Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 9 2023

[therabbitinthehat]

Byrnes a nice goal, but steele should've gotten a free for a high tackle then, we can't buy one atm

[Devilhead]

Well done Ronnie

[desertsaint]

Heard a snippet on the radio that Howard doesn’t look interested?

Just more of the usual??

you're not even watching and you're potting players?
umps sacrosanct tho.

I’m asking a question u muppet.

no you're not. you're being your usual smart arse self.

[Devilhead]

You just knew it .... goal on siren

[Sainter_Dad]

Fight Hard - then .... Adelaide

[lewdogs]

A much better effort that quarter but the Crows look so dangerous when they get space. 4.0 to 4.4 for the quarter. Really hurts.

[Mr Magic]

Watched the last 10 minutes only
Has the HTB rule changed in the past week?

[CURLY]

Umpires the difference how does the AFL allow this?

Others have said much worse in this thread than asking a question, yet you single me out?

Walk on, muppet.

Only for us. We have been fingered totally.

Midfield just refuses to spread, giving Adelaide all the space in the world. And Hill’s lack of accountability is being perfectly exploited on the far wing.

[Jacks Back]

Sharman 3, Marshall 5, Hill 6 and a host under 10 possessions. The experienced players need to lift. I can see Sharman getting subbed out on his effort so far - then bye bye Sharman.

Can't hear you - not until you apologise

[asiu]

righteo then

option 5

get sh1t together / run over the top of them

very doable

c'aaaarn Sainters

[Teflon]

No reward for tackles HTB multiple times
That aside ….sane issue we’ve had for a while …forward 50 efficiency is poor
Double inside 50 ….scored 4 more points for quarter…
Been an issue for some time

[Scollop]

21 points down with 30 seconds left until half time and there's a stoppage at CHB.

Marshall gets the tap out straight into Crouch's bread basket. No clear kick or handball. It gets knocked out, bounces from player to player, than goes back to Crouch.

Steele is in front of him +he can clearly see him but he chooses to kick it to no one

Instead of retaining possession and looking for a team mate he gets a dinky kick that dribbles 10 metres forward and it's taken by a Crows player (he had Steele free just 2 metres away boundary side).

There was only 15-20 seconds left and they kicked a goal

People like BM and takeaway keep telling me he is a great ball winner. Yes I fkn know that! But he is a great turn over merchant too!!

[SaintPav]

First goal is critical.

So are the next 10.

[shanegrambeau]

Sharman 3, Marshall 5, Hill 6 and a host under 10 possessions. The experienced players need to lift. I can see Sharman getting subbed out on his effort so far - then bye bye Sharman.

So Sincs should be dropped then?

No he has 12 + points in the bank. He needs to lift though as well.

The sooner we get better replacements for players like Crouch, the better.

[SaintPav]

Can Cordy replace Howard.

Howard is s***.

[Scollop]

Crouch is not a team player

Getting possessions does not help your team when you roll the dice on a 50/50 kick with just 20 seconds left until half time

If you kick the footy 50m and clear the danger area, that's fair enough but what's the point of doing a dinky kick when you are only adding to your own selfish kick stats

[desertsaint]

unlucky nasiah

Been an issue for some time

Forward 50 efficiency only about 32%

Very poor
