This Freo Saint's game is some real bad team on bad team action.

I'll have a lot of fun death-riding Fremantle this year.

Watching Ross Lyon coached games be like

This Saints Freo game is not even worthy of a Sunday twilight time slot. Tuesday matinee at best. 
 

[BDA 23,048]

saints trying hard but ball use and foot skills very poor.

And Freo not much better. this games a hard watch.

[YearOfTheDees 3,266]

With the player the Saints have out Freo should be ashamed of themselves.

The TV keeps flashing to the Essendrug fans/cheer squad

Hard to find a better snapshot of knuckleheads and halfwits.

Today's games have been a festival of dross. Can't imagine what it would be like having to watch this stuff week after week.

You must have a really good memory Chook. I can barely remember anything prior to 2021.

So Essenscum are on top of the ladder. Vomit.

Bombers have Suns Saints and Giants to come. If round 5 Demons - Dons is a top of the table clash and we completely derail their season in the space of a couple of hours, it'll be worth it.

Temple of Doom scene where the guy has his heart pulled out and shown to him before he is lowered screaming into the lava.

Gees you’d be furious if you gave up so much draft capital for Tim Kelly. Struggle to be in the top 120 players in the comp.

[Vipercrunch 2,864]

Two match balls got nicked by some enterprising young fans at the Hawks Bombers game.  Ch7 chose to show it all to the world so every chance this will now be a thing.

[Gawndy the Great 9,011]

Freo defn not top 4 material or top 8 by todays showing. Looks like we may get that too 10 pick for Jacko after all. 

[jules7 816]

This match is cringe worthy. No pressure, heaps of mistakes and Jacko non existent.

Saints have finally got it right at the draft. picked up two ripping young forwards

They screwed us. They deserve that karma. 

Also why is Peter Bell on the bench? Is he also coaching now? 🫠

Definite micro-manager personality so no surprise.

[Chook 15,070]

So much jogging in this game from both sides, and especially from Jackson. He just doesn't want it enough IMO. His best patch in the grand final at the end of the 3rd quarter should be the intensity he should be aiming for every game.

The "New Coach Bounce" is a thing, apparently.  All of GWS, North Melbourne, Essendon and (hopefully) St Kilda with a win in round one under a new coach.

[dazzledavey36 56,346]

Fantastic win by the Saints considering the outs they have.

Jackson had no idea how incredibly lucky he was to have absolutely no pressure playing under Gawn. 
Good luck playing with zero intensity at Freo after they spent so much on you.

There was a fair bit of that as last year progressed. May rue his decision to leave. Was playing with the best ruckman and two of the best midfielders of the last decade (at least)
