Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
Its clear to see this team has improved.
We have not been disgraced against a much more battle hardened footy team. The boys can't and wont be up every week. They were off today. Geary is a massive out. As is Marshall. As were our skills. We butchered the footy. Missed so many opportunities. Ahh well.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
We'd had 2 or 3 weeks of outstanding football. The boys have given their all and the match against the Dees was brutal. Whose job is it to assess whether players are stuffed or not?
We have decent depth and we should use that depth. Take a risk on team selection and change things up for our players who have niggles and we may not have run out of puff. No goals so far in the last qtr
I reckon the fact that Kent has been flat, Billings and many others have been down on their usual output, it means that the coaches have failed the supporters and failed to understand that players are not machines

We don't have any depth.
Shallow as all hell.
Our backline is absolutely cooked.

If he was on one leg why the hell play him? Was he injured during the game. Dal suggested he came into the game carrying a niggle. Poor selection again.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
Exactly. Bruce played injured today and that was damaging to the team. He shouldn't have played as the Crows' defenders had a field day on him, given he was on one leg.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sat 27 Apr 2019 8:04pmIf Bruce was no good could have easily brought in Joyce and played Battle forward.scallopsroe wrote: ↑Sat 27 Apr 2019 8:02pmIf he was on one leg why the hell play him?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
Should have taken early chances to put scoreboard pressure on crows. We didn't they won. Kent poor tonight. A few othwrs flat but my god longer is average at best.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
Outcoached IMO. Our long down the line and switch tactics are well documented by round 6 and the Crows covered it like a blanket.
Just guessing, but I reckon we missed the on-field coaching from Geary.
Dunno what game the Longer lovers were watching, he did almost nothing. Well done for taking some marks that it's his job to take, but he was no good. Not the future. He punched the ball up in the air from a centre bounce!
Oh well, on to next week. At least we've got some tape on what not to do.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
No big deal
Coaches staying true to the saying; "we're all in it together" and you have to reward all the guys from last week and just play them no matter if they're carrying niggles especially when they assured Cho that they'd be fine
Fitness staff had some doubts but coaches helping out the boys so they still get a match payment.
Use the whole god damn list. Play a bloke like White who is fit and in form. Drop Kent 2 weeks ago for his poor form and perhaps he plays a bit fresher today. We did it with Stuv, so we also need to be mindful of managing all the players

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
Well I think it was pretty obvious today that we are feeling the effect of a very tough few weeks .It is very difficult to keep backing up week in week out with our list .After quarter time the run just seem to slow but full credit to the boy's they gave it their best but the Crows just way too good. Too many passengers today but hopefully we will learn from this even if the next few weeks might be a a little more challenging .

The game turned when Lonie went down. He's going to be a big loss.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
We will bounce back.
Bruce shouldn't have played. Longer may not play again after that. Kent and Sincs not doing enough for too many weeks this year.
Paton and Battle were great. Backline still pretty good, to only lose by 5 goals and get smashed in the clearances like we did.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
I will give credit where a bit of credit is due, Longer played the best game I have seen him play for a long time.
However, his game was no where as effective as Marshalls is to us. We get a lot more clearances because of Marshall's ability to get the ball in the middle and get it out with a handball or kick.
Longer dies not have this ability, but as I said, he took some good marks and got a few possessions.

For a young side the below par performance didnt surprise.
Pretty clear that Bruce shouldnt have played, but Marshall dropping out probably forced their hand.
Would have liked to see Battle thrown forward in the last Q with Membrey and let Bruce go to Walker.
Still thought the team effort was strong.
Lonie going early clearly upset our front pressure.
Parker very good...will tear some games apart down the track.
Nee!

I’ll break it down for you, cairnsman commented and you jumped in with a comment (hence you’re the fan boy).

Re: Match Thread Saints v Crows Round 6 2019
No it hadn't. Adelaide had brought it back to an even contest after we'd dominated early. They hadn't taken control. Lonie was close to BOG when he was injured. Our forward pressure disappeared when he went off.The_Dud wrote: ↑Sat 27 Apr 2019 8:35pmGame had turned before then.Linton Lodger wrote: ↑Sat 27 Apr 2019 8:27pmThe game turned when Lonie went down.
