Match Thread Saints v Lions Round 13 2020

[saintbob]

Very ordinary start, very lucky they kicked like s***.

Max looks half asleep and except for Steele we’re getting smashed in the middle.

I’m still worried there’s no Plan B, the Lions are sitting there tall defenders 20m out from our goals and we’re kicking it straight to them every time.

[skeptic]

On the umpiring, when you’re not attacking the contest and you’re not first there you’re unlikely to get frees

We need to get the ball, carry it and kick it to leads or contests that are at least even

Way too much helicopter passes and way too much cute short BS

[Saintmatt]

Boy Ross’ disposal is just awful

2 free possessions off half back = 2 direct turnovers

Doing an ok job on Neale but is a liability with ball in hand. Terrible floater under no pressure over Hind’s head was an absolute shocker.

[bigcarl]

Forward line looks shambolic. Long bombs to Max King isn’t going to cut it against a good side like this

[The_Dud]

Hill

[desertsaint]

hill needs to trust his shooting.

[The_Dud]

Compare their ball movement out of 50 to ours

Compare their entry into 50 to ours

Chalk and cheese

[CURLY]

When did the rule change that allows defenders to push you in the back?

Is this a Brisbane only rule

[bigcarl]

They should be six goals up.

[desertsaint]

come on saints!

[skeptic]

Nothing fancy about that goal... kicked to a lead, strong mark and good kick

[shrodes]

When did the rule change that allows defenders to push you in the back?

Is this a Brisbane only rule

Last year

8. Marking contests

The ‘hands in the back’ rule interpretation has been repealed so a player can now place his hands on the back of his opponent to protect his position in a marking contest, provided he does not push his opponent in the back.

[CURLY]

Another two motion shove from Andrews

[desertsaint]

there tou go. punish their wastefulness.

[shrodes]

Good effort to get back in front

[The_Dud]

Straight kicking makes a difference. On our side for once.

[roskilde]

Good spell of dominance and clever from the Butler.

Come on Saints.

[Enrico_Misso]

Good finishing.
Back in this.

[kosifantutti]

Great defence in the forward half. Pinned them inside 50 until they turned it over.

[Enrico_Misso]

And the "deliberate" is obviously not a focus this week!

[skeptic]

Kent = absolutely non-existant only to bob up and kick an important goal out of nowhere

Don’t know whether to love or hate this

[Enrico_Misso]

Very stiff on the full.

[kosifantutti]

Couldn’t see the high tackle even in slow motion.

[The_Dud]

Andrews is killing us, gotta give King a chance

[bergsone]

unlucky Long
