Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 5 2018

[Jacks Back]

Great half so far saints. Keep it up!

We need Clark to lift a bit as 1 possession doesn't cut it. Membrey needs to also lift as well (only 3 possies).

And Gilbert, change yer boots!

[portosaint]

Get Coffield up here.
I want to boof him.

[Trev from the Bush]

That was the best they played all year. But there's another half to go.

Really? Good to see you can count to four!

[George27]

Coffield is an absolute gun.
So clean. So quick. Good size.
Look out.

Totally agree, really looks the goods .

[DJ Higgins]

Can we play 4 qtrs? We can do this. Players are actually playing like a ram and few long bombs. After marks we are accessing options and kicking to the safest one. I'm liking it so far. Now if we don't drop off we are going down to the wire

[desertsaint]

just need to keep this pressure up and get cleaner with our use.
Acres 10 cps - excellent stuff, but wasting a fair bit.
Dunstan - what can i say? stepped up when no one else wanted it.
Loving White's game.
Weller bringing some much needed hardness, but needs to get more.
Hickey - is he back? Gives us so much more than Longer.
Paddy giving us something.
Only disappointments are Billings, Gilbert, and unfortunately Clark doesn't look ready.

[SaintPav]

Umpiring is completely f*cked.

[congorozides]

I think we are better off with Darragh Joyce than Gilbo.

[George27]

Sloppy start to second half. Come on, lads !

[congorozides]

Paddy has a strange technique of running under the ball and then throwing his arms straight up at the last second.

[MC Gusto]

Class getting the better of us now

[SaintPav]

Get rid of Geary and Gilbo.

Fkn useless

[Premium89]

Long getting under their skin... jeez he can hit hard

[mullet]

oh to kick straight

[Premium89]

In a strange way, it’s comforting to know that your most senior players are the weak link. Been a long time that has been the case for the Saints. Not sure it’s a good thing but at least means the future can only get better.

[Tom_Sainter]

Our goal kicking is an absolute disgrace, to kick like that with no breeze or conditions to deal with... the players should be ashamed of themselves.
Hickey has been really good, surely Longer cannot come back in again being such a liability out on the ground. If we kick straight in this last quarter we should win

[bigred]

Ffs kick a goal.

Missed chances killing us.

50 entries for 18 shots and we butcher it.

[Tom_Sainter]

Get rid of Geary and Gilbo.

Fkn useless

Agreed, however cannot drop a captain, imagine the PR after that. Problem is who is next in line for captaincy?? I cannot think of one worthy player

[desertsaint]

c'mon fellas - gotta be cleaner and smarter with our ball use. endeavour keeps the legs walking but clear heads show the way home.

[Sainter_Dad]

I was sure the saw on the screen at half time the frees were 12 to us - 8 to them - now I check AFL 16 to us - 17 to them - so that quarter 4 for us - 9 to them in a quarter that saw them back in the game - am I wrong???

Sinclair' s best game for the season by a considerable margin. Using it well and good tackling pressure.

[Jacks Back]

Not so good 3rd qtr but 1 qtr to go. Lift Saints! Come On!!

[saintfox]

Send gresh back to the twos need to find some form

[DJ Higgins]

Gws inaccuracy helps but we can do this. Not many long bombs today. Players have lifted. White and hickey are playing well. Gilbo having slipping issues. Come on saints
