Saints v Pies Match Thread

[bergholt]

I reckon all of our free kicks came from Leigh Fisher. Bias.

Well one thing I take from that quarter is that you should fly for a spekkie at every opportunity.

Because 1) it doesn't matter if you knee someone in the back of the head; and 2) you don't have to actually mark them to get a shot at goal.

So long as it looks spectacular

[desertsaint]

Should be a couple of goals up. Unlucky with a dropped mark being paid in front, but generally had the better of the game so far.

[SemperFidelis]

Fantastic effort. Can't remember kicking 6 in the first for a long time. Let's hope we've got more legs as it wears on.

Pies gained probably two goals that they should not have had.

That speccie paid in front was no where near a mark...and that free against Longer for too high was iffy as well

Yep that is what the commentators said, pay it for effort. WTF

This.
Bloody infuriating.

Anyone want to put their cue in the rack yet? Comfortable 1 point lead.

Gilbee talking to ABC saying that they're happy with endevour, but players need to be speedier to react after turnovers. Disappointed that Paddy couldn't mark.

Yes very good quarter by the Saints.

Good to see that Sinclair is having another handy game despite missing his second shot on goal. His first was a ripper though.

[bigred]

Leaky as all hell.

Back fifty has been loose.

[Austinnn]

Parkin was down in the rooms for St Kilda's prematch prep, reckons that the expected Pies to go man to man.

good first quarter..........do not think we will have more legs....double six day break and a trip to Qld.

[Austinnn]

Weller gone from Pendles to Swan

[Austinnn]

Scores level 6.3;39 each

[Austinnn]

Delaney gives free away to Cloke, certain goal to Pies coming up.

edit: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHA

[Austinnn]

Cloke marks from 49m out now, rather than 10m
Sorry folks, that's Karma giving me a slap. I'll shut up with my Schadenfreude.

[Austinnn]

Fisher gives another free to Cloke.

[Austinnn]

Membrey marks well to set up Jacky Steven in goal square.

Misses from 25m out

[Austinnn]

Bit of ball watching in our forward line apparently. Another Pies goal, this is a crucial moment.

[skeptic]

Trying to be too cute

[Austinnn]

Rain settling, skills dropping.

[Austinnn]

Bit too desperate in the tackle. Geary gives a free kick to Pendles.

[Harves Man]

STEVEN! Thanks for the 50m peno, you monochrome monkeys!

Come on Saints fans at the ground, make some noise! Someone wake up the cheer squad!

"Monochrome Monkeys" - sheer genius, Austin - take a bow! Warm day here in Hampshire.

I thank you. Bit chilly across the channel. Is it late in Australia, almost no one's on this thread.

[Austinnn]

3 goals down to the Pies, we're starting to droop. Get up Saints. Roberton doing well.
