Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 7 2020

[The Fireman]

Gresh must be told to handball.

[The Fireman]

anyone seen Billings?

[roskilde]

anyone seen Billings?

Very quiet. You think he's building towards something as he puts in a few good performances but then he's a no show again.

Hopefully he has a big second half.

[samuraisaint]

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.

Our midfielders need to kick more goals. If we can get loose in the third quarter we could see Hill and Billings get among the goals I think. Just a feeling I get - plenty of space at that ground.

[kosifantutti]

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.

He was running from behind and veered into the no go zone. There’s been some dodgy decisions against us but that wasn’t one of them.

[Jacks Back]

Membrey and Billings missing, Byrnes has had 2 touches as has Ryder. We need a full team effort.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Liking how we are going Marshall,Ryder need to lift as does Kent,Lonie & Members,get amongst it Saints!

[The Fireman]

I'm impressed with Jake tonight

Yep, they should be shown the replay of Jones lowering his eyes and putting it on King’s chest during the halftime break.

[saynta]

Beautiful handpass to Howard from Seb for Howard's first goal in red white and black.

[skeptic]

Haven’t seen much of Ross tonight either

Stats have him down as 3 kicks, 3 handballs

[The_Dud]

A lot have been quiet, luckily they have a whole half to turn it around.

I thought he went OK in the first quarter, some nice touches and applied pressure. Vanished in the 2nd.

[desertsaint]

shocking game but i'm enjoying all the mixed emotions. gresh missing sitters, lonie crashing and bashing for little effect, umpire lottery - playing worse than the teams, the adelaide 'ballllllll!' crowd, the crows are an awful team, the tension - but are still keeping it alive.
need someone to stamp their authority and wrap up the game - you know a dusty, danger, bont...king?
disappointing by byrnes.

[The Fireman]

Another shot from a umpire free in the middle.

Just blatant cheating.

this is some sort of sickness.

[fugazi]

Kent playing fine
Howard and Jones are leaders of this team

I felt for him because he was about to have a shot at goal and possibly going the first kick/goal club but was bumped and unsighted for a while after that

nice summation

[skeptic]

Billings has had 3 more kicks and an extra touch then Ross

[SaintPav]

We really are missing Ben Long.

[Cordz2]

What role is sub Ross playing tonight?

[Cordz2]

Obviously you can drop the ball while being tackled again. That was holding the ball on that steel tackle

[shrodes]

Loving Coff's intercept marks!

[Enrico_Misso]

A 5 metre pass paid as a mark!
