Crows v Saints match thread

[ozrulestrace]

Tim "Voice of Doom" Watson has such a tone of " I told you so..... Saints rabble"

[samoht]

For those at home Adelaide has kicked 9 of last 10 goals, basic skills gone from saints structure is gone

57-28

As long as Rooey is ok, who cares. They can have their win vs a depleted St Kilda side.
I'm sure our team won't give up, though.

Templeton doing less than a witches hat

Who thought he was a better choice than Acres?

[desertsaint]

Saints seem to have settled in the last five - but those two bull umpire goals hurt.
well done Bruce!

I agree. We will deal with this loss, but there has to be concerns on Nick at the moment.

obviously the selection committee, don't think anyone here has a say

[8856brother]

Our kicking at goal today has been woeful so far. Scores should be closer.

From what ive seen of acres and recent form ~ i would have thought acres, Richo thinks differently
To me Templeton looks to be carrying a bit of weight and has lost his explosive running speed

[SuperDuper]

adelaide were clinical when they got their run...
saints missed at least gettable goals taht quareter...
should be within 2 goals right now...

bad miss Newnes... just did not handle the pressure

[WinnersOnly]

Faaaaaaark if we could kick straight and kick it to the advantage of our forwards we would be in a lot better shape. Adelaide get two cheap high frees and kick goals out of their backsides.

Whos is playing on Jaesch?

[St Loxton]

We are still well in this. Mav doing a huge job on danger. Keep betts quiet and tex honest. Gotta keep running hard.
Go saints.

[saintsRrising]

If you take off those two bulls*** free goals to Caemeron the game is just about level.

Still the poor ball use by our guys is something that our players control.

[WinnersOnly]

Repeat sorry.when i edit a post they seem to duplicte.

[WinnersOnly]

It hasnt been reported but I reckon Roo has fractured his cheek bone ! Very poor tackling technique..l

[Bunk_Moreland]

Can someone let me know what happened to Roo and Lonie. Head clash with Roo, but with whom?

What is Lonies injury?

[Mr Magic]

From my perspective watching on tv it appeared that we were psychologically 'shot' for most of that second quarter.
It seemed to take almost 20minutes before the players (and coaching staff) got their minds back on the game.

And I know that the umpires are not 'cheats' but the 2 decisions that resulted in Cameron kicking 2 goals showed, IMHO, a complete lack of understanding of the game and were a show of total incompetence. especially in light of the many 'non-decisions' they seem to make.

Smith - both players 'subbed out.

Lonie 'subbed out' with concussion after a heavy front on (legal) clash in the first quarter.

[mullet]

geez we loose joey in the warm up and 2 players in first quarter. If we can not get smashed then we have done well I reckon.

Would love some news on Rooey.

[kosifantutti]

Roo isn't subbed out. But I'd be a little surprised if he came back.

Lonie was tough at the player didn't take a backward step, no head clash though but would have felt like he hit a truck.

Think he would need the entire EFC medicine cabinet to come back today

Believed to be mild concussion. Unlike in previous years, if a player gets concussed they tend to not let them come back on. Club Doctors have really toughened up on this.

[Pwoit]

Lonie has been subbed out for concussion.
Roo gone to hospital for possible fracture no news yet.
We are one down on bench.

Roo's gone to hospital. Precautionary xrays I imagine, hopefully nothing broken.
We'll do well to limit the damage in the second half. Being down one rotation for three quarters is a killer. Have a look at how it affected the dogs last week

[Griggsy]

Roos collision made feel a little sick, did not see him move at all being taken off. Players definitely appear distracted in that quarter and I understand why.
