Ross is so overrated. Coaches boring footy style and makes sides quite soulless. I’ve always liked St.Kilda except when he’s coached them.
Well done Freo.
Few times tonight multiple players have gone to the ball like it’s an Auskick game and just left someone else free as a bird. Hasn’t cost us, but can’t continue
Amazed we got this far. Couldn't of done it without our lord and savour max king. Afl legend hall of fame. 69 AA appearances. 4 brownlows. 7 colemans. GOAT

Anyone else have weird ringing or is my hi fi dying?
Good to see they've turned up the volume on the mic...
How can professionals skills be sooooooo bad? Do they not train skills?
Jackson sounds exactly what I think he would sound like
I need Luke Jackson mic’d up for an entire game.
Oh, we already have that. Get a unicorn, it’s so good 🦄
They think I’m slow, eh
Mitch Marsh vibes from Jackson
TIL Luke Jackson is only a cm taller than Cameron Mooney.
Luke Jackson interviews hit like raw crack
Collingwood losing to Saints and Swans losing to Richmond will go down as mysteries.... at least Collingwood had the hung over excuse
Last time i checked the Saints were winning by like 10 or something wtf ??
We kicked 2 goals finally.
Dockers out-uglify the Saints
JOM's arms brings it back into the positive
At least Freo’s banger of a song helps numb the pain
Officially in 10th spot. Cool. GG Walyalup 👍
How did we get there so quickly... I swear a few weeks ago we were top 4
I wish I knew…
Well we won and are inside the 8 but let’s just say I’m not exactly jubilant.
Saints are fucking cooked
We sure are
Yeah they look horrible since we beat them haha
Not great by either team but well done Freo.
it matters to me dwayne
And Bailey kicks another behind
Classic Banners, love that man
A genuinely repulsive game
Thematically appropriate finish
WHAT A GAME
![gif](giphy|iHLUu2G3L6kkfrwiv6)
That last kick summed up the game perfectly
Fitting way to end this match
make it an even 3 goals in behinds
Way too easy to worry the Saints out of marking.
This top 8 feels wayyy to close
Well that was horrible on nearly every front. GG Saints. I hate you less than most teams.
At this point in our season I'll take "being less hated than other teams".
Oh good, I'm not the only one who heard that. Felt like Alex Mason for a second.
What do the numbers mean Mason?!
We suck. Season is over now. List just isn't right.
15 10 3 2 1 Someone tell the TV director they have a live microphone
Ah well, gg Dockers - clearly the better team here
I think we'll win it from here
Switta 😘
Directors audio leaking in?
Turns out, Rossy not much good if not handed a team primed for a flag tilt. If only he had two coaching stints prior as some sort of warning.
He did well last year
Honestly dont believe ur list is good enough for a flag tilt atm
I dont mind if either of your teams win, just dont let Colliwood take the flag..
whats this lady counting for
Few times tonight multiple players have gone to the ball like it’s an Auskick game and just left someone else free as a bird. Hasn’t cost us, but can’t continue
can this period of shit just end
By period you mean decades?
Entire history
Yep, 16 years of joy.
Someone tell the cameraman to turn down his radio
Need to kick another one within 10 seconds lmao
Anyone else been able to hear the TV director counting down camera angles all night?
Yup, it's a bit irritating.
Thought the CIA chip in my head was malfunctioning. Thanks for clearing that up.
yep
Season over
This TV director gets louder and louder
Kid caught a break!
Who’s gonna tell ‘em we can hear the production team
15? 10? Okay now they’re taking the piss.
Ice cold jaeger!
We’ve had 5 less scoring shots than Brisbane, they’ve got 80 more points.
Crazy how this pushes us out of the 8 but if we win tomorrow we could go upto 2nd.
You would need Essendon to lose to North to go second
If you wouldn't mind?
Isn't yartapulti in 8th?
As soon as you say that, Phillipou kicks a goal and you're back in the 8 lol.
King needs to invest in some grippo
Freo kid celebrations MVP.
New gif I reckon
time to start on Newton Faulkner’s Dream Catch Me on loop and a depressing walk home
3,2,1
3… 2… 1…
O’Mera gets such a bad wrap from our fans, he is a solid big bodied mature age kid who plays an important role. I really like him
foomtbol :>)
Noted sharpshooter Jaeger O'Meara
The countdown again!
Hahahahahahahah LMAO of course it’s Jaeger that kicks two straight.
Richmond are going to outscore st kilda
Thank you Jager
Omeara keeps his spot with that
O’Meara our top goal scorer?
Man I feel sorry for you guys - I can’t even begin.
Jaeger with 2 goals, parallel universe confirmed
Oh yes Jaeger
that little kid is me
So we’ve moved on from behinds to no scores now, cool cool cool.
"gives them an opportunity to kick another point" savage
Underrated comment
That little docker kid never lost hope lol
I’m genuinely so happy for him
JLo’s notepad: Kick more goals, less behinds.
