NON-MFC: Rd 03 2023

[Jaded No More 68,915]

So Saints are first on the ladder at 3-0 and Geelong are second last and could be last if they lose tomorrow. 
What world is this?

[Rab D Nesbitt 8,367]

Looks like those hard fought wins against umm, Hawthorn and Gold Coast have taken their toll on the Bombers. 

Happy that the Saints get to celebrate being rubbish for 145 of their 150 years. 

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Impressive by the Saints to be 3-0, their injury list is ridiculous. 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,834]

St Kilda are playing finals this year.

They have a laugher of a game next week Vs Gc at Marvel to start 4-0, and they’re only going to get better with Steele, Billings, King, Membery and Coffield to come back.

Now I’m not saying they’re a flag contender, but then again was anyone saying we were a flag contender after our round 3 2021 win over GWS?

[layzie 33,805]

Well there you have it.

Feels slightly similar with a comparable buy in factor.

Cripps was allowed 38 seconds to take that shot lol

Mostly Carlton players we’re given 38 seconds to incorrectly dispose of the ball - “play on”.

Essendon is putrid, regardless of ball use.

Did you see the last quarter? He was pathetic.

Good to see her still sooks it up at his teammates too.

Rankine or Thilthorpe could’ve easily won the medal over Dawson.

Some game by Mason Wood 

Yes, his kicks inside 50 were superb.  Ross may have even cracked a smile for one or two of those

[Clintosaurus 7,849]

Given Carlton could not make the 8 last year with a good serving of umpires help, the maggots have upped their level to guarantee it.

Agree. They hadn’t kicked a goal in the second half up until the point where the most pathetic and game changing free you could imagine was paid, for dissent. It was demoralising for the Giants and stopped them cold. It was also one of many wrong calls, all the Blues way, paid by the umpires in that last quarter. Blatant frees to Riccardi straight in front and Hogan also a few metres out were ignored. Then soft ones paid to the Blues.

I thought Garry Lyon was going to collapse, he was so angry at the dissent game changer call. It came after a blatant dropping the ball against McKay was ignored.

Kingsley and the Giants must be seething.

Pretty rich tbh of some of you to talk nonsense about the saints being rubbish forever. We were in the same position only 3 years ago and should have sympathy. 

They're playing brilliantly with an enormous injury list. To the point where I'm not sure I would be bringing players back (other than Steele) once they are healthy...this collective buy in and balance is so hard to capture.

Their only concern would be how early it is to be humming this well. But in the very least they should now be aiming for top 6.

If we don't win it this year, I hope they do.

i don't get the fuss. the ump was only following orders to get the baggers over the line

And should have. Just goes to show midfielders win everything. Thilthorpe kicked 5 and basically won the game and Rankine was doing everything

Gold Coast are the type of team that will get an early lead but have it chipped away all day only to be crushed in the last quarter.

[mauriesy 7,296]

Lots of "chipping away" needed when you're 72 points up at 3/4 time!
