Players cant wait for season to end!

[WinnersOnly]

It looked like the entire SAINTS team couldn't wait for season to end yesterday! The whole team looked like they just wished that was there last game for the season. They were despondent lacked energy and lacked any run what so ever.

They are all emotionally and physically spent and will not trouble anyone if we do make the finals. Too be honest it was like watching the team in the 2010 GF replay...

ROO appears to be one of the worst affected. That kick he had twenty five out in the last quarter - was evidence of that. The Sydney cheer squad got stuck into him while he was preparing and he just lost it = out on the full.

I apologise if I offend anyone but 2011 is a lost cause - lets start preparing for 2012 !

Why wouldnt you continue to at least try and play finals if you can. What does 2 or 3 weeks matter. What can you actually do now to prepare for 2012 anyway?

[dragit]

Yay - another thread suggesting we should all just give up.

Grow a heart everyone, why don't you all give up posting until next year too if we're so shot…

[matrix]

im starting to feel the same way

bring on the NBL

[thejiggingsaint]

Bring on the prozac

[joffaboy]

Its worth gettign to the finals only if it is to blood some younger players in finals experience.

Wouldn't that be a good preparation to 2012?

[matrix]

yup
playing finals is a no brainer

[thejiggingsaint]

YARP!!!!! Bring on T Walsh (AND the prozac )

[Junction Oval]

We can't just "throw in the towel" because it's "too hard."

It's our opportunity to re-load for next week. The Swans did against us, so let's see how big the boy's heart's are.

If we actually make the finals, do you think RL will actually "play the kids"?

Going by his selections so far in his coaching career this will not occur. He will play the most experienced side he can get his hands on even if their form doesn't warrant it.

Same old same old (so to speak).

Not necessarily.

If we "fall in" and have no realistic prospect of going all the way, Ross may very well adopt a different approach. He may choose to roll the dice.

However it's going to be hard for him to play too many kids given a lot of them are out for the season while others will be lacking match fitness.

If the team's not full of kids it's not necessarily because Lyon is "playing safe".

[thejiggingsaint]

Hey Junctionoval me old mate! I'm just putting the tongue in the cheekski! If you think the Jiggster is about to throw in the towel just get around to aisle 18/19 level one this Saturday!!!!!

We've lost games before, we'll lose them again. We don't throw in the towel. Back at Etihad, Roos are waiting. Easy meat... for us. Expect a few players to be a bit more awake, such as Monty, Milne McEvoy and Gilbert, slot Kosi and Zac back in, Kosi helps McEvoy, Zac shores up FB possie, Raph to play the full game, perhaps Walsh replaces Lynch taking some heat off Reiwoldt, or even rest the capt for a game.

In short we were bad against the Swans, we were only lucky they were so poor at goalkicking. Doesn't mean that we are done. Just looks that way after 2 losses. Keep punching!

[St. Luke]

I was under the impression half the team had gastro? They looked pretty flat. This week will determine whether we're switched on or not.

So what you're saying is that it wasn't mud on the field?

Apology accepted , you should take a long hard look in the mirror and not come on after a loss with such revealing comments ...not.... looked like the ground and a hard fought contest the week before plus some sickness were the reasons and yes I want to play finals again , just imagine being a Richmond fan and longing to play in just one final..?

You are going to be mighty disappointed in a few weeks.

Yep, I agree.

Looking at a close up of Milney pre match he looked a bit off colour.

Add to that a clearly dangerous surface unsafe for any kind of sport, and
No wonder they played like girls.

I didn't think that's what it might have been.

Put it this way, we sure looked pretty bad up against a side we should have smashed.

You at least made the effort to write a note before jumping off the bridge.

Your suicide in the 2011 season will at least be acknowledged as not being an entirely selfish act.

RIP

P.S. if you are actually speaking on behalf of the players, perhaps your words have some credibility. If not, then maybe supporting St.Kilda FC was never really for you?
