This game couldn't be more different than ours. And not just the tackles/pressure. Geelong missing easy shots. Umpires not paying them numerous frees they would have paid last week, and quite a few resulting in Saints goals. Their best players injured. Tags applied.

Indeed, last week Miers kicking it from the boundary, just then it goes left from an easier angle.

Sometime the luck just goes against you.

It's all good, your next step is acceptance.

I think Ross always had an upper hand over Scott. We used to beat Geelong more often when Ross was our coach.Even between 2016 to 2019 we beat them one time?

Pavs 300th I know we did

edit - that was in 2014 but we did beat them in 2019

The old Fremantle curse holds. Play us then get spanked because you spent all your tickets the week before.

 

[gungho]

I am beginning to think Geelong had a blinder last week. Just brought a level of intensity and tackling pressure we couldn't handle. It's a weird game - if you're 5% off in the AFL you can get spanked by an average side.

 

[Daddoo]

anyone trying to justify Ross is some tactical genius because of this game should go have a debate with Luke Jackson.

So, uh yeah, what are you, yeah, sayin' about my, uh yeah, buddy? Reckon you should, yeah, watch yourself. ok, yeah?

 

[gungho]

Can you imagine if we had NWM kicking out instead of Luke Ryan?

Ras over NWM sucks

 

[thistimeforsure]

I like the umps swinging towards play on with the line ball 15m kicks teams just chippy chipping it around is boring as shit

Should make it 20m

That free kick to jezza was terrible umpiring , none of our forwards would ever get paid that right in front of goals.when both players are holding each other

I thought a commentator on Kayo said in the first quarter that it was 9 to 6 in Scott’s favour.

Ras over NWM sucks

He is beyond likely he will head back home to SA after his contract ends.

 

[Righteo]

AFL is so weird. Geelong spend all their tickets on us last week? Saints who looked hopeless last week suddenly look amazing. Early rounds shenanigans.
No pressure coming from Geelong tonight after they break records last week. Fk sake.

There's the Kardinya effect too. They're a completely different side at home in front of rabid toothless fans and accomodating umpires.

And the same applies to the Saints at Marvel to a lesser degree.

Could also just be bc he’s at StK. I don’t think we’ve ever lost a player to go back to SA

What are you cooking?

Does losing a coach count

There was a flight risk which was discussed when he was drafted and I think that played into our decision to prioritise Ras.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Can you imagine if we had NWM kicking out instead of Luke Ryan?

Yes.

We'd still either go long to the boundary or short to the pocket.

Free kick Geelong has resulted in half their goals. I'm in shock

Saints tracking for the big choke

Higgins and Jones shat themselves under minimal pressure. Shocking leadership from experienced players

Do the saints know there is 5 mins to go ? Playing like it's 30 seconds left
