Match Thread Saints v Port Round 19 2017

[thecrevis]

Jack Lonie is a shocker. How is he in this team.

He's our only goal scorer.

What on earth is your point

Bleeding obvious I would've thought. He's now kicked 50% of our goals so would still keep him.

He has one goal from a set shot. That doesn't warrant any f****** players spot in a Team. Watch the f****** match!

[saintsRrising]

Much better quarter Saints.....except the goalkicking

[Con Gorozidis]

A real scrap.
I like the look of White.
Bruce doing a mountain of grunt work and creating opportunities.
Shame our smalls can't capitalise on the score board.

[mullet]

Wtf 0.5 for the qtr!! This is a lesson in how to lose matches

lesson? we have been doing it for 2 seasons now

[Mr Magic]

The TV commentary is like Dennis Commeti compared to the radio broadcast on SEN!

[Pwoit]

Who does Josh Bruce have to bend over a sofa <edited by mods> to get a free kick?

[saynta]

Like, have we seriously never won in Adelaide? That is shameful. Today is a big opportunity! Come on Saints.

nah. Just adeaide oval

[shrodes]

We're right in it. Seems like the game plan shifted to more overlap run than kick down the boundary, and surprise surprise it worked. Go Saints, give these biased commentators something to cry about

[mbogo]

We will never win in Adelaide by asking for free kicks. Never happened, never will. We are playing better than them, but what a shitty game. Can we just kick straight in second half, please? And get a forward coach!

[StPeter]

White looking good.

Should be 3 or 4 goals up on the play.

Something has to be done about our goal-kicking accuracy. It is pathetic all year!

[SuperSaint]

White been good. Can't understand how easily most of our players get thrown off the ball.

[saintsRrising]

The TV commentary is like Dennis Commeti compared to the radio broadcast on SEN!

You mean the Port supporters barracking masquerading as commentary?

[saynta]

Here's a thought. Give lonie and mav the flick. Cant do worse.

[SemperFidelis]

We are definitely in this; keep that up and the tide must turn on the scoreboard. Surely

[SemperFidelis]

Our sponsee has shown something already today; nice clean skills and some pace. Looking good Brandon

[desertsaint]

Bruce been unlucky with the umps. Been good bar the marking (again) and giving a target. Nedd gresh or lonie at his feet.
Dunstan's been our best mid again - extracting the hard ball, laying tackles, kicking well into the fifty. Carlisle and Roberton good. White looks settled. Billings played well but really letting us down with his goal kicking. Newnes much better after last week. Ross laying some nice tackles.
All up a good quarter - we dominated, but need to convert our chances.

[SemperFidelis]

Weather looks like it might improve. MUST score.

[loris]

Gee Ricuitto (? Spelling) has the 'hates' for Josh Bruce - he pots at him at every opportunity. He won't even give him a smiddgen of credit for the efforts Bruce continually puts in

[mbogo]

Bruce would get votes for effort so far .. The others need to bounce off and Rove p to his attack on the ball and presence l

[SemperFidelis]

Have been pleased with Dunny so far today; except for the one failed attempt to break a tackle has been very clean with the ball ... almost looked "pacey"
there on a couple of occasions ...

[St.Roly]

That free kick against Blake that gifted them a goal looked a shocker - he had a handful of the top of the Port player's jumper!

[Jacks Back]

What's the go with Jack Steven??....been off the boil for a long time now

I think he's scared to get hurt ever since he found out his girlfriends pregnant.

[Burkeyboy]

Bruce doing a mountain of work, he's being raped in the contests by Port defenders but he is to honest, needs to learn to draw the free kicks. Would have 3 goals away from Adelaide.

[George27]

Effort fabulous. Skills not so. Goalkicking abysmal. Port crowd worse than abysmal.

[Bruce G McAbee]

We won that quarter!
