Saints and Dogs look ordinary

We would’ve beaten either of these two.

There's only one player on the ground with the surname Howard. So why do the commentators refer to him as Dougal Howard every time they call him?

Same with (Easton) Wood, (Caleb) Daniel   ...

Too much time on my hands?

 

evens out when compared to 'the bont' and other familiarisations

Big step up to the top four from these two teams, never been more evident

[BDA 22,693]

saints choking here

[Beetle 4,579]

Bruce is absolutely putrid.

[Jaded No More 68,839]

Both teams making up numbers. Richmond will destroy Saints next week. 

[doc roet 1,287]

That last 10mins was the only time worth watching.

[Return to Glory 8,411]

Why all the negativity? I thought that was a very watchable game. The end was brilliant.

[dl4e 5,851]

Hope West Coke win. At least I will have picked 1 winner. I also hate the filth.

[dees189227 12,361]

What a great game. Saints nearly stuffed it but happy for them. But they have no chance against Richmond if Ryder isn't available. 

Now we just need west coast to thrash the pies and the storm to win and it will be a good weekend.

Ryder hamstring. Poor guy in the last few minutes to. That's just shattering.

nice! tight game but lacklustre on the box; how is it at the ground?

Was high pressure and the come back by the dogs was priceless. Made for a great game for an independent supporter. 
Saint supporters would have been [censored] themselves at the end.

Happy for the Saints to win however they led by as much as 4 goals with 11 minutes to go in the last quarter and hung on to win by 3 points. It reminded me of Melbourne  you just knew that the Dogs were going to make a last ditch effort somehow the Saints hung on.  Heart  wrenching stuff for  the  Saint supporters.   

[Fork 'em 6,983]

Well there ya go.
I switched it off with about 7mins to go when the Aints replied to Noughtens goal.

Any chance to name check Dougal from The Magic Roundabout is okay by me.?

Hardwick was whinging again! 

Said tigers were undisciplined in giving up 5 goals from frees and 50m penalties while saying the umps were 'trigger happy' and they should let the players play.

His team showed complacency and arrogance before the bounce and played that way.  Got what they deserved.

Hardwick is up there with Scott on my disliked coach list!

Yes, but what does Mrs Hardwick think about the situation? I respect her opinion more than her husband's.?

On the subject of Bruce - what the [censored] is a "hat trick" doing in the lexicon of our game?

@Rab D Nesbitt?

@Skuit?

@Wobbly Bob?

Gents, doyens, pedants,  is it appropriate language?

Yeah not sure why hat trick has come in recently. Maybe coz scoring 3 is a big deal these days?

we have brought in so many annoying Americanisms like lace out and three peat, maybe they are starting on bring in European phrases now??

[DubDee 25,438]

Gotta feel for Ryder. Played a brilliant game. 

32yo won his first final ever. Then does his hammy in the last few minutes. 

You couldn't script it

[BDA 22,693]

Big Cox looks switched on tonight.

[layzie 33,728]

Big start for the Pies

fully engorged and he stands erect under the high balls

[dees189227 12,361]

Ugh this is what I was afraid of with collingwood. They have the ability to stand up and perform well when they aren't rated. 

Come on west coast. By the way Nic Nat missed a few easy tackles in there. 

[John Crow Batty 8,860]

Cox psyched himself up by convincing himself he’s playing against MFC.
