Match Thread - cats v saints

[falka]

Who are paying the umpires off?
Unbelievable 50 against Riewoldt

Unreal. Sickening call. What a joke

Weller where is a replay for Christ sake?
(Reported for religious vilification??)

[sunsaint]

Weller reported - our hardest working player - it just gets better

Have to see it again but maybe ok.

In a contested situation - if his name was Hodge he would get off

move on nothing to see here - He'll walk free

[magnifisaint]

The Saints kicking is atrocious

[magnifisaint]

Umpiring Is unbelievably atrocious. They also should be dropped.

[ShanghaiSaint]

Weller reported - our hardest working player - it just gets better

nothing there will be ok. no different to few others thrown out last few weeks.

[Bunk_Moreland]

Damn - that last Hawkins goal makes it hard from here.

Dont know if we can win this one from here, but we do have the wind so you never know

[dragit]

Thank god we subbed Lee out of the game, he was really holding us back.

[1966]

We needed a good percentage reduction to keep 18th spot.
All going to plan for the number 1 pick.

[Newman]

Looks like our lowest score in 50 years??? coming up. This is heartbreaking .... yep, enough to make a grown man cry. I'm hating this.

Think it is only worth 2 goals so it maybe harder than you think.

[ShanghaiSaint]

agree onesided bulls^%t from them made the day even worse. Roo pulled down no free yeh that'll be right green maggot.

That's the spirit!

you sir are the ultimate optimist, god bless u

[8856brother]

I dont mind losing. I dont mind coming last. What I despise is being the laughing stock of the afl. ATM we are. Simple as that.

[3rd generation saint]

If we forfeit from here, would we lose by less? Our percentage less than 60%. This side is as bad as the 1986 one, at least back then we had the disco to look forward to.

havn't seen roo look so disappointed in a fair while... hope he not thinking time over.

[3rd generation saint]

1 goal in two quarters in great conditions says it all.

Good point. However that was Friday night back then. It went to Saturday night later on.

[Bunk_Moreland]

I know this is awful, but stick fat Saints.

Keep your nerve, it will be as bad or worse to come in the following weeks.

[Sobraz]

More dispirited than the Hawthorn loss. Worst effort I can remember for 15 odd years. Still haven't reached the bottom yet, by a long way it seems.

Well he's the captain, captains lead from the front not drop there heads no matter what the situation. If he's going to keep dropping his head give it to Lenny

[saintsRrising]

With the way we have played today, a VFL team would have knocked us off.

[Bazza1970]

Really disappointed with our effort today. Inexperience is no excuse for lack of effort.

[WinnersOnly]

Our sole and spirit walked out of the club with Ross Lyon - well done Nettlefold & Pelchen you tools! I understand the list is ordinary but now so is the belief and future!

Players are simply not playing with effort for the club or the coach at the moment!

[Con Gorozidis]

We are winning the contested possession count 87 to 85.

This is where I slightly question the coach. He talks a hell of a lot about effort and contested footy but the reality is there is a hell of a lot more to modern footy than those two things.
I think the Hawks are bottom for tackles.
Clearly the modern game is mainly about run spread and kicking skills.

Goooooallll Shaggggyyyy
