Match Thread Saints v Swans @ Edihad Round 21

[Devilhead]

Rampe gets caught - drops the ball on the top of his knee - Swans goal

[stevie]

Yep,the umps are starting to embarrass themselves badly.

[Devilhead]

Our pressure is now non existant as is our run - blown off the park

How good has Allir been

[SydneySainter]

Disappointed this becoming a thrashing. A win was unlikely, but I would have liked us to make them earn it more.

[jonesy]

There midfield is allowed to waltz away from clearances, whilst we fumble and make hard work of it.

A glaring reality check

[Devilhead]

Our decision making in this quarter has been questionable as well

[Trev from the Bush]

In case you haven't noticed Sydney is one of the flag favourites. Our players are seeing first hand why they are. We were one of the spoon favourites, so a bit of balance would not go astray. Our blokes are still having a dip but we are being Buddied.

[Grimfang]

We seem to be the only team in the league that the "Kicking in Danger" rule applies to.

[CURLY]

When you rely on pressure in the mid field you need reward for your tackling. Umpires have not pinned Parker Hannerbury Kennedy Jack once. Just cheating.

[I love the saints!]

Exactly.

[The Fireman]

The last qr is going to be hard to watch...The Swans just too good..just hope they dont win the flag.

Pretty true. The Swans players have the strength of bulls so unless you can tackle them to the ground they will always get the ball free. And they will never get penalised.

Tackles just did not stick

[Devilhead]

Reckon the free kicks from centre bounces has been Swans 4 Saints 0

[Devilhead]

Have to question some of the Swans 15m kicks as well - they have been called to play on once i think but many more have been borderline

[Devilhead]

We got the goal but where was the free kick against Allir for dropping the ball - just incredible

[Devilhead]

Another questionable 15m kick by Kennedy that leads to a goal - Kennedys mark was on the 50m line and his pass was marked on the 50

[MC Gusto]

Billings either not right and needs time off or back to the magoos

[Devilhead]

So Papley illegally disposes of the ball in a gang tackle and he gets a free and a 50 - this is now officially a juckin foke

[MC Gusto]

My god

[stevie]

50 metre penalties are now the biggest blight in what used to be our game. Way too much punishment for trivial incidents. Need to be looked at over summer and changed to 25 metres

[saintfox]

Bauld headed umpire absolute joke !!!!

[Devilhead]

And now the Franklin 50 for ..........

[Trev from the Bush]

It would appear the umpires have completely lost the plot.

Walk off the field Saints to prevent any more risk of injuries.

He with the shaved head has completely lost the bloody plot

[saintfox]

Comontators are a joke
