Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos Round 13 2017

[meher baba]

Yep, the throwing and rugby passing is destroying the game.

[mullet]

8.12...another 20 point game coming up?

12.20 final score...watch this space

as long as we win I dont care really

You know you do.

oh alright then

I can't see them beating 3.5 in the final term, let alone the deficit. Fingers crossed.

Wrong on all counts...always consult the octopus in such matters.

We need the oracle. Ah that was my all time favorite thread on here way back when. Geez it was funny

[mullet]

home in time to see them sing the song. geez they hardly sang it with gusto

[desertsaint]

yeah hard to watch, but good to sing.

Hope you were out of tune, just like our team.

i'm never out of tune - i mime.

I think I'm actually losing interest in the game. In footy I mean. There's no art in it any more.

I said the same thing this week

Very robotic isnt it.

Yep that's how it seems to me too. I had the impression of watching a bunch of energiser bunnies who's mission is to do everything as fast as possible at all costs. Just not enjoying it.

Total agreement.
I've noticed that in the last year or so.
Thought it was just Saints being in a low point...but actually think it's the game.

[degruch]

No killer instinct unfortunately

Since 1873...very annoying.

The whole rhythm of the game has fundamentally changed. Feel confused. How can I give up footy? Yet am not enjoying it. It's like staying with an old habit that's past it's use by date. And all the sanitised spin put out by the ubiquitous marketing types. Just makes me stare blankly into space.

although it's nice to beat those cheats from Arden St, the game itself was horrible to watch.
Ugly and I don't want to see the replay

I used to watch every game every round. Couldnt get enough. Now I cant be bothered. I dont understand it, I must be dumb. It is so dissected now that I feel really stupid cos I dont get it. To many opinions, too many rule changes, too contrived.

It's because in the back of your mind, nagging you, is the 1% chance (actually less than that on our history) that we'll win the flag. One day. And for some reason, we all have an itch that only that event can scratch. Silly as it sounds.

[mullet]

geezus, it was brown who tackled waite you idiots

Aggggggghhhhhhhhh! That's the truth. You cruel man. I'm stuck in this cycle and can't get out.....help!!!

[Impatient Sainter]

Woeful set shot kicking at goal again. Still only 2 1/2 quarters of football played. Its obvious they cant play at the level required for the full 120 minutes. A really shallow win in the end.

Should have been 17.12, not the bloody other way around.
Rooey, Billings (not the touched ones, but the miss on the run in front)

GC at Etihad- how will that go next week?
Didn't GC beat a top 4 team recently?

we play that brand of garbage, we will get our bums handed to us on a plate

For the year so far : 145 goals 165 behinds.

[bergsone]

Should've won by 10 goals...

A win is a win is a win

Agree with both

Rubbish skills, just rubbish.
Something rotten at East Rd

Nice to win but the midfield got totally wiped in the last quarter. The defensive work of the forwards went missing. Should have won by a whole lot more, so more work for Richo. Seems like once the ball gets in he centre corridor, we lose the plot- luckily North are not that good. Need f our quarter footy.

First 3 quarters? no postives? No comment on good coaching? all you come up with is 4 negatives

[Jacks Back]

Before the game started if you had told me we will win by 17 points I would have taken that in a heartbeat.

We needed a win after our terrible last 3 games (or 4 games if you include the win over Carlton) and we got it.

As per my second post on this thread about AFL 360 (on Foxtel with Richo & the geelong kray) and us winning when the cats lose - I hope the cats don't win too many more games.

What did one of our previous coaches say? We bank the 4 points and move on.

[DJ Higgins]

I was at the game and the third quarter was one of the worst things I have ever seen. I would rather watch an Adam Sandler movie.

Go ahead then.

Hey colin

[shrodes]

Dunstan listed as calf injury in the post match report, did anyone notice that happen?
