Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos at Boot Hill Round 1 2019

[Kate]

please dont blame the umpires. We arent in this game. If they arent going to try either am I

No one's blaming the umpires, but that doesn't mean that they weren't plucked directly from the North Melbourne cheersquad.

[The_President]

Seb Ross is scared of contact

[desertsaint]

i reckon we're up against it a bit.

[Devilhead]

Anderson stone cold dropped the ball then in the centre and nothing - smack BANG in front of the umpire

[The Fireman]

is it too early to call a 50 point loss ? oh well I'm calling it anyway.

Only 50!?!?

you're right....100 pts don't know whether to laugh or cry

[Saintmatt]

is it too early to call a 50 point loss ? oh well I'm calling it anyway.

Definitely not too early

Why not...they were completely s*** for the first 20 minutes, now look at the score. f***ed over

What a joke.

Yeah it’s the umps fault our blokes look slow, that North are just running right around them, putting in zero effort, and kicking 1 goal to 7.

What a cop out.

[Jacks Back]

6 to 1 free kicks already with several missed our way and soft ones their way

...and now they've got a run on, the floodgates open.

Still don't know why people think Acres is a mid too, only runs one way, looks asleep

You can’t see the rest are also asleep?

[StPeter]

Umpire Foot (number2) does it again. I have lost count of the number of games he has crucified us in. He personally awarded 7 frees against us in the first quarter and gifted them 3 goals. He has yet to give us a free of course.

[Saintly66]

Me too watching Melb v Carl. I never watch another game ... but watching the Saints now is so embarrassing!

How was the last minute of the Melbourne Carlton game lol, beats watching this crap

[1966]

This is embarrassing.
So many broken tackles and skill level is disgusting.
Seb Ross cannot remains captain but sadly not sure who takes over.
Players who have been around for 5 years now such as Acres, Dunstan, McKenzie, Billings, Newnes have no leadership qualities at all.

[Ape_Man]

68 possessions for the quarter to 108.

That has to be a record low, I can’t be bothered looking it up so I will just believe it.

[B.M]

Will be well over 100. Battle is a player we can I’ll afford to lose.

Carlisle massive flog and overrated, he’s ok when he can play on his own in the backline, but he’s a defender who doesn’t defend, and he is like the queen mary.

Membrey competing with Tarrant, there’s the issue with our front half, a number three forward playing as a number one.

Midfield getting another lesson, not sure Dunstan or Acres have had an effective disposal

[Bruce G McAbee]

The only one f ing us over is ourselves.
As I said I am not attending another game that Richardson coaches.
Yes he isn't the only problem, it goes deeper than just that and there has to be a major shake up of the club in all levels before we can go forward.

Thanks troll

[Devilhead]

Gresham 1 possession Acres 2 Steele 2 Parker 0 Hind 0 Carlisle 0 Dunstan 4 Ross 4

North have 15 players against our 4 with more or the same number of possessions

[Laurie]

Absolute rubbish dont blame the umpires our players at best are local footy standard.
The broom needs to come out and a good clean up needs to happen starting at the top.Finnis Lethlean and Co.

[Ape_Man]

I am perfectly able to be angry at the team and the umpires at the same time.

Is that a superpower?

[The_Dud]

Seb just blatantly grabs the North players arm right in front of goal and you sooks complain it’s the umpires fault

[Enrico_Misso]

Another soft p##fter free in the goalsquare!

[1966]

What has happened to Ross?
He is a liability.

[Jacks Back]

How can we get Scott as coach when North were a rabble under him

[desertsaint]

well i'm not celebrating yet. a suns 2018 type comeback could always happen and keep richo in his seat another couple of weeks.

10-3 four goals from frees. Umpire 2 blatantly cheated then tries to play the tough guy and pins Carlisle.

Except no-one said that...any chance you can watch the footy and formulate an opinion on something other than umpiring?
