[Sainter_Dad]

They are told to go back Certainly didn’t seem to be enough time for the umpire to ask him twice
Has a quick trigger finger for 50s

Did not call him back

[The_Dud]

Any chance Windy can go to Daicos??

[The Fireman]

Both teams wasting a lot of opportunities, both teams turning the ball over a lot, who tidies that up first will run away with this game.

Still feel we’re lucky to be only a point down.

Massive pressure from both sides

Very harsh!

[CURLY]

Four frees in a half four.

We are a good side
We aren’t playing at the MCG
We aren’t getting belted

Yet 4 frees to 10.

Blatant marks called not 15.

Umpires are gifting Collingwood.

Yeah but some of those kick turnovers we’ve had were under little pressure, just bad execution/decision making

[StPeter]

Paton has to learn not to kick into the man.

Twice it created scoring opportunities for Collingwood including a goal.

Maybe Gresham too from his scarce possessions.

[AuckSaint]

Wilke and Battle saved the day a number of times. 30 disposals between them.
This is tight - think we’ll find out how fit both teams are

[Banger9798]

Got to put the clamps on Daicos

[StPeter]

Frees 10 to 4 against the Saints to half time.

Hopefully the umps try to even it up a bit in 2nd half.

[CURLY]

Got to put the clamps on Daicos

Running behind a player that marks it hardly a tough gig.

[King Max]

Both goals from frees.

Second one was a mark plus 50 meter penalty

Ah ok, an umpire-assisted goal.

Was the 50 legit?

I didn’t notice whatever it was for. Possibly another technical decision.

Second Collingwood player came in and knocked the ball out of Hunters hands after a mark

Was that the Butler 50?
The guy was told to stand and didn’t for Clark.

Spot on
2-3 times we were going forward
Handball at feet ball hits pie player between 2 saints
Byrnes skill level by foot…in games like this when it’s tight these guys hurt u

Yep
Wat Bing him closely really he’s there Brad Hill gets a lot of touches running behind mark/free kick play…
Doesn’t do a lot in congestion
Is Gresham playing?

I wouldn’t count on it. They look after the Filth.

[Trev from the Bush]

Carborundum time. We are 1 point down on the scoreboard but I feel we are gerring on top.

Grind them into dust boys!

[asiu]

oh well

beat the maggots as well as the filth

very do-able.

forget the spilt milk ... get the job done boys

[The_Dud]

Well looks like the mistakes haven’t dried up over half time!

[bigcarl]

We are getting nothing

[MC Gusto]

The frees are rubbish

[MC Gusto]

And lack of frees being paid

[The_Dud]

Just hanging on I feel…

[bigcarl]

Bit of dissent among the umpires. Lol

[The_Dud]

Leigh Fisher, always a Saints man
