[desertsaint]

[Bruce G McAbee]

Just hope it's a less stressful game next Saturday.

[Freebird]

Did anyone think that clark and burns were going to kick their last shots on goal? fknfvsbf;lskjk

[The Fireman]

The umpiring in this game has been so poor for both sides.

Thought the umpires were ok. That must pi$$ curly off

Mate they were terrible, very rarely do you hear commentators openly criticising umpires like they were tonight. With that in mind thought we definitely got the rub of the green. The Higgins holding will give me nightmare though

Cannot fault this guys game

Deserved of a Brownlow


Can’t see us beating the skunks though… but have to be in it to win it

[The_Dud]

I wish we didn’t have to keep “taking the win” and could put up a dominant performance!

In the next 5 weeks we play teams 12, 14, 16 and 18 on the ladder.

Positive from today was returning players looking good, unfortunate about Owens.

Also think Pou needs a rest. Very promising but needs a break

I’m seeing this standard every week, so I just go with the flow now. At least they weren’t one-sided and that’s all anyone can hope for. One thing I won’t do is blame the umpires for every loss. We have someone on here that does…… is just plain self punishing

Yep, it’s not like it was 28-14 or anything ridiculous like that!

Though some are still not happy with 18-14!

[Bruce G McAbee]

Good to see Owens singing the song with the boys.
Hopefully good to go after the bye.

Yep looked like his old self last that last quarter.

I'm glad I wasn't the only person to notice this. It was appalling. Clark looked everywhere except the goals. Byrnes looked like, ' Gee, you don't really expect me to kick it if I'm more that 2 metres out?"

[Scollop]

They're both not KP Forwards

It's Hogan's job to kick them and he missed a far easier set shot

Ever tried kicking the footy when the ground is slippery and firm under foot?

[SaintPav]

I thought GWS were brave.

Mate…c’mon…
They are meant to be the best/most highly skilled players in Australia. Most local grounds are cut up, wet & slippery now. No excuse for appalling set shots & lack of skill.
Talk about being spoilt, not every ground will be a bowling green each week.

That shot from Byrnes was abysmal.
No pressure, had already won and it nearly missed his foot!

[Scollop]

They didn't used to run 15km in the old days...

But even Dunstall, Plugger and Peter Hudson missed 'em too

But you are saying the grounds were worse than today in the same argument. Mud that was inches deep in those era’s too.

If we need a goal to win after the siren then we are in big strife. Who would you actually trust to kick 7/10? from 35-45m out? Very slim pickings and it’s been like that for far too long.

[skeptic]

Steele turned a corner, 2nd half his best since being injured.

Yep looked like his old self last that last quarter.

I like to take credit… I pointed out that he had four touches with 10min to go in the second, hadn’t touched the ball for almost a quarter of play time.

Proceeded to have 8 touches in the remainder of that quarter and a huge second half. Someone obviously showed him my post… and for that I’m glad

[The Fireman]

Feeling pretty happy about that win but

Hate having to watch the clock

Go saints
