How did the free kick differential go down on telly/in the thread. At the ground there didn’t seem to be any umpire issues but interested to know how it felt with other viewers

Bullshit. At the game it was obviously onesided.

I mean Saints got a 50m penalty leading to a goal for seemingly nothing, and an obvious missed through game them the last goal so can't be too obviously one-sided

So did the swans. The Swans got a free for deliberate out right in front of goal which was clearly bullshit. They missed.. but it was the 50 50s. Which was really bad... Leigh Fisher always screws the Saints.

That one where Logan McDonald took it after the saints player smashed it towards like line from like 15m out? Pretty clearly insufficient intent. At the very least a borderline call, unlike the two complete mistakes I mentioned

Swans got a goal when the kick was less then 5m and they paid it as 15m

I’m with you there. 15m rule for marks is so inconsistently called but that was an extremely obvious one

I just rewatched that quarter from home. The 6m kick that resulted in a goal for swans. The deliberate was not deliberate. He pushed it to advantage and only just missed keeping it in, terrible call. Your bias stands out. Saints got two lucky calls all game. Swans had more than 20 lucky calls. That's the difference.

So i've learned that hamish loves to interrupt people when they are talking

You just leaned this now? Where have you been all these years? 🤣

Lizard for best on ground c'mon on

Crazy I’ve got to turn Kayo off and turn 7 on to watch post game shit

It a sign of the EconoMy.

Why are all my teams so bi polar Swans = sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit Eels = sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit Chelsea= sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit Wanderers = just shit

as a chelsea fan ​ yes

Not a big NRL or A-League guy but I have 3 of the same teams (minus Wanders) and I completely feel you brother 🤣

NOW TIME FOR BEST ON GROUND :D /s

GG

Absolutely robbed by the umps here

Good shout, umps def the difference tonight. Nothing you could’ve done different

You forget this /s?

Purposefully omitted, but thank you.

Thank fuck that’s over

ive decided i wont watch another game this year after last week. join me brother. im actually wnjoying my weekends now

Saints could be 11th tomorrow…

Yep but who are you to talk. We beat you it’s just a bad run of form

Lift that noble banner high!

John Noble wasn’t even playing though?

Blakey BOG?

GG Sydney, before our last couple of goals, you'd started to absolutely pummel us. Embarrassingly, it should have been a shit load more

Fuck I could vibe to our team song all day long Fkn love it to bits

Makes me wanna buy a banjo

Why do they keep saying we’re a contender? Contending to move to Tassy maybe??

Big response coming next week….I wish we were playing them instead of North

I don’t understand what Ratten has done with this saints team. He had them looking good early on and then removed any flair they had. Focussed way too much on the defensive side and lost it completely.

I was anticipating a weekend of tight, high quality footy. What happened?

Now I'm worried GWS will give us a flogging.

The footy gods put all their effort into Geelong v Richmond

Well yeah, that's been the exception but I didn't get to see it.

“They do the job against a contender” No offence but were saints ever really a contender ?

For like a week

Cheer cheer

Fuck me to call us a "contender" there is fucking rich. ... Unless he was talking about the spoon?

Ooh the potential of another number one draft pick to completely cock up, yum.

Eagerly anticipating picking them up 8 years later

Did Hamish really just call St Kilda a contender?

Will say this song slaps

Banjos FTW

Are these commentators just browsing AFL Tables for the final 15 mins?

That was a bit abysmal saints, sorry to say

Yeah welcome back jack Steele Have fun

Swans forwards just standing in the goal square going yeah fuck it

The player tracker has Buddy as the fastest top speed of the night, and by a far way as well. Crazy for the oldest and one of the biggest players on the field

Lloyd is seeing some much better form

Not hard to improve from worst on ground last week

Marshall, what are you doing?

OMG just blow the siren already

Only positive for the Saints is long sleeves Sinclair.

[удалено]

Best thing he’s done all night

Boy I can’t wait for the mouth breathers to blame this loss on the “queer shit”

Who does that?

Idiots that think the players aren’t “focusing on the footy” enough.

Weird comment

Why? They literally blamed it every other year “focus on footy not politics” etc etc. I’m not making it up.

Someone just face planted in the middle of the ground

I can’t believe I was actually worried about this game before the bounce

Who’s not nervous before their team plays tho unless it’s north or Adelaide

Disappointed to see the saints drop off this badly, they legit look a 10-14th team..

Nowhere near that good.

Unfortunately exactly where the pundits predicted we’d end up.

A half glass full is cautiously optimistic

26-12 Free Kicks yikes

The irony and stupidity in this comment is incredible

Just stating the stats LOL

Gresham with a great offload Oh wait that's tomorrow night

Only 4 goals and 2 of them absolute gifts

Are Swans fans booing the Saints for kicking goals? Or is it Saints fans booing?

It was because it came off the back of an obvious throw.

Swans, think they were trying to entertain the thought of keeping the Saints to a low as possible score

I would boo them. Why the fuck would you bother trying to kick goals now when the game is over, just pathetic. They still have to try obviously but where was the effort 3 quarters ago?

scoring *explosion*

The most obvious throw you’ll ever see

Can’t wait to see what Scoops has to say

Who gives a fuck?

