Match Thread - Saints v Dogs

[spert]

Poorly coached and gutless effort from a soft team. Don't blame the umpires

[Laurie]

Just take Benny Hill off the ground absolute disgrace to pay a guy such big money and absolutely does not man up plays bruise free footy totally not interested.

[perfectionist]

I’ll get crucified yet again, but Lonie is a f****** muppet and should never get picked in this team ever again

I think the only people who will "crucify" you are either Saints supporters at the RVIB or supporters of the other 17 clubs.

[CURLY]

Not even showing the free kick count now.

[bangaulegend]

Don’t criticise the umpires in a presser I think

Yep Ratts should keep his mouth shut it's only made a horrible inconsistency worse

21 - 9

[B.M]

22 to 9 is the count

Umpiring has been appalling, but agreed not the reason we lost so badly.

Doesn't help in the first quarter to gift Bulldogs 2 goals and a confidence boost when it was still an arm wrestle.

[The_Dud]

36 tackles in three quarters of football.

Dogs have 60.

[B.M]

It’s all Lonie’s fault - I agree

Actually
I reckon he’s one of the last people responsible for this 100+ debacle

[SaintJohno]

28 scoring shots to 6.

Yeah but it’s the umps fault...

It's been a pathetic effort no doubt Dud. Certainly not the umpires fault entirely. Would love to know however, where your love for the umpire comes from? I can see from your posts that you love to support them. That's cool, it's a hard job. But FFS surely this is the place for supporters to have a crack at some dubious decisions without the fatherly gaze of the Dud to correct us.

Irrelevant

[saintbob]

22 to 9 is the count

28 shots to 6 is the stat that counts

[CURLY]

Every hard tackle is a free to the WB. Libba dives at the legs play on Libba wrapped up throws it play on.

[spert]

The fluffy toys vs a football team

[B.M]

Dan Butler 2 possessions
Max King 3 no kicks or marks

[samoht]

DRatts! ... Naughton too good.

[Ghost Like]

Anyone else feel like listening to Richo & Daisy is like having two knitting needles shoved into & through your ear drums?

[Banger9798]

Just hot Howard without facing the ball...no problems

[The_Dud]

28 scoring shots to 6.

Yeah but it’s the umps fault...

So is not incorrectly complaining about blatant free kicks count as ‘supporting them’ these days?

I think I’ve said one post regarding the umpires, and that wasn’t about any decision.

I’d rather focus on things that St Kilda is doing and is in our control, like 36-60 tackles, 6-28 scoring shots, areas we can improve in.

[CURLY]

Howard taken out front on umpires pays Naughton the mark then has the nerve to ask can you take the mark Dougsl

[saintbob]

Sinclair is the only one who can hold his head high

[spert]

Wow check Hill's lack of effort in that last Dogs goal

[footynut]

Brad Hill what the... just get the ball

[The_Dud]

Sinclair is the only one who can hold his head high

Yep I think he’s been looking good lately
