Match Thread Saints v Dockers Round 17 2022

[desertsaint]

where's curly? he'd have a lot of supporters tonight.

[SaintDippa]

Not one to discuss umpiring, but that quarter was a disgrace.
Could mention about 10. Logue's front on contact against King. What the hell. It's been a free for 125 years. Just not tonight.

[SydneySainter]

Stupid reaction by Butler. There was virtually no time on the clock and he gives them a shot at goal and the game after the siren.

[Newman]

For the first time all season ... I have turned off watching. Then I did some work whilst listening on radio. Now I have turned off. So disappointed. Win .. we are in 8 - lose we won't make it. Nor do we deserve to.

[Banger9798]

Still in it

[Winmore]

They played with dare, we crumbled. The maggots didn’t help when we fought back, Butler was I’ll disciplined but it’s hard to blame him after those decisions.

[desertsaint]

is it the anniversary of whispers in the sky or something? umps are celebrating something.

[saintbob]

Any chance we had, Butler just pissed away.

I’d almost drop him for that.

Piss off

[spert]

A shocking fairy floss effort form the Saints. The midfield look soft

[Banger9798]

This must be what it feels like to have a win - Umpires

[The_Dud]

How many scores tonight have they got from our defence sagging off for no apparent reason??

[The_Dud]

Again pathetic kick inside 50

[meher baba]

It’s hard to be critical of the team as a whole. Our defence simply isn’t up to it without Howard. And Highmore must surely have disappointed even his most avid devotees.

Unusually, our midfield has gone quite well.

Freo are a really good team. I certainly wouldn’t write off their chances of going all the way.

[Saintly66]

Gresh mate lower your eyes

[spert]

If I've ever seen a cra*p effort tonight it has been from King- needs a week at the VFL to learn a bit about hard work

[The_Dud]

When the pressure rises we just revert back to our bomb down the line / inside 50 game. Very frustrating.

[Wayne42]

We won't win a flag with this list, need to keep turning over players until we get it right.

[Yorkeys]

Are Hill and King over rated?

Jones a liability?

What a circus on your home ground playing for a finals spot

Who is in charge?

[SydneySainter]

Typical Saintsational. We were 8-3 at the break and top 4. Now, with this many games left in the season, we’re already out of the finals race and it’s the umpires fault.

[Wayne42]

Who is in charge?

Benny Hill.

[The_Dud]

Typical Saintsational. We were 8-3 at the break and top 4. Now, with this many games left in the season, we’re already out of the finals race and it’s the umpires fault.

We are out of the finals, but is 100% our fault.

[The_Dud]

Did Paddy just knock that out of Kings hands?

[The_Dud]

Lol

[The_Dud]

The way Jones attacked that ball compared to Fyfe is a great display of the difference between a good player and an ordinary one.

[samoht]

Hannebery will come to our rescue.
Good recruiting, St Kilda!!
