Roos by 27

[Nubby]

Hard game to tip, St.kilda not in the best of form comming of a win in one of the most boring games of TV to ever grase Friday Night Football.

North playing some good football, very nice win over my hawks :mad: over the weekend.

Dal in Kosi are big in's for the saints and will help them.

Roos by 12.

[TassieSaint]

No Hayes, No Saints :p

But seriously Lenny brings A LOT to them team. Although I doubt we'd get up even with him

Roos by 6-7 goals

It would have been better if you had of picked a full time result, not a quarter time result. ;):)

[wonnydog]

Some good ins for the Saints, might be closer than what it looks on form, North by 10 pts.

[muяphy_3]

is this game live on tv tonight...??

[Look2Me4Guidance]

is this game live on tv tonight...??

Yes mate.

Channel 10 at 7pm.

[Zvim]

I think it will be a lot tougher than people think. I think we will win but by about 10 points.

[comrade]

Wow, another cracker on FTA. :rolleyes:

[TheTrav]

Don't know why everyone is tipping a blow out, before last week Norths form was s***house, then again so was ours and still is. I'm going to the game, and I've never seen a saints team win.

Saints by 14. Hope the s**t north turn up.

[r_boy]

Pretty concerned. Our form interstate is nothing short of atrocious. Have to be very game to tip us by over 30 points IMO.

Roos by 1-15 points for mine.

[Zvim]

Saints by 14. Hope the s**t north turn up.

Our form in Melbourne has been good, form interstate has been woeful.

[Zvim]

Wow, another cracker on FTA. :rolleyes:

Well, I hope Saints don't play with 20 players behind the ball, it could be a poor game if it becomes a floodfest, we can't really control what the opposition do but need to adjust how we play if they do flood and it won't be pretty.

[Witts]

Well, I hope Saints don't play with 20 players behind the ball, it could be a poor game if it becomes a floodfest, we can't really control what the opposition do but need to adjust how we play if they do flood and it won't be pretty.
And we'd endear ourselves to the GC faithful even more.

[McManus2Waterhouse]

can someone commentate this one good and post up some scores i cant get it on tv or radio and i love the sainters

[Witts]

0.1.1 apiece 4 minutes into the first quarter.

[cbreban]

The sad thing about this match is the locals at the ground will be put off AFL forever.

[Pedro]

NM 0.4.4 - STK 0.3.3. Terrible game so far

[rdhopkins2]

NM 16 StK3

Another crap game for the round, umpires also horrid! THATS NOT 50 UMP!!!

[The Grover]

I'm sick of watching this St.Kilda shit on TV, every game there involved in is a disgrace.

[McManus2Waterhouse]

sound like the north melbourne are punishing them

[Pedro]

4.4.28-0.3.3. Just on 1/4 time. Thank christ the other game starts soon.

[bluechampion]

This is awful.

[rdhopkins2]

Saints are absolutely horrid. Kangas aren't even playing well. This will be a messy masascre at this rate! Have SK turned up?

Yeah they have turned up with their usual flooding crap.

[matty lloyd the champ]

geez the saints are horrible, most boring game I've ever seen

[S "Thinks He's Daicos" J]

I used to genuinely fear the St Kilda team and forwardline. Now they make me sick. Disgusting stuff shown in a market where we are trying to promote the game.

[Zvim]

1/4 Time
NM 28
SK 3

I think we are trying to figure out what is going on, players are wondering if we are playing Gaelic football where you don't kick to a contest. If Saints play four quarters like this they will lose, need to extract Gameplan B.

[rdhopkins2]

Remind me when SK play Syd. What a snore fest that will be....think I might watch the grass grow instead!

[Zvim]

On C10 Shannon Watt has no heart rate, get him a bodybag?

[rdhopkins2]

Please STK turn up, contest and don't turn the whole ACT anti AFL!

[McManus2Waterhouse]

there've got no answer for d wells and b harvey

[rdhopkins2]

Milne kicks SK first! JUST! Halellujah!
K 36

North 6.7.43

[Zvim]

Stupid footy by North, team pushes numbers into our forward line you need to work the ball around and hit a target, bombing it to a congested forward line when theirs is open is just stupid footy.

[Geelong_Sicko]

[Fryman]

Umps giving us a fair touch up. If they decide to square the ledger it could be a decent last quarter of football.

Sidenote - I've been to junior footy games with more atmosphere than Carrara.

Probably played in a better style too.

Agreed, playing the game at Carrara is a complete waste. Noone in QLD would give a toss...

Are you on your laptop at the footy or is the atmosphere coming through the radio or tv?

[rdhopkins2]

King goals, Saints within 8pts. GAME ON!

[HolyWars]

Cmon Campbell, kick it..........
and he has missed ffs!@#@!

[Geelong_Sicko]

King rushes a behind... North 60 - Saints 51

[Geelong_Sicko]

Saints goal! 2 points in it!!!

[Danger Mouse]

2 points! Now north should get 2 cheap goals if we are true to form...

