Match Thread Saints v Bummers Round 2 2019

[Crossy66]

If you’re satisfied with just beating a team that played some of the worst football I’ve ever seen for most of the game, that’s fine.

I’d rather see us kicking 16.10 and not 10.16. Not butchering the ball bombing inside 50. Not kicking it out of defensive 50 with no system whatsoever.

I’m happy with the win, not ecstatic.

Did love Bruce’s mark and goal tho

If you are anything other than a fat old turd sitting at home living vicariously through other people, that attitude would make sense.

But you're not. So it doesn't.

I’m not sure if you’re calling me a ‘fat old turd’ or not

Its hard to tell. My guess is Rodger may have had enough of opposition supporters masquerading as Saints supporters and posting rubbish on the SS forum. Just a guess though.

Oh, ok then. That would be annoying. Does this mean you’re not coming back?

We win - we are 2-0 but another thread derailed - yep that Saintsational!

Indeed, I wish people would stick to talking about the Saints and football

Be sure to watch this to the end.

Oh. I have tears!!!

Absolutely fantastic to see Cuz playing such an important role with him.

Maybe, just maybe, we’re getting this on the right track.

[fugazi]

Fantastic win by the boys. Great ticker not to let the Bombers back in.
Looks like they have found their Mojo!

[BigDazzaB]

How great was our captain. Fn legend.

What about Parker’s hit on McGrath?!

Also, loved the way he played on and kicked that goal.

The kid is going to cause a few headaches for opposition backlines.

[Sainter_Dad]

Any sad sacks out there - would you rather be a St Kilda supporter or Melbourne this week?

I feel blessed to have had the privilege of watching Nicky Winmar ply his craft in the red, white & black. Love it that Cuz is actively involved again.

As mentioned in the laughing stock thread, I love to see the Dees go off the rails! Enjoy it

It had a bit of the Byron Pickett or Rod Keogh about it, didn't it?
There'll be plenty of opposition players looking over their shoulders every time they play us now.

[samuraisaint]

Against the odds we got home!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an uninspiring 2-0 start to a season tho

You sound disappointed - why am I not surprised? I am pleased for the win and not a 5 goal loss like you stated.

I’d rather see us playing good footy and improving on last year. At this point winning or losing is irrelevant.

Unbelievable. Don't worry we'll lose one in due course, just be patient.

There's truth in what you say Dudmeister, but to be honest, I was just rapt we beat Essendon in front of their home crowd - and I always felt we kept them at arm's length for the duration of the game. We made some mistakes during the game sure, like the player who decided to run for a touchdown and others continually kicking the ball straight to Aaron Francis, but the endeavour was there, and we are missing a few of our regular 22 and some very handy players.
I knew we were a chance today and it was great to win, but it would have been nice to convert, that's for sure. However, for today only, I think I enjoyed the game better knowing that we were able to beat them reasonably comfortably without playing anywhere near our best.
I think we're a big, big chance to make it three in a row next week too. Today will have built some belief - but the forwards need extra coaching and development because they are just not taking their chances at the moment, and they will need to do that next week to beat a Western Australian side in Perth.

does anyone have the stats on how many times we kick to the opposition ?

Not sure about kicks specifically but today was 73 turnovers vs. Bombers 76.

Last week we had 78 vs. GC 80.

The better teams seem to have around 60 on average, so a bit of work to do there still.

18 less turnovers could certainly be the difference between winning and losing.

Does Elvis have an official mentoring role?
Or do they just know eaxpch other from Sth Freo?

[samuraisaint]

A fair indicator would be to find out how many disposals Aaron Francis had, because we were kicking to him all day.

Last week at around this time I backed the Saints at $4.95. Odds have come in to around $3.00.

I thought $4.95 was generous and couldn't resist even though I am not confident of a win.

Got yourself a nice dinner, Peter!

[minneapolis]

Credit where it’s due to Richo, but this didn’t work.

Have a close look.

There's nothing in the box but $500 cash in the palm of his right hand!

[minneapolis]

Well done saints!
Got back from exploring Seoul to enjoy our last quarter.

Like the Bombers this week.. An afternoon of Seoul searching?
