Match Thread Saints v Bombers Round 12 2020

[roskilde]

Don't you love to see that?

Billings with that silky left foot finds young King on the run and he goes back and nails it from 50.

Highlight of the night for me.

(Should have had about 6 but it's OK any week now he's gonna have that big, break out game.)

[Secret Kiel]

Bruce says about Hunter after Hunter takes a contested mark at fullback; “We haven’t called his name much BT...although...he’s had 17 touches...gee! (shock)”

In other words....we better pay some fuckn attention and do our fuckn job and have another look at the jumper numbers and commentate and call out the right player! Dickkheads

Someone has clearly turned the sound up and you haven't noticed.

Well...sometimes I get overruled by the majority. If it it was my choice I wouldn’t be listening to these cokesmokers

I know right, you learn more I've been told.

Never seen a more pedantic application of the 15m rule in a game of footy.

And the rule interpretation of the week is........

The holding the ball rule has certainly changed again!

No problemo with the laziness. Big couple of games coming up. Id rather a dull small win here and be fit for the next games than thrash them and burn our legs.

[Enrico_Misso]

Since half time the margin hasn't changed!

[Trev from the Bush]

Geary has to go....time is up
He can assistant coach for all I care, but does not warrant a spot

Yep, there are better options than him.

13 disposals so far, been good.

One crook kick and the pile-on starts. Again.

[shrodes]

The most ehhhhhhh 6 goal win ever, but a win nonetheless

Absolutely. Very smart play by the coach.

[desertsaint]

That'll do pig, that'll do.

[Winmore]

A poor second half, too reactive.

[Enrico_Misso]

Seven day break till a really really BIG game against the Lions

[The_Dud]

41 points up half way through the 2nd, then we just splutter along to a 35 point win against a trash team coming off a 4 day break.

The last 2-3 weeks have been rather uninspiring.

Was confident of beating them 2 weeks ago, not so anymore.

Will have to put in a much better performance than the last 2 weeks.

Did you watch the game?

[cwrcyn]

Our midfield is still our achilles heel. Essendon's mids ran rings around us in that second half. We need more class in there and it's not coming from within the playing list, so we need to go and get one from somewhere else.

As we have seen many times before....time catches up with players.
If as in our captains case, you don't have great skills, you can't even fall back on that, you quickly become surplus to needs

Our backline is capable of beating their forward line, if we beat their midfield we win.

[Devilhead]

Disappointing 2nd half but take a 6 goal win

One more win and definitely 2 should guarantee finals

Top 4 is looking less likely though - will probably need to win 4 out of our last 5 for that

I dunno, there were quite a lot of clear hitout wins that just didn't quite come off that would have made a huge difference. I think we missed Gresh on the dash into the centre for those failed clearences, just lining up the ball

Which is not to say we don't have deficiencies there, but I don't think we were that comprehensively beaten

Is that a given? Have you been underwritten by johnycomelately...you’know...is your prediction guaranteed!

[cwrcyn]

Every week the opposition's top four midfield possession winners collect at least 20 more possessions than our top four midfield possession winners.

[The_Dud]

Our ball movement and delivery into the forward line in the first 1.5 quarters was great, totally changed and turned to trash after that.
