Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 1 2017

[The Fireman]

very intense game, both sides swarming. They turned the tables on us this qrt..Richo will sort it. 3rd Qrt is ours.

[Devilhead]

WTF was that crap???????

[Jacks Back]

Not a good game to play Brown instead of Dempster. Too slow and doesn't look like stopping Hogan

[WellardSaint]

If they insist on playing Gilbo, then no wonder we're behind.
Gilbo is just like Clint Jones. Coaches favourite, no skill or composure

[dragit]

5 goal turnaround in a quarter…

Hickey getting a bath 29 - 10 hitouts

Hogan doing as he pleases - isn't this why Brown is playing instead of Dempster?

Jack Steven 10 touches where are you?

Jack Lonie is trying, he's just not very good - where is blake acres F F S…

Gilbo was not a problem

[Con Gorozidis]

Lonie and Dunstan. Great triers but are they good enough?

[George27]

I agree with you re defence positioning, Skeptic . It is surprising how much room we are giving them, standing 20 metres in front of them.

[Playon]

wtf happened in the 2nd qtr.
Mav missed 2 goals
Gresh missed set shot
Melb playing all over us
Gawn killing us in the ruck
Melb smashing us in clearances
Jake Carlisle doing nothing
N Brown missing in action
Can't see Jack Steele anywhere, what's his problem
Jack Steven must have a hard tag, he only got 3 kicks in 2nd qtr, and those were to open space in front of 3 Melb players?

Is Skunk playing today? Is Bruce a forward?

Falling down all over.. Richo has his work cut out before next quarter

MAN UP SAINTS!!!!

[Playon]

Lonie and Dunstan. Great triers but are they good enough?

Didnt you know Dunstan shoots lightning bolts from out of his arse

[spert]

Terrible midfield effort, handball skills terrible. the forwards need to get in front and start leading

[Bluthy]

Jones and Lewis starting to control things armo and Steven need to step up. They look quicker than us. We miss paddy as focal link up. Hickey Bruce done over by yawn. Dunny needs to show some muscle. And kick straight saints!!!!!!

[Bluthy]

Demons would have used a lot of petrol tickets that qtr. need to hit them hard this qtr how fit r we. Very energy draining humid with roof closed players will tire

Acres ( one of our bloody best players ) is sitting in the grandstand " WATCHING THE GAME" LOL what a joke

[BadRossco]

Could Acres have been any worse than Lonie, in fact could anybody have been worse than Lonie, our kicking will put us behind the 8ball we don't need the selection panel to compound it

[SMS]

Congrats demons. Hogan oliver brayshaw petracca. Guns. They will win the flag. In 2018 or whatever. Far out
Sad.

[sunsaint]

Ok I think we need to start an online petition backed up with a go-fund-me page to pay off Richarson to play Acres and get the games into him
Tony74 has explained acres absence with contradicting reasons
But whatever Melbourne are better than we thought and were not as good as we thought...

[Con Gorozidis]

In what parallel universe is Acres not in our best 22?
Coach is delusional.

[Devilhead]

Not working hard enough - simple as that - Dees more way morre desperate - just awful

[Devilhead]

Has the ball even entered our forward line this quarter?

I am f****** furious… just a ridiculous situation, if only we had some guy who could win a clearance.

[skeptic]

How the hell so they get uncontested possession after possession.

[spert]

Not one of Richo's best coaching efforts- zones breaking down, no real plan going forward. Not sure what Richo sees in Lonie. Looks like the forward line is being built around big marking players, but once the ball hits the deck, it's all over.
Steele has a long way to go.
