[sunsaint]

8 - 11 52
5 - 2 32
collingwood finish very well
things could very ugly out at the "G"
and here for that matter

[bigcarl]

I'm at work and cannot watch the game.

What happened to Goddard?

Also, what is the half time score and are we any chance?

[The Fireman]

they look like we did 2 years ago, we look like a side going down hill.
too much hand ball and not enough acuracy with our kicking. other than that we are a good middle of the road side.

[SainterK]

19 scoring shots to 6.

Ben needs to lift, or boys need to rove to Jolly.

Forward line, backline....not much they can do.

[mullet]

holy smoke they kicked 5goals 8 that quarter thank god they missed.

Oh well, whats happening at the olympics, believe their is a bloke from Jamaica who can run a bit

[SainterK]

Bye bye Saints made to look like the pretenders they have been all year !

I so hope they can turn it around.

Do you?

[Munga]

I can't remember the last time I was so ANGRY with our skills and decisions. Fkn woeful at the moment.
Apart from Dal, we are soft and fkn SUCK arse in the clearances!

[saintsRrising]

We simply arent skilful enough, we turn it over. Under pressure, we turn it over constantly, but we also turn it over when there is no pressure. We get away with against the poorer teams but the good team make us pay, badly!!

Indeed. We just have too many players who turn it over unnecessarily. Geary is not alone but he will not be a good player till he acquires the ability to use the ball better when under a bit of pressure.

The first quarter I thought we dominated general play but wasted it with some shoddy handballs and kicks. Should hae been 4 goals up but were not.

Second quarter the Pies got back into and were slick particularly in the first few minutes. Just proof of the old adage that you have to score when on top.

Do you?

What are we pretending to be exactly? We arent in the 8.

[dirtydog24]

Ever seen a more pitiful effort in the ruck that McEvoy's so far?

Pittman-esque

Makes Jolly look like Polly Farmer every time.

Why, oh why, are our dinky handpasses BACK into the pack, not like Collingwoods, relieving out to the runners?

[SainterK]

Can point the finger at the backline, but when they have 19 scoring shots to 6, 11 more inside 50's....I don't think that's entirely fair.

[CURLY]

Umpires are once again having a major say. Ball gets kicked to Kosi Shaw scrags and hangs on for dear life no free ball goes to Dawes Gwilt holds for a split second free. Justice was served when Nathan Brown held Kosi by the arm and wouldnt give him a run at the contest only to have Reid fall backwards and be knocked senceless.

[chook23]

Who is going to make the call and tap kosi on the shoulder

You just can not defend him

he does not contribute on so many ocassions

his time is up

cant blame the umpires or the commentators unfortunately

[sainter104]

half time sorry to say but not good enough season over looking foward to 2013

[saintspremiers]

Can someone please start a should we tank thread for some entertainment.

[ShakenNotStirred]

What about Milney??? Seemed to have escaped the spotlight tonight.....tried to be toooooooo fancy on tooooo many occasions. The filth have him worked out........doesn't work hard enough when we don't have the ball.

Could be worse, at least we dont barrack for Richmond

[Pwoit]

I want to throw up now hearing that and seeing the st kilda turnovers at work.
Fkkkkk!

Or like Gram's handball to Ray who had an opponent on him who then easily tackled him for an easy free.

We are rushing the ball and not taking good options often enough.

First quarter they kept them in touch. How they missed that push by Jolly and mark is beyond me.

[SaintPav]

Closest thing we have to going to a game of English football with their disgusting mob...

[Verdun66]

Gee that was ordinary....panic. Such an easy goal.
