Saints v Dees - MATCH THREAD 7:10pm

3rd generation saint · Sat 30 May 2009 9:27pm

We've lost our mojo guys, we haven't played well since the Collingwood game.
Unfortunately think gardiners got a two week break coming up.
They lack enthusiasm out there and we are not putting any prssure on Melbourne.
If they don't come out and belt Melbourne in the 2nd half, some serious questions must be asked.

Thank god Hayes is playing.

Raph is terrible and Gram just refuse to chase and put his head over the ball.

Making crap look good.

Terrible, worst half of the year. Expect a better second half reckon Lyon will go right off.

Agree Dwayne Russel is an absolute idiot.

He should concentrate more on the game then the irrelevant facts that have nothing to do with anything.

I think he'll probably just cross his fingers to be honest.

He relies on the stars, and if they don't perform then the team doesn't. Lyon needs to teach some of the other guys to be able to create play.

Raph is playing like a magoo he needs to be benched for the second half and sent back to the magoos.

He has cost us at least 3 goals trough fumbles, not knowing what to do, running himself into trouble, looks so lost.

Reminds of a young guy called Raph Clarke who played for us a few years ago.
Yes he has gone backward big time.

Gardiner umpire free kicked it but did not report.
Tried too hard to shepherd but arm and elbow seemed to make high contact.
Wont be deemed deliberate but may be deemed reckless.

Very ordinary effort to half time. I believe the commentators on Austar want the Dees to win. Very biased call. Screw em all. Go Saints.

Sam23 · Post: # 748462Post **Sam23** » Sat 30 May 2009 9:36pm

2 weeks for Gardiner.

Hopefully life for Raph. Fumbling that ball meant Dees got some momentum.

nah, the surface gets so duey at night up there at night.
you can say what you like but the truth is that the surface is not right for night footy.
unsafe.
D-E-W-Y FFS lol

What has the dew got to do with the surface anyway? Is thre some sort of magic grass that doeant get wet when dew lands on it?

i will spell it out for you numbnut:-
dew is the reason sydeny only play two night games at the SCG. certain surfaces do not cope at night. the hallowed turf at the SCG is an older turf (does not cope [gets very duey]) carrara is the same [old turf]. new turf does not due up in the way that old turf does. the older the turf is the dueier it gets.

3rd quarter commences
dees clear and goes to a contest - bate v Blake

ball cleared to our fwd line - Roo marks..... and goals

Gabba · Post: # 748471Post **Gabba** » Sat 30 May 2009 9:41pm

Roo goals.

Nattens · Post: # 748472Post **Nattens** » Sat 30 May 2009 9:41pm

Nick Riewoldt goals 56-42 St Kilda.

And yes, Raph Clarke should be dropped back to the reserves.

starsign · Post: # 748473Post **starsign** » Sat 30 May 2009 9:42pm

can we really afford R Clarke in our 22 ?
Me thinks not!
he played half a good game or 2 late last year ....after carrying him for many many shockers ....now he doesn't gel with our 09 team and the way we are playing at present
Thats it for me....he's gotta go
Yep and he may pop up and do a few good things second half or even do something out of the blue that wins the game for us ...but even so he's had it for mine!!
Rather persist with a young gun with potential than the well and truly tried R Clarke

Devilhead · Post: # 748480Post **Devilhead** » Sat 30 May 2009 9:46pm

Another let off for the Dees - Roo's kicking is either great or shocking - no in between
