Match thread v Eagles

[Con Gorozidis]

Our club will meekly go along with this and say nothing.
We are f****** paupers.
We are like the lowest caste slaves who just get f***ed in the ass and say 'yes thank you master'.

[Statsman]

I'd love to play West Coast in a fair fight - just once!

[SydneySainter]

I'm just as livid with the umpires as any on this forum.

But, it was ours to win and we lost it. So many missed shots at goal our and forward structure broke down in the last qtr. We only have ourselves to blame.

Still, the Weagles needed a combo of us shooting our selves in the foot and the umpires to get them over the line. I'm looking forward to the next time we play them.

Joey looked cooked after the siren

[SemperFidelis]

Seriously. The
Commentary in the last 5 minutes has been a disgrace. We have an attitude problem? Are you serious? We have a travel problem? We lead for 90% of the game and did not get smashed at any time.

[Wayne42]

How can you win when you kick 1 goal 2 to 5 goals 3 in the last quarter..

They tried, but, still shite..

[mullet]

that goal reversal was so costly. would of been our biggest lead for the game and the weagles were on the ropes. That was the moment I knew the umps would decide the game. nothing will happen. This game is so contrived. Look at the drug cheats and their soft draw. AFL making it up to them. Gotta look after the big clubs

[Kate]

Blew it!!!!

Could have been a great win, but as usual, skill cost us

Had our chances

Forward line pretty average, with that much dominance

Btw
Well played Lonie

Kicking at goal a factor. But the umpire handicap much more influential. An even playing field would have yeided a far different result.

You can't kick 19 points and blame anyone but yourself, really. Spewin'.

[Con Gorozidis]

carlisle hasn't been the big intercepting marker we would have hoped so far

He is so slow.

never gunna happen

[Bluthy]

Our deeper problem bobbed up when we stopped running so hard and couldn't chain possessions via linkup - then we found it almost impossible for individual players to hit targets and let us keep the ball for a bit and take the heat out of it.

well said, i saw it as well we where gassed again, egales ran over us...

2nd major issue 18 behinds.

great slog by the boys well done, heartbreaking we couldn't hold on.

[Con Gorozidis]

13-19 is terrible kicking.
Terrible.
Only have ourselves to blame for that crap.
Billings another game with zero goals. 44 games. 28 goals. Garbage.

Was always going to be really rusty after a year off. The only way to get genuine fitness and touch is to play serious AFL games. Needs a third of the season before we'll see him at his best I reckon.

[shrodes]

We need to come out next week and belt the Lions by 100 points, put the rest of the league on notice and build confidence for the rest of the season

[Enrico_Misso]

Great win to the cheating <edited by mods> 23 to 8.

<warning for homophobic language>

[mullet]

just go check out the stats. the frees to their forwards is like having an extra man on the ground.

Contrived, this business is just contrived and full of drug cheats and drug addicts

footy is a hard biz, watched the bont on friday night. Had that thought come in shiit he could have been playing for u...

[kosifantutti]

So... Giles drops the ball in a tackle, play on.

He then lays a finger on Lonie? and Lonie misses the kick...incorrect disposal.

Pretty much sums up the umpiring for the night right there.

Giles actually took it out of the ruck. One of the worst decisions of the night, but there were plenty to choose from.

[Saint_J]

Lonie played a good game
The Gresh is a star, sky's the limit.

[CURLY]

We had momentum continually stripped from us by blatant cheating. How can you explain not paying hands in the back then he goals the umpire was right there. f****** cheating.

[Bluthy]

I reckon we raid Gold coast for fast, classy mids and/or a good young tall back - they will all want out of that shithole club.

[lynxgrrrl]

Massive improvement Saints, on the road. The commentators keep saying our kicking.... but they questioned every ungiven frees. Heartbreaking.

[Ape_Man]

Umpires smiling as they went off. Looking forward to their line up for 20 odd polishes I guess.
