Match thread v Melbourne

[MC Gusto]

Wilkie has been superb

[asiu]

hold

[sks023]

Holding your dick umpie

[MC Gusto]

Unfortunate- we were dominating

[Winmore]

And I thought Newport was a Melbourne spy...

[Devilhead]

Have played about 5 mins of good footy the rest has been trash

[The_Dud]

After being closer than we should have in the first, the umps got us a few goals which got us moving, had all the run then just got too cute and handed it all back to the Dees.

Should be a few goals up, hopefully Ratts gives them a spray.

[Impatient Sainter]

Salem is killing Butler who has been completely unsighted. Butler needs to be told to just shut Salem down.

Is Hunter Clark playing?
Is Jack Higgins playing?

Webster & Jones have been ordinary.

Gees we need Ryder & Marshall back Hunter & McKernan have been ordinary, particular in marking contests.

How is it we had Battle & King both off at the same time and noone to kick to going forward.

Basically Melbourne have wanted it more are working harder and are leading as a result.The positive is we are not playing well and are still within 4 points.

Ratts needs to give them an absolute rocket!

[perfectionist]

Melbourne put a player behind the ball and so we stopped running forward and became sideways cute - cots us momentum and three goals.

[sks023]

Need to slow down a touch

[CURLY]

Playing poorly missing the two rucks badly.

Just give it a rest mate yeah we had a few they had a few don't be a martyr for the umpiring fraternity. You & Curly have an axe to grind please don't let it affect your affect your judgement on the match day post

[I love the saints!]

Those frees were there everyday of the week. As for what Melbourne has got away with....

Not affecting my judgement at all, we’re losing because we’ve only played 10 good minutes out of 40, only ourselves to blame.

Frees going our way 13-6 (I think the usuals forgot to post this?) is just part of the game, swings and roundabouts.

Get our act together and we should roll them, but the Dees will smash us if we don’t get smart quick.

[Impatient Sainter]

Jones, Higgins, McKernan, Battle 5 possessions in a half.
King, Butler & Long 4 possessions in half.
Hunter & Lonie 3 possessions in a half.

50% of the team have had a total 36 possessions!

[Wayne42]

I thought Hill was meant to be a good player, there's been nothing but excuses for his poor performances ever since he arrived at the Saints.

Hope he lifts in the 2nd half. Not that he's on his own playing wise in this game.

[asiu]

does this have the smell of a draw about it ?

[The_Dud]

A lot of down players, which means a lot of opportunities to lift

[bangaulegend]

I think you have missed my point I didn't say we had more or less free kicks IMO you just dont need to go there during a match thread

[The_Dud]

So many bloody mistakes.

Turn around Dougal!

[sks023]

What's wrong with our skills

[roskilde]

Clark has been abducted by aliens and replaced with a zombie clone.

[The_Dud]

This is pathetic

[CURLY]

Looking leg heavy last weeks game is catching up with us.

[Winmore]

Weak as p1ss.