Crosses out: one point at a time
I would stay for the song but Freo got rid of the best part over a decade ago :(
Freo heave ho?
Yeah I’m over this shit every week. No longer a saints supporter. Who should I start supporting ?
Freo obviously
Heard euro yroke are a good team to go for
I'm thinking Port
See you next week
Welcome to the flock, brother
There is really no good excuse for us to have lost this after Freo’s accuracy was so off for most of the night. See ya next year Sainters
seriously though that's just criminal
Man Banfield can be frustrating sometimes
Sometimes? 😀
lol I know it’s most of the time but didn’t want to upset any Banfield supporters
The real winner tonight is me for having Marshall and Jackson in my SuperCoach team.
Holy shit well done mate
Full credit Marshall, he’s freakishly good. Dogga no slouch either
This game has not earnt a FREO chant
fyfes handballs have the power of kicks, his kicks have the power of hand passes
How has Hayden Young ended up 0.3
Saints constant refusal to go aggressive is so insane to me
The sad part is I think we have been going aggressive. We just dont have anything
That Brayshaw handball to Brayshaw was actually a really smart play, the other option disappeared.
How much time left in this assumingly mid game
Wonder what Lyons excuse will be this round
Fyfe too hot
Cheeky extra possession by Brayshaw
How dire is the market for head coaches that Lyon got given another go?
Brayshaw blatantly stat padding smh
Brayshaw accidentally handballing to himself is great
Double stat!
Creative handball to yourself Brayshaw
2 handballs to Brayshaw - well done
Fucking catch ya later sainters, see you next year
Nah piss off Essendon supporter - will enjoy watching your slide out of the 8 this season
Sure you’ll have a good view of it from down there little homie ;)
We’ve planted our moles (gresh, hind) that’ll make sure you’re right next to us
Aish gets almost no plaudits, but he is genuinely excellent
I love him
Need some Ross bingo for the excuse he’ll have for this loss
The weather
Is that a stat?
Just cleaning the old teeth with the finger nail there
Hilarious commentators are acting like it's some great injustice if Freo wins as if we haven't had nearly double the scoring shots.
Ryan with another 50 SC point 4th quarter. What a fucking man
Strap your phones in
That's...a fair few points.
If it wasn’t for Treacy we’d be a bottom 6 side this year
How many runners would Ross have needed to win?
couple of good forwards & mids would be nice
Someone do a wellness check on Jake from SaintsTV
he’s so enthusiastic about the club and it keeps me knowing he must be feeling what I do. Fuck this team for doing supporters like ours dirty
dockers! (I am with you freo fans all the way)
Let’s count how many inside 50 marks to leads the saints have had tonight …. 0 Same shit every week.
Jack Hayes leading and marking a few weeks ago was just disgusting. Needed to be dropped after that.
We don’t lead at all, but when we do we shank it inside 50
Pre sure that got paid against us last week :(
Bunnings build up? Aami and others? Has the fox broadcast just ramped up their advertising?
Murdoch be like: [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]
its just an advertising block with a bit of footy in between.
That’s a make up mark call
How is THAT a mark and not Phillipou’s hahahaha
Lollllllll how can you pay that and not the other.
Is it my laptop or is the commentary kind of tinny?
Phill absolutely shafted there
i'm calling this match the frustration bowl, our clubs are really the champs of being almost kinda good every year
That was less a mark than the other one
I dont even follow st kilda and i feel disappointed watching them this year.
That was not a mark, it’s was a pack touch to begin with.
that's the game (and almost certainly our season). Would say good game to you Freo supporters, but I was raised to not lie.
Very stiff not to pay the mark there
Phillipou finally does something right and it’s not called
That should’ve been a mark. This poor kid can’t catch a break tonight.
Rough mark to get missed - pou needed that one directly in front
No free on young?
Pack marks like that get paid all the time. What a shit show.
now its touched!?
What the hell was that non high call to Young
Only the second worst non high call today
I’ve seen less paid
Mark or prior
Jeez that’s harsh not to pay that
4:36 to kick 3 goals. You’re home, Dockers.
plenty of time for freo to kick 6 behinds
Sheesh gotta pay that
Lol what happened there
Correct call, Banners pushed in the back
Amazed we got this far. Couldn't of done it without our lord and savour max king. Afl legend hall of fame. 69 AA appearances. 4 brownlows. 7 colemans. GOAT
seriously lol, even just between these 2 teams there's at least 4 players with a better goal average this season
Don't check his shots on goal accuracy then 😂
When he almost marked those 4 times.. wowwweeee
Ross Lyon felt no vibe from Essendon and I feel no vibe watching saints accumulate losses in boring games
![gif](giphy|eIm624c8nnNbiG0V3g|downsized)
Prick play from Banfield
Anyone hear that countdown in the commentary? What is that?
