Match Thread Saints v Freo Round 1 2023

[The_Dud]

After everything tho, the game is still there to be won, we can do it!

[Devilhead]

St Byron, I know you’re at the footy so shouldn’t be worrying about this joint, but round 1 is the time to set the standard for the year regarding spamming this thread with umpiring whinging, even when asked specifically not to.

Umpiring is part of the game - it can effect the result so if posters want to complain or be happy about the umpiring so be it.

Goes the other way also with posters complaining about posters complaining about the umpiring - that's even worse spam as you are not talking about the game

Over at BigFooty there is plenty of complaining over there as well but no one complaining about those posting their annoyance re: umpiring

Go for it Curly

Is Cordy playing?????????

No 21.

[Banger9798]

Wood - deep courageous running from this man

[samoht]

We need to play midsized players ahead of both Butler and Higgins next week.
I'd even play Paton ahead of either one of Higgins or Butler as a small forward.
Gresh just then was too small ... and was easily outmarked.

[desertsaint]

c'mon lads!

[Devilhead]

Anyone got the center clearance stats?

[saintbob]

Gresham is so overrated it’s not funny, send the fucker back to Sandy to rot!!!

[Banger9798]

Well done Caminiti

[Vortex]

I thought Cordy was a garbage choice considering he’s not a forward, hasn’t played well as a forward, hasn’t been impressive and his preseason characterised by his lack of fitness… has been a complete non-factor so far.


I’d have preferred Sharman by a long shotop but not overly damaging. Hope to see Bytel get in amongst or some more. Made a bad decision early but he looks a goer for me

There's a fair amount of irony in these statements, probably for the same reason too many fans went way too early on Sharman and thought he was the answer to our next forward line super star.

Here we go again we are calling a player garbage after 2 quarters, just hilarious considering Cordy at least has some credits in the bank, namely he's played in a flag, time will tell that could be his peak but I don't need another minute of watching either player to know Cordy is the player 18 out of 18 coaches would have Cordy over Sharman on an AFL field for the time being.

I said it was a garbage decision and your criticism has nothing to do with the form parameters I mentioned. Try not to let your bias get in the way.

Is Cordy even playing still? 3 touches. Close to worst on ground

and yet you believe a player who was overtaken to a kid who's been at the club for 3 weeks would be better, my point being is maybe it's time to just reserve judgement before going too early on the ridiculous.

do you reckon Coops would have got more than 3 touches?

All I’m saying is that based on our preseason…
Both haven’t been great but Cordy came in as a defender, out of shape, in form, hasn’t played well as a forward and had a lacklustre preseason.

Coops came back in better shape, plays as a forward and has had ok games as a forward.

Experience doesn’t mean anything if you’re not in a position not to do well…
It was very predictable that Cordy would present as very very poor in this game and so far he has met those expectations

mate I don't give a dead set farg about how many touches Cordy has got, so what if he's played a shocker so far, the fact is he's got one million more credits in the bank compared with Sharman, so for sure, call out a player like Cordy for not having an impact so far but for crying out loud have some self respect for having a bigger clue and at least suggest a player to be the alternative who isn't spud

[Banger9798]

Yes Baby!!

[Premium89]

Gresham is so overrated it’s not funny, send the fucker back to Sandy to rot!!!

Poor effort on your part.

[CURLY]

Sinclair top 20 player in the AFL

[The_Dud]

Love Sinclair

[desertsaint]

[MC Gusto]

Like the look of a few of these kids

[CURLY]

Higgins just cost Gresham a shot on goal

[Banger9798]

WOOD IS GOOD

I'm excited too

Nearly spoofed

[samoht]

Higgins too short and a liability in the air We could use taller players.

[Banger9798]

There's Cordy

[desertsaint]

[Banger9798]
