Go Sainters!!!

[matrix]

great work schneides
deja vu

[God_Nel]

The footy isn't pretty but Steven is! Those white sleeves!

[CURLY]

Blatant frees missed to McCartin and Joey in our forward 50.

[No77778]

Gilbert doing some great things

[bigcarl]

Should be further ahead. Twenty inside 50s to five. Got to put it on the board

[bigcarl]

Umps are giving us everything. Keep it up you maggots

[SaintPav]

Love how Basil Zemplis just completely missed a courageous spoil by Roberton. Not even a mention.

I am tipping a world record in free kicks today. total of 60. just going by every other game this weekend

[Austinnn]

I haven't watched much footy lately, but I have to say I'm surprised by just how low the skills are. It seems like a lot of players here just have stumps instead of hands and feet. I hope we can sort it out eventually.

[The Fireman]

Playing crap but doing well...says a lot about Melb.


Poor old Gilbert...just about every disposal goes to the opposition


Go Dees we want picks

[Jacks Back]

C'mon Saints. Keep it up!

[Locals322]

Swear to god Sam Gilbert was good once.
Anyone there? Cries of ball and booing from Melbourne supporters alot louder than our cheers.
Savage stays in the team?

[desertsaint]

rusty start and still missing targets but some good signs by the saints. well on top at the moment.

[realdeal]

Good 2nd half of qtr.. Stepped up a gear and became better with the ball.

Gilbo did some nice things, Paddy presented well, Steven picked up as the qtr progressed and Roo was Roo.

And we have the smallest cheer squad in the world in attendance.

When you stand out you're not ordinary

[GSG]

Go Dees we want picks

What is it with Saints supporters wanting a wooden spoon or low ladder ranking just to pick up some early first-round draft picks. You don’t see the Hawks, Cats, North, etc. operate like this! The Hawks would be the best example. When did they last have a wooden spoon or sat very low on the ladder???
And yes….. I do want them to win.

He's a Fireman, not a brain surgeon!

[Austinnn]

Do they have a stat for direct turnovers to opposition advantage?

There should be a grade system for turnovers:
Grade 1: turnover to opposition direct scoring shot
Grade 2: turnover to opposition to advantage
Grade 3: turnover to opposition in congestion

Something like that anyway.

[Devilhead]

Ok Melbourne are flooding our forwadline but thats becasue we arent moving it quickly enough - we are clueless going into the forwardline

[Devilhead]

and then when Melbourne break from our forwardline they have space everywhere

We have to clear our forwardline out and make space somehow

Richo being out coached at the moment

[8856brother]

Where's Curly? Dees supporters about to riot.

[Devilhead]

Our forwards are being led to the ball as well - need to play in front

[Unforgiven]

This will be like the dogs game. Our forward line flooded all day, we can't score. Then the other team will score on the rebound if an open forward line. We poses and go backwards and just facilitate the flood. All a learning process but no less frustrating.
