Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 6 2022

[Cordz2]

Umpire just cheated

Everyone just saw a umpire caught cheating.

OMG how could that be justified? What a farce the AFL has become. No damn common sense anymore.

Since when did an umpire change his mind after a player questioned his decision.

Players need to learn to stop doing it or it's 50 meters.

Oh please. Was just blatant rubbish

You need to learn the new rules Curly, it's that simple.

If that’s 50 we may as well stop games and award a winner at the toss. The rule is demonstrive or abuse. No abuse not demonstrative.

He just stuffed up then made it worse.

Flynn free and goal incorrect

Ward 50 and goal incorrect

All week they’ve been told they’re not allowed to question/dispute the umpires decision.

I thought you were told to stop spamming the thread with your rubbish?

You’re spamming just as much by taking up the fight every f@&$ time. You’re boring The thread.

[The_Dud]

Can we NOT make this thread about FKN umpiring

The 50 was there - he disputed the decision

Howard had his arm around

We got 9 free kicks to 6 in the First… a couple resulting in goals

How about we analyse the putrid effort by the players?!

+1

IMO the umpire made a mistake with one free kick against Howard.

The 50 for dissent looked to me to be entirely consistent with the rule. I thought that as soon as Mackenzie started waving his hand around and yelling, there’d be a 50. And so there was.

[saintkid]

Poor Hayes.

We love the way he plays and right now his suspected ACL injury is more in my thoughts that coming out of tonight with a win.

Gary Lyon Roo Browny

The umpire made a mistake

Them or you

Channel 7 commentators disagree.

Stop spamming.

No they don’t they also said it was wrong

You effectively started it claiming it was the umps who had us leading at Qtr time...so which is it?

[meher baba]

Will we win? GWS look beatable, but we’re not taking our chances. Unless that changes, GWS will surely win.

[SaintPav]

Do it for Jack!

All our passengers are well-rested.

What about when king did it?
What about when Whitfield did it?
And so on
You can’t have a rule and not pay it all the time
Especially when the umpire did get it wrong

Agree
Focus on WHY pressure dropped away?
WHY we can’t win a contested ball?
WHY are we playing a stop start scrummage game that they love???????????

[SaintDippa]

F50 entries has lost the plot.
Membery leads straight at Steele who ignores and loops a kick to a stationary King 4 on 2.
The ball movement has been rubbish.

Incorrect. Daisy Pierce agreed it was correct. The rule is crystal clear.

How about we talk about the loss of Hayes and now we have a 2nd ruck & no 2nd key forward to kick to, creating any type of separation?

[The_Dud]

I fear King is a major injury waiting to happen with the way he is being asked to play

[Wayne42]

Let's hope Cooper Sharman has a good game for Sandy this week, i think we need him in the team.

I don’t think they are anything like our biggest problems ATM.

We’re not cutting it in the centre, at stoppages or in heavy traffic when we’re coming out of the backline.

Maybe try NWM further back. He’s got sufficient range to clear the heavy traffic that GWS is creating between the arcs when we’re bringing the ball out.

[saintbob]

We’ve got no numbers at the fall of the ball, Gresh and Higgins are trying to cheat off the back they need to get busy at Kings feet

[Ghost Like]

WOW, and some are still dumb enough to think rucks don't make a difference.

[skeptic]

Boy that Higgins…

The difference in him btw when he plays or pure instinct vs. having time to think is astounding

[MC Gusto]

We’ll run over them in the second half. Bit of the yips..we’ll overcome it

[MC Gusto]

Fitness

[MC Gusto]

Even with RoMo off

[MC Gusto]

Pressure cooker is on

[skeptic]

Oooh Higgins needs to think
