AFL 2019 Round 1, St Kilda v Gold Coast, 1:10pm AEDT MS

[rumply]

Only round 1 but the endless umpire whinging in every gameday thread has gotten old already.

 

[Americanpies]

lol Saints... saddest team in the AFL.

Soft but we all know those tiggy jumper hits was going to be paid very softly this year. Can't blame anyone but their own dumb fault St Kilda - guys like Lonie get involved in that shit far too much when the Saints are having a shot.

 

[Donakebab]

The was some awful umpiring. Both players just as guilty as each other, if it's one way call it, if it's both then blow the whistle straight away or not at all.

 

[Topkent]

I hope all the puss bags that were whingeing about the punches are happy with that piss weak free kick against long. Hardly would have killed a fly if it was between them

 

[kaiserchief13]

This is why I hate commentators talking about injuries. They really have no idea. Every commentary team should have a Peter Larkins type to comment on these things.

Yeah iirc in NFL they do?

 

[megatiger]

come on saints!!!!

 

[Plugger35]

Turned it around pretty well after that terrible start, should be able to go on with it in the 2nd half.

Another year of the same crap where the imbecile VFL referees give us nothing
It’s tough enough already being us without the weekly cheating
Thumbs down VFL

You haven't had a bad run from the umpires compared to the treatment we get when we play interstate.

True but Roberton and Brown are not the future. Not even the present.
All 3 from other clubs. Can you develop your own?

Can the Swans develop their own key forwards? Franklin, Tippett, Hall and Lockett all taken from other clubs.

I had extremely low expectations for this game, but actually found it reasonably entertaining so far

 

[Mini GF]

Well there you have it, competitive first quarter then comes the directive from VFL House to the imbecile VFL Umpires and the game is now turned on its head

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

This is what happens when you over-complicate the rules and there isn't enough umpiring talent to go around.

 

[projectv]

Glad I decided to come to watch this game live. It's great. And we haven't kicked like 2.10. Love it!

 

[Atomboy]

I don't know why I hate st Kilda considering they are the most irrelevant team in afl history.

Haters gonna hate I Guess.

Tayla Harris probably didn’t appreciate your comments on her either.

lol the Suns have had the rub of the green. The game turned when the Saints mids started to read Witts taps.

 

[projectv]

Those stupid chants being played over the speakers for Membrey and Parker can go do one. Pretty lame.

 

[Hollow Knight]

3 effective disposals and 0 tackles for Lachie Weller, 88 percent TOG that half.

Pathetic after what they have invested in him. Step up.

Why on earth does that awful match between the Saints and Suns last year deserve a half time segment? Close match sure, but it was a dreadful game. Surely there's something better to use that big screen for.

someones still testy after last night...

Bizarre post.

I'm just genuinely dumbfounded. I've quite regularly seen it brought up be it on AFL pages and now on this broadcast. A close game does not equate to a good game and the Saints should have never been in that position in the first place.

Maybe because StKilda supporters are watching this game?

Fair. Still don't think I'd want to be celebrating a win like that months on. But personal taste I guess.

 

[WCE fan22]

How come when you hold a player up with a fifty you give another fifty but when you get done holding the ball and dont give the ball up straight away theres no penalty.
