Match Thread Rnd 9 Saints v Bummers @ Etihad

[Con Gorozidis]

The good news is the Bombers are yet to put in a 4 quarter performance.
Saints already planning on the using the 'tired after WA trip' as an excuse.
Given WA sides have to travel every 2nd week it is a weak excuse.

Ross is very impressive- cool under pressure

[MC Gusto]

Bruce had a great couple of minutes there

[Devilhead]

One good aspect is that we are absolutely shiteful yet still in front

A small improvement should see us home comfortably

[bigcarl]

Great play Ross and Paddy

[MC Gusto]

Ross what a goal!

The two step shuffle!!

[Con Gorozidis]

Seb Ross BOG.

[Devilhead]

Need to put a stop on Tipungwuti

[bigcarl]

Well we've had more of the play but lead by only 10 at half time. Got to put it on the board

[MC Gusto]

Very disappointing first half. We could get done here

[Devilhead]

Roo apparently pissed according to radio report

Watch us come out and smash them

Hope they get a rocket at half time. We look horrible. Hope it's not close at 3/4 time.

Very scrappy game we look lackluster poor disposal again if u can't hit targets u won't b a good team

[The Fireman]

good thing we aren't playing a good team otherwise it would be another week of embarrassment

what has happened to the side to cause this form reversal ????

[Griggsy]

Bruce getting a case of the kosies

Love Tipu.

[SainterK]

Unsure.

That's the word I'm going with to describe mindset.

The way we're playing I think 3 quarters of the team is pissed! Explains how badly we're going. Hopefully they sober up at half time as this is hard to watch.

[skeptic]

Hmmm... At half time the AFL still hasn't been able to find a highlight for its app

Being thumped by 100 points wouldn't have helped.

What is Riewoldt doing in the forward line when we have Paddy, Membrey and Bruce. FFS leave him on the wing

And if it isn't kicked to him there's the old habit of arms flapping creeping in. It happened after Jack Steven kicked it to Armo in the pocket (who was on his own by the way). It really doesn't do anything for the team and if you want to educate or teach or provide positive energy then stop flapping Roo. It's a distraction to the team's focus. It's negative energy and after it happened we didn't score for 5 or 6 minutes in the early part of that quarter.

The other thing is that Roo is trying to criticise a guy like Steven for an errant kick when his old mate Joey has had half a dozen of them and his other ol' mate Gilbo is having a mare. Steven is working his butt off and one of our best so far

Maybe after the auskick

[kalsaint]

Actually the whole fkn team needs to learn how to kick straight

+1

[kalsaint]

Looks like a game between two struggling country footy teams- midfield playing from behind and not getting onto the loose ball quick enough..thank goodness we're not playing a good team as it would be ugly.

Just like last week you mean?

I would have thought that would have been a reason to boost the side this week.
