Match Thread Saints v Kangaroos at Boot Hill Round 1 2019

[The Fireman]

Newnes can play...where tf has he been ? Good fight back from the boys but cheap frees are killing us.

Well we will lose this but at least they showed a bit...under a good coach this side will lift next year.

[Kate]

10 Tackles to half time isn't a bad effort for Mr. Steele.

[B.M]

Seb has won an AFL best and fairest and has been runner up twice, so a C grader he is not.

I know he’s now a whipping boy now, but anyone would think he’s the worse player in the AFL the way some carry on.

As for why he’s quite, if you watch closely, he’s been taken out of the middle and put on the wing, but is folding back to help an undermanned defense. The ball spent 70% of time in STKs front half so he wasn’t around the footy much

[Cordz2]

JackSteele 9 tackles for the half. Great work.

[Viscount Jeremiah]

Margin should be at least 2 goals less given the two Carlisle free's

[derby Street]

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.

I know the filth got rolled - but suppose you feel the need to keep having a crack at the saints.

[B.M]

All of Steele’s tackles at stoppage against their target, Cunnington. He might break a record today. Be nice if he could offer a bit offensively

[Enrico_Misso]

How was Bruce's big leap an unrealistic attempt?
Had he got a slightly longer ride he would have taken it.

But he was 100% intent on trying to mark it.
Another ridiculous free.

[shrodes]

Great goal by Prospect!

If you jump into someone's back, you must touch the ball, regardless of intent. They pay that 100% of the time.

[degruch]

Amazing what happens when Goldstein doesn't get a free in a contest

Amazing what happens when you hit targets and get one-on-one contests

[Ape_Man]

BS against Clark then.

[The_Dud]

Again, Wilkie blatantly holding Brown right in front of the umpire, but the sooks will still sook

Looked 50-50 to me. Would be play on more often than not, but Wilkie didn’t have to do it.

Probably a two goal advantage to North thanks to the umps. The rest is just a reflection of how poor we are in so many areas. Effort better in Q2 but the midfielders other than Dunstan have let us down.

But why even grab him in the first place, that’s the problem.

Defenders have to be craftier than that.

[CURLY]

Foote10-0 Norths way.

Umpire if you let Ziebell and Cunnington charge at packs packs and swing there arms eventually they will get taken high or in the back.

[The_Dud]

And again, Parker gives away obvious dumb 50.

Here come the sooks...

[CURLY]

Membury pushed straight in the back no free.

[The_Dud]

And Bruce gets paid a free.

It’s almost like the umps just pay what they see, regardless of team.

[CURLY]

And again, Parker gives away obvious dumb 50.

Here come the sooks...

It was 50 then they ignore North infringe in the middle.

[Enrico_Misso]

Free to Bruuuuuce.

Oh, it's OK -he's 70 metres out!

[CURLY]

And Bruce gets paid a free.

It’s almost like the umps just pay what they see, regardless of team.

80 meters out how bold.

[saintkid]

And again, Parker gives away obvious dumb 50.

Here come the sooks...

Parker is a dumb footballer and his general play is very average.

[1966]

15 points down with momentum and Parker does that.
Have to feel for Richie there.
Can’t blame him for player stupidity.
Just so dumb.

You mustn't have noticed the armchair ride Goldys been getting all day.
