Bad umpiring aside this is just poor by the Saints.

Can’t argue against that…

I am in shock at this umpiring display

The Saints DO have this… that is, they should have this, only they’re being stymied by blatantly unfair umpiring

Darcy Byrne-Jones and The Scousers.

Tbh they need to implement it the day after the GF so all clubs and players are without doubt, but I highly doubt anything will change because the don’t want players suspended, unless we get to the litigation point like we have with concussions. I would be stunned if they did anything remotely sane, but it’s interesting to me is if a Worksafe rep see a game and see someone being punched do they have the grounds to step in, or would a complaint have to be filed. The players call it a work place. I’d love it if some one at worksafe just stepped in and caused all sorts of chaos.

Ross Lyon - how long since he ran out on Freo? Hangover still? 4. Or is he on the AFL darling list?

If the Saints win this they deserve eight points. This is an uphill battle for them because they’re playing while hobbled by the atrocious umpiring.

At risk of being made a fool, I reckon saints have this. I don’t know which result is better for us to be honest

Saints should lodge a complaint about the umpiring. Disgraceful.

What difference does it make? Port were always gonna win.

First word sums it up. IF the AFL were serious about violence and assault, which this was. IF they could do it in a way that gave them enough wriggle room for their anointed darlings to get off when needed they may consider it, but if they can't, they won't. Point one - pretty unlikely in my view especially for the types of incidents discussed here Point two - the best summation yet, but again, what if Pendelberry or Cripps did this on finals eve?

This is unwatchable. The umpiring is crippling what might’ve been a good match. It’s so unfair, I’m absolutely furious and I’m not even a Saints supporter. And the hardest part about it is that nothing will be done about it.

Even if the Saints got close the umps would pull something out of their arzz to ensure these pretenders win

Do we prefer any result in this game?

Umps are terrible

Take the non goals from the out of bounds mark and Dixon's charity and the Saints would only be 3 points down right now

Why did my text style get bigger??

It's only the saints. Not Carlton or the pies

10-1 second half and another charity goal.

Not sure if a 179cm midfielder in Murray is a need for us. I wouldn't be surprised if we go for a developing talk ruckman/forward. I like the prospect of Joe Pike from Geelong Falcons. 203cm ruckman who's a big lad that gets around the ground winning possessions and has got good follow up work. His ruck craft if also pretty impressive and certainly gives his mids first use. Jasper Scaife is a 19 year old 198cm tall forward from West Perth who's kicked 8 goals in 3 senior games so far this year including a bag of 4 against Perth Demons. Would be a good forward depth prospect especially with the uncertainty around Pettys future and Jefferson not coming on as we would have liked.

If every one of those would be paid, there would be 20 more free kicks every game.

Even if it wasn't he only fully had control when the entire ball was over the line. Throw in every day.

Another [censored] goal. [censored] this is too obvious

Nothing in that either... #FreeKickPort
