Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 7 2020

[asiu]

battle is gone for the night

[skeptic]

Who sat down and said... geez our game needs more soft 50m penalties from incidents that don’t effect play

[CURLY]

Another goal from umpires. That’s 3 out of 4.

[samuraisaint]

This is where we need to keep to keep going.

Even if there needs to be a rotation off the bench for extra leg speed we need to put 'em to the sword.

[CURLY]

Another shot from a umpire free in the middle.

Just blatant cheating.

[Enrico_Misso]

Was Hill having any impact on the mark?

[bigred]

This game is f****** horrendous

[BigD]

Off the hook there.

[shrodes]

Another goal from umpires. That’s 3 out of 4.

Goal from Brad Hill more like

[bigcarl]

That was Gresham-like

[The_Dud]

Seriously on what planet is that a bloody free kick?

What was Battle trying to do other than block Tex?

He was a defender engaged in a physical contest with an attacker. It's called football and it happens quite a lot.

Sorry Dud. You cannot justify that. Battle was not impeding other than going legitimately into the contest. If that's a block then all the defenders might as all pack up and go home.

If you want to sell it, you have to at least look at the ball.

[Otiman]

Umpiring is shocking both ways, just let them play.

[samuraisaint]

Free kick goals won't keep coming if we don't stop.

We need to get the next one. No consecutive goals now.

Stating the obvious to say that we must get the first goal of the third quarter.

[Jacks Back]

1/2 time
Saints 7.4.46 v Crows 4.2.26

[skeptic]

Was Hill having any impact on the mark?

It’s a cancer that’s swept through the game gradually over years...
It started with incidental contact in marking contests and turned into this

30min of play for a return of 24 free kicks... almost one a minute

[sunsaint]

Wondering why Hill on making a non-mistake didn't carry on and whinge to the umpires

[saintbob]

Frees

Crows 13/7 + 3 goals

[perfectionist]

Another goal from umpires. That’s 3 out of 4.

Goal from Brad Hill more like

No, it was that idiot Lonie. Fumbled a simple chest mark.

[mullet]

More frees in a half than in the whole derby game

[bigcarl]

Frees

Crows 13/7 + 3 goals

Yep, that’s the reality of playing before a parochial crowd. Not surprised at all.

[The_Dud]

I don’t care if a goal fell in his lap in the goal square, Gresh has to be dropped and only come back once he can kick a set shot from 30m out.

[saynta]

Half time. Crowlice 4 goals in total. 2 from very dodgy free kicks and 1 from a dropped Lonie sitter followed by a 50 metre penalty which was there unfortunately. Thanks a lot maggots.

[CURLY]

Another goal from umpires. That’s 3 out of 4.

Goal from Brad Hill more like

He can’t evaporate into thin air. Watched Collingwood v Geelong umpire allowed a wave of Collingwood players to move through.

[shrodes]

I think we are overreliant on the forward line bombs and hoping King / Membrey can outmark 2/3 opponents or have the ball fall in the lap of crumbers. Need to be smarter delivering it in there.

[CURLY]

I don’t care if a goal fell in his lap in the goal square, Gresh has to be dropped and only come back once he can kick a set shot from 30m out.

Lonie has to go first. Adds nothing.
