The team in charge of the @StKildaFC Twitter account decided to make light of their team's horrible start to the match against Brisbane Lions by attempting humour.

The Lions kicked seven goals to two in the opening quarter to establish a 43-15 lead at the first break.
Brisbane recorded 119 disposals to 93 with Lewis Taylor, Dayne Beams and Dayne Zorko all grabbing 10-plus possessions while Daniel Rich kicked two goals.
For those playing at home, there is NOT a 5 goal gale going to the right of screen #AFLLionsSaints

Seizing the opportunity, Brisbane's Twitter account decided to join in on the fun.

Saints fans were none too pleased with their side's extremely slow start.
If our backline could please show up in the second quarter then that would be great, thanks. #AFLLionsSaints

Our kicking is a disgrace. Steven, Armitage, Schneider, all butchering it #AFLLionsSaints

How many lions players do we plan on leaving alone inside 50 @stkildafc ? Putrid so far! #AFLLionsSaints

We are getting torn up by Brisbane of all teams and people say we aren't the worse in the league I beg to differ
