AFL 2015, Round 5 - St Kilda v Essendon, Etihad Stadium, 3.20pm

[Ricmel]

Enjoy another flag in June mate

I think we saw some glimpses of what the Saints will look like in 2 or 3 years. Add another couple of low drafts and I think we have the nucleus of a challenge.

Essendon won today but I would be more unhappy if I was a bomber supporter than as a Saints supporter.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Saints choked

 

[cardje]

And you have done what and beaten who exactly? A couple of 10 goal hidings in the first 5 weeks and you think you are going great guns. Easy pleased aren't you?

We're missed some quality players.. Like to see how you would go minus Watson, Goddard

Adam Schneider cost St Kilda the 2009 Grand Final with his choking in front of goal and he cost the Saints another victory today. campaigner of a footballer. Glad he's not on my team. Richardson should piss him off and give one of the VFL kids a chance.

Unfortunately true

 

[Turboman1994]

Still can't believe the dons gibbed off bomber for the useless campaigner hird #loldons

 

[LukeParkerno1]

On the positive I got my tip right...the 2nd positive is I had Colyer last goal....on the negative Essendon had to win, lol

 

[pazza]

Better team lost today for mine. Saints were cleaner and better skilled.

 

[The Redemption]

Why are Bombers and Kangaroos fans fighting? Both teams are going nowhere really quickly with one coach as a bizarre messiah despite nobody actually knowing if he can coach and the other coach is a deadshit that after five seasons still states his side can win the thing/beat good teams consistently yet...wtf was that last night? again...

 

[ManWithNoName]

The obsession North fans have with Essendon is genuinely sad.

Answered your own question.

Cripple fight.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Yep. He knows how to win flags in September

 

[mxett]

The obsession North fans have with Essendon is genuinely sad.

but not surprising. Their own team is so uninspiring they need to talk about us

 

[Rod Stroker]

It's pity, not obsession.

 

[ManWithNoName]

It's pity, not obsession.

Keep telling yourself that bro

 

[The Redemption]

Yep. He knows how to win flags in September

Well if he does as you suggest, why is he with the Kangaroos?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The only thing that is funnier than watching Essendon scrap around is watching North fans actually thinking they have a decent team!

 

[Armchair Critic]

Fellas, both your teams are s**t. End argument

Bad luck Saints, the better team for at least 80% of the match and very ordinary football from a seasoned campaigner cost them the game. Other that that so many positive signs for the Saints. All the young guys stood up, no passengers and fought on despite being out on their feet. Congrats, it was a pleasure to watch you today. ( except for the ending)
ps and what is it with stupid umps and deliberates with St Kilda- today's call against Dempster, almost as poor as the famed call against Montagna a few years back-no understanding of the game ump)

I agree with most of that - there were 2 deliberate calls that shouldn't have been paid but were - 1 each way. Hooker's deliberate was as he was being heavily tackled...he had no other option than handball it along the line. Harsh call.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Yep. He knows how to win flags in September

seen the ladder tonight? We appear to be above you guys. Have a nice week.

You have lost 3 of your last 6 matches by over 10 goals, you just aren't that good.

less of a rivalry and more ingrained hatred of each other.
We are the antithesis of each other. Could have loss to the saints today and my weekend would still be golden after watching the 10 goal win to the hawks last night

Yep agree -the umps need to get better at these deliberate calls.

Disagree. We are a good team with s**t effort and decision making.
North are a s**t team that put the effort in and execute a game plan that works on occasion.
