybody who's watching the game on fox sports find the commentary absolutely pathetic and one sided?

It's easy to understand why they are so Essendon-focused. This isn't "Saints footy".

How many goals have we scored that weren't from a free kick?

[saintluke]

Commentators always waiting for us to fall over. However this week hasn't been as bad as previous encounters when we've been held to close games.

Plus I'm sick of teams rolling the dice and getting away with it, bloody fluke goals like Jetta's.

Saints definitely playing a more attacking game this week, yet it doesn't mean that we have to throw decision making out the window. Some of our entries have been very poor. No point passing it around the half forward line, allowing the bombers to flood back and then eventually bomb it in. We need to go direct and take take on a little bit more individual goal kicking responsibility.

[TriColourDisciple]

It's as though the general public hate Collingfilth and the media hate St kilda

[Hurricane]

Kicking and skills arnt great, Essenscum look so dangerous on the burst and are leaving us in the dust. We need to stop bloody bombing and hoping and look for a frigging target

Commentory shockingly biased as per usual. Taylor and Hird are virtually barracking especially Taylor, he might just well be creaming his pants whenever they make a break, its sickening.

We havent been bad but we need to start hitting targets inside 50 and putting goals on the board when we are on top

BANG BANG
