Match Thread Saints v Blues Round 21 2023

[Jacks Back]

Carn the Saints!!!!!!!!!!

[SaintPav]

[Devilhead]

Just a huge must win game

Bring effort, intensity and skill and we win

[Bruce G McAbee]

Which team shows up, the scoring one from last week, or the low scoring team from the week's before that.

[The Fireman]

Is this a danger game ?

[desertsaint]

enough for me to tip the blues. any help we can offer.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Stocker is the sub.

It's difficult to predict how this game is going to go. Carlton have played well lately, but they have a heavily-depleted list, albeit that Mackay being out is probably a plus for them (until he fixes his goal kicking problems he isn't AFL-quality) and Walsh is significantly overrated IMO.

We need to achieve quite a few things to win IMO, including:

- convert our goal opportunities, particularly early on
- keep Saad and Cripps under control
- Max King needs to remain on the field for more than 30 seconds
- keep Curnow as quiet as possible

Apart from King's fitness, which is a case of inshallah, these are all achievable IMO, so we might just manage it. Carlton really aren't all that great.

Just on the Sandy game - Half Time. Membrey kicked 4 goals in second quarter. Looks like he’s back.

Keeler continues to impress with two goals. Just needs to work on his rucking.

McLennan looks amazing today so does Peris.

Hotton and Hayes quiet.

Moose doing Moose things. 1 goal.

Campbell was huge. 1 goal and everywhere.

Paton looks the same.

Coffield not impressing. I’m expecting a big second half.

Couldn’t see Highmore. Adams doing okay.

And there probably due forca downer.

We're looking crap so far, but at least King has survived the first five minutes.

[meher baba]

Good goal to Marshall

[meher baba]

And now Butler after a great clearance. Go Saints!

[desertsaint]

c'mon fellas! bury the baggers!

[desertsaint]

make me wrong for graoning higgo

[desertsaint]

groan

[The_Dud]

Cripps killing us.

Higgins is a dumb footballer.

Butler knows how to kick a goal.

[TheGreatZacsby]

bulls*** on Jack Martin’s goal. Touched as

[meher baba]

That one camera angle wasn't enough to determine whether or not the ball had crossed the line. what a load of BS!

[TheGreatZacsby]

Hold on Caminiti there

[meher baba]

Higgins has been truly dreadful so far today.

[CURLY]

Umpires allowing our forwards to be mauled

[SaintPav]

Looked a goal.

[CURLY]

Crouch held off the ball Razor puts his whistle to his mouth then Steele headlocked still no free

[saintkid]

Every time I see Acres play well, I think of Lethlean's recruiting and list management incompetence.
