Match thread. Saints V Bombers

[The Fireman]

Higgins will have a blinder

[The Fireman]

Gee I hate to see Owens kicking for goal

[meher baba]

As I predicted, the umps are already reaming us.

[TheGreatZacsby]

That over turn umpire decision f***ed us over. We were out and there was an umpire right there looking at it but gets overturned 200m up the ground a joke

[The_Dud]

Gee I hate to see Owens kicking for goal

Yeah he’s a shocker, I reckon he’s got zero confidence.

Caminiti not much better IMO

[meher baba]

If we don't start taking our chances, we're going to be stuffed.

[shrodes]

Good pressure and Bombers are falling apart

[meher baba]

Actually, I'm not sure it matters. The Essendon defence is unbelievably bad so far. Surely Scott will need to move things around.

[desertsaint]

cam - wham bam thank you mam!

[meher baba]

Back to my original prediction. Our failure to take our chances is hurting us badly.

[TheGreatZacsby]

They’ve only kicked one goal from a genuine inside 50 and not from a gift by the umpire.

[The_Dud]

I think the importance of King is becoming very apparent

[Otiman]

Just missing the conversion, should be another 3 goals on the board

[B.M]

Our forwards cannot convert - always been a problem

Should be 4 goals up

[StPeter]

Umpires killing us at quarter time.

Frees 0-5 against us including that outrageous overturn against Owens

[perfectionist]

Byrnes looked a million to one to kick that - but it was more like ten million to one.

But at last a straight kick by Owens even if he didn't hit it cleanly.

And then a dropped sitter but still a goal.

[The_Dud]

Over handballing

[shrodes]

Over handballing

Yeah being a bit cute, I don’t think we know what to do when we’re not on a fast break with an obvious inside 50 kick

[perfectionist]

Too short on the backline. Unless Roma has time to get back we are in trouble.

[B.M]

I knew Jones would be a problem

We have no defenders athletic enough for him

[The_Dud]

Our defence is just as bad as theirs

[The_Dud]

Bad kicking is bad football, is going to cost us, we never learn

[shrodes]

Ross playing very well so far

[perfectionist]

Two misses from Sharman. Giving the game away.

[The_Dud]

Pathetic
