Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 23 2021

[st.byron]

What a different experience the match thread is without constant umpire spam.

[desertsaint]

bloody umpires.

[The Fireman]

bloody umpires.

[skeptic]

Agree with skeptic Kent has been ordinary at best. He is having good game in a one sided affair

Would luv to see him play like he has today in future but doubt it

If he is in our best 22 next year we are in trouble

Sometimes this forum reminds me of Animal Farm… ppl adopt the POV of the last thing they heard/saw

[st.byron]

bloody umpires.

Indeed. Cheats. We won in spite of their obvious cheating in giving us 20 frees to 14.

[Trev from the Bush]

3 votes Steele?

Not clear cut from the umpires. He was very good but not outstanding. Reckon big Ro might have attracted their attention more.

[saintbob]

Normally they say back a metre and set the mark for a set shot

Umpire just pulled the trigger on 50

Interesting

I reckon the ump must’ve had him in his multi to kick a goal

[therabbitinthehat]

Steele is two tackles away from getting the most in a season by any player. Come on, Captain.

Did he get them?

Think so. He definitely had 7 so that made him equal and in the last ball up he laid a tackle so it's a fitting end to a fine season.

ended up at 186 (which is massive) but most ever was Scott Selwood on 202
edit: unless you're not counting finals, then Priddis is ahead of him (I think) on 188

Was that a symbolic handball by Ross to Bytel perhaps a baton of sorts???

I think the baton was already passed from Dunstan before the game

I'm only in agreement because I read this

Did they lie to me? Can't trust anybody these days!

Bytal was really good on Mundy.

Gotta love the irony.

[Banger9798]

Bytal was really good on Mundy.

It's Sundy

[kosifantutti]

Bytal was really good on Mundy.

That’s probably why they picked him to play Sundy.

That was general commentary on Kent being back in the good books for 2022

To be fair, there was only one howler against us today - that 50m penalty which should have been get back 2 metres or the mark set and the player put on an angle.

weird, they're saying he's averaging 9 a game but is actually averaging 8.5

[Jacks Back]

Well done Saints. It's nice to go out on a winning note. We had at least 7 players out which would be starting 18 so it was a good effort.

[st.byron]

Bytal was really good on Mundy.

Yeah but the umpires crucified him

Yeah they must mean regular season tackles because he got 7 today and he's on 186 and all the players with more played finals that year.

Great achievement nonetheless.

[kosifantutti]

Brad Johnson never has a good thing to say about the Saints. One of the old Saints like Baker must have wacked him at some stage.

He booed when Harvey won the Brownlow.

It is not over.

If Collingwood defeat Essendon, Fremantle can appeal the match result.
They will claim they are entitled to the win because they are powerful club, and they are entitled as they are a purple haze from Western Australia.
Besides the AFL is corrupt and there must always be a West Australian team in the final series.
