Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018
I want to know what the club is going to do about this. Presidet, Board, CEO etc. 1 win its a disaster. Footy department told them we had a top 4 team. Must be held to account.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018
They are running off Tim bigtime - his defensive game is crap. If Savage continues to just bomb it down the line I will puke - get rid of him. To top it off we are slow as treacle.Jacks Back wrote: ↑Sat 09 Jun 2018 10:24pm Timmy kicks 6 straight last week and this week he hasn't even had a shot at goal. WTF is going on? Is richardson playing him on a wing or something?

Of course. I am under 30. It builds character being a Saints supporter and having to suffer poor performances and read about why Hickey is so badCon Gorozidis wrote: ↑Sat 09 Jun 2018 10:22pm Honest question. Does anybody under the age of 30 actually go for the Saints? Is the club endangered? No way are we getting any new or young fans anytime soon.

Honest question. Does anybody under the age of 30 actually go for the Saints? Is the club endangered? No way are we getting any new or young fans anytime soon.
If I have to suffer then so does he.
Pleas don’t call child services.
Does he have many mates his age who go for the Saints?
The eldest is 6 and just loves cheering the Saints. He doesn’t have a grasp on the concept of winning or losing. Just wants to high five anytime a Saints player has the ball.
I watched the first half with him, and this will sound strange, I had a great time watching the game.
Then he went to bed and I had to face the reality of what I was actually witnessing.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018
I would love to see how the Swans train compared to us. Position themselves well, kick to advantage, block for each other.

I like Edgar Allan Poe. One of my faves. Lighter and easier to read than it is watching us play footy.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018
Gresham trying to snap from the goalsquare, somehow managing to kick backwards away from goal. Paddy marks the ball which went about 10m and kicks a point from the goalsquare. Just a comedy of errors that summed our season.

Happy to give Steven some slack but one bad game and you want to trade him.
Seriously

watching the ball move so freely for the swans with no pressure is just too much to cop. this ladies and gentlemen is rock bottom, Carlton fans will be watching this with some relief knowing that there is someone out there that will take the limelight off them.
I am totally bereft of any hope in this side for a long time to come..I said similar after the pre seasons and was challenged. it was easy to see how bad we were back then. The fans need to let the club know enough is enough.
We will come out and kick a few goals in the last quarter once the game is over and the Swans have switched off.
Then Richo will go on about the positives in the last quarter and how we showed some 'pleasing signs' to 'fight back' and play some 'good strong footy at the end'.
He will then say 'we arent where we need to be' and we will 'go away and work on a few things'. We will "take that good form in to next week' and we just 'need to be more consistent for the full four quarters' . He will sneak in 'this is a young group' just to give himself another excuse.
If this happens I am going to SPEW UP.

Enough is enough. Sack Richardson now. Lame. Insipid. Devoid of cohesion. Embarrassing.

Webster has been good again.
We’re not losing by 100 I guess.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Swans Round 12 2018
I know I’m going to get killed for this, but I’m not too unhappy with Paddy’s game tonight. Should have kicked 4, just like the whole team should have kicked 13.6, not 6.13st.byron wrote: ↑Sat 09 Jun 2018 10:39pmNumber one draft pick right there
