Round 5, 2014: Essendon V St Kilda @ Docklands

[CotchNCo]

Well done Sainters!

 

[ManWithNoName]

Well done Saints. Great game by them. They've got one in Billings. And Riewoldt remains one of my favourite players to watch. Absolute champion.

 

[Spitta09]

Selfish Stanton. Cost em the game. Lucky to hold his spot based on that effort.

Was trying to boost his dream team score at the end there

 

[Adam H]

Essendon could really have used a forward like Crameri who kicks goals on weak defences like the Saints.....

Or Rhys Stanley.

 

[blue harvest]

Bomber upset he didn't get the chicken teryaki

 

[BluesMan]

Once again, bombers overrated. Its silly how much they think they are good. Experience lacks, and its no slight on bombers, but its just they arent there

 

[smasha]

Fantastic emotion in the rooms.
Great stuff Saints.

May make the 8 by that performance.

 

[La Dispute]

The Bombers were very brave.

I think its time...

Where are Essendon at?

 

[LordJimmy]

Just dropping in to have a laugh. It should become customary for every team to go all-out when they face Essendon. Every game they win from here on is an insult to the integrity of the game, and anyone who continues to identify as an Essendon supporter openly identifies themselves as an associate to drug cheating. Show no quarter.

So yeah, the wooden spooners downing a "top 4" team eh? LOL. Maybe you'd want a refund on those PEDs or something. Bahaha.

 

[citizen-erased]

oh my.

Hats off - Alan Richardson. Well Done Sir.
Billings & Dunstan so good. Templeton as well.
And where he found the talent to form a backline like that without Fisher and Roberton.
Hickey pantsed Ryder. And quite a number of our mids too.
And its hard not to love Not Lenny & Roo. Commanding performance.

Saints are 3-2. You have a new fan. Kick on and hurt some teams

 

[Spitta09]

Good win from the saints only saw last quarter but they looked to be playing pretty well.
Brave performance from the bombers.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Well played Saints, much better performance than last week.

But gee whiz, the Bombers look to be in trouble, the Magpies will clean them up on ANZAC Day.

 

[citizen-erased]

oh, and they have Acres to come into this team.

 

[smasha]

Richo interviewing Richo.

 

[fpm84]

Have said it before but I can't believe how overrated Essendon is.

Any team that gives regular games to proven average/below average players like Jetta, Hardingham and Colyer is not a contender.

They also have one of the worst forward lines going around - Carlisle has had little impact all year, Hardingham is C-grade and Daniher is too inexperienced to regularly impact games. If Chappy's not kicking them like he wasn't tonight, the cupboard's pretty bare.

How can you say that after one game, wow.

The rest up and down like a yoyo.

Brisbane are consistent too.

Still missing a fully functioning forward line. Been missing since Lloyd & Lucas finished up

 

[fpm84]

But well done Saints - Billings, Dunstan and co will be stars for a long time. Great to see Riewoldt and Hayes enjoying their footy so much.

 

[Tragic sainter]

Riewoldt showing up Hurley for the fat pretender that he is.

The constant pencilling in of Carlton and Essendon as top four, year after year bewilders me. It's like a willing delusion amongst football "experts". But you're right. Chapman is their best player at the moment. And that's actually an indictment on them. He's a quality recruit to have if you're gunning for a premiership, but the fact that he has stood out as their best player has instantly exposed how s**t the rest of their list is. He needs to be the third or fourth in command forward, not their main star.

 

[JeffDunne]

Thought Webster played very well too. Did some very creative stuff at important times.

He's going to be a gun.
