Keep On Marching

[SOPH_CROSS]

You are pure Talent and an amazing team

i wanted the streak to continue for you and i felt a little heart broken that it had 2 stop there


To pile on 7 goals like that and get right back in the game is how amazing you are...time just got you and Roo did his best

You can only go up and i want u 2 go all the way...and i think (though im sure you dont feel it atm) a loss is good may take off some pressure of keeping the winning streak going...ull bounce right back from this and your team will benefit great from the loss!

KEEP ON MARCHING ST KILDA!

More like injuries got us.

Why are you applauding their effort? We had no bench for the last quarter and a half, missing critical players in Fletcher, Ryder and Dempsey with Stanton and Jobe also injured, and they still couldn't get past us. I reckon it's just that in comparison to the overall soft effort they displayed for the majority of the match, that seven-goal burst made the Saints appear legendary.

What you should be focusing on is how they were outbustled and outplayed for the vast majority of the game, and failed to shut down an Essendon team on one leg.

we might just focus on our 19 wins, resting player policy, secured top spot and current heavy training finals preparation while almost stealing a victory from a much better opponent on the day.

You might think about celebrating with your own for a while...

I agree with you, the fact that we allowed a team filled mostly with hacks and 2nd raters get that far in front of us is truly an indictment on the mindset the guys took into the game.

if essendon had a bench it would've been a 40+ point win

 

[Michael_knoth]

what doesnt kill you saints only makes you strongers

 

[HoldenMCaulfield]

I suppose that if Soph_Cross (thanks for the nice words btw) had wanted to make a positive thread about Essendon's efforts, she would have done that on the Essendon board.

But instead, she has decided to write a few words of support to St Kilda and to wish us (and especially our No. 13 I guess) well for the rest of the season. Believe it nor not, but I don't think her post had anything to do with Essendon...

our uncomprimising approach pressurizes the opposition into physical extensions beyond the individual player's means. As such we appear "lucky" with the injuries sustained by the opposition. Really it is a symptom of our pressure manifesting in another way.

We did it to your boys and you are still recoveing from those injuried and most likely gone until next season (perhaps until the next rebuild).

So don't talk to me about lucky benches, if the Essendon players had not pushed so hard to get in front they most likely would not have been strained and injured, and would not have been in front to start with.

Yet another cat venting its nervousness on the saints board. Can they truely believe they are gone?

 

[SOPH_CROSS]

Yeah im secretly only over here to beg to get Schneider and Seany D back i miss those boys more and more every day

and Yes my full credit goes 2 St Kilda they have been an amazing team all year and deserve credit for the fight they just put on to try and get the win! Both teams should be proud of the effort that was played out 2nite! But im giving my credit to St Kilda because they've been doing it for 19 round (well 18) and it will continue and i want 2 see them go all the way

we all know that, go away and enjoy th win pal, stop trying to convince people on the Internet. Ryder, Fletch and Dempsy stay on field, you win by 6 goals. Mayb 4 if we decided to turn up

 

[2121]

Never seen a team able to apply the pressure you did in that last 10 minutes to make a team retreat nearly the whole ground was amazing...
and what was up with that umpire not giving i think it was kozi 50 when he marked didnt go off his line and went to handball and was carelled by a player from essendon who came from the side and then took the ball.

Ohhh ps: Riewoldt thanks for recking our finals chances

 

[StFly]

Ohhh ps: Riewoldt thanks for recking our finals chances

We tried by beating Hawthorn and then you couldn't get over the line, fool us once shame onus, fool us twice, take that teal bastados!

And if could shit sitting down you could leave wherever you're institutionalized.

valid point, didn't really think about it like that.

we'll be ok....would be a tad nervous if the finals started this week though!

You could also ask how StKilda are managing to keep players such as Lenny Hayes , Max Hudghton, Raphael Clarke uninjured, despit them all having long history of this type of problem.

If you think it's worth injuring your players to win a single home and away game ( and maybe in Essendon's case it was ) , then good luck in September to you.

All that was achieved was short term back slapping. if they don't make the eight it means little except for next years membership drive. As the next two rounds will be hard for them to stay in the eight.
look at what happened to us a couple of years back 05 or 06,when we were cruising into the finals, had that game against freo and got 3 or 4 injuries. we never really recovered. We lost after the siren anyway, would have preferred to have keep players uninjuried.

Gee I hope we somehow end up playing Essendon in September.
