Match Thread Saints vs Hawks

[SemperFidelis]

Christ. I don’t need the stress. What’s wrong with Coff? Fingers crossed he just rolled it.

[Trev from the Bush]

A win is a win

I would expect a little more than scraping passed rubbish teams like Hawthorn, Essendon and the Suns

But you would expect us to win comfortably against Port Adelaide and Richmond, eh Did? And we should have belted the Lions.

[Kate]

A 2 goal win against a sh*t team missing half their best players coming off a 5 day break...

I hope the boys sing the song hard...

Boo Hoo Hoo

[The Peanut]

Never in doubt

Why would you expect more, the Saints aren't a good team.

[Trev from the Bush]

The damage is done, whether we win or lose is irrelevant, the last few weeks have shown our season is well and truly over.

What does it matter Did? Even if we win the flag Andrews' will have us arrested if we try to celebrate

We could just go with the Libs plan of sacrificing old people?

Say Hello to Joe while you are in his cellar.

[shanegrambeau]

Congrats to 200 games, Geary and team.

Other than that,
Boy, Hawthorn at their lowest - Seven changes and down to two rotations, but We did it.

Sainters!

Hope Coffs ankle is Ok.

We looked pretty good the first half of the year. Raising expectations was probably a bad move.

i disagree. We are better than what we saw today. need to stop the long bombs and kick straighter but yes, if we make finals this year we are only making up numbers

[Impatient Sainter]

JUST 5/10.

Far too many players out of form to be competitive leading into a period when we should be playing our best footy. Forward entries still a concern, with too many intercept marks.

[Winmar]

It's nice to have a win in September

Lol. Richmond was a lifetime ago, and Port feels like it the way we’ve been playing. I question exactly how much we’ve improved.!Hawks are utter rubbish with half a team. We didn’t pick a marquee recruit because he has a s*** attitude. Our form last 5 games indicates we’re well and truly tracking as a bottom 6 team currently

[samuraisaint]

Carlisle, Membrey, King, and Dunston straight back in for the Eagles.

At least we live to fight another day.

And we've probably sealed our finals tickets today, I think.

Don't feel too bad - as I posted yesterday any team that has multiple premiership players like Breust, Shiels, Gunstan, and Frawley, and veterans like Scully and Wingard (6 200 game players) - was going to be tough to beat. We didn't beat the Box Hill Hawks today, we beat Hawthorn.

And at least we did beat them.

Nine wins for the season - we've already equaled our wins from last year in a shortened season. And our percentage is a hell of a lot better.

[fugazi]

Awful game...can only hope that is the ugly win which leads us back towards some form

That was a long time ago.

I’d love to see that level of effort again, wouldn’t you?

Nice positive outlook. I don't think we will see Marsh play many more games based on today and I didn't release Abbott was playing until his goal so there is plenty o better players coming back in

Probably have to win one more...

I think I’ve been saying that after every game the last month...

[bigred]

First win in September in some years.

Got it done. Should have got it done last week.

Good teams don't drop games like that.

Come out and smash West Coast on Thursday.

So you should be arrested if not wearing a mask or mob protesting and should be jailed if organising a protest in a pandemic.....FFS its worse than drink driving you f***** goose Do you want to be like south america - idiots in our world
I'm sick of lockdown but it will not improve if these idiots don't do the right thing

[terry smith rules]

Lonie seals it.

Feel free to pile onto him (not that you need my encouragement) but he is a ver smart footballer. If his team mates were as smart as him he would be even better and we would be a better team.

I think Brad Johnson who may know something about forward play said something very similar.

He should hold his spot easily

[SaintPav]

Only the second time we have beaten them in 11 seasons.

[bigcarl]

(You) should be jailed if organising a protest in a pandemic.....FFS its worse than drink driving

Our esteemed dictator had a chance to nip that in the bud with BLM. But he allowed it and left himself in a compromised position.

[SaintPav]

Mollison you turd. Bounces it wonky, then pays a shepherd.

It wasn't a free. Cost us 0.7%
