Match Thread Saints v Roos Round 8 2023

[SAINT-LEE]

Hey, at least Sandringham outscored us in their first quarter vs North....2 goals to our 1.

Suddenly RTB looks like Ross at a Loss...2 losses last 3 games and a very shocking start in this one....North have a chance!

Game plan was unsustainable with our team from the start. It was still great to see the youth have a crack but by week 5 the team was worn...people can excuse it by saying its only round 5 or other teams are at same standards....but our previous 2 yrs the lads training was not comparable. This preseason ( which is now up to afl standard) is like 4 games to these bodoes before the season starts....

Our boys have looked tired and weary since round 5....

I think I’d rather put a replay of the Good Friday game on over this…

Go back and have a shot Membrey you fkhd

Has been a very good player in the past but he's slowed down now to the point where he makes our forward line too predictable. Struggles to get to the contest now unless he's sitting under the ball.

That’s the problem
He’s refusing to lead
Still wants it bombed on his head but he cagtctaje contested marks
He’s treacle slow

He’s not big and strong enough to be a bear in the square. Relies on a vertical leap. Good third banana, but we’re asking him to be first

[Devilhead]

That's twice now Drury has sucked in the umpire

[The_Dud]

North gave up 22 goals and lost by 90 points last week FWIW

Exactly Teflon and what I'm saying. Commenting ONLY on his play. Painfully obvious watching him out there.
He's also berating teammates when he's not getting near their delivery. Not good.
Caminiti was splitting packs and complemented Higgins and Butler much more at the fall of the ball.

[The_Dud]

Benny Hill stuff.

This is embarrassing.

[Teflon]

**** woeful composure
Zero
Joke

[Teflon]

Fumble
Fumble
Fumble

[Winmore]

Have we got the flu? COVID? The pox?

[desertsaint]

death by a thousand cuts

[bigcarl]

One goal nine ffs. Forward line needs a lot of work. King and Caminiti next week might help.

[The_Dud]

To be fair, tricky conditions to pick up the ball…

[desertsaint]

coops!

[Devilhead]

This match is a total trainwreck

[The_Dud]

Don’t think Cordy could do that

[saintbob]

WTF is wrong with Membrey, at this rate it’ll be in Caminiti out Membrey

[Teflon]

Higgins ball drop is Auskick

[Winmore]

They should open the frikkin’ roof.

[bigcarl]

Bury ‘‘em Saints

[The_Dud]

Literally the best possible conditions to play AFL, yet no one can pick the ball up or hang on to a mark

[The_Dud]

Butlers ‘touch’ is right at the top on our list. So many struggle to pick it up yet he is clean, one touch, almost every time

[Trev from the Bush]

Higgins redeems himself and goals.

Melbourne Victory lead 2 - 0.

Butler goals, now it's the Saints leading by 21 points. At last.

I doubt Ross won't be so cuddly at half time.

That's twice now Drury has sucked in the umpire

Yep - already I don’t like him !

[desertsaint]

450% game. what's to hate?
