Match Thread Saints v Dogs Round 2 2023

[SaintPav]

Wasted opportunities. Frustrating.

Dogs were always go to come back and the umpires look after them, always.

[B.M]

Higgins and Owens are average to poor kicks - never will reliable


Kicking i50 has been atrocious for two weeks

Record numbers of opposition marks inside 50

Lowe the fkn eyes!!!!

[Otiman]

Need a lift in the second half from Higgins and Gresham.

[B.M]

Really sloppy tackling by Hunter

He is so unfit, he’s slow!!!

Cordy is in embarrassing shape

[DJ Higgins]

At game and it was a huge momentum swing. Long bombing is very noticeable and dogs are now set for it. Still leading but Ross better have a plan b after half time. I wouldn’t activate sub until late in third qtr in case we need it

[SaintPav]

Second half could get very fugly.

[Winmore]

Higgins or Butler orf

Windhager on.

I agree, the long bomb didn’t work with Ratts or Richo and our forwards are pygmies. WTF?

[CURLY]

Umpires swung the game the WB way which is so predictable

[B.M]

Bring on Windhager

Clamp on Bailey Smith

Get rid of Butler - again

[Rubyjo]

Just lacking tall forward options should be 6 goals up

Yep, those two shots killed our momentum. A minute later, Owens was literally walking to catch opposition players. I still say he's a dud. He doesn't want it enough. But, I hope he proves me wrong.

Bontempelli was the main difference in the last 5 minutes. And we were getting four to two at contests. That changed. I can't see us winning as they have marking forwards and we don't.

[The_Dud]

Poooooouuu!

[Trev from the Bush]

A thumping 3rd from Poo to get the ball rolling.

Reeks of quality.

[The_Dud]

Costly error from Sinclair, usually so good

[CURLY]

Amazing when that’s not getting awarded a mark to StKilda.

[The_Dud]

Needed that one

[The_Dud]

Get Butler off.

[CURLY]

There is the difference.

West marks the ball that was clearly out on the full then throws it away. No 50

Wilkie head ripped off umpire ball up

Hill clearly held umpire allows it Smith runs off

[skeptic]

I will say this for Butler… his issue isn’t effort and I love watching him be the one that kicks into F50

[The_Dud]

Love the young blokes backing themselves in front of goal

[st.byron]

Curly if you want to repetitively comment on the umpiring please start a separate thread.

[skeptic]

Cone on Owens

[perfectionist]

Good tackle by Owens - should have been rewarded.
