The match

[Lennylegs]

Gotta get up in their faces in our forward half. Did that in the second half of that quarter. This mob offers so many opportunities with how hard they push forward from the back half. Can't keep sagging back. Gotta push up.

[Winmore]

Most disappointing are the kids. We know what to expect from the older guys, but was hoping we’d get more joy from Mitchito, Phillipou, NWM and Windy.

[CURLY]

NWM has been ok.

Owens we need a lift from.

[samoht]

Gresham has started to come good ... needs to continue dancing around and bringing it in the second half.

They are missing Coniglio ... we can do it.

[BadRossco]

Teflon suggested we looked slow fact is we are slow need to recruit players with outside run and good disposal, Liam Henry maybe a good start but one swallow doesn’t make a summer

[meher baba]

BTW, I don't think the midfield has been as bad so far as some are suggesting. The main problem was up forward: GWS were running the ball out at will. In the last 10 mins, that problem got fixed, and we were able to compete.

[meher baba]

And the defence has mainly been ok, although I think Howard would have handled Hogan better than Cordy has done.

[Sainter_Dad]

Hammer subbed for Stocker???!

[MC Gusto]

Believe!!

[saintkid]

Hammer subbed for Stocker???!

Why not Phillipou??

[The_Dud]

Also GWS are kicking everything, important in a big final.

Small forwards very poor so far for us.

Small forwards a massive let down in this game for sure

Provided absolutely nothing at the fall of the ball.

[saintkid]

You need to be better than that Hill!

[meher baba]

What happened there with Wood?

[The_Dud]

Pou way out of his depth, has happened a number of times this season unfortunately.

Higgins a liability so far.

Stocker giving something.

[1965 Saint]

Has Crouch had the biggest stinker?

[The_Dud]

What happened there with Wood?

Thumb to the eye.

[meher baba]

Has Crouch had the biggest stinker?

He hasn't been as good as he usually is. But there are others - Higgins, Phillopou to name but two - who have contributed far less.

[1965 Saint]

And I know Phillipou is only 18 but he has a long way to go

[B.M]

Phillipou is so far out of his depth it’s not funny

How he’s getting a game in front of others is ridiculous

[meher baba]

Cordy too has been crap.

[The_Dud]

Feels like the difference has been they’ve made their dominant periods count, while we haven’t (apart from the end of the second)

[1965 Saint]

How many goals have GWS got from non-paid frees to us

[saintkid]

OMG that effort from Cordy. True ability and class gets shown up in a final. We are a farce!

[CURLY]

Can’t win with deplorable umpiring like that.
Two clear throws not payed both result in goals to GWS

Blatant cheating

[meher baba]

Now it's getting really ugly.
