Saints v Dish Lickers Match thread

[Con Gorozidis]

How is it looking?

[Kate]

Even.

[LTN16]

Can't stand listening to the s*** channel 7 commentators!

There saying jack billings has 2 left feet, obviously havnt seen him play.

[8856brother]

Another 1st qtr blowout. Dogs biggest 1st qtr of the year. They look like scoring every time they get it. Umpiring. Well nothing changes.

[Kate]

Umpires. Just let them play!

[dragit]

Dogs look sharp 46 to our 19 at qtr time.

[White Winmar]

Where is the defensive pressure, especially around the stoppages? How many times did they just sweep it away with superior numbers and little or no opposition?

[IluvHarvey]

No wonder Lenny is retiring!

[Con Gorozidis]

Well they are on track for 200.

Our midfield is also getting royally reamed. Thats the main issue. We are -10 on inside 50s. Thats terrifying. They have 20 inside 50s already!

We have Dempster Gwilt Gilbo, Savage and Delaney down back so we cant use the 'kids' excuse there either.

Far ken umpires give some soft frees and frees to the dogs

[mad saint guy]

Much of the game is quite even, neither team is playing particularly well. We're just getting burned on the rebound as the bulldogs know that whoever Gwilt's direct opponent is will be able to get into plenty of space for the long kick into the forward line. Umps gave the dogs two absolute gifts as well. Defensive efforts from Schneider and Savage have been embarrassing. I'd be tempted to sub Murdoch on for Schneids, even if he doesn't get a kick again you know he'll provide pressure.

[BadRossco]

If you can't catch them you will not beat them

[Hurricane]

That 50 was the absolute worst decision for a while. Stevie J gets away with kicking blokes in the head and we can't touch players without giving away frees. Don't try to tell me there is no team bias

BANG BANG

[MC Gusto]

Dogs are at least 2 full seasons ahead of us from the perspective of drafting quality and games into their kids. Look a heap more potent going forward and far more structured down back.

[MC Gusto]

4 inside 50s at the start off the second. Endeavour is there skills lacking

[Con Gorozidis]

Jacky! Lovely kick.

[Con Gorozidis]

Dogs are at least 2 full seasons ahead of us from the perspective of drafting quality and games into their kids. Look a heap more potent going forward and far more structured down back.

Agree with that. But they have backed their youth policy and only kept 6 gun older players (Murphy, Griffin, Coon-dog, Morris, Griffin, Minson).

We still have some old GOPs running around.

[Hurricane]

Pressure is abysmal. Dogs doing as they like

BANG BANG

[Con Gorozidis]

Thanks heavens for Jackie Boy. Only one who looks good enough at the minute.

[Con Gorozidis]

Well that piece of play summed it all up for mine.

We cant string more than 3 passes together in one passage unless we go backwards.

They were able to string together 6 handballs then 3 kicks in one passage - GOAL. We almost tackled them but not quite.

[magnifisaint]

Umpire 11 is a cheat

[Con Gorozidis]

Stop bombing to Roo against 3 blokes. FFS.

[Con Gorozidis]

TC front and square!
Thats where u want to be!

[Con Gorozidis]

Rooey 1 on 1 . Too good in the marking contest.

But as usual when game is in balance - he shanks his shot on goal and we lose momentum with a rebound goal.

They are too quick and too good - and they arent very good.

[magnifisaint]

2 goal turn around!
