Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
Our pressure has been good
Backline holding up well
Gotta keep running and try and go through the middle of the ground more and switch it
Port don't look like they want to run - they have a few heavy mid fielders so its a slog for them and they aren't covering the ground well
Get some order into our forward line and we will win this

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
The only thing worse than our field kicking is our kicking for goal. Will be almost impossible to win with such poor skills and the home bias of the umpiring. Although the umps aren't kicking it for us but perhaps they would do a better job.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
Riccuito was a great footballer. As a commentator he strikes me as a conceited knob who comes across as either too bored or too good to be watching the game.
Josh Bruce - outstanding in his frenetic attack at the ball at all times. Crazily courageous in his running back with the ball marking attempt when the behind post spoiled his effort.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
saints are right in this match but they need a lot more from acres,gresh and weller
as usual, despite staged free kick and goal loney is a total waste of time
great persistence and effort from the boys in the 2nd 1/4
more of that + some polish + increased effort from the above and the saints are right in this
would help if they all lower their eyes when kicking into the fwd line
c'mon blakey lift and bring us home

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
never going to get the rub of the green in adelaide, but the non free to bruce, followed by the free against acres was a 12 point turnaround. amazed at criticism of bruce not playing for the free by ruccutio after his criticism of lonie for doing exactly that.
on bruce's post collision - why wasn't a mark awarded anyway? had control of the ball when he hit it.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
Well I can't disagree with that. Billings just CANNOT win his own ball in so many games I've watched and when he can't finish, he is a very average VFL player at best....fact! Like I said last week, it's soul breaking watching a slightly younger and same height Heeney win hard ball plays and kill Billings in general play. Hawks hit Swans hard last night and got a win, beating the so called form team of the past 2 months. Have too many players that go missing in contests.SoopaSaint wrote:Sometimes boys get ahead of themselves... boys like Billings. "Yeah but he's a lovely young man..." I hear all you grandmothers saying. You wouldn't believe the number of 'lovely young men' we've had through this Club in the last 25 years! None of them can play football - that's their ONLY problem. We have no respect in this league... we move 'home' like street people... we sell our souls to get into the black... and once we have been at one location long enough we go to our fans and members, cap in embarrassing hand, asking for money to rights the wrongs of the past. Seriously - something needs to be done about THIS Club!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017
WTF?! Acres, you idiot!!
Can we get some forwards who actually back themselves in front of goal?

Can we have royal commission in to our goal kicking?

Can't argue with that either because what other reason for such ugly crap footy in many games this year.
