Match Thread Saints v Tigers Semi Final 2020

[SaintDippa]

Cotchin will be sweating. The strangle move on Jones had all the potential for injury. At least one week.

[Premium89]

Opposite of earlier this year - they can’t miss, we can’t buy a goal...
They’ve just taken our game away from us completely.

[meher baba]

Looks like Battle wasn’t ready after all and they’ve taken a gamble that hasn’t come off

I can respect that

He started well enough

He never looked right. Probably a mistake, but an understandable one.

[Impatient Sainter]

I cant belleve how incompetent our midfield look. We are completely stationary while Richmond swarm in numbers. I dont mind losing Saints, but we have been made to look like clowns.

[bigcarl]

Nine scoring shots to 10. Our forward structure is badly lacking, but I'm not sure what Ratts can do. Battle is off, so it takes that off the table.

[saintkid]

There was clear daylight between the fist and the f009965 ball!!!!

Tell me now there is no bias in this joke of a competition? What a farce! Calling it a goal would likely not make a difference to the result but do the damn right thing you idiots! Disgraceful to call that a touched point.

You'd like to think so, but I doubt it.

[Hawkesbury Saint]

I like having a Captain we can be proud of. Cotchin is contemptible.

How about Clark into the middle. That's the obvious move, though the game is all but gone. We are kicking points and they cannot miss

Lack of depth, that must be why they took the gamble.

[Kate]

Would be issue if we lost by less than a goal. Can you see that happening ? Thought so. Chill.

Stupid comment of the decade.

[Premium89]

Yeah it was all over the minute Bruce said skidmarks

Quote of the night

[Rocket]

Zero gone our way. All week and continued into game ...

- they have snapped goals off a step
- won every kick anywhere out of a contest
- luck of goals umpires
- 9 goals 1
- our 3 goals 5

King miss was vital. We had all the play in first 5-7 minutes. Kicked 3 points. Not good enough.

That arsehole will get nothing

[1965 Saint]

Richmond are better tonight. They don’t need a hand up from the umpires as well!!!

[bergsone]

Getting killed midfield,need a massive lift there,a few free kicks for a change and a few of those lucky bounces that the tigers are getting

[thecrevis]

Would be issue if we lost by less than a goal. Can you see that happening ? Thought so. Chill.

Yeah fair point but on top of everything else, nothing going our way. Getting absolutely smashed by a much better team at the top of their game. So many players not pulling their weight.

[Teflon]

Kent takes the advantage and kicks it into the man

Yep saw that he’s useless
But let’s face facts our midfield are deplorable
Can’t even scrounge a clearance without turning it over
We are B grade in there and we’ve neglected it for years
You pay a price against class
Jones has been ordinary but not alone Hannerbury awol

Nah doesn’t play for us ....clear to play for next 5 yrs no worries.......even throw lynch as a 2 for one deal

[CQ SAINT]

Head high sling tackle, surely that's a week.

[George27]

We needed the breaks . We have had none. Losing Battle was probably the last straw.

Wilkie doing a fabulous job on Jack Riewoldt.

Steele has lifted in the second quarter .

Clark looks composed as always .

Marshall busting his guts .

Butler the most creative of the forwards. Membrey also working very hard

[The_Dud]

We need to do what the Bulldogs did in the last quarter last week, just go for broke and move the ball forward quickly at all costs, what’s the worst that can happen?!?

[shanegrambeau]

We have Centre clearance at all..

That big pricks elbow into Patons face deliberate ...should be suspended
Cochin ripping off Jones’s head...no 50?
Sincs goal disallowed...

Wtf

We can’t clear for s***

I can’t see any upside...

Hannebery? We need you...Hill too...

Sincs is trying...MEmbrey too.

That arsehole will get nothing

Cotchin won’t even get looked at cause he’s Richmond

[CQ SAINT]

We should just come out and play the man. f*** the score. Let's make them hurt.
