Round 2 - Saints be Pies - Match Day thread

[skeptic]

At the risk of being the early umpire hater…
Kings getting held something shocking
I thought that should have been a 50 for Cooper after he was swing post mark
And a Saints forward player was collected from the front in our forward line by his opponent that didn’t look to get the ball to me - Henry I think?

Not loving that with the incidental frees Collingwood has had

[meher baba]

Pretty simple, just too many mistakes.

First goal was from horrible turnover.

The mistake with that one was by the umpire. Elliot didn't mark the ball.

[bobmurray]

King goals for the Saints, now only 7 points behind the Pies.

[meher baba]

And i wouldn't totally rule us out tonight. The Pies defence is looking very fragile this year for some reason I don't entirely understand.

[meher baba]

As I was saying...

[Bruce G McAbee]

Windhager is having a big quarter.

[bobmurray]

Quarter Time score,
Saints 5 - 1 - 31 v Pies 3 - 1 - 19

[desertsaint]

good stuff fellas!

[The_Dud]

Much better after the short break, kind of just surging it forward and it’s coming off.

Would be good to shut down Darcy Moore though.

[Mr Magic]

I love Byrnes’ attack on the footy but gee I wish he was a better kick

[meher baba]

The_Dud: "Much better after the short break, kind of just surging it forward and it’s coming off."

What's been extraordinary so far is how few answers the Pies have had to our surging game. They look really slow and lethargic. What's the matter with them?

[D.B.Cooper]

Free kicks 10 - 4, in our favor.

[meher baba]

I love Byrnes’ attack on the footy but gee I wish he was a better kick

He's a shocking kick. But like Clinton Jones back in the day, his poor kicking is overshadowed by the fact that he does what Ross wants him to do positionally. And his attack on the ball is better than Jones's was (and I'm not knocking Jones, who was a good honest trier).

[bobmurray]

Membrey goals at start of 2nd quarter.

[bobmurray]

Stocker cops a poorly disguised whack from Elliot in a contest.

[bobmurray]

Bonner turns it over, Pies goal.

[The_Dud]

Each of their goals is due to a horrible mistake from us.

[saintbob]

Nas’s last 3 kicks have been f****** lazy

[Superboot]

King does some weird things

[Bruce G McAbee]

Here's an idea, kick it to the guys wearing the same jumper in the forward 50.

[saintbob]

We’re are dumb with ball in hand, and now Hill limps after two very ordinary disposals FFS’

[desertsaint]

our kicking. farking heck!

[The_Dud]

They’re ripe for the picking and we keep handing goals to them

[bobmurray]

Cordy turns it over, again, Pies get a goal.

Saints = turnover merchants.

[MC Gusto]

Been a poor 10 mins, players are gassed
