Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 2 2022

[Jacks Back]

Where's Max. Concussion protocol? when he got hit in the head but didn't get the free?

[Kate]

I'm at the game.
It's really bad, the way the umps are biased.

Hayes front-on contact near the square, playon? Really?

Higgins gets pushed hard as he kcks, near the 50, maggot ignores it?

Yeah, pretty ordinary umpiring. AGAIN. Frees are 13 to 7 against us. Nearly two to one.

[Bruce G McAbee]

It's going to great if the Max incident results in an a report and King didn't get a free kick.

Club needs to risk fine, stop being nice and call it out
Chamberlain killed us against pies
Umps aside, who is in charge of our forward 50 entries - abysmal
Kick and hope stuff

[Impatient Sainter]

Its painful to watch how poor our F50 entries are! If our forwards dont start leading up at the ball Im going to throw something at the TV. That on top of our basic skills which have been deplorable, we have squandered numerous chances. The worst 1/2 game of football Ive seen for sometime.

[SaintPav]

Was Darcy an original in? Must have been seeing things on Thursday night.

[Scollop]

Out of the 16 inside 50’s there were probably 6-7 that were just the usual long bomb and hope.

There were 5 or 6 that were genuine opportunities where we had time and space and we couldn’t hit targets or weren’t composed enough.

Last week Hayes was our best. This week Mckenzie is our best so far.

Battle and Sinclair playing well

[Kate]

It's going to great if the Max incident results in an a report and King didn't get a free kick.

It's Michael Cristian; no case to answer.

[Scollop]

We’re not losing because of the umpires

[CURLY]

How does a umpire miss that? Balls there so he has to be watching. It was clearly high no one can argue different.

It’s biased

[bangaulegend]

We are not making the most of our opportunities that's for f---ing sure but we are in this game . We just need to be a lot cleaner with our disposal our kicking is woeful. Well done Dan McKenzie great quarter

[DJ Higgins]

16 inside 50’s to to St Kilda

4 inside 50’s Freo

Same amount of goals this quarter

Yep…’our backline is the problem’

Fair Dinkum.

its the stupid long bombs into 50. Last option not first.

On a plus we should be winning so we are doing most things right and NWM is playing ok for a debut.
Hayes backing up again from last week and the backs doing ok considering. Just cant hit a forward in space

[Teflon]

We’ve had a whole summer to get some system into forward 50 but sane as last year …bomb kick n hope
No lead up structure
No multiple options
Just headless chooks banging it on the boot
Let’s be honest Freo ai t much
How are we gonna go against Melbourne?????
Geezus

[Kate]

We’re not losing because of the umpires

Doesn't mean there is no room for improvement. Call it out.

[Gershwin]

We really are poor.
And I watched us in the 1970's and 80's.
Poor skills.

[Impatient Sainter]

Does Jack Steele ever speak to the umpires? You never see him going to them at the end of a quarter, after a goal to question their decisions or impress on them that we are getting shafted.

[Devilhead]

That King free against when he tackled Pearce was a horrific watch ..... perfect tackle

[Devilhead]

Cmon the game is there to be won Saints

[Bruce G McAbee]

Also, where are our small forwards when we go forward to swoop on missed marks.
Milne kicked so many goals from spilled marks and spoils.

[st.byron]

We just need to be a lot cleaner with our disposal our kicking is woeful.

Has been this way for years and years.

I'll be watching this from now on...

[Devilhead]

What is it gunna take for the match committee to understand Sharman as another tall marking option up forward straightens us up and stretches the opposition backline

As obvious as a punch the face

He would get fined and probably suspended.

[Yorkeys]

Effort good. Battle great. Joyce draws very long straw again but hard at it. Wind diabolical so skills excusable. And what about Seb's pass! NWM looks as much at sea as Mitch did. We never really expected to win did we, just hoped.

[PADDLEPOP1001]

Go Saints!
