Burgoyne robbed, was huge in that qtr.

Jones worth a shout as well.

Saints trying to save a game rather than trying to win it, boring footy

 

[Hoops]

The worst way to lose a game of afl footy is Charlie Dixon kicking a bag on you.

Luckily it's rare

St Kilda:

• ranked 14th for differential inside 50s per game
• ranked 14th for differential tackles per game
• ranked 16th for goals per game (and goal assists per game)
• ranked 18th for differential disposals per game

Further to this, they're last for hitouts and 13th for clearance differential.

In short, they don't attack, they don't defend, they don't win the middle, can't get their hands on the ball and they don't score.

Otherwise, quite a promising and fruitful approach to football, really.

I was lip reading Hinkley talking to Ross Lyon. He said Ross we have got a long way to go to be a great club like St Kilda.

Little old Port Adelaide still paying me $800k who would have thought that when I was stinking it up at Fitzroy.

 

[Freomaniac]

That was a dog s**t spectacle. Truly a horrendous game.

It was an amazing game. lol

 

[Sam The Doc]

How many will Higgins get ?

 

[GoldbergsGold]

Should have been a 50-60 point victory to Port, inaccuracy will cost them when they play a contender team. Port fans quiet this week about "bias umpiring".

 

[Soggy2112]

if you can't see that 2 teams were umpired very differently, in a game that was barely more than 3 goals margin, an extra 15 frees sure does wonders, esp when you getting easy shots at goal off them

I literally said that the Saints copped a raw deal.

But they were also completely outplayed.

When you have 38 less disposals but also 28 less tackles then you don’t get to blame umpires.

Did you scroll past all those numbers on the way to the free kick count?

port couldn't hit the side of a barn. 10pts 15+ free kicks will always be a talking point

 

[Deathly]

in a game that was barely more than 3 goals margin

Hilarious that you actually think that margin was accurate of the game that was being played. They had 3 players down too btw. Pathetic you think Saints had a right to those 4 points.

 

[longdonkey]

Give Ken a 10 year extension

random260 agrees with me lol

Stop that!

 

[Mr Meow]

25 free kicks to 10, the umpires stepped up to cover for Port's injured players, they deserve a Gatorade shower in their rooms.

St Kilda (mostly) keep games competitive but ugly, serving up horrible spectacles for neutrals. But I'm happy for them to cop umpiring like tonight every game, while the sides who want to play football get the rub of the green.

Suck it up Plugger. You whinge when the umpiring is perfectly balanced anyway, so have no sympathy from me.

Port won 11.16.82 to Saints 11.6.72.

Had Port kicked more accurate in the 1st half, Port would of kicked 15-17 goals tonnight and won by 5-7 goals.

Again Port had 1 bloke on the bench left in the 2nd half. Saints had 3 or 4 left. So by that case, Saints should of overran the Port adelaide side.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

How many will Higgins get ?

Hopefully 10

save what? they were losing most of the game.

 

[Freomaniac]

10 more scoring shots, be happy it wasn’t a spanking.

Agreed.

Port scored 11.16.82 to saints 11.6.72.

had port kicked accurate, Port couldof kicked 15-17 goals and won by 5-7 goals

 

[RAPPA]

Are these the “standards” that were missing during Ratten’s tenure?

 

[Freomaniac]

Stop that!

Hand Ken to my mob then, we will hand you our 3 1st rounders for 2024 and our 2025 1st rounder too. lol

Not sure why they play that way, they're a better team when they play fast paced football.

10 points as a margin doesn’t reflect the result I feel. Port kicked away at the start of the last and then took the foot off the gas with limited rotations.

Umpiring is one factor, and yeah, Port got the better of it, but they were the better side in pretty much every other factor of the game.

 

[Phar Ted]

Did Richo just admit he read BigFooty in his playing days?

Nup, he just said a Footy forum, could have been any site.

 

[Arr0w]

They are so concerned with being overly defensive, rather than trying to kick a winning score

Kick 80 points and you generally beat them

It will be a talking point because of the rarity of it happening. We haven't had a free kick differential like that for years. But they kept tackling high. Some were dodgy - Dixon especially.
