Eade lashes Thomas over 'ugly' tag

[RodgerFox]

Given that fact, wouldn't you think the St Kilda players would have been ready for that on Friday Night?

Yes.

Exactly.

To blame the coach is wrong.

Physcially, the players were beaten. I think it's as simple as that.

If St.Kilda ran as hard and won as many contests as the Bulldogs the flood wouldn't have been a factor.

They didn't, and were beaten.

 

[bozza1980]

There is no question the better side on the night won.

The way they responded the only two times they lost the lead, especially the second time with two minutes to go, was fantastic.

What Thomas was right about was it was an ugly match, however that isn't the reason the saints lost.

 

[mighty_west]

Yes.

Thats fine, maybe Grant Thomas shouldn't be having a dig at another team's coach and JUST saying we were beaten on the night an keeping it at that, but he didn't, he couldn't help himself and just made himself look like a bit of a Jackass.

A tad maybe, but it was definately a very exciting game, and i'm pretty sure the excitement EASILY outweighed the ugly-ness.

Again, perceptions are an amazing thing. I didn't see it like that at all.

 

[mighty_west]

I saw it like that, the press/commentators saw it like that, Eade saw it like that, JeffDunne [Saint's Big Footy] supporter saw it like that.

 

[saintsrule]

Let's all just reserve our judgement until round whatever it is when it's all for real!

 

[saintsrule]

Did thomas call eade ugly, how unkind!

 

[sainter]

It's just bizarre that Thomas is so closely scrutinised.

Exactly

 

[mighty_west]

Did thomas call eade ugly, how unkind!

Exactly, that's what i thought.

 

[The Fireman]

You have a list the envy of most clubs

Don't think that isn't lost on me . to see all those green faces on opposition supporters at every game, aahhhh...luv it. Thanks Frostie for your honesty.

PS couldn't give a rats toss what any of the coaches say after a game, except for sheeds, he cracks me up.

 

[what the!]

a better team on the day, yes.

No, not a better team on the day, a better team!!!!!

 

[The Fireman]

No, not a better team on the day, a better team!!!!!

so you are tipping the Bulldogs will do better than the Saints this year?

 

[what the!]

so you are tipping the Bulldogs will do better than the Saints this year?

No. My bad. I thought they were talking about the Bris Lions Qualifying Final from last year in the first week when the Saints got done.

I have got to get out of this office

 

[m.diddy]

What time did you leave the G last year when you lost to the dogs away from Telstra? Where you have a poorer record.

i left at the end of the game, i'm no fair waether supporter

 

[team_x]

I love watching them file out of TD at 3/4 time muttering not very nice things about St Kilda.

That's why we're all so glad that th GF is played at the 'G'. No telstra Dome, no St. Kilda.

 

[The Fireman]

do you have an ergonomic chair?

 

[team_x]

He did it in ONE BLOODY GAME!!!!

Eade has made a career out of it.

Was easy too with Plugger in the goalsquare on the SCG.

Actually, he tried the following week against the Pies and got flogged. Tell us, what's it like being born with one eye?

 

[starkravenmad2]

Christ, when you've got plugger in the goal square it doesn't take Einstein to work out you clear the forward line (especially on the SCG). And he's a master coach? WTF???

if the above crap true how come a heap of saint coachs couldnt do the same and get them in the finals when plugger was there
well einstien?

 

[JeffDunne]

Actually, he tried the following week against the Pies and got flogged. Tell us, what's it like being born with one eye?

I stand corrected. A couple of games.

Doesn't change my argument one iota.

 

[JeffDunne]

We played our home games at Waverley. Big difference in size to the SCG.

FWIW, I don't rate any of the coaches we had when Plugger played for us.

Laidley after Rd 20 last year?

 

[The Fireman]

Laidley after Rd 20 last year?

Yeah but Sheeds acts crazy, Laidley is.

 

[dogupya]

A ship without a rudder the Saints.

It's backyard or kiwi cricket stuff.

I'm not playing if you bowl so fast! It just not fair.

funny

 

[Grimfang]

That's why we're all so glad that th GF is played at the 'G'. No telstra Dome, no St. Kilda.

Which is why we flogged Sydney at the MCG in the semi-finals, in atrocious conditions.
