If we don't put up a genuine fight tomorrow I give up
Been here through the good times, the hard times and the lean times. With a bit of luck we could have made the finals the last two seasons, but this year it looks like the same old underwhelmjng underachieving saints are back.
I go almost every home game, but without genuine endeavour from the coach and the team (even when lose) the motivation will be hard to keep up.
Let's see the club get our season back on track tomorrow...I'll be cheering my heart out from the stands.

Re: If we don't put up a genuine fight tomorrow I give up
Thankfully the players WONT give up- they will continue to turn up each week.
Unlike many saints supporters -
in some ways Essendon supporters put Saint Supporters to shame- they signed up in greater numbers when the club was in trouble- Saints fans drop off...

I think it’s a miracle St Kilda has the support its got although this current hole doesn’t appear to have a Butters/Thomas saviourcfeel about it and you do wonder where the spark this club/list needs will come from

Re: If we don't put up a genuine fight tomorrow I give up
hmm.
players turn up, make crap, get paid heaps.
fans turn up, eat crap, pay heaps.
it's kinda not the best comparison.

Re: If we don't put up a genuine fight tomorrow I give up
All I want is the team to have a crack. I also want the coach to change it up a little. Please no more bomb it in long. It just doesn't work. Lower the eyes and hit targets. The manic pressure doesn't work either. We don't have the speed or the skills to pull it off. Please AR. Do something different.

The players turn up for an average salary of a few hundred thousand each.saintbrat wrote:Thankfully the players WONT give up- they will continue to turn up each week.

The supporters turn up because they have shelled out at least $200 each.

Re: If we don't put up a genuine fight tomorrow I give up
Were not fit enough
We lack on field leadership.
Make no mistake CARLISLE is our captain and leader on field. CARLSISLE. Ffs
He is a gun but at what other club would he be number 1 leader.
Geary has lost it this year
I remember thinking in pre season there was too many smiles and laughs going on. Things were too nice and comfortable. They thought natural progressikn would just happen, that purting in a good pre season would do it. NO. We needed a hard nosed ass out pre season.
You will NEVER give up. Youre a supporter. Our job is to support no matter what and hypothesise what we should do.
We need better HARDER coaches. We need to get experienced talent in Sloane Gaff Shie or Kelly.
And we need time into youngsters and next pre season better not be smiling and laughing and a good time.

Re: If we don't put up a genuine fight tomorrow I give up
Melbourne are inconsistent so this is the type of game they drop. I have been supporting the Saints a long time, and historically this is the type of game we lift for.
Talent-wise Melbourne have it all over us I'm afraid so we will have to bring a physical contest today. If we can out muscle them early we're in with a real chance, but my one query of Richardson is his approach to mentally preparing the team before games. Our players seem to take a quarter to warm up, and in some matches, like last week and against North and GWS we were lucky that they were inaccurate early, which left us in those games when we shouldn't have been.
This is one area which hasn't been highlighted by media or by the coaches in press conferences or football analysis tv programs, but I think it is as big a problem as our poor disposal and scoring conversion.
I believe by continuing to play Gilbert and bringing Armo back in is an indication that the club believe this is a very winnable game, which it is, however if we were to lose today I think our veterans need to come out of the side for the foreseeable future and the club need to select youth, rather than playing it safe. We might uncover some real talent.

The problem is that with our game plan, there are very rarely targets to hit up in the forward 50.ROLS-LEE wrote:All I want is the team to have a crack.

Re the game plan:
In Armo We Trust.
Remember those words for today please.
IF Armo is our inside mid clearance King today we win.
Simple as that, because it enables LESS numbers at the contest and MORE options elsewhere.
