Good result Saints, well in.

 

Bad kicking is bad football. Suffer Carlton!


3.5 minutes to go, Saints are up, ball is in their court. Still unsure who wins.

But the joy of watching the Blues choke on the Friday night big stage means my weekend is off to a great start. 

 

Wouldn’t you just love to be walking back to Southern Cross station amongst those Carlton tossers tonight!

Absolutely disgraceful umpiring. No2...does not have any idea about  distance.Totally incompetent...five mtr distances many times,and paid marks

Never had any confidence when he umpires one of our games.  Seems more interested in show ponying than giving an even go.  Someone somewhere must have data as to the free kick balance of each umpire vs each team .... I strongly suspect we would be on the far left of his ledger.

 


Carlton were quite unimpressive tonight. 

Can't help but feel more confident watching them tonight 

Now a definite chance to build a two game gap (plus %) to 3rd place.

And then next week a classic 8 point game hopefully with our two preferred rucks back and rested.

Will be interesting to see how we set up v Adelaide but hopefully we can scrounge a win with our depleted ruck stocks.  Big opportunity for Sam.

Gotta feel for the umpires here. They’ve done everything they could do, but it just wasn’t quite enough.

What a disgraceful performance it was.  Even in the dying seconds they managed to find a 50!

The saints are soo inconsistent - their best is good. Their not so best is absolutely terrible. You never which one your going to get with them


I usually switch off the game at the end but tonight I have left it on without the sound.

Does anyone ever leave the sound on when that demented disorientated walrus wanders around the rooms with a microphone - looks like a long lost uncle who nobody cares about but "had to get an invitation" at a wedding.  Garbage.

I know we are all meant to take it easy on the umpires, so to keep it fair, I will just say they were pathetic. They somehow contrived to give Carlton frees that were not there and at the same time, deny the Saints frees that were there.

WTF goal review ???    Rushed behind and no suggestion that CFC kicked it and blind Freddie could see the it was ay over the line.  Madness.

Wasn't it pointless whether it was over the line given the Saints player touched the goalpost with his other hand...

Saints with a few good ins replacing poor players. Coming off a bed few weeks the Saints will win tonight

Blues can’t keep coping with 7-8 players out and Saints look good every few weeks

You were dead right 

well played

Saints only 9 frees, very low number.

They had 6 free kicks at about the 8 minute mark of the fourth quarter.  That's barely 1.5 frees a quarter to that point.  Would have to be some sort of all time low number?

The amount of 10 - 12 meter kicks that were allowed as marks was astoundingly poor judgement from too many of the officials tonight.  If they got a third wrong i would understand.  Had to be at least half this evening.

At one stage, with no eyes on the ball until after initial contact, Cripps ran straight at Ryder in the ruck on the edge of the Saintsl's goal square.  A clear block a la Tommy Hawkins at his worst in the ruck but the ump just called play on.

And what was that goal line review.  Two umps watching, one on either side, and neither could see that the ball clearly went over or the post was touched with the other hand?

And the McKay free late in the last as Mr Leg has mentioned!??  As Brian would say in his grating whine...Wowee!

There were some patches where i thought it was great to see the whistle put away but unfortunately any good work was short lived by being over officious or just poor calls, mostly against the Aints.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
