Saints v Roos Game Day Thread

[Linton Lodger]

Great that we focussed on skill development over the summer and it is greatly improved. However, it appears that was at the detriment of fitness. We ran out of legs halfway through the third!

A really poor result, given that we should've iced the game early in the third.

[Joffa Burns]

Thanks umpires great way to start the year.

Seriously Curly, you spoil the game day thread with your constant moaning about umpires.

FFS start your own thread on umpires or stop posting altogether please.
It's tiresome and ridiculous.

Brad Hill. GAME #1
VALUE: $1.34

Christ we could kept Newnes for the same output, less money.

I'm sure he will get better?

[The Fireman]

was really looking forward to this season...not sure why now.

[The_Dud]

1 goal in a half of football... and people pick on the AFLW!

[SaintPav]

Morons

[St Loxton]

May that never happen again. Horrible.

[Saintmatt]

Stop Hill’s run and you stop St Kilda. Still comfortably the worst midfield in the AFL - we will never improve with both Dunstan and Ross in the team. 1.5 to 6.6 after half time. Not much has really changed to be honest. Goldy dominated and we had no answer. Steele’s 2nd half on Cunnington should burn him for months. Atrocious ‘tagging’; ditto Ross on Polec.

[Laurie]

Some of our players just have no ticker .
I know it was only our first game for a this ,season and maybe our last but really nothing to get excited about.
Just fed up with rubbish football our players keep delivering..

His first half was the main reason we were in front. He got shut out the 2nd half; Steele and Ross let Cunnington and Polec do whatever the fvck they wanted

[CarlD]

Horrible kicking for goal cost the game.

[CURLY]

No reward for our domination of the first half saw some of the worst frees paid against us then ignored our way.

[samoht]

More poor skills and decision making, different coach.

The coach is/was never the problem.

??? so it was the Umps?
thank god for that,, here I was thinking we were out coached.

[mr six o'clock]

Exactly
As it has cost us many games over the last five years
We are a effing joke.
1.5 in the second half
2.4 and we would have won.

[CURLY]

Goldsteins ruck technique is just wrong how he didn’t concede 20 frees shows the bias of umpires.

[George27]

Well that was very disappointing.

For what it is worth , I thought Wilkie did an excellent job on Larkey all day. One of our few four quarter contributors.

I'm with Joff..the mods need to have good look at your posts.

Dominated for a half yet consistently had umpires ignore clear frees our way especially in our forward 50. Also allowing Goldstein to clearly shove his opponent in the back and ruck unnuposed.

[saint6709]

Can’t remember being more disappointed about a game - would have to go back 10 yrs to the GFs - malignant sh1tstorm

[Linton Lodger]

The most frustrating thing was that our first half was superb.

[shanegrambeau]

So what is the conclusion?
1) Lack of match fitness
2) In Carlisle Out Kent ?

And train Duntsan how to kick accurately

Been saying it for years. He constantly ruins threads with his cluelessness, but the mods are happy to let it carry on.

Create a ‘sooking about umpires match thread’ and let all who want to do that go there and leave the rest of us talk about the actual footy!

Kent and both can’t play. Kent burns quality leads no idea what he’s waiting for before he kicks. Lonie just does dumb things misses handballs fumbles balls burns leads.

[Scollop]

Typical North supporter base...empty seats everywhere

And what about BigMart? What is his excuse for not attending?

Oh that’s right.... Saints players also practicing social distancing after half time
