Match Thread Rd 1 vs the Filth

[skeptic]

If the pre-game kicking at goal in anything to go by…

We’re going to win 18.2 to 3.14

We were sinking them from everywhere and from the Collingwood side where I’m sitting… spraying them all over the place.

If it’s a strategy to lull us into a state of overconfidence… it certainly worked on me

Also… good to see Marvel Stadium all marvelled up

GO SAINTS

[skeptic]

Also… possible late change?

NWM named on the bench!

Edit - sub

[The_Dud]

I’ve no idea where any teams are form-wise round 1, I’m a bit worried, hope we get up!

[Bruce G McAbee]

All I know is that our best is better than their best.
Problem is, will we bring our best tonight.

[skeptic]

Boy NWM is stick thin but even now his skills stand out

I reckon he’s kicked 15/15 set shots

[desertsaint]

C'mon fellas!

[desertsaint]

Nice pass daicos. Thank you very much!

[CURLY]

Great start just even it up Ray.

[Toy Saint]

Saints looking pretty average so far

[skeptic]

We look very haphazard without the ball
Not sure where to punch
Not manning up well
Spoiling is atrocious

[CURLY]

Open slather just target the head.

[Wayne42]

Kent, you beauty

[skeptic]

Aaah Kent makes me laugh

I criticised him early for not kicking goals and he gets one handed to him on the goal line

Nice work

[skeptic]

Tackling, pressure, corralling etc is atrocious

Every time Collingwood have the ball they burst forward options aplenty

[skeptic]

Complete inability to move the ball without kicking to a contest

[desertsaint]

Looks like two middling teams, but just one with a game plan.

[Wayne42]

Hayes kicks his first for the Saints

[desertsaint]

Onya jack!

[saintkid]

Tackling, pressure, corralling etc is atrocious

Exactly.
Pretty disappointing also to see the opposition marking again uncontested in our forward line. Inexcusable.

[B.M]

If that’s the s*** we are going to dish up after months of pre season

F*** me

Ball movement is horrendous

Slow as treacle

[The_Dud]

Well, after 1 quarter can’t say I’ve seen anything too inspiring, just looks like more of the same old 2021.

Ball movement unconvincing, delivery inside 50 same rubbish, backline looks dicey.

3 goals directly from Pies mistakes, not sure if that’s sustainable.

[Otiman]

3 goals directly from Pies mistakes, not sure if that’s sustainable.

I agree, first from a kick straight to us, another from a handball to us, and the last from a direct free kick.

You make your own luck, but we have to start kicking our own goals.

[Wayne42]

Who hit Cox behind play ?

Howard, saw the replay.

[skeptic]

Needed that from Gresh

Hopefully Membrey gets this

[bigcarl]

Lucky to be just nine points down. Collingwood has looked by far the better side so far.
