Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 13 2021

[B.M]

What a disgusting spectacle

Slippery unskilled s***

[The_Dud]

What excuse will the club come out with this week?

[skeptic]

The umpires can go and get rooted

This is why I just hate freakin watching the AFL these days

Umpires ruined a good contest with incidental BS free kicks. There was like 10 of them in the last 10min and 3 that were actually there.


NO ONE WANTS TO WATCH YOU UMPIRES

They sunk us with that BS free on the goal line that wasn’t there and and just kept paying soft ones one way

I’ll cop a loss any day of the week but the freakin umpires are what turned that last quarter around

[The_Dud]

What a disgusting spectacle

Slippery unskilled s***

Crows seemed to be able to move the ball pretty well in the last, yet we couldn’t do anything.

[samoht]

We had a coach-full of passengers.

[bergsone]

f****** terrible effort,players I dont want to see again
Lonie
Hunter
Coffield
Battle
Butler
Umps killed us in the last,but thats no excuse

[saintkid]

Seriously, why be shocked? We have some of the weakest payers both physically and mentally in the competition. Feel sorry for Steele. He looked so shattered in the end.

[Impatient Sainter]

They didnt deserve to win that and got over run by a much fitter and harder running side. We have no run from our defence and as soon as Howard or Highmore win the ball we go slow and short to the boundary. The opposition just set up for the obvious kick down the line and then rebound the ball forward.

Lonie, Hunter, Battle, Long & Butler should never play again this year.

[1966]

Disgraceful.
When you think we can’t be more putrid we find anew level.

Only have ourselves to blame.

Umps give us soft frees in forward 50 (Lonie) and we butcher it.

What’s Howard doing tackling a bloke to ground for about 3 seconds after he got rid of it??

Us not being able to move the ball or hit a target had nothing to do with anybody but ourselves.

[sks023]

I don't give a f*** about this lot for the rest of the season

Thank f*** Italy looking good in the European cup.
This is what it's come to ⛷⛷⛷⛷⛷⛷

[bangaulegend]

Great effort umpires

Surprise surprise blame the umpires for our own inadequacies

[CarlD]

No structure in the forward line when it did get down there in the last quarter. Not a game for the archives

[ralphsmith]

Physically soul crushing.

[Enrico_Misso]

Pathetic effort by our club.
Pathetic effort from the umpires who got them home with some decisions that were just dishonest.

Season over.
And season wasted.

[SaintDippa]

Like I've been saying since round 3. No system of ball movement, no structures, no run past ball carrier, no clearance strategy, no F50 structure, no creation of space in f50. Everything is random .
What has Ratts taught this group over the last 6 months? We were 5.5 on the back of abismsal Crow turnovers.
Ratts and his assistants are the problem.

[Teflon]

Take all the emotion out of it
Take the blatant , pathetic umpiring out of it
We are NOT FIT ENOUGH abs that’s on the coaching panel - we looked spent , absolutely treacle
Crows deserved to win and will rise with some genuine talent while we play **** hacks
Lonie??? Higgins again in front of goal VERY gettable
We need a club review but we are too gutless abs our President and CEO are too busy patting each other in the back
Forget injuries - 36 points up against a rabble???? and can’t nail it????
Someone please tell me we don’t need to trade out pretenders like Billings to improve??
Shambles.

[CURLY]

Great effort umpires

We helped but 11-3 in the last 3 gifted goals from rubbish frees.

[The_Dud]

So what draft pick we going to get??

[scallopsroe]

What a poor effort
Looks like pick 4 in the draft. Let’s hope the club doesn’t stuff up that selection
We’re a joke

That free against Howard was rubbish

The bustling on the line happens several times in every single game.
Hardly ever paid.
It's just normal bustling with fwd trying to mark and defender trying to spoil.

[st.byron]

I tell ya. It’s much better when you stop giving a s***. I have and honestly, I seriously don’t care if they lose. In fact in the last qtr I was willing Adelaide to win.
Simply because I don’t want any more half arsed, lame,,piss poor wins that cover up just what a farkin shambles of a club we are.
Root and branch changes required. Until then they can f*** off.

[silverhalo]

If Ratts says the first 3 quarters were pleasing, I will spew!!!

[terry smith rules]

In the last quarter we had 14 players who had 21 possessions between them. Impossible to win with that stat

Is that fitness related??
