Match Thread Saints v Giants Round 10 2023

[Devilhead]

Great forward pressure Saints

[Trev from the Bush]

Hopeless Fox commentary can't tell the difference between Stocker and Phillipou!

[Scollop]

Owens and Butler doing well

Sebby and Crouch turning it over

[skeptic]

What’s concerning is who is winning the ball for GWS
Green
Kelly
Conglio
Whitfield

Going to be a long day if these guys are the ones that get on top

[Scollop]

Gresh getting involved. Having a positive impact

[Otiman]

Hopeless Fox commentary can't tell the difference between Stocker and Phillipou!

To be fair I struggle sometimes too. It helps that one plays forward and one back.

[Otiman]

I am liking Caminiti presenting up the ground.

[skeptic]

Whitfield… 11 touches
Almost double the highest Saint

Dangerous player to be racking up that many

[Devilhead]

Miss ... Miss ... dead in front

[Otiman]

Goals in the last minute of the quarter hurting us this year

[Devilhead]

Coughin up goals in the last 30 secs again

[Banger9798]

Poor effort Howard

[The_Dud]

Missed the start of the game but turned on in time to see us miss a few sitters.

Bad kicking is bad football!

To be fair, a bloke with tattoos on both upper legs who is a natural right footer looks nothing like a cleanskin kid who is a natural left footer. Too be fair, they were the same jumpers, but that's all. An experienced commentator like Dipstick Dwayne should know this.

[SydneySainter]

So we dominate the last half of the qtr, squander three sodas to give us the lead and we now have a 4 point deficit to show for it. Very modern St Kilda.

[Banger9798]

Owens miss from dead in front was poor.
But his efforts have been superb apart from that

[Scollop]

What sort of cohesion or planning goes into our forward entries?

Wood, Marshall, Owens and King all went up for the mark when Pou was kicking inside 50.

It looked like school boy footy with a pack of 10 players going up for the mark

What's worse is the smalls were probably leading in the pockets instead of being at the fall of the ball

[Devilhead]

Working hard for little reward on the scoreboard

[Brunswicksainter]

Coughin up goals in the last 30 secs again

Yeah was going to say. Do we hold the record for most consecutive first quarter last minute goals conceded?

[meher baba]

GWS have learnt from the Crows last week. They are trying to neutralise our defence by taking a lot of risks coming out of defence, and so far most of their daring handpasses and chip kicks are coming off. But I don't think they're as skilful as the Crows, so we should be able to beat them by capitalising on turnovers. However, missing two gettable set shots from inside the forward 50 didn't help our cause.

[Scollop]

Owens miss from dead in front was poor.
But his efforts have been superb apart from that

He copped a heavy high hit and got the free from that, so he was probably a bit shaken by the head knock

[Bruce G McAbee]

As usual, we don't put scoreboard pressure on when we get on top.
We were well on top in last 10 minutes and missed very gettable goals.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Max doesn't spin the ball, kicks straight.

[desertsaint]

More of that kingy!

[MC Gusto]

King looks settled
