Like the umpire that always calls not 15 combined with the one that never does (especially if it’s an 8 meter kick to one or their forwards from the boundary line)?
Same reason Marshall didn’t get a 50 for a late in the back and they were able to run over the mark without being punished when we marked it in their goal square. Because the umpires aren’t accountable for StKilda stuff ups.
Higgins today was out full forward and competed against three. Sure his finish was terrible when he went around the corner but at least he moved and presented. I wish he could do a body swap with King.
Agree on the rest of the message.
Can we trade him. We look so much better when he is not on the ground. He’s fallen behind Higgins and Marshall as the best full forward in our team.
Too many passengers today. That, King and the 50/50 decisions that never go our way made it a hard loss. I know it’s better for draft picks, and...
Good on Ross.
Hopefully over the next two weeks he does (1) fixture inequality and (2) the appalling deal we got at Docklands and the fact we paid that off for the AFL to the tune of 800,000 more supporters through the gates.
Then the AFL can just ignore it all at once. Again.
Thants so good. That and the fact the saints paid off the docklands for the AFL (put 800,000 more people through than the next team), yet the “big clubs” complain about equalization payments!
My tip is that we draw with the bye this week but then, three days later, the AFL overturn the umpires decision as to when the game finished and removes two points from the saints.
Mark my words, we will get no points this round, which will prove I am right. Don’t believe what they tell you to!
Well I doubt we will get the four points, score more than six goals or play Cooper, so it will be business as usual for some people on here, and all Ross’s fault! ;)
Enjoy the week off everybody.
I’m sorry, everything I have talked about has been posted or occurred tonight. Maybe don’t be so quick to thank people for posting crap. Lift YOUR game and talk about actual, not needless hypotheticals.
Ooooh! Dougal’s role…
Imagine how far out of bounds he could kick the ball after doing a dosey-doh spin with his defender after marking in the pocket and playing on! Worth staying up for!
Surely the to advantage kick into forward 50 is the most difficult in the game. Its critical. It’s also tough when you forwards seem to be flat footed, playing from behind and calling for the ball over their heads (not looking at anybody in particular). Membrey, our most natural leading forward...
Can just imagine every StKilda player in the conga getting done for holding the ball whilst every Brisbane players gets a free for in the back. 36-0 free kicks just like that! (Then the industry has a whinge that Maxi gets a cheap one whilst Hill is on the bench getting a concussion check for...
Couldn’t have put it better myself! 😳🤣
I’m hoping we put up a decent effort. I don’t think a place or two lower in the draft will make much difference any time soon. It’s only an upgrade on one player after all.
Hoping Max can move more freely and have a better match. I miss him kicking goals.
