Match Thread Saints v Pies @ MCG

[Trixilver]

Dunstan best game in a long while. He can still miss targets by foot, but he was clean by hand today.

[The Fireman]

finally some love.

[MC Gusto]

What a week can do in footy!! Big win, freeman with 46, paddy smashing packs and newnes dunstan Ross savage etc all stepping up big time!

[Saint_J]

great win. would have liked to see Minch in the middle most the game but o well. we seemed to have a game plan today which was good to see.

[The Fireman]

Gilbert....good game.

[Saint_J]

Gilbert....good game.

good post. furthering that, great game from many down last week. was a bit shocking today was like i was watching a different team. got to be in-between the ears.

[CarlD]

Very happy with that result. The Saint's run and gun game was fantastic!

[The Fireman]

they now look match fit

[MC Gusto]

Over the moon with the result

[SemperFidelis]

Nearly 51000 crowd. Richmond station chockers!

Haters are quiet. Where are the trolls?

The team!

[Trixilver]

Billings is an incredibly clean player. Every time it's in his hands you know something is about to go down.

Yeah Dempster's no good. Geary's no good. Gilbert's no good. Fisher's no good. Etc etc etc.

Richo's an egomaniac - and is no good!

We're tanking!

They'll pretend they never posted that stuff or that the players simply responded to their barbs

Good all around performance but Newnes, Joey, Steven, Billings notable, Rooey before he went off was great. Mav provided targets up forward. Savage back to his penetrating kicking. Gilbert great game off the back of last week. Basically listed half the team and could go on with the rest. Really happy. We missed some golden opportunities to belt the filth but a great performance all around (especially two men down)

Special mention to the entire backline, I think the Pies only had one or two marks up forward in the second half. Immense with the two men up and the quick hands to get out of trouble. Skills were much slicker today.

And the haters were whinging about only one change after the belting last week. We were miles better with basically the same team.

[St Loxton]

Bloody beautiful win. nice comeback from last game.

[Trev from the Bush]

Gilbert....good game.

Stood up in second half when we needed a marking target up forward.

But we only won because of the posters who refuse to accept mediocrity and boldly call it out when they see it.

I agree totally. He used it beautifully last week but only had 19 disposals. Today he was clinical again and had 30 disposals and covered a lot of territory. All class. Very impressive.

Where are the beers at?

Level 2 back of n6.

Never seen Beva so positive .--- he led the room in singing both our club songs.

Eastern (Tom) was mentioned tòo.

[desertsaint]

Not happy. game delayed by an hour here. locked myself in to watch it 'live'. wife walks in and proudly proclaims to know the half time score. i offer divorce if she opens her mouth. half time comes and dad visits. first thing he says is 'saints won!'
effin channel 7!
great effort - with our bench i wouldn't have felt we were safe til the last six minutes.

[kosifantutti]

Anyone listening to SEN right now?

Commentators expressing bewilderment that we are playing so many old players.

Fair call.
