Matchday Thread -Saints V Brisbane

[CURLY]

I’m with Curly these umpires are disgusting.

Set the tone early.

[meher baba]

Wilkie getting a bath from Morris so far. Highly unusual for Callum.

[saintkid]

Our decision making is worse so far.

[meher baba]

The umpires are pretty bad so far. Too many free kicks in general: they need to put their whistles away.

[bobmurray]

Membrey shanks his shot on goal.

Quarter Time Score,
Saints 1-3-9 v Bris 4-0-24

[The_Dud]

Bombing long to no one

Howard and Bonner costing us goals

Saints footy!

[shrodes]

1 centre clearance for the quarter, midfield again a big issue

I agree re Bonner. Howard has made one bad mistake, but has been sound otherwise.

[TheGreatZacsby]

I’ve seen enough from Bonner. Why does RTB persist with this actual spud?

[The Fireman]

We are being beaten by a good side at the moment. I could not give a s*** about the umpires.

[SaintPav]

Need to address centre clearances and contested possessions.

Getting smashed in these two areas.

[The Fireman]

I think we are playing the premiers

[saintkid]

Senior, experienced players need to slot their set shots when the team is behind and in need of a lift. Happens far too often with scoreboard pressure.

[Devilhead]

Another slow 1st quarter stsrt

Getting annihilated out of the center and out the back of contested marking contests

2 gettable set shots missed

No favors from the umps and some inexcusable turn overs haven't helped

Howard cost us one saved a couple.

[TheGreatZacsby]

Here comes the flood gates

[meher baba]

I think we are playing the premiers

They've certainly been the best team in recent weeks.

[saintkid]

Boy are we going to be stuffed if Battle leaves and we need to rely on Howard more.

[shrodes]

Dougall poor again, if you’re going 2 man up you have to kill the contest

[The_Dud]

Home time?

[shrodes]

I’m beginning to think we won’t make finals…

[meher baba]

So Lyon gave them a tirade at quarter time, and now they're playing even worse.

[Bruce G McAbee]

Yeah, I think Brisbane have got Pur number today. I think they're the team to beat for the premiership.
It's not that we're that bad, but they're just that good.

[TheGreatZacsby]

We were never going to make finals? You can’t be for real?
