Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 13 2020

[Winmore]

Had a go, weren’t good enough. Some of the senior players aren’t good enough to be there next time we will be good enough, simple as that.

[The_Dud]

What's the point of King - Can't mark and when he does he can't kick a f****** goal - Stop getting McCartin to teach him.

He's a fantastic kick for goal but it wasn't his day.

I seem to remember another #12 for our team having an awful problem kicking for goal at one stage.

I don’t think we can complain too much about bad goal kicking today.

[Teflon]

Can’t show up in last qtr and decide to play
Let’s face it if they kick straight we were heading for a hiding
Carrying Billing’s all day , Carlyle unable to effect body on body spoil bombs away into forward 50
We didn’t deserve to win it
6-8 side is realistic for us imo

I think he’s had the yips for a few weeks now - from 30m or so.

[Hawkesbury Saint]

Absolute joke umpiring. How can we be so close with so few players contributing?

[CURLY]

Berry just dives on ball.

Mate we couldn’t buy a tackling free. Just blatant double standards.

[saintbob]

Very frustrating to watch, but we shouldn’t really have been anywhere near them but we hung in and made them earn it.

Yep he's doing the guiding thing and trying to nurse it through. All mental.

[Saintmatt]

Big big game next week, if we lose I think finals are in trouble

Thought the same thing. That would’ve been a welcome and needed robbery. Now we’re in the gun at the 4-8 part of the 8

[SaintPav]

Berry just dives on ball.

Mate we couldn’t buy a tackling free. Just blatant double standards.

Notice how Rayner takes possession then just drops the ball when tackled.

Wtf is that?

[Devilhead]

Fought it out and almost committed daylight robbery. We need more class in the middle.

Yes another 2 gun mids please

Lucky they didn't kick straight early however we had some great sights on goal early and did not take them as well

Unfortunately we could not get a clear shot on goal at the end there

Nice that we never gave up which is a huge positive to take out of the game

[kosifantutti]

Membrey’s double “save” on the goal line in the first quarter and the siren going just before he marked 30m out in the third came back to haunt us.

[Teflon]

Absolute joke umpiring. How can we be so close with so few players contributing?

Easy they missed so many gettable goals
Let’s be real we weren’t in the game cause we matched them all day we were in the game cause that Hipworth is absolute rubbish in front of goal

[fugazi]

Billings looked tired last few weeks ....needs a break

Totally agree re 2 gun mids
Gotta give to get Carlyle , Billing’s up for grabs for mine
Let’s get serious we need A grade quality can’t keep carrying downhill skiers

[IluvHarvey]

They should have put us away by half time.
Our third quarters continue to be a huge concern.
We seem to go to water when a good side puts pressure on us, hopefully something we can turn around.

Rest him up hope he plays a blinder leading finals up the trade value get a gun mid

Yep good sides who pressure us and we fold a bit..

[shadrock]

Zac Jones when it matters = whiffed a goal in front from pretty close to win it and kicked it out on the full. Not good enough.

Had a big 4th quarter though.

Scored a point after getting a shove just before he shot. Brilliant play to create the chance and a brilliant game overall.

[saintbob]

Hill and Geary shouldn’t get a game if our selectors are fair dinkum.
Geary has been a warrior but his time is coming fast.
I’d love to transplant his heart and soul into Hill, as he is definitely lacking both.

[fugazi]

Coffield is about to go bananas ...last few weeks he has worked out that he belongs....he is fast strong and bloody good...
