Long throw which must be returned on the full.
It needed the elevation to make the distance.

Perhaps the umpire will demonstrate during the week how good he is at throwing the ball 25 metres to a target ON THE FULL!

I'm pro Saints unlike other pretenders on here so you won't get an argument from me.

Coffield & Clark off & through half back is like having two elite defensive mids, both with size.

Love the way we have the confidence to run in waves ahead of the ball.

I appreciate Gerard Healy is very excited about the Saints, but a word of warning - they have had 5 shots to our 4 in this quarter , for 0.5 to 4.0. Loving it, but not over just yet .

I think he's kicking across his body still. Send him back to the 2s so he can learn to kick.

Did you see happy Ryder was for King when he marked that? He's bought in, he's loving being a Saint & the opportunity presenting itself.

As good as Butler's goal was the passage of play that bought it about was as good as anything I've seen this season. Sensational run out of defence and teamwork.

1/2 time
Saints 7.4.46 v Swans 3.6.24

A lot of effort for not much result in the second half of that qtr

Umpires are a joke.

Swan player dives on the ball Butler tackles fairly umpires stands watching he waits he waits then rather than ball pays high contact.

Cheating gave the Swans there second goal but that was even more blatant.

50M for the extra 0.2 sec it took for the slightly steeper parabola.

Two of their 3 goals were a result of gifted free kicks.

The second half of the qtr we had the ball stuck in our forward line and didn't score. The first half of that qtr was saintsational.
