Looked a leg injury. Hope it's not his foot again.

doing it easy. north were always going to put in after last weeks embarrassment,

[skeptic]

All week ppl were picking a big win for the Saints but my gut was telling me this was going to be a scrappy affair where we should be happy to pull away at the end and bank the points.

I don’t reckon there’s too much in the way of constructive notes.

Hope Roma is ok and it would be nice if Coops could sink one more

[bigcarl]

Typical Roscoe “win ugly” effort. And yes, Roos were on the rebound from a belting so they were bound to show something … and they did.

Would have been nice to put them to the sword, but we’ll have to settle for four premiership points.

[Premium89]

Feel like Roos have bought us down to their level. Phillipou finally got the mark he’s been threatening to take.

Perfect game to have on in the background while cooking dinner and feeding the kid - no need to watch too closely!

Yawn

[desertsaint]

that'll do pig, that'll do.

[Devilhead]

5 goals .... take that I guess but Crows will thump us if we bring that crap next week

Yes, someone tipped this. Can’t find the thread

[chook23]

Roma ...foot

Iced ....limping

[The_Dud]

North were putrid, and we only just squeaked passed them.

Worse performance this year by a mile, it was vintage Richo era stuff.

[wally]

Is it just me or are kangas the biggest divers it worked first half lots of frees and ducking the shoulder to get high contact

[desertsaint]

have a look at the ladder you sour pussies. guys had a downer annd still won comfy. good signs.

[cwrcyn]

Byrnes played well. One of our best today. Absolutely nothing wrong with his performance

[SAINT-LEE]

Hoping Romo comes good, no bone fractures, no tears....we are soooo thin on Ruck

[Teflon]

Actually haven’t been huge Byrnes fan as his foot skills worry me but he was good today no doubt

[SaintPav]

Norf did not score a goal the first half and they scored less than they did last week. Our defence was fantastic.

I think that had more to do with them butchering opportunity after opportunity in front of goal rather than our outstanding defending

Just trying to be positive.

They got plenty of looks let’s be honest
What a terrible game wow was thinking paying the money to go
Thank **** I bailed

[B.M]

Went to the game

Wish I didn’t

[Mr Magic]

Oh FFS
Week after week you decry Curly for ‘ruining’ the Match Day thread
Today, not one comment from Curly but 20 negative posts from you.
You seem to delight in belittling every thing about the Club,
Why is that?

[Brunswicksainter]

Went to the game, terrrible atmosphere. Would love a smaller stadium in Melbourne (ala Ikon park) for fixtures such as these. Can't be to negative given how well the defence held up. Our efficiency going forward and pressure in the first half was unacceptable though and reminds me a lot of last year. Having a quick look at our draw for the rest of the season, it would be criminal if we don't make the 8 from here.
