Seems like kick it to Roo still holds sway. He does have the same number. Maybe they’re confused.portosaint wrote: ↑Sat 29 Aug 2020 10:59pm We are still rubbish folks.
As the weeks go on, I'm struggling to find any reason in our game that says Ratts will be the messiah.
Same old rubbish

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
Dougal - useless.
Billings - non-existant.
Geary - irrelevant "has been".
King - can not mark the ball.
Season over. Even if we make finals, we are pretenders. Need a big recruiting offseason to be a proper team.

If we are ever going to be a good side we have to have a captain that is an “A” grade player.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
Ratts was completely out coached for the 3rd time this year. Your forward entry approach bombing it on top of King every F50 is ridiculous when he is getting slaughtered.
Terrible use of our small forwards Hind, Butler & Kent.
I said it during the game that will cost us a finals position that loss.
Ratts I think you a good for the club but your match day coaching needs some work.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
We did the damage with our putrid, putrid football. Can’t blame anyone else tonight.
The only consolation is that Melbourne are absolute rubbish.

You, no doubt, will be looking forward to the day when the King twins are reunited at the same club. Everyone on this forum seems to believe this will happen.Jacks Back wrote: ↑Sat 29 Aug 2020 10:57pm Full time

Saints 4 losses by a goal or under this year. Don't deserve to play finals. PISS WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
Time to re-assess King. We will not play finals now. May as well get him back into the gym and bulk up for next year.
Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
said it earlier..if we can't beat the Demons we dont deserve to be in the 8.
Time to think about next season. Should we start to worry about the Coach ?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
+16 inside 50s....horrible football.
One kick (from Sinclair) to the advantage of a forward
Billings, Kent, Geary, King., Hind all need a rest
Gutted

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
It is not Kings fault
FFS he’s 19 and clearly a good lead up forward
We are bombing it into forward 50 over and over again
King gets some space and a run and jump at the footy and he’ll be hard to stop
Our forward 50 coach (please tell me it’s not A Hamill needs the arse)
“Yeah….nah””

Why did Battle have only 67% game time tonight?

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
Kent 9 possessions, Clark 8, Membrey 7, Battle 6, Ryder 6, Hind 5, King 3
Not good enough when you have no winning forwards.

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
Yep agree. We can cover Seb Ross as well. Steele and Zak Jones need genuine midfield help, not unreliable, inconsistent, going missing, middle of the road, occasional flashes of quality pretenders.Teflon wrote: ↑Sat 29 Aug 2020 11:01pm To long to make a change up forward
King was monstered all night with pathetic delivery into forward 50
Lost that out of the coaching box
No forward structure
For a side that thinks it’s a finals contender you just saw what we are
We’ve caught some sides bu surprise this year but they’ve woken up
Stop saints run off half back and they blaze away into forward 50
Absolutely gutted by that effort
Lots of passengers again when it mattered
I will say it again we can cover Jack Billings get a class goal kicking mid in the side
Patracca plays for us tonight we win comfortably
Just shyteful

He needs to go back in the box so he can actually see the game. The moronic fashion of being on the boundary is just that - moronic.Impatient Sainter wrote: ↑Sat 29 Aug 2020 11:02pm...

Re: Match Thread Saints v Demons Round 14 2020
Someone please tell me - what is Ratten's gameplan re forward 50 entries. It is literally "bomb it in there everytime". What are they practising at training? How is that acceptable? I thought this method would end when Richardson was fired.