[rdhopkins2]

2pt ball game, Kozzie gets one for Saints

[CentimeterPerfect]

This aint good. All momentum with the Saints. :thumbsd:

[rdhopkins2]

Kozzie another one. SAINTS IN FRONT! STOP THE PRESS!!!!
NM have taken the foot off completely!

[Geelong_Sicko]

Kosi again! Marks in the goalsquare to put the Saints in front by 4!! North 8.12 - Saints 9.10

[Fryman]

Are you on your laptop at the footy or is the atmosphere coming through the radio or tv?
Just on the tv.

Kosi goals again saints in front

[rdhopkins2]

INTERCHANGE INFRINGEMENT!!! ROOS FREE N 50.......certain goal coming up!

[hawkz]

Hello Twist To The Game

[Danger Mouse]

What a joke, umpires have backed North.... got all the crucial free kicks

[Geelong_Sicko]

Daniel Harris goals from a free... North by 2!!!

[Fryman]

No way did that just happen. This is unbelievable. Someone somewhere hates us real bad.

[Ricardo]

What an embarrassing rule.

Are they going to wait until this idiotic rule made by idiotic people decides a Grand Final before changing it?

[hawkz]

No way did that just happen. This is unbelievable. Someone somewhere hates us real bad.

dw i like saints

theyre probably win too :thumbsu:

[CentimeterPerfect]

Saints back in front :(

[Geelong_Sicko]

Leigh Montagna goals to put Saints back in front by 5! North 9.12 - Saints 10.11

[Danger Mouse]

Why have the kangaroos stopped? You guys have no run at all....

[rdhopkins2]

Milne goals....NM already at the bar along with the STK interchange steward! STK by 11pts

[CentimeterPerfect]

Milne another. Saints 11 points up. Kangas stopped :mad:

[Geelong_Sicko]

[randyzany]

[CentimeterPerfect]

17 points. game over

[Geelong_Sicko]

4th goal for Stephen Milne 12.11.83 - 9.12.66

[rdhopkins2]

This game has been one of the most bizarre ever. Saints don't turn up til 3rd qtr, Nth in control then fall over. Only goal for about an hr has been an interchange free!

[S "Thinks He's Daicos" J]

Shinboner Spirit?

[nobbyiscool]

well done sainters... they (along with carlton) added some suprisingly good value to my multibet for the first 4 games of this round...

:D

[CentimeterPerfect]

Shinboner Spirit?

Left with Arch at AAMI last Sept mate

[HolyWars]

From a good win, to a poor loss. FFS there goes my multi.

[rdhopkins2]

FINAL SCORE

NM 9.15.69
SK 12.12.84

Run out of legs after the Hawks game? Well done SK. Just used up their Get Out Of Jail Free card for the season you would think. Disappointing for NM giving that up.

[Geelong_Sicko]

GAME OVER! StKilda 12.12.84 North 9.15.69

[CentimeterPerfect]

Game, Set and Scratch. Saint winners by 15. :(

Well done Sainters

[panthers]

Hey guys before the game ends i just want to say thanks to all you guys for posting the scores etc. Here in MORONVILLE aka Adelaide the only game on tonight on Fox and Channel 10 is the WB v Port. I have rung fox about it early in the week and they blamed channel 7, 10 and afl and when i rang channel 10 they blamed Fox, Afl and 7...so go figure. About 30 minutes before the game started i noticed on the 518 (main event) that fox was showing saints v roos LIVE into NSW and ACT. I rang Fox and asked them to flick the switch to my house..even offered to pay for view but they said sorry we cant :( So thanx dimwit and 7 for absolutely stuffing up football viewing to the general public I really dont think that the"powers to be" realise that NOT EVERYONE supports Port or the Crows in this Fleabitten, onehorse town grrrrrr (end of rant )

[Pumbi]

Fair to say an uncharacteristic performance by both sides? can't remember the last time we had a comeback win like that. And the Kangas usually go on from situations like that, not one to let teams back in.

[Ricardo]

Strange match, i would've never picked St.k to win after that first quarter, and they are now back in the eight :eek:

Big match next round, FN Carlton v St.k @ MCG.

[Swanstar]

WTF Saints, there goes my multi

[Danger Mouse]

Anyone know the exact midfield setup for the saints in the last quarter?

[Adelaide Hawk]

Shinboner Spirit?

There's no such thing. Norf Melbun are good at taking on a team due for a loss like the Hawks last week, but the moment they meet a team desperate for a victory like St.Kilda, they fail miserably. They're a joke.

[Ninty]

You've got to be ____ing me.

[Edwards27]

We have shinboner spirit and we have supporters ..... whats hawks moto when the going gets tough , we get reported... what a family club ahh

[Alatna]

What a game.

It had a bit of everything.

Loved the ibis just wandering across the ground, a local equivalent of Melbourne's seagulls. And Wallsy going "Michael, you're from this part of the world, what the hell is that?"

I heart Nick Riewoldt.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Thanks to Sydney, the Roos almost had a chance of hanging on in the end. Glad the Saints held them out, though:D
