Our club will meekly go along with this and say nothing.
We are f****** paupers.
We are like the lowest caste slaves who just get f***ed in the ass and say 'yes thank you master'.

I'd love to play West Coast in a fair fight - just once!

I'm just as livid with the umpires as any on this forum.

But, it was ours to win and we lost it. So many missed shots at goal our and forward structure broke down in the last qtr. We only have ourselves to blame.

Still, the Weagles needed a combo of us shooting our selves in the foot and the umpires to get them over the line. I'm looking forward to the next time we play them.

Seriously. The
Commentary in the last 5 minutes has been a disgrace. We have an attitude problem? Are you serious? We have a travel problem? We lead for 90% of the game and did not get smashed at any time.

How can you win when you kick 1 goal 2 to 5 goals 3 in the last quarter..

They tried, but, still shite..


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

that goal reversal was so costly. would of been our biggest lead for the game and the weagles were on the ropes. That was the moment I knew the umps would decide the game. nothing will happen. This game is so contrived. Look at the drug cheats and their soft draw. AFL making it up to them. Gotta look after the big clubs

Could have been a great win, but as usual, skill cost us

Had our chances

Forward line pretty average, with that much dominance

Btw
Well played Lonie
Kicking at goal a factor. But the umpire handicap much more influential. An even playing field would have yeided a far different result.

Our deeper problem bobbed up when we stopped running so hard and couldn't chain possessions via linkup - then we found it almost impossible for individual players to hit targets and let us keep the ball for a bit and take the heat out of it.

13-19 is terrible kicking.
Terrible.
Only have ourselves to blame for that crap.
Billings another game with zero goals. 44 games. 28 goals. Garbage.

Was always going to be really rusty after a year off. The only way to get genuine fitness and touch is to play serious AFL games. Needs a third of the season before we'll see him at his best I reckon.

We need to come out next week and belt the Lions by 100 points, put the rest of the league on notice and build confidence for the rest of the season

just go check out the stats. the frees to their forwards is like having an extra man on the ground.

Contrived, this business is just contrived and full of drug cheats and drug addicts

He then lays a finger on Lonie? and Lonie misses the kick...incorrect disposal.

Pretty much sums up the umpiring for the night right there.
Giles actually took it out of the ruck. One of the worst decisions of the night, but there were plenty to choose from.

We had momentum continually stripped from us by blatant cheating. How can you explain not paying hands in the back then he goals the umpire was right there. f****** cheating.

I reckon we raid Gold coast for fast, classy mids and/or a good young tall back - they will all want out of that shithole club.

Massive improvement Saints, on the road. The commentators keep saying our kicking.... but they questioned every ungiven frees. Heartbreaking.

Umpires smiling as they went off. Looking forward to their line up for 20 odd polishes I guess.
