AFL Round 13: Gold Coast v St Kilda Saturday 4:35pm AEST @MS

[Plugger35]

Was really impressed with the Suns today when I checked the scores at halfway. Just came back from the arvo and couldn't believe St Kilda had it.
What went wrong? (genuine question )

Dew must be their fitness coach as well as their coach, they can't run out 4 quarters. thought we were dead and buried and we ran over the top of them.

I was shocked that Sydney jumped StKilda. They should have been Collingwood and West Coast only for putrid umpiring and pushed Richmond. They’ve been pretty good considering their injuries.

Suns dominated until three quarter time, then just completely went to sleep.

 

[Vasso2007]

What would the Saints want for Longer. His ruckwork with Danger, Gaz and Joel would be the thing of dreams.

28-21 free kicks in St Kilda's favour.
So... going by St K fans logic the Suns were robbed.

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Just saw that the free kick count was 9 - 3 in that last quarter the Saints way.

Were the free kicks there or were they not. That's what matters.

The free kick count in and of itself is meaningless.

Whether they were there or not is quite subjective. I would think they were..

Bigger issue is the two obvious free kicks which they missed in that last quarter which would have went the Suns way. One of which was in their forward 50.

Just think if that was free tally in their game WC they would have beat you.

Umpires missed three or four to McCartin in the last when he was infringed.

95 to 55 possessions
47 to 37 contested
31 to 26 tackles
19 to 5 I50's

Your saying exactly what we said when we played you. its not the ones that are paid, its the ones missed, but going by WC supporters at the time we were just sooking, its hard to have an argument when you (as in Supporters) cant maintain 1 side.

the commentary team also commented on many frees not paid to the Saints, numerous in the backs and HTB decisions that we never got, gees I sound like a WC supporter


Happy for the win, changes nothing in the grand scheme, but give's the club some reward and less media pressure to enact changes.

Someone was saying that it was 15 - 1 from what I read before. So just clarified that up.

Hmm, I don't support West Coast. So I am unsure about what you are on about. Ha ha.

Umpires missed three or four to McCartin in the last when he was infringed.

Do you think their experiment is working then? The 4 umpire system I am referring to.

BartBart is though, I must of glanced the W and continued on, apologies

3 umpires inst working why would 4, to scared to override each other and terrible positioning, leaving 1 umpire to control the game whilst 3 stand back. too many cooks

No now there is four interpretations of one set of rules.

The only good thing about this comeback win were you get to keep Richardson longer. Good onya.

 

[JackFlash]

At 3QTR time everybody was writing Richo's epitaph, the game never looked like going St.Kilda's way, they were shocking, listless, disinterested, hopeless, yet somehow this ends up an undoubtedly a great win by the Saints in the finish, but make no mistake this was also the worst performance of the year by the Suns!

 

[Ricmel]

probably the ugliest win I have ever seen. I hope it does not cause Saints to forget the previous 10 games.

Don't think the Suns were that bad, they were pretty good for 3 quarters but then stopped dead in the last quarter, we were pretty terrible for 3 quarters and then stormed home with a great last quarter similar to our game against West Coast except this time we got over the line.

That win shouldn't make us think that every thing is hunky dory now and that we're back on track as we still have a lot of work to do, likewise the Suns shouldn't think that it's all doom and gloom now just because they lost as for the most part they played quite well.
