Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 13 2023

[Otiman]

How have our 3rd quarters been this season so far? From memory not great.

[Teflon]

Ross 7 touches, 4 contested
Steele 8 touches, 2 contested

[Sainternist]

Steele is a shadow of himself

He’s been like this since coming back from the broken clavicle. He can’t seem to even lay a proper tackle anymore. It has me wondering if he’s playing in pain.

[Ghost Like]

Small ground and with the likes of Crouch, Ross, Byrnes & Steele kicking the ball inside 50 on the SCG, our marking forwards have no hope...this then filters down to our crumbers because our talls aren't given an opportunity to at worst set up a contest.

Quite bizarre we are within two goals & quite sad we are praying that Owens takes the game by the scruff of the neck.

[SaintJohno]

Yeah, pretty dissapointing. Can't say I've seen Jack Steele look less on. Not sure what the solution is. Sports psychologists?

[Sainternist]

Francis is a massive twat!

[George27]

Whatever criticisms one has of Butler, it cannot be denied he is a team player

[skeptic]

I don’t like this strategy of moving the ball fast in to the forwards

Can’t keep up

[ace]

Wow did you hear those outside clearance contest numbers ?
Ross Steele Crouch our experienced mids absolutely **** all 0 or 1 ????
Where are our experienced mids???
We have neglected drafting A grade mids for a decade it’s now coming home to roost
These guys right now are not up to it - Swabs missing 2 of their best mids??????? WTF

Bontempelli and Petracca are doing great but then a group of clowns did not want them.

[Otiman]

Steele looks a different player in the first 2 minutes.

[skeptic]

Geeez dangerous tackle is the worst free of all time

[Sainternist]

“Dangerous tackle” ????? WTF!!!

[Sainternist]

Geeez dangerous tackle is the worst free of all time

That was holding the ball every day of the week! Worst call!

[skeptic]

Gotta say Ross has started the third well

[Brunswicksainter]

Cannot believe what max rooke and co are doing to our game. I wish someone in the media would go after them.

[bobmurray]

owens goals.

[desertsaint]

thank god for the young guns

[Sainternist]

Mitchito!

[Bruce G McAbee]

What a ridiculous decision against Butler, well done Owens.
Keep it up guys, this is more like it.

[Sainternist]

thank god for the young guns

Seriously, our rookies are the ones playing like leaders

[Devilhead]

Lost track of amount of times Hickey has held Marshall or put his arm around his neck

[skeptic]

I think I’d sub Higgins now

[Sainternist]

Umpire Peter Dutton is killing us

[Otiman]

Clearly dropped the knees for that free kick. Not a good look.

[MC Gusto]

Can’t blame the umpires tonight
