Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023

[The Fireman]

Promising. Much cleaner than I remember us being. More aggressive

Yep. And a good game plan we are playing well defensively and offensively

The kids are looking good as well

[CURLY]

Higgins Gresham Butler can’t buy a free. Just throw them out the way without the ball or barrel into them.

[skeptic]

Pretty decent first quarter all things considered

Clark - there he is. That’s the guy we’ve all be waiting to see. Started really well and looking like a dangerous mid

Phillipou - geeeez looks likely. Was dangerous when he got it and smart decision making

NWM - Looks good down back albeit missed a punch

Sinclair, Steele , Crouch all picked up where they left off

Liked Woods game early as well. Worked hard around the ground and playing like a leader.

Butler has looked dangerous but missed some opportunities

Marshall looks super dangerous

Owens looking super dangerous too and very lively

From a structure point of view - seems as though there’s a structure/plan early
Forward line doing well all things considered but are way off the pace

Saintsational is done!
6 posts since start of game and 4 of them are related to umpires!
Imagine if we were 6 goals down?

Some watch footy for the umpires (and to whinge about them nonsensically), so they love it.

Very good from Hunter Clark.

[Scollop]

The leaders doing well. Marshall amazing.

Steele, Pou, Wood, Hill, Owens, and Butts all working hard

Webster and Wilkie solid

[skeptic]

Am loving Gresh up forward

Looks really dangerous there

[CURLY]

Deliberate sums it up.

[CURLY]

And another one lucky he missed.

[skeptic]

AFL app says Bytel injured

Dougal Howard is a complete dud.

Curly if you want to make ongoing comments about the umpiring start your own thread please

[CURLY]

NWM attempts a hangar gets pinned for high

Now gift goal

Yep AFL is dead to me

[skeptic]

Geeez the umps annoy me in general.

Nobody wants to watch them pay free kicks all day

[The_Dud]

Undisciplined.

[skeptic]

The commentators are annoying annoying…

Bytel is off the ground. They just said so too. I think they’re confusing him with Byrnes

[CURLY]

Up by 2 goals at quarter time 7 frees two fifties lead Freo

[The_Dud]

Our leadership group costing us goals

[CURLY]

Our leadership group costing us goals

Are they umpiring?

[Devilhead]

Umpiring is part of the game

If he wants to comment about how atrocious the fkn umpiring is then he should be allowed to comment in this game day thread

[The_Dud]

Gresham poor effort

[Otiman]

5 minutes of the most average umpiring decisions has turned the game and rattled us. We need to get our heads back in it.

That’s all he comments about.

100% of his posts.

He’s not interested in the game, he’s interested in whinging about umpiring, and what’s worse he’s wrong 95% of the time.

[SaintPav]

The Wilke umpiring decision was appalling.
