Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 17 2021

[DJ Higgins]

I don't think there was a weak link tonight. there was the odd clanger but overall we played like a team tonight and god it looked good. Byrnes, Highmore, Long, Dunstan take a bow. fringe players no more based on tonig

[Teflon]

Awesome win
Our best is clearly good enough
Pressure was first rate - superb
Ball movement first rate
And Jack Steele IS OUR CAPTAIN enough said!

Jeez that was a song sung with Gusto!! You can tell that meant a lot to the team!

[Ghost Like]

Luke Darcy is the most moronic commentator of all time.

Only if Matthew Richardson is removed from the voting.

[Devilhead]

Superb win!!

Great across all lines!!

Bring on Port!!

[SaintDippa]

Ryder Marshall. Outstanding. The difference.

[perfectionist]

In his first game this year (second overall) I said that Ryan Byrnes showed more than the bloke he displaced had shown in more than 80.

Tough choice...Electric Chair v Hanging???

[bangaulegend]

Best win of the year IMO . A very even spread hard to find a weak link . I might be biased but how f---ing good was Benny Long great team effort

[silverhalo]

Tommy Highmore an amazing pickup!

Richo loves the Saints....and Max King!

[Russman]

Tommy Highmore an amazing pickup!

Couldn't agree more. He's strung together a few really good games now.

[saintbob]

I'm so happy for the whipping boys, Dunstan & McKenzie. They are in rare air.

Add Highmore & Byrnes, who had those 4 names in our best 22 at Round 17, 2021?

Yep I have to dip my lid to these two, I had them as list cloggers but they’ve really turned themselves into good soldiers.
Especially Dunstan, his last month has been simply outstanding .

Love Richo even though he is not the best commentator

[The Fireman]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Long will take mark of the year and possibly goal of the year as well and to all the long knockers try and get a grasp on the caper

[Impatient Sainter]

Sensational win. Brilliant team 4 quarter performance. You could see there confidence just sky rocketing in that last quarter.

I was one who had written Dunstan off, how wrong I was. He has been an inspitation to everybody at our football club! The lad has learnt himself a new contract, congratulations.

The remarkable thing is now that he has the confidence in himself his kicking has improved exponentially.

Yeah Fireman you have flown the flag for Ben Long & tonight he turned the game from a possible win into a definite win . Keep the faith mate

[Teflon]

It’s a really good call
For all his faults Long adds what this sides lacks IMO ...but of mongrel
Dunstan has stood up here too
But Long is a touch mad and you need that
He’s got that kamakazi Max Rooke feel.... who could really hurt opponents GF and all sides need that

[stevie]

Bloody top win. I rate the Lions as prolly the best team in the comp pregame as when they are on song they are near unbeatable. But I was confident the boys would have a real crack as they match up well v the Lions. And they did

[SaintPav]

If we play like that we are a chance in every game we play.
