Piss poor.

Pretty average game As if 2 bottom teams playing But hopefully we do enough to win

[B.M]

Poor standard game

[freely]

Umpires put whistle away for Cameron holding the ball.

Poor umpiring.

Standard.

To pay that free was a disgrace.

SHUT UP!

[Wayne42]

Is Crouch having a mare ?

No. He's our best player by a mile.

Is that why it's a low standard game.

The injury to Mitch Owens means we now have the team we should have started with. Hopefully, they will now push Ben Long forward - we should get the selectors to write out a thousand times for homework "Ben Long is not a backman."

[spert]

Our midfield need to get involved a bit more- DMac and Crouch doing Ok, but Gresh, Jones and Seb gone missing- need to get hands on ball. Long and Butler to to get into it. Not enough output from the forwards. The backline are doing great.

I don’t think we’ll ever look too pretty when Crouch and Ross are our main ball winners, just not their strong point.

It’s made even worse by Hill barely touching it and NWM dropped.

First time ever feeling like Saints are getting the West Coast treatment by the umpires. It’s a strange feeling. I can say other team supporters have been lying when they say it gets evened up.

To be fair, there's a bit on the result of this game. St Kilda out to prove themselves & Brisbane to stop the pretence & claim their Top 4 bona fides.

Poor standard game

Where have you been for last 15 years? This is AFL footy with 30 on the ball. It's only blowouts that are "pretty" to watch - for one team anyway.

[perfectionist]

Seb only plays the second half.

[kosifantutti]

Owens subbed out for Lienert.

Yep. Should never happen. Should have a commentator special comments person from both teams. Lethal and Hodge couldn't be anymore pro lions In their commentary

[Teflon]

Wood has been just for a while imo I e not been sold in him
Billing’s in to play wing
Owens impressive abd I think if Windhager has a quiet second half it’s rest time and Clarke back
Just would love to see King get on the lead/space it’s been said already but standing still wrestling ain’t his go get on the lead Max
Crouch has been good - whoever said he’s been ordinary has lost plot
Backline really solid
Hill must get into the game
Let’s run these mongrels off their feet second half
Cmon Saints don’t care if it’s ugly just want the points

[Trev from the Bush]

The playing surface appears a bit off colour, maybe cut too short. The ball isn't bouncing truly.

Apparently it is the balls from what I can see - they do not seem 'broken in'

The broadcast wing, in particular, looks a little like Docklands in its early days.

Its a channel 7 game and commentators

[The_Dud]

Big second half coming up?

We’re apparently super fit this season, coming off a bye, lions coming off a 6 day break playing in Perth…

No excuses really.

Exactly
It’s an old fashioned defence game cause these two sides know a bit is on it
I think it will open up
I do think the umps need to let it go a bit or we’ll have 5000 frees and no one wants a game decided by dud free

[Jacks Back]

Seb only plays the second half.

He's leading the possessions for us with 15

[SunnyErnie]

Food to see that Wood has started pathetically again. He is f***ed

[The_Dud]

Well done DMac, hopefully more shoulder than head…

If you don't like it I suggest you complain to th 7 Network.

Not a great start Lienhart (sp?)
