Saints vs Port. Game thread

[samoht]

Small forwards seem to go missing in tough games and under heavy conditions.

We could have selected a bigger bodied player and rested a small forward (maybe even 2) perhaps?

[Otiman]

What is pathetic is the umpiring gifting them the win! Give us two easy kicks from the square or directly in front and we win. Not to mention the unrewarded tackles! A crock of rubbish!! And as for that ground. I hope we never play a "home" game there again! Not to mention the complete lack of crowd support!

Ummm we had more than two easy kicks from pretty close range that we missed…

Yep and if we kicked another 2 points we win.

[Laurie]

Bad kicking bad football.
1.15 so do not blame the umpires we had our chances.

[The Fireman]

Angry?
We’ll be ok
Should have won this one I’m confident we’ll rebound
We are very skilful unit

[Impatient Sainter]

That was Rattens worst coaching performance of the year. We desperately needed run around the ball Crouch & Gresham were terrible. Surely you throw Sinclair onto the ball and Long forward.

Campbell shouldn't have played given it was a wet track. Higgins got slaughtered by Burton yet he left him matched against him. Once again too many easy missed shots, an absolute shocking loss. Another 4 points thrown away, dumb stuff and a very poorly coached football club tonight.

If Butler is not dropped after tonight I'm sending my membership back to the club.

How many wins have we given to Port Adelaide by playing our home games at neutral venues.

Yep it’s why the AFL is a corrupt joke.

Yeah sick of it but still not the venues fault
Weak inept goal kicking in front of goals the difference
Max K or Ben if you listen Richo and Darc will cop heat this week and so he should
He’s paid to kick goals ffs

[cwrcyn]

Powell Pepper got away with 5 holding the balls. The one near the end was disgraceful umpiring. As for Max King.....that was a horrible performance

[1966]

Sick of this crap. Really poor. We are pretenders.

[The Fireman]

unlucky fellas but port a bit smarter in the conditions. need to be a bit smarter and kick a bit straighter.
good old fashioned scraggly game.

Just wondering if you could think up some more excuses?
We didn’t win due to pathetic conversion.
Higgins and King again the culprits.

Small forwards get smashed in the big, tough games ... even Milne went missing.

Agree on Powell pepper near end clearly caught with the ball but that game should never have been that close

[The_Dud]

Today we learnt Freo are the real deal, and we are not.

[The Fireman]

Great pretenders?

[1966]

Selling home games is just wrong.
Costs us every year.

Exactly.

[Wayne42]

After Port's breakthrough win last week they were probably rapt to be playing StKilda the following week, and at a neutral venue.

Some people have a victim mentality and are always looking for excuses.

[Jacks Back]

Gresham 0.3
Higgins 1.3
King 2.2
Butler Unsighted

[The Fireman]

That arleer or whatever his name is Cut us up in defence

[StPeter]

1 goal 15 behinds in nearly three quarters of footy and still only lose by 1 point.

Not hard to see what cost us the game!!

[Jacks Back]

I’ve never done a game thread before thought I might just get in early okay how much are we going to win bye?

This could be a big mistake The Fireman. I usually start the game threads and have started all of them this year except the Collingwood game. Now I'm bloody nervous

Lienert the sub

Go Saints!!!!!

Hmmmm. Now you have me worried



Ps sorry for cutting your lunch

Please think again next time.
