Re: Match Thread Saints v GC Suns Round 14 2017
We must have some of the dumbest footballers going around in the AFL... and sadly it seems they ALL play for StKilda FC..?! Either that or we have a Game Plan that is so complicated the players cannot buy into it. Honestly. It is sad to sit here without any interest in the outcome and realise we are kidding ourselves if we think we're good enough to make the Finals this year. We're flat-footed... slow... lack skill... persist with arm tackles and generally second to the ball. Too many Saints are not good enough for AFL! PWOIT is right - footballers not athletes. And Premiership Saint might be right too... Is Richo the right man? Had questions indeed. But we ARE playing for sheep stations here and right now we don't quite measure up!

Re: Match Thread Saints v GC Suns Round 14 2017
seen some good games this weekend...watching the Saints atm is so disappointing, hard to imagine but I think they are getting worse, was hoping for a good 2018..now maybe 2019.
Skills deplorable , so disappointed.

8cres has had 3 disposals to half time. He needs to lift otherwise he won't get to visit home next week.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”
St Kilda - At least we have a Crest!

Re: Match Thread Saints v GC Suns Round 14 2017
We are going backwards. Ugly to watch . More players have plateaued or going backwards than players on the rise. Something stinks at Seaford , possibly everything

Billings easily our best and his mate Sinclair probably 2nd best for mine
Those two look a different level of skill and direct, purposeful posessions.. the rest look like headless chooks

We will probably end up winning this by 10 goals and everyone will still have a whinge ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Match Thread Saints v GC Suns Round 14 2017
In all honesty, regardless of his form, we need to try Hickey again next week in the ruck. He can't do any worse. Desperately need a solution for our 2nd ruck. In all honesty, unless there's a rapid improvement, I don't want to make the finals playing like this. We must be one of the worst teams to watch in the comp right now.
Think of me long enough to make a memory.

While we're at it, let just drop every game for the rest of the year.

Frustrating to watch, others like Gresh and Acres have the same ability but the just don't have the quietness of mind at times.
Steven needs to break free.

Bruce, you are not a good enough forward to be missing shots at goal. You are in there to convert shots
