Round 9 - Other games

[mrposhman]

That was a shithouse kick inside 50 from Byrnes. Had players 15-20m to his right dead in front and then booted it long and Membrey could only give the free away.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Ratfink put the ball on the ground. That has been an automatic free since forever.

Leigh Fisher may as well not have a whistle given his reluctance to use it.

Gotta feel sorry for Higgo in someway. Demoted himself.

I dont he walked, wanted out, the way the boys reacted toward him during our last meeting said a lot for mine.

 

[TigerForce]

Aints positioning better than we did last week.

 

[tigerlove]

This game should have been over. All those soda misses. Rohan back to his best, 2 efficient disposals.

 

[Redford]

Amazing. At last a Geethrow player was called for throwing (Narkle).

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Not sure the Saints have another half in them like that one, but they've done well so far.

 

[TigerForce]

This game should have been over. All those soda misses. Rohan back to his best, 2 efficient disposals.

Yep. 8 more scoring shots. Aints look better with Paddy rucking.

 

[mrposhman]

14 scoring shots to 6 at half time. Defensively the Saints have been great. They should be well ahead not 3 points.

 

[Disco]

They should be 5/6 goals up.

 

[AstuteTiger]

We’ve got massive problems in this game of Australian Rules.

Basically, the rules just don’t apply now as they’re written.

How many times in the space of 3 mins did you see 3 holding the ball decisions that should've been given against the cats, and let's not forget the 2 blatant throws. Where are the umpires positioned, terrible.

 

[zippadeee]

One extra tall last week would've bent over Geelongs defence.

 

[zippadeee]

Gee Higgins is shitt.
How was he ever a first rounder?

 

[zippadeee]

Yep. 8 more scoring shots. Aints look better with Paddy rucking.

He is constantly tapping to Guthrie

 

[TigerForce]

How many times in the space of 3 mins did you see 3 holding the ball decisions that should've been given against the cats, and let's not forget the 2 blatant throws. Where are the umpires positioned, terrible.

Camera angle

 

[eZyT]

Some of the Geethrow players look utterly gassed ??

the richmond effect.

 

[eZyT]

Amazing. At last a Geethrow player was called for throwing (Narkle).

hes thrown 5 and got pinged once

 

[Redford]

How many times in the space of 3 mins did you see 3 holding the ball decisions that should've been given against the cats, and let's not forget the 2 blatant throws. Where are the umpires positioned, terrible.

Absolutely. This just isn’t the game it’s supposed to be anymore. It’s very clear the umpires have been told to interpret the rules in a disingenuous way and contrary to their real intent so that the game is more to Hocking’s free flowing liking. It’s so obvious it’s not funny.

Time for fans to take to the media about this, including calling the media itself out for its sycophantic ignoring of the situation.

 

[zippadeee]

Higgins and Duncan disappear as soon as the heat is turned up.
Last week Higgins held the ball, without been penalized, tonight he is getting pantsed

 

[TigerMasochist]

How the *smile* does a side score two goals ten behinds on their home deck with the roof shut? Anyone would think St Kiddenme have just moved from their old Moorabbin bog hole to Marvelarse stadium in the last week. Reckon they've pretty much wasted any chance they've got of winning this game, Moggies will hit a patch of form at some time during the game.
