Saints v Pies Match Thread

[Devilhead]

We are fumbling badly

[Austinnn]

There's no movement from the Saints.

Elliott marks again. 4th goal coming up.

[Austinnn]

I'm listening to this on radio. Adam White reckons "He was fist pumping as soon as he made contact" I'm glad I can't see that.

Cloke marks again. Broomhead and Oxley giving silver service, who is on them.

[Devilhead]

Cloke pushes Fisher out contest ...... Nothing

[Austinnn]

Jack Lonie back on. Good fella!

[Grimfang]

Jack Steven held and slung without the ball in the centre square. They'very paid that twice to the pies, but f... me they miss it.

[skeptic]

I think the plan moving forward is simple

We have an underdeveloped midfield that can easily outmuscled, and will fade

We need to pump as many games as we can into our young midfielders and develop them... Trade for a ready made mid or 2 at seasons end and pick up another quality mid in next seasons draft

[skeptic]

I think the defence has done ok given the supply and the forwards you cant judge due to lack of opportunity

[Devilhead]

Newnes disposal has been horrific all night - have a shot you muppet

[Austinnn]

Newnes kicks to man on mark kicking for goal. Nerves, intit? Has Billings been any good? I've not heard his name since the first Quarter.

[skeptic]

Why not bring Wright on for Schneider

[Austinnn]

Dunstan seems like he's not having a great game, despite being involved in the action. is that right?

Been solid and tried all night, done a few nice things

Can hold his head up

[Austinnn]

Paddy's first mark, what happened? Turnover to Pies

[Devilhead]

Seedsman drops the ball in a tackle on the boundary line ...... Nothing

[Austinnn]

Well this is disappointing, but I won't be discouraged. We're seeing how our young players deal in critical situations, and they will learn from this.

We're seeing which players will have what it takes.

Seedsman drops the ball in a tackle on the boundary line ...... Nothing

That drove me bananas

[Austinnn]

Gilbee says:

turnovers in middle, hard to defend, need to tidy that up, Wright due to enter the field, morale is ok, can be better, guys tend to go into their shell, normal for a young side.

[The Fireman]

the siren....TF.


back to reality. The boys have shown they have something...but as we all thought another 2 years off. F%%^ I hate the Skunks.

[gringo]

The bigger MCG is much harder to shut out space. They are not covering the dangerous spot and not making it themselves.

[WinnersOnly]

Pies killed us through the middle in that 1/4, our run and belief is very fragile and we started panicking with the ball because the run stopped! Poor old Paddy has made some good leads but they womt kick to him.

[Jacks Back]

Billings and Dunstan not doing too much at all. They look slow.

Maybe put Paddy in the ruck for 5 minutes to give him a look at that oval thing.

[Austinnn]

Inside 50s; 50 to 30 their way

[bigred]

reality check.

The consistency will take time. We all know it.

I dont think playing Mccartin was a very good idea.

[Austinnn]

Umpires will be getting a lovely gift from Eddie McGuire this coming week
