I don't think I'll ever stop being annoyed that we lost that game against Adelaide. I mean, it may be the last thing I say before I die "I wish we hadn't lost to the bloody croowwssss…"

Then I cark it.

Because the umpires cheated

Got to hand it to Clarko. he is a genius they way he plans for games. As some of the media said clarko has had 10 days to plan for this and how to beat Sydney. It is a good win. 

Jai Newcombe 12 tackles in his first game after getting taken in the mid season draft a few weeks ago. There is a kid that just wants to play footy and will grab his chance and make the most of his opportunity. 

In no way am I having a go at you personally dees189227, but I am getting sick of the clarko is a genius stuff.

He is a great coach and has clearly done well with all the flags, but I love how they beat the swans and he is a genius (you said it, but also all the papers and radio have run with it today).

Just wondering how much of a genius he has been for the remainder of the games they have played this year?

Just a little gripe of mine.

2.  Taking a mark in the forward line then walking back not facing the goals.

Don't turn your back on the play! It's like a bowler not getting behind the stumps for the fielder's throw in. Or a batsman turning for a second run with his back to the fielder.

It's so basic to the craft, it's a miracle that coaches allow it.

We also see so many players who are one sided and practically helpless on their "wrong" side. About as good on their "wrong" side as I am on my "right" side. What are they being taught?

They're also not allowed to do goal shooting practice. In case it interferes with the things that can win matches. It's upside down land.

Yes we were done over by the maggots in the last few plays, but we should never have allowed them back into range after mid Q4, with our superior fitness. 
IMO the defence looked disorganized … missed Salem more than realized.  
And overall a team only needs to be a little bit off and … bingo. 
Just hope we have learned from the experience (Goody’s “learnings”) and don’t let it happen again.

Will need to be right on song on Monday.

Colonwood will either be flat as a pancake in which case we should be relentless to boost %, or really switched on and will take a full team effort to overcome  

And, yes … Adelaide very ordinary tonight.

Easier to be a genius when you pick up players like Franklin, Hodge, Roughead, Rioli, Lewis and Mitchell in successive drafts then have the rest of the competition hobbled by the expansion teams of GC and GWS while you're on top.

I won't be convinced of his genius till he does it again.
Either with Hawthorn or some other club.

Whatever you think of him, his evolution of the flood into "Clarkos Cluster" changed the game and won flags. You don't three-peat by just being lucky.

Sure helps for my reasons above.
Also helps when the rest of the competition is hobbled in the draft and you're cherry picking players chasing success from opposition clubs.
Same goes for Geelong through the same time period.

So a six goal break cut to single digits. Can the Saints hang on?

[BDA 23,048]

I'm hoping the Crows win this. The saints fans are in mutinous mood as it is. Coughing up a 6 goal lead will tip them over the edge

[Brownie 6,086]

Umpires influencing this result too.

BS free on the goal line and then two saints players held down on the mark and the ump just brings the kick back when it should have been reversed

[Flower Magic 776]

Umpires giving Adelaide all they possibly can (again).

[sue 9,277]

Does Adelaide have the umps on a retainer

[BDA 23,048]

That's one of the worst misses ever. Just needed a point and missed the lot. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,309]

???????

Putrid

And he's just redeemed himself. sensational back to the goal kick

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,791]

Another cheap free kick

Poor umpiring 

[The heart beats true 18,201]

That’s a new low from the Saints.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

That was such a bad game.

Hilarious for St Kilda but some awful umpiring in the end.

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Well I feel less bad about losing to Adelaide now. Still 9/10 bad. 

[Chook 15,068]

No wonder we lost to this juggernaut. Crows a sneaky chance for the 8? Mathematically possible?

Agree about the goal line free but this bolded part is absolute garbage. Umpire did the right thing by calling it back.
