Match Thread Saints v Power Round 7 2023

[terry smith rules]

Alarm bells ... we look flatfooted and tired

The coach knows best. Leave the team unchanged for the rest of the year

5 day turnaround - very unfair

Very easy to counter by planning properly and utilising the whole list

Exactly

[SydneySainter]

I’ve had a gut full of this. Port, the team that was made made to beat the Saints. Our dung heap or not. Pathetic!

[Devilhead]

How many missed fkn tackles

[SydneySainter]

Not a single mark inside our fwd 50 this qtr. You all told me to pull my head in after that disaster of a Cairns clash last year, but it was the start of the end of our season. This will be too if we drop this.

[SydneySainter]

Not a goal in that entire qtr. Again, Hinkley walks away laughing. We’re n the verge of being a joke AGAIN!!’

[CURLY]

Garbage football

I'm really struggling to understand what your point is. You really haven't made it often enough for it to sink in.

Sigh...

[SydneySainter]

Last year it was humidity, now it’s the 5 day break. When it comes to Port, we’re the king of excuses

[Winmore]

Far-queue,

[desertsaint]

good quarter guys.
not that last one though - that was s***.

[SaintPav]

Another missed free to Higgins.

[meher baba]

I thought we played a lot stronger in the last 5 minutes or so of that quarter. Port have run their guts out to get back into the game. It's possibly unsustainable: we need to hang in for the third quarter and then the fourth could get interesting.

[meher baba]

Another missed free to Higgins.

He was hit in the head, but he did buckle his legs. I can understand the ump not wanting to play it. It wasn't anywhere near as bad as the Horne-Francis holding the ball that wasn't played in Q1.

[SydneySainter]

I make no apologies, I’m effing pissed. Just the same formula year after year. Port will still be our bogies, as will the Crows and Swans. Enough of the mediocrity!!!

Fair enough, drink up.

I can’t imagine this is right…

What about all that blocking Cordy is doing?

I know the stats show 1 mark, 1 kick, 1 goal but his pressure acts have resulted in our other 4 goals and other opportunities right?

It's not over yet. We're only 7 points behind.

[shanegrambeau]

Oh dear
What can the matter be?

It’s the Battle of Jutland

And our bloody ships dont seem to be working..

Don’t worry

Admiral Jerricos fleet will come down from Scapa Fliow and sent them scurrying away in the next stanza

We have to have a plan B a contingency

Will we be reactive ??

Or will we maintain ??

[Otiman]

Another missed free to Higgins.

Ump said he 'shrugged' the tackle which slipped it high. Didn't realise that was a rule, is it?

No, I agree with you. That's crap.

Making a right arse clown out of himself.

Have another drink.

[The Fireman]

Just hoping the 5 day break isn’t detrimental to seeing this game out

[skeptic]

Byrnes I think is the key. 6 touches and struggling to get near it. I reckon if he can lift, we’ll left

[chook23]

Flat as a tack after 15mins 2nd q

Look fatigued.....fatigue errors

Structure fracturing

Team defense struggling

Will be tough from here

It’s rubbish.
