Official Match Day Thread - Vs GCS

[noob]

The small forwards need to lift. Other than that not too bad. You can see Armitage and Steven about ready to take over the midfield reigns. Still got Schneider and Montagna to come in the team.

lenny hayes dives in, goes for the ball, gives away a free kick.

stupid new rule.

It was an incorrect because it wasnt forceful contact.

More unintended consequences.
Asking umpires to define forceful and be consistent in its application.
We all know it won't happen.
This rule should have been trialled in the lower leagues before coming to the premier competition.

As opposed to all the other rules that are an interpretation.

Just love Maister's workrate and 1%-ers. On his game to date, Kosi is no chance to displace him.

He would displace hickey if anyone, that's more who kosi has lost his spot to

Kosi was playing FF in recent years, in tandem with Roo.

Maister is now playing in tandem with Roo as the second key forward.

Maister has pushed Kosi out IMO.

Without a doubt, the worst commentary team (beside Richo) of all time. BT was a buffoon who benefitted from a great midfield in his day, what's he doing having a go at Richo's tactical gameplay analysis? It took him 25 minutes to realise we'd slowly been strangling the life out of the Suns.

Anyways, Maister looking great, Hickey promising, Roberton, Geary and Siposs doing a great job down back...if we can nail this one, it'll be a great build up.

Yeah it is really uncomfortable and happened alot last year. Richo actually got quite shirty with him last year. I find it really disrespectful and cant stand listening. Shame cos I actually like to hear what Richo has to say. He does have something to offer, unlike BT who tells us that Jack comes from Lorne everytime we play

[SainterK]

Gwilt looks his old self, great game by jimmy g!

[Scollop]

Ill say it again, leadership suits jarryn and dave...bodes well.

+1

Quote from 7 commentators went something like; younger blokes like Steven, Armitage and Geary - quality players!!

Great to see the next generation of Saints stars and perhaps future captains are now also looking to be the leading possession gatherers and most influential players on the list. These guys are hungry to play finals!! This new bunch (Gears/Armo/Siposs/Newnes/Saad/Hickey/Stanley/Milera/Macca) have to have huge years if we are going to make it.

GO SAINTS

[Old Mate]

why the F*** did the umpire say stanley played on. maggot

[noob]

How was that play on after the mark?

[OneEyedSainter77]

Nice to see you OES

Nice to be back. I stay away off season as this place can be a nightmare. Also just had another little sainter so been a bit preoccupied.

Piss poor umpiring there leads to another gc goal. 47-38 now.

[OneEyedSainter77]

Roo working his butt off. Been in everything.

[PakenhamSaint]

Gilbert gets a dud call from the umpire. Ablett goals
STK: 6.11 (47)
GCS: 5.8 (38)

[Pwoit]

Breaking news Gilbo hit a target to Milera who goals

Saints by 16

[PakenhamSaint]

Milera Goals.
STK: 7.12 (54)
GCS: 5.8 (38)

[OneEyedSainter77]

Saad and Gilbert combine well results in a shot at goal for milera.

Got it. Handy goal to put the buffer back out to 16.

Been an intriguing contest tonight. I know we're no world beaters but Gold Coast look like they have improved a lot so far this year.

[plugger66]

I really hope it is wet because we look ordinary with our fumbles.

[PakenhamSaint]

Goal Gold Coast:
STK: 7.12 (54)
GCS: 6.8 (44)

[SainterK]

How's Gilbert's kicking been, few assists now

[saintsRrising]

Suicide Blake handball causes turnover for Suns goal

[OneEyedSainter77]

Comedy in the middle from both sides. First from the Gold Coast defender hall, then from the st Kilda defender in blake. Results eventually in a Gold Coast goal.

Nine points the difference. 54-45
