Rd 1 Saints v Suns - match thread

[Trev from the Bush]

Luke Dunstan take a bow.

[shadrock]

Really disappointed in Long... Three or four plays that were really unsportsmanlike. Guy seems to just want to fight. Lucky not to give away a free late for that high tackle.

A win is a win.

[GilsAuPair]

Man I thought Burgess was going to hold on to that hanger. He was that high up.

[portosaint]

But our JLT form was good, right?

[CURLY]

Thanks umps

Yeah thanks for making it close when we would have won by plenty. No idea how they end up with 10+ in a one point game.

Because we gave away more free kicks than them.

[Premium89]

Pheeeeeew!!!

[DJ Higgins]

Stop blaming the umpirest calls were crap both ways. We got the four points so enjoy the victor. Based on today it's going to be a while before we sing the song after the game

Long kept GC in it with that reversal in the second quarter

Very ordinary win against the worst side in the league with a couple injured

Good to win, but bloody hell, hard to watch

[terry smith rules]

F#$k Lonie

Wow 22 possessions not enough for you

Easily keeps his position

I love his work up and down the ground

You need to actually watch the game

[CURLY]

Second team to win this round starting as favourite.

[shanegrambeau]

St Kilda's match efficiency = 400%

One point game margin converted to 4 premiership points.

No one can touch us.

Nobody will.

[terry smith rules]

How good was the Josh Bruce “Leo Barry” mark

[Bruce G McAbee]

We won, but nothing to get excited about in regards to the season.

[The_President]

Couple of the questionable selections provided next to nothing.

Pierce looks really slow and didn’t do much in the ruck
Dunstan didn’t do much all day - but credit for the attack on the ball at the end.
McKenzie was also pretty useless.

[derby Street]

Umpires have kept GC in the game blatant cheating that is obvious.

Wrong.

Umpiring has been fine.

Rubbish don't know how you can say that

Swings and roundabouts.

I’d rather talk about footy than whinge about umpiring.

Not much difference on the whinge factor - 23 of your last 25 posts were whinges about the saints. If I went back weeks it would still run at 90% anti saints. You must hate them.

Every win is a good win. 3 on the trot. Need to play much better throughout the year though.

I think we lost in Rd 23 v North?

Or are we counting JLT now?

You certainly weren't watching the game I was.

Inept, inconsistant and incompetent.
Their patheticness costs us numerous goals.

[tedtheodorelogan2018]

2019 only. 3 on the trot. Saints are going ok. Good work Al and Ratta.

[SaintPav]

Very uninspiring stuff.

We are really going to get monstered by the better teams.

If we win, enjoy it as they will are going to be few and far between.

Wow thanks for the heads up. We should all just slash our wrists now hey?

No problem at all but you can thank everyone else who said the exact same thing.

Now, yourself out...

4 if you include the Intraclub win.

[Crossy66]

Good to win, but sloppy by both teams.
Stuv and dmac will be better for the run.
Brown back next week will be huge.
I think, lewy, kent, joyce will be nervous this week. Battle needs to go forward.
Marshall brown and acres and clark in next week will make a massive difference

3 on the trot..
You are kidding...

You could judge it that way

I tend to think it's more just complete gut renching frustration
