Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos at Boot Hill Round 1 2019

[axcellence]

I am still overseas and will come back in around 10 days... so I get to avoid this game and the Geelong game.

Thank god for small mercies.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Why would Goldstein want to come to us?

[Newman]

Let's face it ... after round 16 on form - there are only 2 pathetic teams playing in comp at present ... Saints and Suns - Carlton showing plenty ... Melb better than us. And I don't know how the hell Kangaroos got so fired up

[The_Dud]

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

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.

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

Our dumb players are giving away dumb free kicks in front of goal.

You have no idea what Carlisle said, so how can u even comment.

We need L Fisher back, who blatantly cheats in our favour it has been widely acknowledged.

Josh Bruce well done. Bloody hell Saints have a go.

[shrodes]

Fair play to Newnes, back in the side and he's one of the few actually having a dip

[Bruce G McAbee]

Newnes is our best player so far.

Why would Goldstein want to come to us?

he heard we pay big bucks for old injury riddled warhorses?

[The_Dud]

A head coach with a bit of guts would drop Seb.

[CURLY]

Had to pay that mark to Bruce FFS then Parker has his legs taken out no free. Cheating flog.

I think $4M would get it done

[Bruce G McAbee]

Well done Hind.

What ever he said the umpire should have sucked up after his horrendous mistake. The blokes a cheat.

Why didn’t Hunter Clarke protect himself then and turn into the contact?

That is junior stuff

Protect yourself and the other player gets the ball and bounces off you with the ball and keeps running. You’re the junior.

[CURLY]

Hang on ump the ball went into Norths forward line pay them a free.

[Newman]

Credit - where credit due ... proud of our efforts in last 15 mins. Play that way for rest of game ... and lose ... won't be so angry or upset

[Cordz2]

Well fought back sainters - show some pride!

[CURLY]

Bruce pleading for a free as Thompson has a huge handful of jumper as he leads. You can’t miss that after what they’ve paid Norths way.

[CURLY]

There you go goal 5 from frees. f***** biased cheats.

[Ape_Man]

I don’t care what some people think.

The score difference now is directly attributable to the umpires.

No, and now that we have a contest, the one-sided umpiring in the first quarter could be the difference.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Bruce's best game for a couple of years.

[The_Dud]

Bruce on fire
