Anyone know what's happened to Saints TV this year? I enjoyed his pre and post match videos last year, and he went to most of the away games. I hope he hasn't gone #eco

Lack of appreciation imo

 

[Indie Rock]

Lycett seems to be going well hey?

Interesting that we had a serious crack at him last year and a few of us (me included) were a bit underwhelmed by that.

Looks like our list management (or whoever would get the credit for this) have been able to identify a player that has good attributes for the way the game is evolving - worth calling that out IMO. In hindsight pity we didn't get him - although I'm really happy with Roma's contribution yesterday.

 

[Persevering Saint]

with you 100%

De Goey would've been nice though... but don't think any team would have taken him at 1

I know Brian would have

2MP.

 

[ScrappyDo]

2MP.

Marshall will be shitting on 2MP in a couple of years. Imo

 

[Persevering Saint]

Maybe our hard fought win over Gold Coast wasn’t the poor effort that every person had been crapping on about

Yep, I'll put my hand up for that one. [emoji1672] Dew's Suns look much more formidable than I gave them credit.

 

[Persevering Saint]

go the Suns!

Hey, hey, it just occurred to me, let's not get carried away. We don't want the Suns to be TOO good, lest Benny the King starts enjoying it there!

Karma For Tassie #not15playon

That guy was the same ump who did our game on Saturday.
Not sure if he was the one responsible for some of our bad calls this time though.

 

[Persevering Saint]

“If Saints struggle against Gold Coast they must really be bad”

“Wow Freo might be top 8 contenders here with that North thrashing”

•a week later•

Hm...


St Kilda and proud.

Seriously, this is just the most bizarre season so far. I cannot remember this many upsets having ever occurred like this.

 

[Persevering Saint]

Marshall will be shitting on 2MP in a couple of years. Imo

I could handle having both.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Yes could be looked at but don't think it's worth 2 weeks unfortunately. Maybe 1 or a fine.

It depends on how much Michael Christian has drunk. 1 week for Cox . Impey will get a life ban from footy!

 

[ScrappyDo]

I could handle having both.

I'd rather have Bing

[SaintersUnite]

They beat Freo in Freo. Look out bombers. Its not going to be a gimmee game for them.

They beat Freo in Gold Coast, it was at Metricon


St Kilda and proud.

Did he play today?


St Kilda and proud.

Andrew Stephens is his name. I didn't notice any bad calls from him in this game but I still remember not 15 gate

 

[Ekomaira]

St Kilda and proud.

nah he was emergency again. think he was in their game against us too. so he might not be too far away

 

[MUFKilda]

Lack of appreciation imo

That would be a shame if you're right. His videos were excellent last year. I hope he returns.

Thanks George.

St Kilda and proud.

oh, didnt realise that.

 

[Cornish]

Met Gilly a few times when he was at the Saints, what a genuine nice bloke, could play a bit as well.

Purple wrote -
Drafted by the Dockers at 21. Fourteen AFL games in two years. Delisted. More VFL time. A reprieve late, when the Suns used special AFL rules to add him late to their 2019 list.
Then in the final 30 seconds of a round two AFL match for the Suns against the Dockers, a towering, match-saving and ultimately match-winning mark.

What a mark hey lol . if you watch the replay it is an uncontested mark , the only opponent who was going to fly against him was pushed out by another GC player. Ive seen less paid a free kick . But Purple doesn't let the facts ruin a good story though . Hardly a towering mark unless everytime you take an overhead mark where you don't have to jump is suddenly towering . You do wonder why some of the other Dockers players around him didn't try to spoil.

That wasn't a towering mark.

THIS was a towering mark.

I see you've played towery marky before

(FWIW I thought Collins' mark was superb. lots of pressure on him to hold that mark)

The club has hit back at the hoo ha about Heppels captain goal by pointing out our captains mark.

 

[pebblesofsand]

Now I agree he is good and would love him at the Saints but according to the media apparently De Goey is the greatest thing since sliced bread and is headed for the millionaires club.

But just for comparison's sake I thought i'd check something

Completely different players imo. And yes I know they both play forward and go into the midfield
