Match Thread Maddie's Match Saints v Tigers 2019

[terry smith rules]

Clark no prior gets pinned goal to Choal. Never change umpires.

Appalling where’s the in the back. Also given that Cotchin just threw it away a minute earlier

[shrodes]

Haven't had more goals than behinds since round 6!

[Living the dream]

Loving the accurate kicking, the tackling, the composure so far.

[St Loxton]

Need a time out.

[Scollop]

Softness creeping in for the last five minutes

Going in at half time in front but must continue to win contests if we are going to win

[Devilhead]

We are so friggin static our ball movement is treacle slow - just inviting them back into it

[st.byron]

compared to normal goalkicking and general kicking efficiency way up

really sh.ts me how a kick up the bum seems to create this

the modern players are f in the head.....

How long does it last??

It’s the coach’s job to develop a culture where they consistently deliver their best efforts. This is leadership and it’s sadly lacking at St. Kilda.

[Devilhead]

And we are getting a hiding at centre bounces - ugly to watch

[Bruce G McAbee]

I am a lot happier with how we are playing, but, umpires, please learn what constitutes a legal handball, it seems the rule doesn't apply to Richmond.

[shrodes]

Clark and Coffield, gotta get more games into these young blokes, see what they can do when they're used to AFL level.

[Trixilver]

Gresham needs to go forward. He's good in the midfield but his talent is wasted imo.

[Living the dream]

Reading these comments you would think we were getting belted.

[st.byron]

Exactly.

[bigcarl]

Being reamed by the umps

[st.byron]

Oh ffs stop whinging everyone about the umpires. Jaysus....

[st.byron]

Oh wait you’re right....the reason we are generally shyte and most of our losses are due to the umpiring. Cue Curly....

[St Loxton]

Yeah nice to win the half. Well done boys, pressure was good. Kicking was excellent, movement better.
But that effort again won't win this game.
The Tigers are just warming up and linking with fluidity. We are in big danger if we don't double our effort.
Nice work Hunter also.

[axcellence]

Really happy with Marshall, Parker and Hind. Clark did well but got caught. Still encouraging.

Fittest team my a.... Though. All Richmond goals in the 2nd half of the quarters.

[bigcarl]

Oh ffs stop whinging everyone about the umpires. Jaysus....

Maggots

Midfield getting belted, Ross, Dunstan, Hanners all well down on output

[The Fireman]

anyone notice the free against Marshall in the marking contest against Chol ? WTF ???

[DJ Higgins]

Still in this. Anyone else noticed our long bombs into 50 are way down this week. Not saying there are any but it's not option one. I like it
Need more leads from free kicks as per usual but definitely better

[George27]

Very frustrating now. We dominate possession, do not score, and they get us on the break

[kosifantutti]

Martin can hold it as long as he likes and just drop the ball. Play on.

[Devilhead]

How long can Dusty hold the ball in a tackle and then illegally dispose of it - maddening
