Match Thread Saints v Hawks @ Tassie

F+++++n robbed by the umpires that last quarter.

Those two not distance decisions were crap when the Hawks consistently kicked shorter than that all day. Pus that first kick was definitely distance. Swung momentum to the Hawks.

What was that last Hawks free for? With about 25 secs to go...

We went in with such commitment and just fell short.....gutted and proud at the same time

Gutted by the umpiring

Yes pro-Hawk umpiring all day.

I mean Rioli in the last fair bump into his side. Awarded head high.

cannot throw yourself in like that any more. its considered dangerous. in years gone by like when hawthorn won their premierships in the 80s it was considered gutsy

you mean exactly like the hawks player did in our fwd 50 - didn't even try to get it out - no way would the ump pay that against his beloved hawks with Mitchell, Hodge and Rioli - delicious

Riold was staging for frees every time he got near the ball.

Yep but what was that last kick for? Am trying to work it out. Our guy went in like his life depended on it and got penalised.

Immensely proud and gutted all together.

WE HAVE ARRIVED!

Dangerous why? Did he take the Hawks' player legs out?

didnt say it was right, but that is the rule. thought it was fantastic desperation by our player. did hodge play with a guard on his arm. that is a disgrace and so dangerous

L.A. Saint · Sat 16 Apr 2016 5:51pm

You cant slide in to an opposition players legs anymore.
The commentators called it correctly.
That was one of the few decisions the umps got right in the last.

bigred · Post: # 1607816Post **bigred** » Sat 16 Apr 2016 5:51pm

s*** effort.

Still lost.

They got what, eight goals off direct turnovers.

Man I wish we won that one.

Grimfang · Post: # 1607817Post **Grimfang** » Sat 16 Apr 2016 5:51pm

Diving into the legs. Free against if you do it. It's been in for a while.
That said, just like kicking in danger, it only ever gets paid against us.

Yes - he hit his knees and took his legs out

hey I dont write the rules. this is how the game has gone. what used to be gutsy is now dangerous. as I said in another post I loved the desperation by our player.

Okey doke. Thanks guys. Awesome desperation though. Jaysus they gave it everything. P.R.O.U.D of our team.

Not just Rioli. They should rename to the Hawthorn Ducks.

The Fireman · Sat 16 Apr 2016 5:57pm

Well done Saints...not long now.
smile emoticon
I don't see this as a loss..I see it as an indication of great things to come
PS the free against Armitage in the dying secs ...that rule needs to be looked at.

Pull your f**** head in. I certainly agree that we should have won, and that we were our own worst enemy with many turnovers costing goals, that eventually coat us the win. That's on us and it's our fault, not the umpires. WE lost that game.

But saying the entire match was a "s**" effort"? That's pathetic and diminishing and I hope to God the players don't listen to chumps like you who tell them they gave a "s*** effort". They gave an enormous effort that in the end wasn't good enough.

" s*** effort"?! FFS, go back to that hole you hide in all season .

Do you mean the contest around our 50 meter line in the last quarter? Our guy took the legs of the Hawthorn player down low so, according to the new law, he was in error.

Like the commentator said, 20 years ago that was good and brave play.
