[quote="BigMart"]Is it me or are the commentators barracking....

Barracking, they get too excited when Port have possession. That's when you know they aren't on your side or likely to given unbiased comments.

[Liam_G]

with their class they are pretty ruthless we have to shut them down on the halfback

Yep, absolutely. It happens every time. Need to shut it down back there.

[mullet]

great goal against the flow

[Bluthy]

HICKEY IS OUR NEW MIDFIELDER clearances hard running link up play well done gresh too

[mullet]

this out of bounds rule is crap. no one wants the ball. everyone letting it go out.

[Liam_G]

Does anyone ever post a sentence about Geary that doesn't start with a compliment followed up with a but

It says something. The guy has ALL the qualities of a great leader, club man and the guy you'd want by your side in the clinches. I just wish so badly that his skills, his execution, would get better.

[Bluthy]

BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT!!! we are taking the game on playing risky but with reward get running great support!!!!

[Con Gorozidis]

Thats the way saints! beautiful kicking. composure. goal!

[Bluthy]

LONIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bluthy]

Crowd gone real quiet

[Bluthy]

bastard wingard. bad kick by newnes should have just held it close to half time

[mullet]

I hate how we give away cheap goals in the final minute of quarters

[mullet]

geez if some of those points were goals

[Bluthy]

9 goals 8 to 9 goals 2 shows how classy port are when they move it cleanly - they can cut you open in 30 seconds. But we are doing our share of attacking. We bombed too much early but are being more strategic going fwd. Brillaint first half.

Love the young saints tenacity . If roo can get into the game ..has been quiet we are in with a chance...we have a team of mid size bulldozers ..Weller is a beast.

[SaintPav]

Nice shots of Port players coming off the ground. Must be a PA only telecast.

[Con Gorozidis]

Positives:
Effort from all players is 100%.
Hickey - absolutely dominant performance. Come of age.
General game plan is good.
Weller - looks generally dangerous and doesnt die wondering.
That goal where we kicked end to end hitting targets against the tide (Gilbo kicked it in the end from 5 m out). Great composure and we didnt panic.

Negatives:
Geary's kicking
Fisher and Dempster look slow. Dempster in particular looks to be struggling a bit.
Eli, Dunstan, Acres, Billings need more of the ball - these guys are pretty young so dont want to be too harsh on them either.

[saintspremiers]

Great game by Hickey. Awesome in fact.

Just one more good quarter then a dog fight in the last. Can't see us going down by much today, may even be a quarter chance.

Interchange is 47 us to 42 them.

We have only 43 left for the game!

Why aren't the TV commentators following this, or is it above their comprehension?

The 90 cap is a REAL cap and can influence the outcome if you have hardly any left and the game is close.

Will we run out of legs??

[kosifantutti]

Blatant throw in the build up to the last Port goal.

Would't be happy if I was a Port fan having over 60 points scored against a potentially bottom 6 team.

[mullet]

Blatant throw in the build up to the last Port goal.

lot of throwing going on today

[prwilkinson]

Super stuff.

[saintspremiers]

Another thing - we won't win unless Roo lifts.

[saintsRrising]

Good quarter by the Saints.

Main positive was Hickey's all round game in the ruck for us. In pressure situations often used the ball really well.

Main negative was that Geary really put us to the sword that quarter. He had the chance to set up StKilda goals, but instead set them up for Port including when running in the clear.