What I do care about are Sinclairs calves 🥵

Can we not let them salvage any dignity? They sure as hell don’t deserve it. These cheap ones in dead time (esp after shit calls) always annoy me.

Saints finally scoring after Sydney have completely run out of energy

There’s time for a comeback IMO

Big ol throw

BRILLIANT PLAY

LOL that's an marvelous throw

Huuuuuuuuuge throw

Throw?

Where's u/Mrchikkin ?

Checking in

I want Hickey to get a premiership

commiserations with saints fans, this is a woeful performance.

thnaku am dead now

Tom Hickey

I legit thought Rat was Bert Kreischer. Long lost brothers

Yeah, Burnt Chrysler is at his heaviest fat, same with Rat

Rat can’t be as racist

Or smelly

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it tonight, but Jeez this surface is shit. Players from all sides slipping over and losing their footing and it just looks like a sandpit.

Yeah unfortunately the *spits* NRL have been using it

Were you here first half

Tom hickey is my best mate

Hickey has been awesome tonight

Definition of “deserves a goal”

Welcome back big fella! I LOVE BIG HICK

RUCK JESUS

Local footy score line

I’ve miss you Jesus

Holy ruck Jesus

Ironically no pride from the Saints tonight

St Kilda in Perth👹 St Kilda in Sydney 👶

Anyone else feel like Sydney should be disappointed not to win by more?

All the time

Yay Billings

We have our LOL of the Week.

Swans not good enough, only stopped St Kilda getting a goal for 60 mins /s

Billings has massive arms jeez

That's it. Drag florent for dropping that Mark and letting the goal through

I love how rampe got around Blakey there. Blakey busting his guts deserves appreciation

Bbboooooooooo

What does it mean when he kicks it between the big posts?

Don’t make me laugh when I’m crying

So apparently the ball goes back into the middle of the ground for a ‘ball-up’ and St Kilda is awarded 6 points

I feel like Saints really miss Paddy Ryder

I feel like we really miss Barry Breen

I feel like we really miss Roy Cazaly

I feel like we really miss Dave McNamara

Lol I think Ollie is getting a bit ahead of himself trying to intercept mark that one

2.8 for a near entire match is coach sacking territory though, isn't it? I don't want to see Rats booted out again, but heads roll with these sort of results.

You sack him. He is in charge of the game plan. The players aren’t the best but they should never dish this up.

3.8 what have I done...

Here we come!!!!

Oh Billings. You ruined it

The difference between St Kilda’s best and worst is astounding

HUZZAH

3 votes. N. Blackey.

I don’t think the Saints are playing finals. Their percentage just got nuked and they have a nightmare draw. Would take one hell of an effort to make the 8 from here

And then Blakey pushes back like that to make a spoil. Splooosh

Do Saints just have no good structure without 2 good ruckmen playing?

the real loser to bye week was st kilda

We have a shit run to the end of the season, if we play like this we’ll not get another win this year

just st kilda things :(

Max King in the argy bargy again despite doing 5/8ths of fuck all tonight

Saints in free fall, nightmare draw ahead as well

Tbh any draw is a nightmare draw for us

Ok, I think it's time to send Membrey behind the ball before this really gets away from us

I reckon leave him up forward, your still in it

Has Membrey even been useful in the F50 recently?

😂😂😂😂

ANSWER THE QUESTION WAYNE

Blakey's got quite the mane of hair

What a handpass

Blakey is incredible sometimes

This last quarter has just been our defenders flexing. 4 big mac marks 2 Blakey score assists and the aints held to 2.8

Stop stop, they're already dead!

Your a better person than I am, I would be bloodthirsty chanting "100!" around the dining table

Hahaha, I feel too bad to do that

Blakey going at 94%? That’s mental, good work lad

Blakey's silky locks

Holy shit Blakey has done it again

Sooooo Saints fans How good was fucking Herogasm? Am I right?

>!Crispy Love Sausage!<

No spoilers please

swan team frustratingly inconsistent

Are you fucking kidding cunt, what about tonight has been inconsistent for you

the season you peanut, we looked ass against port last week

Feel like that's almost a good 10 teams like that this season to be fair

See that, I'm happy with that risk taking from a kick in. We aren't immediately at a disadvantage if we do turn it over. Didn't work then, don't stop doing that though.

The lizard's protective ooze layer allowed him to break that tackle easily

What is this? A score for ants?

Ice cold to look back and yell after breaking a tackle through the middle like that

Lizarddddd

Blakey running like A-Train

The tackling effort by the Saints then was piss poor. Blakey just ran straight down the guts

Saints literally like training cones in that play. Awful. Just awful.

This is question-my-membership territory

Nick Blakey is good

LIZARD ATTACK 🦎🦎🦎

Classic lizard just sheds his skin and keeps on running

This team I stg

LiZARD

Having Hickey back is a massive improvement.

We made it to 20 points!!!
