Game Day: Power V Saints

[Kate]

you tell him joey

Like the passion.

[Con Gorozidis]

Mixed feelings. Terrific endeavour. Roberton is a beast.

But poor decisions. Bruce should have gone to Acres in the goal square and Billings needed to either take the extra step and kick the goal or pass. No point lobbing it on to the goal line.

[LTN16]

I feel like switching this game off.. Umpires having to much influence on the game

[Bluthy]

TOP GUN! Mav goal from the fiddy

[Liam_G]

....and Billings needed to either take the extra step and kick it or pass. No point lobbing it on to the goal line.

Yes, I feel like the whole team is like that. Too many long kicks in instead of finding targets.

Bruce should have nailed that goal.

[BigMart]

If this is footy in 2016

It's a disgrace.... Umpiring is bordering ridiculous .... The crowd may as well umpire

And Josh Bruce cost us a goal with a selfish act

yep he did guy on his own in square and bruce turned his back and didnt even score.

wish we were more accurate

[mullet]

this out of bounds is a joke. we didnt even go for the ball then

[Con Gorozidis]

Bloody hell that was enjoyable.

[mullet]

shut up wingard you threw your head back

[bigcarl]

Very good start by our boys. Why aren't I convinced they can keep it up?

I agree it's not enjoyable to watch anymore

[Bluthy]

Great first qtr for 2016. Benefited from some huge Port turnovers where they are pretty rusty. But we are putting huge pressure on. Roberton, Steven, Hickey doing really well.

[SAAD]

Bring it on!!!

[mullet]

so far we are playing better than freo, collingwood and essendon

[Liam_G]

Good quarter. Capitalising on turnovers more than we did in 2015. Moving forward from half back well, just the structure and kicks into 50 that are worrying. Pressure is great, a continuation from last year.

[skeptic]

I'm wanting to enjoy the game especially given that we're playing well...

But the match is near on unwatchable.

It's a game of where will the next free kick be played.

Deliberate out of bounds is being paid willy nilly and completely inconsistently... A second counts as prior opportunity sometimes, a run down doesn't at others.

Ugh

[The Fireman]

competitive thats all we can hope for and that's what we are getting.

[desertsaint]

oob rule is just overumpired and quite stupid in it's intent whilst anyone is still allowed to leap in a marking contest and punch the ball directly out anyway.

[bergsone]

Can we keep it going,look quicker than Port at the moment

[Liam_G]

I've watched a few games over the weekend, only missed the Dogs/Freo game earlier, the deliberate OOB rule has been fairly consistent across the board. Benefit of the doubt certainly isn't with the player with the ball, that's for sure.

and players being jumped on and ridden into ground. not just this game all games. what happened to protecting the player going for the ball

[Bluthy]

TOP GUNNER I FEEL THE ROLE, THE ROLE FOR GOALS!!!! Mav again

[saintspremiers]

25 to 23 interchanges at qtr time.

5 over par so need to watch that.

Port are at 23 with an injury though.

[mullet]

great team goal saints
